APPLICANT NOTICE ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

1. Overview

This Notice explains your rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.100 et seq.) and helps you understand how Ava Labs, Inc. (together with our subsidiaries and affiliates, “Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collects and uses your Personal Information in compliance with the CCPA. The CCPA provides a right to notice at collection for certain California residents including prospective employees (“Applicants” or “you”). In this Notice, the terms “Applicant” or “you” refer to job applicants or candidates for employment with the Company who live in California. 

2. What Information We Collect 

The categories of Personal Information we collect and use may vary depending on location or the position(s) applied for, as well as the associated qualifications and responsibilities for the position. 

This Applicant Notice does not address or apply to our collection of Personal Information that is not subject to the CCPA, such as consumer credit reports and background checks, publicly available data lawfully made available from state or federal government records, or other information that is exempt under the CCPA.

3. Additional Rights Under California Law 

At this time, the CCPA does not afford you the right to make requests regarding your Personal Information. The Company will inform you about any policies and procedures related to such rights if they become available. This does not affect other rights you may have under the California Labor Code or similar laws. 

Beginning on January 1, 2023, your rights under the CCPA, including the rights to request access and delete information, may change. We update our disclosures annually and recommend that you review this notice to see how your rights may have changed.

4. How You Are Protected Against Discrimination

The Company will not unlawfully discriminate against you for exercising any of your rights under the CCPA. This commitment applies to all persons involved in our operations and prohibits unlawful discrimination by any Contractor of the Company, including supervisors and coworkers. 

5. Disclaimer

Nothing in this Notice restricts the Company’s ability to:

• Comply with federal, state, or local laws;
• Comply with a civil, criminal, or regulatory inquiry, investigation, subpoena, or summons by federal, state, or local authorities;
• Cooperate with law enforcement agencies concerning conduct or activity that may violate federal, state, or local law; 
• Exercise or defend legal claims; 
• Detect security incidents and protect against fraudulent or illegal activity and prosecute those responsible for such activity; or
• Transfer Personal Information as part of a merger or acquisition, dissolution, bankruptcy, or any other transaction in which a third party assumes control of all or part of the Company.
