ON Semiconductor
Information Technology
24
out of 100. Number 471 of 512, counting from the worst.
Where ON Semiconductor does well
- Arbitration 0 of 20. Nothing found.
- Renewals 0 of 20. Nothing found.
- Data retention 3 of 15. Few problems found.
- No forced arbitration or class-action waiver anywhere in the website Terms — disputes go to real courts in Arizona, which is friendlier than most tech terms.
- The privacy policy flatly states 'We do not sell your Personal Data for money' and promises opt-in consent before using any technology that could count as a 'sale.' Marketing also requires opt-in ('You will need to opt-in to receive marketing messages').
- They are Data Privacy Framework certified (EU-U.S./UK/Swiss) and commit to free JAMS dispute resolution for data complaints, with a right to lodge complaints with EU data protection authorities.
- Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale carve out whistleblower protections and preserve a buyer's right to report securities fraud to government agencies.

They do not sell your data for cash, but they share tracking data with ad networks in ways the law can classify as a 'sale' — they promise to get your opt-in consent before doing it.
We do not sell your Personal Data for money but we and our business partners use tracking technologies to help us to understand our customers and visitors to the Services, to enhance your online experience, and customize our offerings in ways that may be deemed a 'sale' of personal information under the applicable law. This includes working with third parties such as ad networks that collect personal information via tracking technologies to personalize advertisements on and off our Services and to provide us with data collection, reporting, and ad response measurement. We will obtain your prior written consent (opt-in) prior to using any technologies on the Services that could be considered a 'sale' of personal data.

Your data can be handed to ad-tech vendors, and third parties can place their own cookies on the site that play by those third parties' own privacy rules, not onsemi's.

To the extent permitted by applicable laws, these third parties may view, set, or edit their own tracking technologies/cookies that are deployed when you visit our Services.

How these were found
Documents actually read via browser_open on 2026-10-01: (1) Terms of Use at https://www.onsemi.com/terms-of-use (full text fetched; no 'last updated' date visible in the fetched content). (2) Global Privacy Policy read via the official mobile mirror https://m.onsemi.com/privacy (same content as desktop; desktop URL presumed https://www.onsemi.com/privacy but was not opened directly). Some search snippets from official onsemi.com PDFs (e.g., 2026 Standard Terms and Conditions of Sale) informed scoring of unilateral price changes. The privacy policy's 'Data Retention' section is referenced in the text but its content was not visible in the fetched portion, so retention could not be fully scored. onsemi is a B2B chipmaker; there is no consumer subscription product, so auto-renew/cancellation traps are not applicable. No forced arbitration clause was found in the website Terms.
