CCPA Privacy Policy for Prestolite Electric

Effective Date: December 21, 2025

This Privacy Policy for California Residents supplements the information in our general policy and applies solely to visitors who reside in the State of California. It describes our practices regarding the collection and disclosure of personal information as required by the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).

1. Information We Collect

While Prestolite Electric does not directly collect consumer information through forms or sales, our website uses automated tools that collect certain identifiers from your device. In the past 12 months, we have collected the following categories:

Identifiers: Internet Protocol (IP) address, unique device identifiers, and cookie-based IDs.
Internet Activity: Browsing history and information regarding your interaction with our website, including videos viewed via embedded players.

2. Sources and Purpose of Collection

Google Analytics: We use this to understand how visitors use our site and to improve performance. This tool collects your IP address and site interaction data.
Embedded Media (YouTube): Our site contains embedded YouTube videos. When you visit a page with an embedded video, YouTube (owned by Google) may collect information about your interaction, such as your IP address and the fact that you viewed the video.

3. Notice Regarding Third-Party Data Processing

Prestolite Electric does not sell your personal information for money. However, the use of third-party tools like Google Analytics and YouTube involves the automatic transfer of data to Google. While we use these tools for basic site functionality, we do not control, and are not responsible for, how Google uses your data for its own purposes. We recommend reviewing Google’s Privacy Policy to understand their data processing practices.

4. Job Applicant and Careers-Related Information

This section applies only to individuals who submit employment or job-related information through our Careers page, downloadable application forms, or by email submission.

Information Collected for Employment Purposes

When you apply for a position with Prestolite Electric Incorporated, we may collect personal information that is separate from information collected through normal website use, including:

  • Identifiers: Full name, email address, phone number, mailing address
  • Professional and Employment Information: Resume or CV details, work history, education, skills, certifications, licenses, and references
  • Application Materials: Cover letters, portfolios, attachments, or other documents you voluntarily submit
  • Communication Information: Any correspondence related to your job application, including availability, compensation expectations, or follow-up communications

This information is collected only when you voluntarily submit it as part of an employment inquiry or job application.

Purpose of Collection

Job applicant information is collected and used solely to:

  • Evaluate qualifications for current or future employment opportunities
  • Communicate with applicants regarding application status or opportunities
  • Maintain records related to hiring decisions
  • Comply with legal, regulatory, or internal reporting obligations

Job applicant information is not used for marketing, advertising, or website analytics purposes.

Disclosure and Sale of Job Applicant Information

Prestolite does not sell or share job applicant personal information as defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) or California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).

If third parties are used to support recruitment or hiring activities (such as background screening or HR administration), such parties act as service providers and are contractually obligated to use applicant information only for authorized employment-related purposes.

Retention of Applicant Information

We retain job applicant information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described above, including legal compliance, dispute resolution, and record-keeping requirements.

California Applicant Privacy Rights

California residents who submit job applications have the right to:

  • Request access to personal information collected during the application processes
  • Request correction of inaccurate applicant information
  • Request deletion of applicant personal information, subject to legal exceptions
