Skyworks Solutions, Inc. and its affiliates ("Skyworks") value your privacy. This Policy describes how we collect, store, use, and share Personal Information (meaning information that relates to an identified or identifiable person, which is usually referred to as "personal data" in the European Union). At times you may choose to not provide certain Personal Information to us but doing so may limit your ability to use the applicable product or service. We collect Personal Information primarily to improve our services and provide you with an enhanced experience on our website.
1. What is the scope of this Policy?
This Policy applies to Personal Information that we might collect through our website, www.skyworksinc.com, including its subdomains. It does not apply to websites owned and operated by third parties, regardless of whether our website links to or has advertisements for them.
2. What types of information do we collect?
Below is a list of the categories of Personal Information we collect, as well as the means by which we collect them:
Information you provide. We may collect Personal Information about you when, for example, you register for e-mail alerts, request an investor kit, request a quarterly financial report, participate in a live webcast, create an account or edit its information, order a product or service, use our order status or shipment status services, use our product return services, submit an application or resume to us for employment or interact with any of our online recruiting partners, request product information and literature, request to customize a part, provide feedback, or otherwise intentionally send us information (via telephone, written or electronic communications, and so forth). Such information might include your name, mailing address, telephone number, e-mail address, account number, payment or account information, product or service details, job title and business, company name, and other identification and contact information. We may also collect certain information that you provide to third parties (including contact and clicking information), such as when you click on one of our ads in an email from another company or order one of our products or services via another company.
Information we collect from our website. We may also collect certain information about you when you visit our website. If you access our website via a link from a different website, for example, we may collect the URL of that website. Similarly, if you access a different website via a link from our website, we may collect the URL of that website as well.

We may disclose Personal Information as required by law, to cooperate with an investigation, or to protect or exercise our or others' legal rights (including during court proceedings). We may also disclose Personal Information in cases of emergency, to protect others' safety, or to report to law enforcement and government agencies any activities that we in good faith believe to be unlawful.
We may also share Personal Information with our affiliates, our subsidiaries, or third parties in connection with an actual or potential merger, sale, or other similar transaction between us and another entity, to the extent permitted by applicable laws.
We do not otherwise sell, trade, or lease your Personal Information to others.
5. What are the legal bases for the collection and processing?
The purposes for which we process Personal Information are set forth in this Policy and permitted by law. When you provide us with Personal Information to obtain products, services, or information, for example, the legal basis for the processing is performance of contract. When we use cookies, we ask you for your consent. When we collect data regarding usage of our website or services, the legal bases for our processing are our legitimate interests in administering, improving, and protecting our business, website, and services. As another example, when you provide your Personal Information to us for a specific purpose, or agree to its use for a specific purpose, the legal basis for such processing is consent and performance of contract.

After doing so, you will not receive future marketing communications or mailings unless you "opt in" again or register for a new account. Note that we may still send you non-marketing emails related to your account or transactions. We may also send you news alert emails if you choose to request them, unless you separately unsubscribe from those alerts.

We may use third-party services to provide you with personalized advertising. This may include using cookies or pixels (as described above) to show you advertisements based on information about your interests or based on your previous web browsing history. To opt out of the personalization of advertisements, you can visit Google's Ads Settings, optout.networkadvertising.org, or http://optout.aboutads.info, or http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Opting out does not mean you will block online advertising altogether or see fewer ads. It simply means that the advertising that you see will not be personalized for you. Future advertising may be served based on the website you are visiting or your current search, or it may be randomly placed.
7. How is your information secured?
We employ industry-recognized information technology to protect the security of your Personal Information. Our secure servers protect this information using password protection and encryption, and we use firewall technology for additional protection. Furthermore, all of the Personal Information we collect that is stored on a server is also protected against unauthorized access by physical security means.
Please be aware, however, that no data security measures can be guaranteed to be completely effective. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the security of the personal information we collect.
8. How long is your Personal Information retained?
We retain Personal Information for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected and will delete it within a reasonable time afterward. We will, however, retain and use Personal Information as needed to resolve any disputes, enforce our agreements, and satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
9. Where is Personal Information stored and transferred?
Subject to your permission or as permitted by law, we may transfer your Personal Information within Skyworks across state and country borders. Wherever we store or process personal data pursuant to this Policy, we take measures to ensure that the data is processed in compliance with both this Policy and applicable law.
If we transfer personal data from the European Economic Area to other countries, including countries that have not been determined by the European Commission to have an adequate level of data protection, we use appropriate safeguards and legal mechanisms to effectuate the transfer. Transfers to other countries outside the European Economic Area will usually be based on the so-called Standard Contractual Clauses ("SCC"). Depending on whether the recipient outside the EEA is acting as a so-called "controller" or "processor," the respective set of SCCs will be used.
The text of the SCCs is available at https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc_en. We may also base transfers to recipients outside the EEA on the derogations listed in Article 49 of the GDPR. These include explicit consent, the necessity of the transfer for the performance of a contract between the respective individual and us, or if the transfer is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
10. What about children's privacy?
We neither intentionally nor knowingly collect Personal Information concerning children as defined by applicable law. Our website is not directed to children. We request that children do not provide us any such information. If you believe we may have collected such information, please notify us and we will take prompt and appropriate measures to investigate and resolve the issue.
