You may withdraw your consent at any time, as permitted by applicable law, by contacting us at privacy@amkor.com.

How We Share Personal Information

We may share your personal information with our corporate group of companies, business partners that provide services or support our operations, and public or regulatory authorities. We share personal information only for the purposes described in this notice. When we share personal information, we take appropriate measures to help ensure it is protected and handled in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

Some of the parties with whom we share personal information may be located outside the country where you live. When personal information is transferred to another country, we implement appropriate safeguards to help ensure it remains adequately protected. These safeguards include lawful transfer mechanisms recognized under applicable data protection laws, such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), adequacy decisions, and consent. If you would like more information about these safeguards or to request a copy of the relevant documentation, you may contact us at privacy@amkor.com.

How We Protect Personal Information

We implement appropriate administrative, technical, and physical controls to protect your personal information from unauthorized access and disclosure, and accidental loss, modification, and destruction. These measures include data governance policies, data encryption, and access controls that protect our facilities, systems, and data. We also provide our employees with regular security training and require our service providers to meet our security standards.

When handling sensitive personal information, we take additional precautions to protect it, such as enforcing role-based access controls, requiring multi-factor authentication, and maintaining activity logs to help detect and respond to potential threats.

How Long We Keep Personal Information

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this notice.  When personal information is no longer needed for these purposes, or if there is no longer a valid legal basis for its retention, we will securely and permanently delete it or, where appropriate, anonymize it so that it cannot be used to identify an individual.

In accordance with our data retention policy, when determining whether to keep personal information for our legitimate interests, we consider factors such as the nature and sensitivity of the data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for processing, and whether those purposes can be achieved through other means.

For successful candidates, we retain personal information for the duration of their employment and for up to seven years thereafter. For unsuccessful candidates, we retain personal information for up to three years.
