Verigy Ltd., together with its subsidiaries (also referred to in this document as "Verigy"), provides this Privacy Statement to make you aware of our privacy practices and our commitment to strong and meaningful privacy protection for personal information we may collect, whether collected online or otherwise.

Verigy is committed to respecting as well as protecting your privacy. An integral part of this commitment, Verigy self-certifies its privacy practices as part of the U.S. Department of Commerce Safe Harbor Program. Verigy also participates in the Council of Better Business Bureau's Safe Harbor Privacy Dispute Resolution program.

Throughout this Privacy Statement, covered information refers to information that is associated with an individual person that can potentially be used to uniquely identify, contact or locate that person, excluding publicly available business contact information. Examples of covered information include an individual’s government identifier (such as a social security or tax ID number), personal cell phone number, and personal address. If you share your covered information with us, you can be assured that it will only be used for legitimate recruitment and legal compliance purposes.

Verigy's privacy statement covers 7 main areas: Notice, Choice, Onward Transfer, Access and Accuracy, Security, Compliance/Enforcement and How Verigy Uses Cookies. These areas are described in detail below. Please keep in mind that our privacy practices may vary as required by local laws and policies.

Comments or questions about our privacy practices can be sent to: Privacy.Officer@verigy.com.

As part of our recruitment process, this Web site enables us to collect necessary covered information about you to consider you for employment with Verigy.

During the course of the recruitment process, we may request further information about you to assess your suitability for positions with Verigy. In doing so, we only collect covered information that is necessary for recruitment decisions.

Verigy uses the covered information for the primary purpose of considering your suitability for positions with us. Only that information which is relevant to the purpose of assessing your suitability is collected and used.

We will not collect or use covered information about you in ways other than as described in this statement unless we have obtained your consent or as may be required to comply with applicable law. In some cases we may specifically request a consent form to be signed. In other cases consent may be implied (for instance, you give us information after being fully advised of how it will be used). From time to time, we may also use your personal information to contact you about future employment opportunities at Verigy. We will always give you the opportunity to opt-out of receiving such contact. If you would like to read more about how to opt-out, please follow the directions given below in the "Choice" section of this privacy statement. In addition, we will also follow local requirements where applicable.

Verigy does not sell or lease your covered information to others. We may share covered information among Verigy entities, unless restricted by law, regulation or contract. Where a third party is performing services for or on behalf of Verigy for the uses described above and sharing covered information is required for the third party to perform its services for Verigy, Verigy may share covered information with such third parties, unless restricted by law, regulation or contract. Where we disclose covered information to service providers outside of Verigy, we require that they maintain protections consistent with this policy.

Verigy will not use or share your covered information in ways unrelated to the ones described above without first notifying you and offering you a choice. We will also provide you the opportunity to let us know if you wish to opt-out of certain or all contact from Verigy. This choice may be offered at the bottom of our on-line or off-line communications to you as well as on many of our web registration pages. If you have any difficulty exercising your choices, please send your request to Privacy.Officer@verigy.com.

Subject to your permission or as permitted by law, the covered information that you provide to us may be transferred to third parties or within Verigy across state or country borders. Where we transfer covered information to third parties or Verigy entities located in countries other than the country in which the covered information was collected, we require that they maintain protections consistent with this policy.

Covered information collected by Verigy may be transferred internationally to other Verigy entities world-wide, where it is necessary to meet the recruitment purposes. By selecting the “Confirm” button of this page and thereby submitting your covered information on Verigy’s Web site, you are providing explicit consent to trans-border transmission of such information in connection with the recruiting process.

Verigy strives to keep your covered information accurate, complete and relevant for the purposes for which it is to be used. Upon request, we will provide you with reasonable and appropriate access to your covered information collected by or on behalf of Verigy. Where appropriate, we will correct your covered information to the extent that it is inaccurate. To protect your privacy and security, we will also take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting you access or enabling you to make corrections.

To access your covered information, return to the point of collection or send your request to verigy_hr-operations@verigy.com. We strive to respond to access requests within a reasonable timeframe.

Verigy is committed to ensuring the security of your covered information. To prevent loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction, and to maintain data accuracy and ensure the appropriate use of covered information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure it.

A cookie is a piece of information either stored temporarily in your browser's memory space (session cookie) or placed on your computer's hard drive (stored cookie). Cookies allow a web application to respond to you as an individual, but without the need to identify you explicitly. Session cookies are destroyed when you terminate your browsing session by shutting down your browser. Stored cookies often have a predetermined expiration date after which they disappear from your hard drive. Cookies can be removed explicitly through functionality built into most web browsers.

Cookie Usage
On occasion Verigy may use cookies to help us analyze web traffic or to improve your web navigation experience. To facilitate the analysis, an ID is assigned to help us uniquely identify you each time you return to our web site. One of the major concerns about stored cookies is the fear that they contain covered information and information identifying you that could be accessed by other web sites. Verigy only stores a randomly chosen unique ID number and a context, both of which are meaningless to others, but help us uniquely identify you.

Cookies help us provide a better web experience by letting us monitor what's working and what isn't through site traffic analysis. Verigy wants to be sure you understand that accepting a cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any covered information about you, other than the data you chose to share with us. While acknowledging the concerns that some visitors have about cookie usage, we believe that the benefit our webpage visitors gain from the use of cookies is worthwhile.
