Personal Data (“Sensitive Personal Data”) relating to you for specific purposes

providing any such data to Broadcom without relevant authorization, if
applicable.

Broadcom does provide certain multifactor authentication services to its
customers, whereby a key pair with a public and a private key is created. The
private key will remain on the device used by the end user and the public key
will be sent to Broadcom. If a customer chooses to enable end user biometrics
for authentication purposes , such biometric data will only be stored locally on
the end user’s device, for use by the end user to access the private key created
and retained on the end user’s device. Broadcom does not collect or have access
to data that would be considered “biometric” and the public key does not derive
or contain any biometric data. Broadcom only uses the public key to verify
customers’ end user’s access privileges. End users may remove the public key
through the product’s self-service console or it will be deleted once the
Customer’s contract with Broadcom is terminated.



Legal Basis of Processing
In order to collect, use and otherwise process your Personal Data for the above
listed commercial and business purposes, Broadcom may rely on the following
legal bases as appropriate and relevant in the specific context:

 * Broadcom’s legitimate interest in providing the Sites and making the Services
   available to you, provided Broadcom’s interest is not outweighed by the risk
   of harm to your rights and freedoms.
 * Your consent, where Broadcom has obtained your consent to process your
   Personal Data for certain activities. You may withdraw your consent at any
   time by using the contextual preference tools available in the communications
   or in the user interfaces of the products and services Broadcom provides to
   you. Absent those, please contact Broadcom as explained below. However,
   please note that your withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of
   any use of your Personal Data by Broadcom based on your consent prior to
   withdrawal.
 * To fulfill any contractual obligations, such as where you have purchased a
   product or service from Broadcom. For example, Broadcom may require your
   contact details in order to deliver your order if you have purchased a
   product from Broadcom.
 * For compliance with Broadcom’s legal obligations where applicable laws
   require Broadcom to process your Personal Data.



Legal Basis of Processing Of Personal Data For The Purposes Of Fraud Prevention
And Network and Information Security as part of Broadcom’s Services
Broadcom processes Personal Data for fraud prevention and network and
information security purposes when providing Services. Pursuant to applicable
privacy legislation, organizations have a recognized legitimate interest in
collecting and processing Personal Data to the extent necessary and
proportionate for preventing fraud and ensuring network and information
security. Network and information security means the ability of a network or of
an information system to resist events, attacks or unlawful or malicious actions
that could compromise the availability, authenticity, integrity and
confidentiality of stored or transmitted data, or the security of the related
services offered by, or accessible via those networks and systems.

As a provider of payment security services and cybersecurity technologies and
services, it is in Broadcom’s legitimate interests to collect and process
Personal Data to the extent necessary and proportionate for the purposes of
preventing fraudulent payment transactions (“Fraud”) and ensuring the security
of Broadcom’s customers’ payment transactions and information networks and
systems. This includes the development of payment transaction records and of
threat intelligence resources aimed at maintaining and improving on an ongoing
basis Broadcom’s ability to detect Fraud and the ability of networks and systems
to resist unlawful or malicious actions and other harmful events affecting
information networks and systems (“Cybersecurity Threats”)..

The Personal Data Broadcom processes for the prevention of Fraud includes, but
is not limited to:

 * Information related to electronic means of payment and related entitlements;
 * Information related to electronic payment transactions;
 * Contextual signals and indicators of suspected fraud;
 * Verification information to confirm or dispel suspected fraud; and
 * Evidence of suspected, detected and/or confirmed fraud.

The Personal Data Broadcom processes for network and information security
purposes include, without limitation, network traffic data related to
Cybersecurity Threats such as:

 * sender email addresses (e.g., of sources of SPAM);
 * recipient email addresses (e.g., of victims of targeted email cyberattacks);
 * reply-to email addresses (e.g., as configured by cybercriminals sending
   malicious email);
 * filenames and execution paths (e.g., of malicious or otherwise harmful
   executable files attached to emails);
 * URLs and associated page titles (e.g., of web pages broadcasting or hosting
   malicious or otherwise harmful contents); and/or
 * IP addresses (e.g., of web servers and connected devices involved in the
   generation, distribution, conveyance, hosting, caching or other storage of
   Cybersecurity Threats such as malicious or otherwise harmful contents).

Depending on the context in which such data is collected, it may contain
Personal Data concerning you or any other data subjects. In such cases Broadcom
will process the Personal Data concerned only to the extent necessary and
proportionate to the purposes of detecting, blocking, reporting and mitigating
the Fraud  or Cybersecurity Threat of concern to you, and to all organizations
relying on Broadcom’s products and services to secure their payment transactions
and information networks and systems. When processing Personal Data in this
context, Broadcom will only seek to identify data subjects:

 * to the extent that it is an inherent part of the Services Broadcom provides
   to its  customers  and is indispensable to the prevention of the Fraud and/or
   the remediation of the Cybersecurity Threat concerned, or
 * if and as required by law.

If you believe that your Personal Data was unduly collected or is unduly
processed by Broadcom for such purposes, please refer to the “Your Rights” and
“Contact Broadcom” sections below. Please be aware that if it is determined that
Personal Data concerning you is processed by Broadcom because it is critical for
the prevention of, or the detection, blocking or mitigation of Cybersecurity
Threats, then in certain cases the legitimate interest to pursue such processing
may be compelling enough to override access, objection, rectification or erasure
requests related to the data concerned

Automated Individual Decision-Making And Profiling
Where Broadcom processes payment transaction security or network traffic data
for the purpose of fraud prevention or network and information security,
automated decisions concerning particular payment transactions or cyber events
may be made. This could involve in particular assigning relative payment fraud
risk, respectively cybersecurity risk scores to ongoing or recent payment
transactions, information network activities or system behaviors. Such
automatically assigned risk scores may be leveraged by you, by Broadcom, by
Broadcom’s partners and by other customers to detect, block and mitigate the
detected Fraud or Cybersecurity Threat. They could therefore result in said
partners and customers blocking payment transactions they deem to be fraudulent,
halting network traffic coming from or going to suspected or known malicious
addresses. Such processing is not intended to produce any other effect than
protecting you, Broadcom, Broadcom’s partners and Broadcom’s other customers
from fraudulent payment transactions, respectively Cybersecurity Threats. Should
you consider that such automated processing is unduly affecting you in a
significant way, please contact directly the relevant data controller whose use
of Broadcom’s Services is impacting you. In case that data controller is
Broadcom, please refer to the “Your Privacy Rights” and “Contact Broadcom”
sections of this Notice to raise your concerns and to seek Broadcom’s help in
finding a satisfactory solution.

Processing Of Pseudonymous Data To Improve the Performance of Broadcom Hardware
Certain mobile devices equipped with a Broadcom GPS chip occasionally require
querying Broadcom's geolocation assistance server. At the user’s request when
launching a geolocation service on their device, the chip will transmit to
Broadcom over TCP/IP the device's then current broad city level location. In
response, the server will designate to the chip the then-relevant satellites to
connect to. This service reduces the time needed for the chip to achieve
accurate GPS location from about 15 minutes to less than 1 minute. Broadcom does
not manually access, inspect, disclose, retain, correlate or reuse any of the
data associated with this service. The logs related to this service only contain
the dynamic IP address from which the device connected to the service, and these
logs are purged on a rolling 24-hour basis. Broadcom is not in a position to
identify any individual end-user based on the information involved in this
service.

To Whom Does Broadcom Disclose Your Information And Why?
Broadcom may disclose Personal Data collected about you as follows:

governed by their own privacy notices. Broadcom recommends that you check the
privacy notices of every third party website you visit before providing any

Broadcom has implemented administrative, technical, physical, electronic, and

service providers to also comply with applicable data protection laws.

rights described below with respect to your Personal Data. To exercise your
rights, you may:

 * make use of the self-serve tools available in the products or services you
   are using; or
 * submit your privacy request via the Request Intake Form;

.

It is Broadcom’s legal obligation to validate any request Broadcom receives
before responding. The Request Intake Form linked above is specifically designed
to ensure reliable and auditable request validation. Therefore Broadcom will not
respond to requests that are not submitted and cannot be validated through this
channel. If it is impossible for you to use any of the methods listed above,
please contact the Privacy Office as indicated below to find a resolution.

Email and Marketing. In most instances, Broadcom gives you options with regard
to the Personal Data you provide, including choices with respect to marketing
materials. You may manage your receipt of marketing and non-transactional
communications by: (i) clicking on the “unsubscribe” link in marketing emails;
or (ii) checking certain boxes on Broadcom’s preference center which can also be
found on certain forms Broadcom uses to collect Personal Data.

Access. You may request information regarding Personal Data that Broadcom
collects and holds about you and the source(s) of that information. To access
your Personal Data, return to the product, service or web page where you
originally entered it and follow the instructions in your user interface or on
that web page. If you cannot access your information in this way, please submit
your request through the appropriate Request Intake Form indicated above.

Please note that copies of information that you have updated, modified or
deleted may remain viewable in cached and archived pages particularly of the
Site for a limited period of time. If you request a change to or deletion of
your Personal Data, Broadcom may still need to retain certain information for
record-keeping purposes, and/or to complete any transactions that you began
prior to requesting such change or deletion (e.g., when you make a purchase, you
may not be able to change or delete the Personal Data provided until after the
completion of such purchase). Some of your information may also remain within
Broadcom’s systems and other records where necessary for compliance with
applicable law.

You can request a copy of any Personal Data Broadcom holds about you, and of
which you don’t already have a copy. This service is usually free of charge,
although Broadcom has the right to charge a ‘reasonable fee’ in some
circumstances;

Rectification. You have the right to request that Broadcom rectifies any
inaccuracies in relation to the Personal Data Broadcom holds about you;


Erasure. In some circumstances, you have the right to request the erasure of
your Personal Data or object to the further processing of your information;


Restriction of Processing. In some circumstances, you have the right to require
Broadcom to restrict processing of your Personal Data;


Objection. You have the right to object to any direct marketing or to other
processing of your Personal Data based on Broadcom’s or on third parties’
legitimate interests, unless such interests are compelling enough to override
your objection;


Not to be discriminated against for exercising any of your other privacy
rights. You may exercise any of your rights in this section without Broadcom
discriminating against you in any way. Note however that you may be subject to
differentiated treatment if and to the extent that the exercise of your rights
materially impacts Broadcom’s ability to provide certain services to you (e.g.
if you request the deletion of your account information or access credentials,
Broadcom may no longer be able to grant you access to restricted areas of
Broadcom’s websites). Such differentiated treatment is objectively justified and
does not constitute discrimination.


Withdraw Consent. Where Broadcom relies on your consent, you may have the right
to withdraw consent to Broadcom processing your Personal Data. This will not
affect the processing already carried out with your consent;


Not to be subject to decisions based on automated processing. In some
circumstances, you have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on
automated processing, and to obtain the human review of any such decisions that
significantly affect you (please refer to the earlier section on automated
decision making); and


Complain. If you have a complaint, Broadcom would appreciate the chance to
address your concerns; please contact Broadcom using the options provided under
“Contact Broadcom”.  You may also lodge a complaint with the supervisory data
protection authority in the state where you live, work or where an alleged
