Personal information is sometimes also referred to as personal data, personally identifiable information, or other like terms that mean any information that directly or indirectly identifies you or is reasonably capable of being associated with you or, in certain jurisdictions, your household. This Privacy Policy applies to any and all of our information collection scenarios that refer to, or provide a link directing you to, this Privacy Policy, such as when you use our websites, products or services, conduct business with us, apply for a job, or otherwise interact with us (collectively the “Services”).
This Privacy Policy is supplemented by additional notices, such as our Supplemental Job Application Privacy Notice for candidates applying for a position with Qualcomm, Additional Disclosures for Individuals in the United States, additional China provisions (中国隐私附录), and any other supplemental notices that we currently are providing or will provide in the future regarding our products and services, which should be read together with this Privacy Policy. We may also provide privacy notices with respect to other information collection practices not within the scope of this Privacy Policy, in which case this Privacy Policy will not apply. For example, if you are a Qualcomm employee, separate privacy policies apply. Qualcomm employees may visit the company’s internal employee portal or contact their local human resources department to get a copy of the applicable employee privacy policy.

Additionally, this Privacy Policy does not apply to the extent we process information as a processor (or a comparable role such as a “service provider”) on behalf of our customers, including customers who purchase Services directly from us and customers who purchase the Services through one of our authorized business partners. Each of our customers controls what information about you they submit to, publish on, or generate in connection with the Services (“Customer Data”).

The vehicles are equipped with camera systems and location technologies. These systems record, process, and store videos and images from the vehicle’s surroundings associated with location and time. Anyone or any vehicles near one of the marked vehicles during operations could potentially be included in the imagery or videos, which means facial and body images and vehicle plate licenses could be recorded. In addition, we may also obtain pictures or videos from third-party sources, such as researchers, universities, other companies, or public sources. The personal information processed may consist of pictures and videos collected by the vehicle camera systems of car plates, pedestrians, cyclists, cars’ occupants, and any other individual in the vehicle’s surroundings. We may also collect GPS positioning of our vehicles and data entry time stamps. In the context of this data processing, images of pedestrians, cyclists, cars, occupants, and other individuals are analyzed, classified, and further processed as “items” in the framework of the real environmental and traffic conditions. For example, an individual could be classified as “a pedestrian at left side of lane,” or as “a cyclist passing the car from the right side.”

For example, when you park your car in certain garages of our campus, your vehicle license plate number and parking spot may be automatically recorded by the hanging ceiling sensors there and used for our smart parking product development to improve future parking experience. When you walk around our campus, your images may be captured by AI-enabled camera systems and IoT sensors, to test our technologies that may be used to detect crowds or suspicious malicious actors. Where required by law, we display notices and only deploy these devices in common areas of our private campuses and facilities.
- Third-Party Licensed Data: Some of our research and development projects, particularly those relating to artificial intelligence (AI) development, use data licensed by third-party dataset proprietors, which may include facial images, videos, audios and other voice recordings, texts, or other types of information that involves personal data.

You can view the locations of our offices here. We will take steps to ensure that your information receives appropriate safeguards in the jurisdictions in which we or our service providers process it, for example, by entering into appropriate safeguards to protect personal information, which will include entering into approved standard contractual clauses with the recipient (where required under applicable law). You can get a copy of the standard contractual clauses for the EEA by clicking here and for the UK here.
SECURITY
We use reasonable security measures to safeguard your information by taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation, and the nature, scope, context, and purposes of processing, as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of consumers. We also enter into agreements with service providers, contractors, and processors for processing your information. These parties have their own security standards for personal information protection. In light of the evolving risk environment, particularly the risks of security incidents on the Internet, we encourage you to be vigilant with your personal information and exercise caution.
YOUR RIGHTS
Depending on the laws in your jurisdiction, you may be entitled to exercise the following data subject rights, subject to applicable exceptions:

This right does not apply in certain circumstances, including where the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
- Right to Correct or Rectify: The right to correct or rectify inaccurate personal information we maintain about you, or to update and to complete any incomplete personal information that we hold about you.

- Limit the Use and Disclosure of Sensitive Personal Information: The right to limit our use and disclosure of sensitive personal information. However, because we only use your sensitive personal information for certain permitted purposes, we do not offer this right under applicable law, such as in California.
- Right to Withdraw Consent: Where you have consented to our processing of personal information for a specific purpose, the right to change your mind and withdraw consent at any time; such withdrawal applies going forward, and not to past processing. We may, however, have other legal grounds to continue to process the personal information for other purposes.

You may expressly prohibit your successors from exercising some of the rights listed above by submitting a written request to us as indicated below.

- Opt-Out Preference Signals: We honor opt-out preference signals. An opt-out preference signal is a signal that is sent by a platform, technology, or mechanism on your behalf that communicates your choice to opt-out of the sharing for targeted advertisements or sale of your personal information. You can learn more about implementing opt-out preference signals here or by exploring other developing technologies and services that offer this tool. We treat opt-out preference signals as valid requests to opt-out of the sale or sharing of your personal information under applicable privacy laws. We will not use, disclose, or retain this additional information for any purpose other than to facilitate the request. Please note that you can also opt-out of the sale or sharing of your personal information through other methods described in Instructions on How to Exercise Your Privacy Rights below.
- “Do Not Track” Requests: Some browsers have incorporated “Do Not Track” features. Most of these features, when turned on, send a signal or preference to the websites you visit indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret the do-not-track signal, we currently do not respond to the browser do-not-track signals. However, as noted above, we do honor opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control signals.
You may exercise your privacy rights by completing our web form here. Otherwise, you may email us at [email protected] for any questions. We may need to further verify your identity before honoring your privacy right request. In some instances, we will verify your identity by asking you to provide additional personal information related to your recent interactions with us. We will respond to your request within the deadline applicable in your jurisdiction, if any. In applicable jurisdictions, to opt-out of the “sale” of your personal information or “sharing” of your personal information for targeted advertising, you may also click on the Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information link at the bottom of the homepage.
If permitted or required by applicable law, you may exercise your privacy rights through an authorized agent. If we receive your request from an authorized agent, we may ask for evidence that you have provided such agent with the power of attorney or that the agent otherwise has valid written authority to submit requests to exercise rights on your behalf. If you are an authorized agent seeking to make a request, please complete our web form here.
Additionally, if you receive communications from us, depending on the law in your jurisdiction, you may also opt-in or opt-out of receiving promotional emails from us by following the instructions communicated to you.
