Scope of Disclosures
These California Privacy Disclosures (the “California Disclosures”) supplement the information contained in our privacy policy and apply solely to individual residents of the State of California (“consumers” or “you”). These California Disclosures do not apply to personal information we collect about our California job applicants, employees, contractors, and other personnel, which is described in our Personnel Privacy Notice.
These California Disclosures provide additional information about how FormFactor, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, “FormFactor,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) collect, use, disclose and otherwise process personal information of individual residents of the State of California, either online or offline, within the scope of the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”).
Unless otherwise expressly stated, all terms in these California Disclosures have the same meaning as defined in our privacy policy or as otherwise defined in the CCPA.
What is Personal Information?
When we use the term “personal information” in these California Disclosures, we mean information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, to an individual or household. Personal information may exist in various formats, including physical formats, digital formats, and abstract digital formats, such as artificial intelligence systems that are capable of outputting personal information. It does not include publicly available information or information that has been aggregated or deidentified and that is maintained in a form that is not capable of being associated with or reasonably linked to an individual person.

Use of Personal Information
We use the personal information we collect in the following ways:
- Analyze and improve our communications and strategies
- Operate, evaluate, secure, and improve our business
- Respond to your inquiries and requests
- Provide you with and manage access to our Services
- Enhance our Services
- Develop marketing and customer relationship management activities
- Enhance online security

- Comply with legal process and our legal obligations
- Evaluate and carry out corporate transactions, such as a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets
- Support investor relations
- Fulfill our contractual obligations to you, including processing orders and providing contracted products or services
In the absence of a verifiable consumer request from you, we will retain each category of personal information for as long as reasonably necessary and proportionate to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, and as required or permitted by law, before deleting (and directing our service providers to delete) it. Retention periods can vary based on the category of personal information, and we use criteria which include the following to determine the relevant retention period: contract requirements, operational needs, legally mandated retention periods, pending and potential litigation, historical archiving, and intellectual property or ownership rights. Under our records retention policy, we generally retain personal information collected through our website and from customers and business contacts for up to seven (7) years from the end of your engagement with FormFactor.
We do not sell or share (cross-context behavioral advertising, under the CCPA) personal information that we collect or process, and we have not done so in the preceding twelve (12) months. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under sixteen (16) years of age.
Information Sharing
As described in the “With whom do we share your personal information?” section of the privacy policy, we disclose personal information within and outside of FormFactor for business purposes. We share the personal information we obtain as follows:
- Affiliates: we may disclose personal information to our corporate affiliates or subsidiaries, which operate under the FormFactor brand or process the personal information on our behalf.
- Service Providers: We disclose personal information to vendors that perform services on our behalf, such as IT and cloud hosting, customer relationship management, marketing communications, and professional advisors. We do not authorize service providers to use or disclose information except as necessary to perform services on our behalf or comply with legal requirements.
- Legal: We may disclose personal information (1) if we are required to do so by law or legal process (such as a court order or subpoena); (2) in response to requests by government agencies, such as law enforcement authorities, or where a referral to any appropriate local authority is required by law; (3) to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights; (4) when we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to prevent physical or other harm or financial loss; (5) in connection with an investigation of suspected or actual illegal activity; or (6) as directed by your legal or authorized representative, where applicable.
Your California Privacy Rights
California residents have the following rights under the CCPA:
- Right to Know and Access: You may request that we provide you with the following information about the information that is being collected about you, and how that information was used
- The categories of personal information we have collected about you.
- The categories of sources from which the personal information is collected.
- The business or commercial purpose for collecting, selling or sharing personal information.

How to Exercise Your California Privacy Rights
To Exercise Your Right to Know, Correct, or Delete
To exercise your right to know, correct, and/or right to deletion, please submit a request to [email protected] or by calling 800-919-6776. We will confirm receipt of your request within ten (10) business days and will respond to your request within 45 days from the receipt, which we may extend by an additional 45 days with notice to you and the reason for the extension. We will verify your identity by matching information you provide, such as your name, email address, and company, with information we already maintain, and we may ask you to confirm that you are a California resident. We will request additional information only if needed to verify your identity. If we cannot verify your identity, we will let you know. You may designate an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf; we may require the agent to provide your signed written permission and may ask you to verify your identity directly with us. In some instances, we may be required to continue to retain or disclose portions of your personal data to comply with regulatory or legal obligations. Unless otherwise requested, any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt. Under the CCPA, you may request that we disclose certain information to you about our collection and use of your personal information beyond the past 12 months. We will provide that information unless doing so proves impossible or would involve disproportionate effort, in which case we will explain why.
