Announcement
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (“AMD”) has acquired Xilinx, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Xilinx”), and the entities are in the process of combining their operations.
AMD will continue collecting and processing personal information as set forth in the AMD Privacy Policy below. As a result of the acquisition, Xilinx will collect and process personal information as an AMD affiliate (including sharing personal information with AMD) subject to the AMD Privacy Policy. AMD and Xilinx’s privacy practices do not materially differ, and AMD and its affiliates (including Xilinx) will continue to honor your privacy as stated by Xilinx prior to the acquisition.
Until the combination of operations is complete, AMD and Xilinx each remain responsible for the processing of your personal information where the operations remain separate. For example, when you use the portions of the Xilinx website operated by Xilinx, Xilinx will remain the controller. When you are re-directed to an AMD website from the Xilinx website or when AMD directly collects personal information through the Xilinx website, AMD is the controller. You can find more information on the relevant entity below in the section labeled “Information for Individuals Located in the European Economic Area, UK, and Switzerland”.
Where consent is legally required for the processing of your personal information (e.g., in some countries for Xilinx to provide personal information to AMD for marketing purposes), we will inform you separately to obtain such consent.
Please read the AMD Privacy Policy below to familiarize yourself with AMD and Xilinx’s personal information processing activities. The AMD Privacy Policy will be updated over time to inform you about material changes in connection with AMD and Xilinx’s privacy practices, if any.

Disclosure of Information
We share personal information for our business and commercial purposes and as more specifically described below:
- We share personal information with employees, independent contractors, and service providers (such as IT service vendors, website hosting facilities, and email distribution, customer support, sales and training services) so they can perform a business, professional, or technical support function for you or AMD. They are permitted to use the personal information only to provide the services to you and us.
- We share personal information (including personal identifiers) with trusted third parties to help us respond to inquiries, provide products and services to you such as fulfilling and delivering orders, processing payments, performing social media functions, and administering drawings, contests, training, and events. In these situations, you are directing us to intentionally disclose personal information so we can provide our products and services and respond to your requests.
- We share any personal information among our affiliates for business and commercial purposes.
- We may provide personal identifiers (such as your name) and training, event, and program attendance and participation information (such as your AMD Arena Program progress) to your employer when you have registered to participate in an AMD training, event, or program in connection with your employment. Your employer’s privacy policies also apply when they receive the information.
- We will disclose personal identifiers (such as your name and email address) where you give us permission to disclose them for marketing and other purposes.
- We may disclose personal information about you to law enforcement, the courts, our advisors, and others who participate in the legal process, if necessary to do so by applicable law or based on our good faith belief that it is necessary to enforce or apply the Sites’ terms and conditions, to comply with applicable law, or to protect AMD, the users of the Sites, and others.
- In the event of a merger, acquisition, financing due diligence, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, sale of company assets, or transition of service to another business unit, we will provide relevant personal information to the persons and/or entities assuming control of such business unit, to our advisors, and as otherwise necessary to complete the transaction as permitted by law or contract.
We take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information about you that we share with a third party will be held securely by that party and only be used for the purposes for which it was provided to them.
Security and Quality
AMD will take reasonable steps to protect personal information. We use a variety of advanced security technologies and procedures to help protect personal information from unauthorized access, use, and disclosure. For example, when we transmit sensitive personal information over the internet, we use encryption. Please help us to keep your personal information secure by not using an obvious login name or password or giving your password to others. Although we make efforts to secure your personal information, we cannot guarantee the safety of any personal information you transmit to us online.
You can help AMD keep your personal information up-to-date by notifying AMD of any changes to your contact information, company name, or job title. On some Sites, you may update a profile page. You may also contact us at the address stated in the ‘Your Privacy Rights’ section of this Privacy Policy.
Retention
We will retain your personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting, and reporting requirements. We may retain your personal information for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you. At the end of our retention period, we will either securely delete or anonymize the personal information. We may retain copies in backups and archives consistent with applicable laws and regulations.
Cross-Border Data Transfers
Where necessary, we may need to transfer your personal information to another country to enable us to provide you with our products and services, for marketing purposes, and for customer relationship management purposes. These transfers can take place within the AMD group of affiliates and subsidiaries but also to selected third parties (as explained in the ‘Disclosure of Information’ section of this Privacy Policy). Not all countries have laws offering the same level of protection for personal information as those where you are located when your personal information is received by AMD. AMD will take reasonable steps to transfer personal information using measures consistent with the legal requirements applicable to the personal information. For example, AMD will safeguard personal information received from an individual located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) consistent with the European General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”) when the personal information is stored in the EEA and transferred outside the EEA.
Children
We do not knowingly collect, maintain, or use personal information from children, and no part of the Sites is directed to them. If you learn that your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, you may alert us at memberservices@amd-member.com. If we learn that we have collected any personal information from children, we will promptly take steps to delete it and terminate the child’s account, if any.
