Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (“Skyworks”) is committed to protecting your privacy. Skyworks
feels it is important that you fully understand the terms and conditions under which
we may use the information we gather from you through your use of our Website (“Site”).
Please read this Privacy Policy (“Policy”) carefully to understand how we may use
and protect information that we gather from you. Changes to this Policy will be
announced on our Site from time to time, so please check back periodically.
1. What information may we collect from you?
Our Site may collect two types of information about its visitors: Personally Identifiable
Information and Non-Personally Identifiable Information. Our primary goal in collecting
information from you is to provide you with a smooth, efficient and customized experience
while using our Site.
Personally Identifiable Information: This refers to information that lets
us know the specifics of who you are. Personal Identifiable Information may be requested
when you register for E-mail Alerts for investor information, request to receive
an Investor Kit, receive a Skyworks Quarterly Financial Report via live Webcast,
use our Order Status services, use our Shipment Status services, use our Account
Information services or our Product Return service, or submit a resume to us for
employment, or request Product Information and Literature. This information might
include your name, mailing address, telephone number, e-mail address, account number,
social security number, credit card number or other payment or account information,
product or service details, and other identification and contact information. With
this information we can better provide you with personalized services. We may also
gather any Personally Identifiable Information that you voluntarily disclose to
us, for instance, when you e-mail us, contact our customer service representatives
or otherwise send us feedback. For a few services, we may collect your Personally
Identifiable Information on behalf of other service providers and share it with
them. For example, in order to provide you with live Webcasting of our quarterly
financial reports, we may ask you to provide and share that information with our
third party Webcasting service provider.
Non-Personally Identifiable Information: This refers to information that
does not by itself identify a specific individual. We may gather certain information
about you based upon what pages of our Site you visit in several ways. This information
is compiled and analyzed on both a personal and an aggregated basis. This information
may include the Web site’s Uniform Resource Locator (“URL”) of the site that you
last visited, which URL you visit next, what browser you are using, and your Internet
Protocol (“IP”) address. A URL is the global address of documents and other resources
on the World Wide Web. An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on
a Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (“TCP/IP”) network, such as the
World Wide Web. Networks use the TCP/IP protocol to route information based on the
IP address of the destination. In other words, an IP address is a number that is
automatically assigned to your computer whenever you are surfing the Web, allowing
Web servers to locate and identify your computer. Computers require IP addresses
in order for users to communicate on the Internet, browse and conduct transactions.
2. Where do we collect information from you and how do we use it?
Our primary goal in collecting information is to provide our visitors with a superior
customized online experience. We may perform statistical analyses of aggregate visitor
behavior. This allows us to measure relative visitor interest in the various areas
of our Site for product and services development purposes. Any information we collect
is used for our own internal purposes to improve the content of our Site, to enhance
users' experiences when visiting our Site, to customize the content and/or layout
of our pages, and to provide the services required by an individual visitor.
We may also share your Personally Identifiable Information with third parties as
explained later in this Policy.
We may gather information in the following ways:
E-mail Alerts:
We offer free e-mail alerts regarding Skyworks investor information as a service
to participating visitors. To receive such e-mail alerts, you must give us your
e-mail address, which we forward to our third party service provider that will provide
you with e-mail alerts. You may receive e-mails periodically updating you regarding
our financial background and relevant information for potential and current investors.
To stop receiving our e-mail alerts, send an e-mail to us at
webworks@skyworksinc.com
. Investor Kits: We may offer free investor kits to help inform potential investors
of opportunities to invest in Skyworks and information regarding how the process
works. To receive an investor kit, you must provide us your e-mail address, name,
institution, title, telephone, and mailing address, so that we can forward this
information to our third party service provider that will in turn provide you with
an investor kit.
Webcasting of Quarterly Financial Reports: When generally available to the
public, we may offer you the opportunity to review our quarterly financial reports
via live Webcasting. To attend a Webcast, you must provide us with information that
we will forward to our third party Webcasting service provider that will in turn
grant you access to the live Webcast.
Order Status, Shipment Status, Account Information and Product Returns:
On our Site we may offer you the opportunity to confirm the correctness and expected
delivery date of your product orders, as well as track the shipment of those products
through our Order Status and Shipment Status services. You may also confirm that
your account information is correct through our Account Information service. In
addition, if offered, you may conduct a product return transaction through our Site’s
Product Returns service. In order to use any of our Order Status, Shipment Status,
Account Information or Product Returns services you must register with us to obtain
a user name and a password for your account. To register you must provide us with
your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address. You cannot access these services

by sending an e-mail explaining that you no longer wish to be registered to use
such services to us at

our Site, we may collect such information in a file specific to you. If you contact
us through our feedback area or by calling one of our customer service representatives,
we may ask for your name and e-mail address in order to send you a reply. If other
users or third parties send us correspondence about your activities on our Site,
we may keep the information in a file specific to you. This information will not
be turned over to any third parties unless we (i) determine it is reasonably necessary
to enforce or apply our Terms and Conditions of Use, our Policy, or to protect the
rights, property and safety of our users, others or ourselves, or (ii) is required
by law enforcement or judicial authorities to do so.
Visitor Traffic:
We may also track visitors’ traffic patterns throughout their online sessions in
our Site, including which pages a visitor views while using our Site. This information
is ultimately stored in the form of store categories, and, in some cases, specific
URLs. We may share aggregated statistics about pages viewed on our Site and other
related information.
3. Who is collecting your information?
Except as otherwise expressly discussed in this Policy, this document only addresses
the use and disclosure of information we might collect from you. We encourage you
to ask questions and to be very cautious before you disclose your Personally Identifiable
Information to any third parties.
Third Party Service Providers: We may use third party service providers to provide
you with E-mail Alerts, Investor Kits, Webcasting of Quarterly Financial Reports
and Product Information and Literature. Those third party providers will have access
to your Personally Identifiable Information, but only for the purpose of providing
their relevant services to you. Your Personally Identifiable Information will not
be used for any other purpose.
Links and Banner Ads to Third-Party Sites: Please be aware that our Site may contain
links to other sites on the Internet that are owned and operated by third parties.
The information practices of these third party Web sites linking from or to our
Site are not covered by this Policy. These other third party Web sites may send
their own cookies to users, collect data, or solicit personal information. Additionally,
other companies that place advertising on our Site may collect information about
you through the use of cookies when you view or click on their advertising. We cannot
control this collection of information. You should contact advertisers directly
if you have any questions about their use of the information that they collect.
4. With whom do we share your information?
Third Party Service Providers: We may disclose your Personally Identifiable Information
to third parties to provide you with services that you request, for instance, delivery
of E-mail Alerts and Investor Kits, Delivery of Product Information and Literature,
and Webcasting of Quarterly Financial Reports.
Other Third Parties: We do not sell, trade, or rent your Personally Identifiable
Information to others. We may provide Non-Personally Identifiable Information about
our visitors’ traffic patterns, and related site information to third parties, but
these statistics do not include any Personally Identifiable Information.
Judicial or Law Enforcement Authorities: Occasionally we may be required by regulatory,
law enforcement or judicial authorities to provide Personally Identifiable Information
to those authorities. We will disclose Personally Identifiable Information upon
receipt of a court order, subpoena, or to cooperate with a regulatory or law enforcement
investigation. We fully cooperate with regulatory and law enforcement agencies in
identifying those who use our Site or services for illegal activities. We reserve
the right to report to regulatory or law enforcement agencies any activities that
we in good faith believe to be unlawful.
Merger and Acquisitions Partners: We may disclose or transfer all or part of the
Personally Identifiable Information we collect to a third party in connection with
a merger, sale or other similar transaction between us and another entity.
5. How can you update or correct your Personally Identifiable Information?
You may access and edit the Personally Identifiable Information that you have provided
to us. During the online registration process you may review, change, or delete
the information that you have submitted. You may change any of your personal information
in your account online at any time. We encourage you to promptly update your information
if it changes. You may ask to have the information on your account deleted or removed;
however, because we keep track of past purchases, you cannot delete information
associated with past purchases. Also, as a security measure we “back up” the data
stored on our systems, and such prior information cannot be completely removed from
our databases. As a result, you should not expect that all of your Personally Identifiable
Information will be completely removed from our backed-up databases.
6. What are your choices regarding collection, use and distribution of your information?
We may from time to time send you e-mail or other communications regarding current
promotions, specials and new additions to our Site. You may “opt-out,” or unsubscribe
from our newsletters by following the unsubscribe instructions in any e-mail you
receive from us. After doing so, you will not receive future communications or mailings
unless you “opt in” again or register for a new account.
7. What security precautions are in place to protect against the loss, misuse or
alteration of your information?
We employ industry-recognized information technology to protect the security of
the Personally Identifiable Information we solicit from you. Our secure servers
protect this information using password protection and encryption, and we may use
firewall technology for additional protection. Furthermore, all of the Personally
Identifiable Information we collect that is stored on a server is also protected
against unauthorized access by physical security means.
We also encourage our partners and service providers to adopt and follow responsible
privacy policies.
8. What are cookies?
A cookie is a small data text file, which a Web site stores on your computer’s hard
drive (if your Web browser permits) that can later be retrieved to identify you
when you return to the same site. Cookies were designed to help a Web site recognize
a user's browser as a visitor and thus save and remember any preferences that may
have been set while the user was browsing the site. A cookie cannot generally be
read by a Web site other than the one that set the cookie. Cookies can securely
store your password, personalize home pages, identify parts of a site you have visited
or keep track of your selections. A cookie generally cannot retrieve any other data
from your hard drive, pass on a computer virus, or capture your e-mail address.
We use cookies in a limited fashion. When you use our Site we may store “cookies”
on your computer for navigational purposes only. We use cookies only during each
visit by you to our Site, and we do not make use of cookies after a session ends.
These cookies allow us to track where you have been on our Site during your visit
so that we may provide you appropriate and updated information. We do not track
what Web sites you have been to or go to after you leave our Site.
9. Does this Privacy Policy cover third party sites accessible from our Site?
Our Site may contain links to other sites on the Internet that are owned and operated
by third parties. Other third party sites accessible through our Site have their
own privacy policies and data collection, use and disclosure practices. Please consult
each individual site’s privacy policy. We are not responsible for the policies or
practices of third parties. This Policy does not cover the information practices
of those third party Web sites linked to our Site. These third party sites may send
their own cookies to users computers and collect data or solicit personal information.
Any other companies which place links on our Site, which may be in the form of advertisements
or otherwise, and may collect information about you when you view or click on such
third party links through the use of cookies. We cannot control this collection
of information. You should contact these third party sites directly if you have
any questions about their use of the information that they collect.

12. Children under the age of 13
Our Site does not intentionally target and is not intended for children under the
age of 13. Skyworks values the privacy needs of children and encourages parents
to be an active participant in their child's online activities. Skyworks abides
by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Our Site does not intentionally
target children and we will not knowingly collect any data from children. If we
discover personal data from a child that has been provided to us through our Site
that is targeted to or intended for adults and older children, we will eliminate
that data immediately. If any portion of our Site in the future includes material
targeted to children under the age of 13 as part of a broader family audience target
and the collection of such Personal Identifiable Information is involved, those
specific web pages will be clearly identified, and will require that a parent's
or guardian's permission is secured when required under COPPA. Appropriate notices
and instructions will also be included on such Site pages. Parents wishing to access,
review or delete their child's personal information should contact us at
webworks@skyworksinc.com.
