7. 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, taking into account the applicable limitation periods, and will delete it without undue delay afterwards.

We will, however, retain and use Personal Information after this timeframe as needed to resolve any disputes, and satisfy any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
8. Where is Personal Information stored and transferred?
Subject to your permission or as permitted by law, we may transfer your Personal Information within Skyworks and to third-party vendors or service providers across state and country borders.
If we transfer Personal Information from the EEA or the UK to other (third) countries, including countries that have not been determined by the European Commission to have an adequate level of data protection (a list of the Skyworks entities and third-party recipients located outside the EEA and UK is available here), we use appropriate safeguards and legal mechanisms to effectuate the transfer. Transfers to third countries outside the EEA or the UK, for which there is no adequacy decision, will usually be based on the so-called Standard Contractual Clauses including where necessary the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) International Data Transfer Addendum to the EU Commission Standard Contractual Clauses (“UK Addendum”) or the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (“IDTA”) respectively (together, “SCCs”). Depending on whether the recipient outside the EEA or the UK is acting as a so-called “controller” or “processor,” the respective set of SCCs will be used. The text of the SCCs is currently available at: https://commission.europa.eu/publications/standard-contractual-clauses-international-transfers_en. The UK Addendum and the IDTA are available at:https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protection/guide-to-the-general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/international-data-transfer-agreement-and-guidance/.
A copy of the transfer safeguards used can be obtained by contacting our Data Protection Contact by sending an email to webworks@skyworksinc.com.
We may also exceptionally base transfers to recipients outside the EEA or the UK on the derogations listed in Article 49 of the GDPR or UK 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.
Specifically with regard to Personal Information collected via cookies, please note that in some cases cookie information may also be processed by our service providers or by the providers of third-party cookies in countries outside the EEA and/or UK that do not offer a level of data protection comparable to the EEA and UK (as applicable). In some countries, such as the USA, there is a particular risk that local authorities may obtain access to cookie information for monitoring purposes and there may be no effective legal remedies against such access. To the extent that you have given your consent to the use of cookies, you also consent to the transfer and further processing of Personal Information collected via cookies to countries outside the EEA and the UK. The transfer is also usually additionally secured by the conclusion of SCCs.
References in this Policy to GDPR shall be read, where UK GDPR is applicable, as references to the equivalent provision of UK GDPR.
9. What about children’s privacy?
We neither intentionally nor knowingly collect Personal Information concerning children as defined by applicable law. Our websites is not directed to children.

Professional or employment-related information, including job title or business affiliation.
This Personal Information is collected and used for the purposes disclosed in this Privacy Policy.
To the extent that we collect sensitive Personal Information, we do not infer characteristics from this information. We only use sensitive Personal Information as necessary to perform the services or provide the goods the average person would reasonably expect when requesting those goods or services, to ensure security and integrity, short term transient use, to maintain the quality of our products and services, or for other purposes permitted by the California Privacy Rights Act and implementing regulations (“CPRA”) without the right to opt out.

An example of Deidentified Information would be the data point that an unidentified visitor first entered the website through our main web page.

b. Disclosures of Personal Information
Skyworks does not sell or “share” Personal Information (where “share” means disclosing to third parties for cross-context behavioral advertising). Moreover, Skyworks has not, and has no actual knowledge that it has, sold or “shared” the Personal Information of any individual in the past 12 months, including the Personal Information of children under the age of 16.
