If you are located in the European Economic Area, this privacy notice is issued to you by Synopsys as the controller responsible for the processing of your personal data, and the following further information applies to you: 

What Categories of Data does Synopsys Collect? 

You may provide to us, or we may collect about you, contact information (name, address), employment and education history, membership in professional organizations, and location information such as country of residence and physical event attendance. Data that you do not provide to us directly is collected from publicly available sources such as professional networking websites. 

What is the Purpose of the Data Collection? 
We process this data to be able to evaluate your qualifications and match you with current or future job opportunities, to process your application, and to contact you.

What is the Legal Basis of the Data Processing?
We process your personal data based on legitimate interests (evaluating your qualifications and matching you with employment opportunities, processing your application, and contacting you). We may also use your data to comply with applicable regulatory obligations and to respond to lawful requests, court orders, and legal process. We consider your privacy interests in this regard and redact personal information to the largest extent practicable to avoid affecting your privacy rights.

What Are My Rights with Respect to My Personal Data? 
You can contact us to obtain copies of your personal data or information about its processing by us.

You can exercise these rights by contacting us at privacy@synopsys.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. You should understand that while pursuing a career opportunity with us is voluntary, it would not be possible to consider your application without processing some personal data about you.
