5. Your US privacy rights

Depending on your state of residence, you may have rights over your personal information. We honor these rights in accordance with applicable state law.

California residents (CCPA/CPRA)

‍If you are a California resident, you have the right to:

• Know what categories of personal information we collect, use, and disclose.
• Request access to the specific personal information we hold about you.
• Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
• Request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal exceptions.
• Opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information as those terms are defined under California law.
• Not receive discriminatory treatment for exercising your rights.

We do not sell your personal information for monetary value. To the extent any data sharing for advertising qualifies as "sharing" under California law, you may opt out by contacting us at [semiwave@semiwave.com].

Other US states‍

Residents of certain other states, such as Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and others with comprehensive privacy laws, may have similar rights to access, correct, delete, and opt out of certain processing. Contact us at the address below to exercise any of these rights.

To submit a request, email us at [semiwave@semiwave.com]. We will verify your request and respond within the timeframe required by applicable law. You may also authorize an agent to make a request on your behalf.

6. Rights of candidates outside the US

Because we recruit for roles across global semiconductor hubs, we may process personal information of individuals located in Europe, the United Kingdom, India, and elsewhere. If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you may have additional rights under the GDPR and UK GDPR, including the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. Where we rely on a legal basis for processing under those laws, we generally rely on your consent, our legitimate interests in operating our recruitment business, or the performance of a contract.

7. International data transfers

We are based in the United States, and the information we collect is processed and stored in the US and potentially other countries where our service providers operate. If you are accessing the Site or sharing information from outside the US, please be aware that your information will be transferred to and processed in the US, where data protection laws may differ from those in your country. Where required, we put appropriate safeguards in place for such transfers, such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent mechanisms.

8. How long we keep your data

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including maintaining our talent network for future opportunities, meeting legal obligations, and resolving disputes. When information is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it. You can ask us to remove your information at any time, as described above.

9. Cookies

Our Site uses cookies and similar technologies to function correctly, understand how visitors use the Site, and improve your experience. You can control cookies through the Cookie Settings option in the footer and through your browser settings. For more detail, see our Cookie Policy.

10. Data security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we work to protect your information at all times.

11. Third party links

Our Site may contain links to external websites, including client career pages and job listings. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to review their policies.

12. Children's privacy

Our services are intended for professionals and are not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date above. Significant changes will be communicated where appropriate.
