The fine print
6 clauses and findings from the draft archive, dated 1 October 2026. The plain English comes first; the small print is the company's own words. None of these has been checked yet.
-
KLA hands your personal information to advertisers and marketing firms so they can run ad campaigns and build a profile of you.
Advertising and Marketing Providers: KLA may share your information with advertisers, marketing businesses, and other entities that help us to create, deliver, and assess our advertising and marketing campaigns and learn more about you and other users of our online services.
-
KLA merges your physical location with what you click on their site and what you've bought, to personalize offers and measure ad performance.
For Advertising and Marketing: We may combine your device's location with browsing data and purchase history to provide personalized content and offers and evaluate the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.
-
KLA doesn't just use data you give them — they buy or obtain information about you from data brokers, public databases, and social media platforms.
We may receive personal information from third parties, such as vendors, suppliers, service providers... These third parties may include advertising and marketing firms, data and information vendors, public database providers, social media platforms, product and service partners...
-
KLA can rewrite its privacy rules whenever it wants, and the new rules apply retroactively to data collected from you before the change.
The Company may change this Privacy Policy from time to time in its sole discretion... The new policy will apply to all current and past users of the online system.
-
If you apply for a job and don't get it, KLA keeps your application data for as long as any law allows, until it decides there's no business reason to hold it.
The Company will retain information of candidates who are not hired for the maximum retention period permitted under applicable law, in particular until there is no longer a legitimate business purpose for retention (in particular to consider you for positions in addition to the position(s) for which you initially applied).
-
KLA won't promise your data stays safe — they've pre-disclaimed responsibility in advance of any breach.
Although KLA uses efforts to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of the personal information that we may process.
How these were found
Sources read Oct 1, 2026: main Privacy Notice at https://kla.com/privacy-policy (states 'last updated on May 6, 2026'), read in full; Career Site Privacy Policy PDF (version dated 2021.12.22) at https://www.kla.com/documents/KLA_Corporation_Global_Career_Site_Privacy_Policy_2021.12.22.pdf. Could NOT access kla.com/terms-of-use (repeated fetch timeouts; no OpenTermsArchive/PrivacyTracker/Difficode mirror found) — arbitration and website-terms findings could not be assessed and scored 0 as absent. KLA is a B2B semiconductor equipment vendor with no consumer accounts or subscription billing, so auto-renew/cancellation traps do not apply; score is kept modest accordingly.
