Privacy Policy

Silicon Showcase⁠™ helps engineering teams explore SoC technologies, discover IP and design tools, and find service providers and manufacturing partners across the SoC lifecycle. We collect information you submit through the platform and limited first-party operational data needed to run it.

Depending on how you use Silicon Showcase⁠™, this may include:

• Contact messages: name, email address, optional subject, and message.
• Solution submissions: organization and solution details, optional official URLs, and submitter professional information such as name, corporate email, job title, and optional LinkedIn URL. A solution may be IP, finished silicon, a tool, a service, or a manufacturing offering. Optional URLs may include a product page, datasheet or documentation, a distributor or purchasing page, an evaluation kit, or a webinar or demo.
• Correction reports: name, email address, listing type, optional listing identifier, optional organization association, message, and optional supporting URL.
• Newsletter: the email address you provide if you subscribe.

Administrators who sign in to manage the platform have a session cookie, described below.

Silicon Showcase⁠™ does not operate consumer accounts or a parts catalog, and it does not process product purchases or event-registration payments. We do not collect payment information.

We use the information described above to:

• operate and maintain the discovery platform
• review solution submissions
• respond to contact inquiries
• review listing corrections
• send newsletter updates if the newsletter form is available and you have subscribed
• maintain platform security and reduce automated abuse
• communicate about editorial or operational matters related to a submission or request

We do not use this information to build advertising profiles.

Organization representatives may submit information through Submit a Solution, including organization details, solution descriptions, supporting URLs, and professional contact information. The form asks for public or authorized information. It is not a place for confidential designs or NDA materials.

Submitted information is used for editorial review and operational communication with the submitter. Submitting information does not guarantee that a listing will be published.

Silicon Showcase⁠™ uses first-party, privacy-conscious analytics to understand how the public catalog is used. We do not use Google Analytics, advertising pixels, browser fingerprinting, or cookie-dependent advertising analytics.

Events may include page views, searches, filters, and result clicks; solution, provider, area, and application views; official-source clicks; event-card impressions and event-detail views; event registration clicks; add-to-calendar interactions; supplier and distributor clicks; commerce CTA clicks; resource and datasheet clicks; webinar registration and on-demand webinar clicks; promotion impressions, promotion clicks, and promotion call-to-action clicks; solution comparison; and submission and correction activity. A promotion impression is recorded only after at least half of the placement has been visible for about a second, and a repeat view of the same campaign and placement in one session is not counted again. Each event stores an event name, timestamp, anonymous session identifier, page path, optional entity type and ID, a referrer category, and limited metadata. That metadata may include a result count, whether a search had a query or an area filter, a short sanitized search term from catalog or event search, a filter name, a campaign identifier, a comparison category and count, or the promotion type and placement at the time of the interaction.

Analytics events do not store contact, submission, or correction form values, authentication data, full destination URLs with query parameters, payment information, names, email addresses, or IP addresses. The anonymous session identifier is kept in session storage and expires after 30 minutes without activity. It is not an advertising cookie. A promotion impression key may also be stored in session storage for that browser session. Admin routes, bots, and preview traffic are excluded. Public pages are still recorded when an administrator is signed in. Analytics events are retained for 400 days and then deleted.

Information you submit through contact, solution submission, correction, and newsletter forms is stored as operational records so we can review and respond. Those records are not visitor analytics. Public visitors do not create accounts on Silicon Showcase⁠™.

You can browse Silicon Showcase⁠™ without creating an account. We do not use marketing or advertising cookies. Visitor analytics uses a temporary session-storage identifier, not an advertising cookie.

Administrators who sign in to manage the platform receive a secure, HTTP-only session cookie so they remain signed in. That cookie is used only for authenticated administrative access.

We do not sell personal data.

Information submitted through Silicon Showcase⁠™ is used to operate the platform as described in this policy. We do not sell it to advertisers.

Analytics events are retained for 400 days. Contact messages, solution submissions, correction reports, and newsletter addresses are retained for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the platform, review submissions, maintain records, and address legal or operational requirements. The platform does not publish a separate deletion period for those operational records.

Silicon Showcase⁠™ listings often link to official sources and other third-party sites, including purchasing, distributor, provider-contact, and event-registration pages. Those destinations have their own privacy practices. Silicon Showcase⁠™ does not control them and is not responsible for their content or how they handle information. A provider sales inquiry follows the provider’s official path. It is not collected by this contact form.
