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 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”). We reserve the right to amend or change this Notice at any time. Any changes will become effective upon posting the revised Notice and/or providing it to you.
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.

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.

Disclosure and Sale of Personal Information
In the last 12 months, we have not made personal information available to third parties for monetary or other valuable considerations. Some personal data may have been made available to the identified services in this disclosure as part of the limited integration with such services on our website.
We do not sell personal information that we collect or process.
Note about “Sales”: We do not “sell” personal information as most people would typically understand that term. However, we do allow certain third-party partners and providers to collect information about consumers directly through our Services for purposes of analyzing and optimizing our Services and ads, providing content and ads that are more relevant, measuring statistics and the success of ad campaigns, and detecting and reporting fraud. To the extent this practice is interpreted to constitute a “sale” under the CCPA, please see “To Exercise Your Right to Opt-Out of Personal Information Sales” section below.
Information Sharing
As described in the “With whom do we share your personal information?” section of the privacy policy, we share personal information within FormFactor and with a variety of third parties for business purposes. We share the personal information we obtain as follows:
- Affiliates: we may share personal information with our corporate affiliates, parent(s), or subsidiaries.
- Service Providers: many of our service providers are located in the United States. 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
Please contact us if you would like to obtain more information about the third parties with whom we may share personal information.

How to Exercise Your California Privacy Rights
To Exercise Your Right to Know or Right to Deletion
To exercise your right to know and/or right to deletion, please submit a request to privacy@formfactor.com or by calling 800-919-6776. In compliance with CCPA we will require certain identifying information from you to verify your request. We will make our best efforts to respond to your valid request within 45 days from the receipt. We will need to verify your identity in order to respond to your request, which may involve confirming your California residency and/or reviewing your government identification. If you do not verify your identity, we cannot respond to your request. In some instances, we may be required to continue to retain or share portions of your personal data to comply with regulatory or legal obligations.
Although we try to limit the personal information collected in connection with a request to exercise the right to know and/or the right to deletion to that personal information, certain requests may require us to obtain additional personal information from you. In certain circumstances, we may decline a request to exercise the right to know and/or right to deletion, particularly where we are unable to verify your identity.
To Exercise Your Right to Opt Out of Personal Information “Sales”
We do not “sell” personal information as most people think of that term. To the extent our third-party advertising partners collection of information from our website visitors constitute a “sale” under the CCPA, please see our privacy policy for more information about the choices and opt-out options you may have in relation to those practices.
Minors Under Age 16
We do not sell the personal information of consumers we know to be less than 16 years of age, unless we receive affirmative authorization (the “Right to Opt-In”) from either the minor who is between 13 and 16 years of age, or the parent or guardian of a minor less than 13 years of age.
