1. Personal Information. “Personal Information” is information that identifies you as an individual or relates to an identifiable individual, such as your name, telephone number, mailing address, or email address.  We may need to collect and process these types of Personal Information in order to provide the requested Services to you, or because we are legally required to do so. If you do not provide the information that we request, we may not be able to provide you with the requested Services.

2. Collection of Personal Information. We and our service providers may collect Personal Information in a variety of ways, including:

  • Through the Services: We may collect Personal Information through the Services, e.g., when you sign up for a newsletter, download software, receive Immersion haptic effects on your mobile device, or make a purchase.
  • From Other Sources: We may receive your Personal Information from other sources, such as public databases, joint marketing partners, social media platforms (including from people with whom you are friends or otherwise connected) and from other third parties.

If you provide us with any Personal Information relating to other people, you are representing that you have the authority to do so and to permit us to use the information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

3. Use of Personal Information. Immersion uses Personal Information for its legitimate business interests, including the following:

  • To respond to your inquiries and fulfill your requests, complete your transactions, and provide you with related customer service;
  • To verify compliance with your agreements with us, log software licenses granted, track software downloaded from the Site, and track use of other Products;
  • To send administrative information to you, such as changes to our terms, conditions and policies, as well as marketing communications that we believe may be of interest;
  • For our business purposes, such as data analysis, audits, fraud monitoring and prevention, developing new products, enhancing, improving or modifying our Services, identifying usage trends, determining the effectiveness of our promotional campaigns, and operating and expanding our business activities.

4. Disclosure of Personal Information. Immersion may disclose Personal Information to its affiliated entities for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Immersion Corporation is the party responsible for the management of the jointly-used Personal Information. In addition, we may disclose Personal Information to third-party service providers that provide services on our behalf, such as website hosting, data analysis, payment processing, order fulfillment, information technology and related infrastructure provision, customer service, email delivery, auditing and other services.

5. Additional Uses and Disclosures of Personal Information. Immersion may use and disclose Personal Information as allowed or required by applicable law, including uses and disclosures that are necessary or advisable to: (a) protect the rights, safety, security or property of users of our Services, the public, or Immersion or others; and (b) conform to legal or regulatory requirements. In addition, Immersion may use, disclose or transfer your information to a third party in the event of any reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, assets or stock (including in connection with any bankruptcy or similar proceedings).

6. Product Analytic Data. Immersion may collect certain data when you use a Product (“Product Analytic Data”), including a Product incorporated into a third-party application, product or service (a “Third Party App”). Product Analytic Data may include your IP address, your country and language, information about your device (such as brand, model, operating system and component types), the Product used (such as name, version and settings of the Product), the Third-Party App running the Product, usage of the Product (such as which Product content was played, how much of the Product content was played, whether that Product content was downloaded/streamed or resided in the device, and whether the Product functionality was muted or at what volume it played), and the date and time that such information was gathered.  Immersion also may assign a number to identify your device, derived from one or more unique device identifiers.  This identification number is different from any built-in identification number for your device (such as your International Mobile Equipment Identity (“IMEI”)) and does not reveal to Immersion any such built-in identification number.

7. Other Information. “Other Information” is any information that does not reveal your specific identity or does not directly relate to an identifiable individual, such as demographic information and other information provided by or collected from you that does not reveal your specific identity, and information that has been aggregated in a manner that it no longer reveals your specific identity.  If we are required to treat Other Information as Personal Information under applicable law, we may use and disclose it for the purposes for which we use and disclose Personal Information as detailed in this Privacy Policy.  Otherwise, we may use and disclose Other Information for any purpose, except where we are required to do otherwise under applicable law. If we combine Other Information with Personal Information, we will treat the combined information as Personal Information as long as it is combined.

8. Other Information Collected Through the Site. We and our service providers may collect Other Information through our Site in a variety of ways, including:

  • Through your browser or device. Certain information is collected by most browsers or automatically through your device, such as your Media Access Control (MAC) address, computer type (Windows or Macintosh), screen resolution, operating system name and version, device manufacturer and model, language, and Internet browser type and version.

We do not currently respond to browser do-not-track signals. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, most browsers allow you to automatically decline cookies or be given the choice of declining or accepting a particular cookie (or cookies) from a particular website. You may also wish to refer to http://www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/index.html.  If, however, you do not accept cookies, you may experience some inconvenience in your use of the Site.

11. Reviewing and Correcting Your Personal Information.  If you would like to request to review, correct, update, suppress, restrict or delete Personal Information that you have previously provided to us, or if you would like to request to receive an electronic copy of your Personal Information for purposes of transmitting it to another company (to the extent this right to data portability is provided to you by applicable law), you may send a request to us by using the contact details in the “Contacting Us” section below.  We will respond to your request consistent with applicable law.

  • In your request, please make clear what Personal Information you would like to have changed, whether you would like to have your Personal Information suppressed from our database or otherwise let us know what limitations you would like to put on our use of your Personal Information. For your protection, we may only implement requests with respect to the Personal Information associated with the particular email address that you use to send us your request, and we may need to verify your identity before implementing your request.  We will try to comply with your request as soon as reasonably practicable.
  • Please note that we may need to retain certain information for recordkeeping purposes and/or to complete any transactions that you began prior to requesting a change or deletion (e.g., when you download our software, you may not be able to change or delete the Personal Information provided until after you cease using such software). There may also be residual information that will remain within our databases and other records, which will not be removed.

12. Marketing Communications. If you no longer want to receive marketing-related emails from us on a going-forward basis, you may opt-out by using the unsubscribe link contained in each such email.  We will try to comply with your request(s) as soon as reasonably practicable.  Please note that if you opt-out of receiving marketing-related emails from us, we may still send you important administrative messages, from which you cannot opt-out.

13. Retention Period. We will retain your Personal Information for as long as needed or permitted in light of the purpose(s) for which it was obtained.  The criteria used to determine our retention periods include: (i) the length of time we have an ongoing relationship with you; (ii) the length of time we provide the Services to you; (iii) whether there is a legal obligation to which we are subject; or (iv) whether retention is advisable in light of our legal position (such as in regard to applicable statutes of limitations, litigation or regulatory investigations).

14.

15. Sensitive Information. We ask that you not send us, and you not disclose, any sensitive Personal Information (e.g., social security numbers, information related to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or other beliefs, health, biometrics or genetic characteristics, criminal background) on or through the Site or otherwise to us.

16. Updates to this Privacy Policy. We may change this Privacy Policy.  The “LAST UPDATED” legend at the top of this Privacy Policy indicates when this Privacy Policy was last revised.  Any changes will become effective when we post the revised Privacy Policy on the Services.  Your use of the Services following these changes means that you accept the revised Privacy Policy.

TRADEMARK USAGE POLICY

Immersion, the Immersion logo and TouchSense are registered trademarks of Immersion Corporation in the United States and other countries. All other trademarks are the property of their respective owners. Please refer to the Trademark usage policy for further information on Immersion’s Trademarks and terms of use.

IMMERSION LOGO

Immersion   and  immersion hand icon

 

Immersion’s brands, marks, names, and logos are among the company’s most important and valuable corporate assets. Please refer to our list of Trademarks and Patent Markings.

This Immersion Trademark and Logo Usage Policy is applicable to Immersion Corporation, and all Immersion organizations worldwide (collectively, “Immersion”), and to Immersion resellers, developers, customers, advertising agencies, consultants, professional writers and editors, licensees and to third parties making reference to Immersion Trademarks.

The Immersion Trademark and Logo Usage Policy sets forth the authorized policies for using or referring to Immersion brands, trademarks, product and service names, logos and slogans.

IMMERSION’S TRADEMARK RIGHTS

As the owner of its trademarks, Immersion has the exclusive right to use its trademarks, as well as the right to stop others from using its trademarks improperly or without authorization.

Identification of Immersion products or services is the sole permissible use of Immersion trademarks and logos.  The following is a non-exhaustive list of impermissible uses of Immersion trademarks and logos:

  • No Immersion trademark or logo may be incorporated into or used as part of a third party’s own logo, company name, product logo or otherwise.
  • No Immersion trademark or logo may be used in any way that is likely to be confusing, misleading or deceptive as to the true identity or source of products, services, materials, courses or programs.
  • No mark that is misleadingly similar in design or appearance to any Immersion mark or infringes on Immersion trademark rights may be used.
  • No Immersion trademark or logo may be used in any manner that is likely to disparage, dilute or negatively affect Immersion’s reputation.
  • No Immersion trademark or logo may be used in a way that is likely to imply that the user, its products, or its services are endorsed by, sponsored or affiliated with Immersion, without written permission from Immersion.

Immersion will pursue its legal rights against those who engage in any of the aforementioned activities or any other activities that infringe on Immersion trademark rights.

PROPER USE OF TRADEMARKS AND SYMBOLS

You may refer to Immersion products and services by their associated Immersion trademarks and service marks, so long as such references (a) are truthful, fair, and not misleading, and (b) comply with this Policy.

  1. Use trademarks only as adjectives.  Because trademarks are adjectives rather than nouns or verbs, a trademark may not be used alone.  Always use a trademark as an adjective immediately preceding the noun applicable to the product.
    Correct: The mobile device is enhanced with TouchSense® technology.
    Incorrect: The mobile device is enhanced with TouchSense®.
  2. When referencing Immersion as a company, the Immersion name may be used as a proper noun.  An exception to the “use as an adjective only” rule exists where the reference to Immersion is a reference to the company.  The Immersion name may, in that instance, be used as a trade name; no trademark symbol is needed when referring to the company.
    Correct: Today, Immersion announced the release of a new product.
  3. Trademarks may not be used in the plural or the possessive. Because trademarks are not nouns, they must never be used in the plural.
    Correct: ActiveFORCE Reference Designs.
    Incorrect: ActiveFORCEs.
  4. Trademarks must not be used in the possessive.
    Correct: The TouchSense® product is an application …
    Incorrect: TouchSense®’s product …
  5. Immersion trademarks may not be shortened, abbreviated or made into acronyms.
    Correct: “TouchSense® Product.”
    Incorrect: “TS.” and “TchSne.”

PROPER TRADEMARK ATTRIBUTION

Include a trademark notice when referring to a trademark.  Place an appropriate trademark notice symbol (® or ™) adjacent to the first and most prominent reference to the trademark.  Do not add a space between the trademark name and the symbol.  The symbol should be in superscript or subscript. In the absence of those symbols, a parenthetical notation such as (TM) is acceptable.

Correct: Immersion TouchSense® Haptic Enabling Kit for Mobile OEMS

Incorrect: TouchSense Haptic Enabling Kit for Mobile OEMS

Use the appropriate trademark symbol.  When referring to Immersion trademarks, use the “™” or “®” symbol in accordance with the status of the particular Immersion product or service.  Refer to the webpage entitled “Immersion Trademarks” to determine the correct symbol for the particular trademark being used.

Use the trademark legend.  In addition to applying the appropriate symbol to the trademark being used, third parties must attribute all Immersion Trademarks in an appropriate trademark legend.  The legend may be printed in small print, however, it must be large enough to be legible.  Permissible locations to place the legend include but are not limited to, the end of a document, on the back of a package or on the bottom of a web page.

Use the following standard trademark legend in all material referencing any Immersion trademark:

“Immersion, [insert all other trademarks, product names, service names, program names, etc., that are referred to or displayed in the document] are trademarks or registered trademarks of Immersion Corporation in the United States and other countries.”

USE OF IMMERSION LOGOS

Immersion logos may only be shown independently.  A logo may not be used in the context of a written description.  Additionally, Immersion logos may only be used in accordance with the Immersion Corporate Style Guide available upon request from your Immersion representative, and as may be amended in Immersion’s sole discretion from time to time

THIRD PARTY USE OF IMMERSION TRADEMARKS

Business affiliates and alliance members of Immersion, licensees, and other third parties are limited to specific, approved uses of Immersion trademarks.  Third parties must use Immersion trademarks within the parameters outlined below. Unauthorized or improper use of Immersion trademarks may infringe on Immersion’s trademark rights.

  1. Immersion trademarks may not be used in third party company or product names without a written trademark license agreement.
  2. A licensed third party shall not use any other trademark or service mark in close proximity to any of the Immersion Trademarks or combine marks in either case so as to effectively create a unitary composite mark, without the prior written approval of Immersion; provided, however, nothing herein shall prevent such licensed third party from preparing and distributing marketing materials in which the Immersion Trademarks and the licensed third party’s marks appear on the same page or slide as discrete marks.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each use of Immersion’s Trademarks is subject to Immersion’s pre-approval, such approval to be withheld at its sole discretion.
  3. Prior to publication or release, written approval by Immersion must be received by all third parties of advertising and/or marketing collateral or other materials that use Immersion trademarks or logos.  Except as provided within this Policy, Immersion’s third party affiliates may not use any Immersion trademark as part of their own logo or company name or in third party advertising, product packaging, Web site or other promotional materials. As such, neither domain names nor metatags in third party Web sites may use or include Immersion trademarks or logos without Immersion’s advance written consent.Additionally, without Immersion’s advance written consent, third parties may not hyperlink or deeplink to Immersion Web pages, unless the third party provides clear and unmistakable notice that the end user is exiting that Web site and entering the Immersion Web site.  The sole circumstance under which deeplinking is permissible is when a need for information on Immersion products, programs, services or technologies exists on the third party Web site.
  4. Proper references to Immersion products by third parties are permissible. To refer to Immersion products and services, third parties may use Immersion trademarks but only if used properly: Use the trademarks as adjectives and accompany the trademarks with the appropriate trademark symbol and legend.  For further guidance, please refer to Section 2 of this policy entitled “Proper Use of Trademarks and Symbols.”

THIRD PARTY USE OF IMMERSION LOGOS

Immersion logos may be used only when licensed from Immersion Corporation.  If a company or individual has a valid written license agreement in effect with Immersion, that company or individual must use the logo in accordance with the specifications described in the license agreement.  Those guidelines are license-specific, and will not be addressed in this general policy.  In the event that the terms of an individual license and this policy conflict, the terms of the individual license shall govern.  A logo licensee whose license does not describe limitations on use of the logo should follow the guidelines found in Section 2.

DISCLAIMER

No information contained in this Immersion Trademark and Logo Usage Policy is intended to serve as legal advice.  If you have questions regarding your legal rights or duties, please consult your own attorney.

Immersion reserves the right to change this policy at any time, without notice.
