By visiting our Sites or using any of our services, you agree that your

What Information Do We Collect About You and Why?
We collect information directly from you, including personal information
(collectively, “information” unless necessary to distinguish between personal
information and other information). Such as when you visit our Sites,
request information from us, contact us, request to become an authorized
reseller (where applicable) and participate in our promotions. The type
of information that we collect about you depends upon your particular
interaction with us, but may include your name, email address, mailing
address, phone number, and any other information that you choose to submit
to us.
We also collect information about your use of our
Sites
through cookies, Google Analytics and other tracking software (please see our section below

Sharing Your Information
We may share your information with the persons/entities below for the
following purposes. We will not share your personal information with non-affiliated

- Our Subsidiaries, Affiliates, and Parent Company. If you are seeking
information from one of our subsidiaries (e.g.,
MHL, LLC,
HDMI, LLC,

WiSA, LLC)
then we will share your contact information and information about your

Any information that you submit through one of our Sites also may be shared
among Silicon Image affiliates, and they may use your information to market
their products and services to you.

We share the information that
we collect about you with our third party marketing vendors. These vendors
may assist us in our marketing efforts, but they do not use your personal
information to market their own products and services to you. They may
use your aggregate information as discussed below.
- Service Providers.
We may disclose the information we collect from
you to third party vendors, service providers, contractors or agents who
perform functions on our behalf. For example, these providers may help
us administer our Sites.
- Social Networking Sites.
From time to time certain of our Sites
may run promotions or contests, as permitted by applicable law. If you
enter one of our promotions, we may post a list of the winners through
our pages on various social networking sites. If you “like” us, we may
post an icon on your Facebook page, which your friends will be able to
view. Results of our promotions also may be viewable by your friends.
We also may share your information for the following reasons:
- Business Transfers.
If we are acquired by or merged with another
company, if substantially all of our assets are transferred to another
company, or as part of a bankruptcy proceeding, we may transfer the information
we have collected from you to the acquiring company.
- In Response to Legal Process.
We also may disclose the information
we collect from you to comply with the law, a judicial proceeding, court
order or other legal process, such as in response to a subpoena.

We also may disclose the information
we collect from you where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent
or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations
involving potential threats to the safety of any person or violations
of our Terms of Use or this Policy.
Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies
We use cookies, web beacons (including clear GIFs), Flash LSOs, and similar
technologies to track user activity and collect Site data. We may combine
this data with the personal information we have collected from you.
Cookies.
Cookies allow a web server to transfer data to a computer
for recordkeeping and other purposes. We use “cookies” on our Sites to,
among other things, better serve you with tailored information and facilitate
your ongoing access to and use of the Sites. There are two types of cookies:
session-based and persistent cookies. Using cookies, we collect your IP
address, browser type, domain name, referring URL, referring website,
page views, and your downloads.
- Session Cookies.
Session cookies exist only during an online session.
They disappear from your computer when you close your browser or turn
off your computer. We use session cookies to allow our systems to uniquely
identify you during a session or while you are logged in to the
Sites.
- Persistent cookies.
Persistent cookies remain on your computer
after you have closed your browser or turned off your computer. We use
persistent cookies to track aggregate and statistical information about
your activity, which we may combine with other information about you.
- Third Party Cookies.
We use third parties, such as Google analytics,
to track and analyze movement throughout our Sites.
Disabling Cookies.
Most web browsers automatically accept cookies,
but if you prefer you can edit your browser options to block them in future.
The Help portion of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to
prevent your computer from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser
notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether.
Visitors to our Sites who disable their web browsers’ ability to accept
cookies will be able to browse the Sites.
Do Not Track. Simplay Labs does not respond to Do Not Track signals.
Local Storage Objects
We may use Flash Local Storage Objects (“Flash LSOs”) to store your Site
preferences, to personalize your visit or to display content based upon
what you view on our Sites. Flash LSOs are different from browser cookies
because of the amount and type of data stored. In addition, you cannot
control, delete or disable the acceptance of Flash LSOs through your browser.
For more information on Flash LSOs, or to learn how to manage your settings
for Flash cookies, go to the Adobe Flash Player Help Page, choose “Global
Storage Settings Panel” and follow the instructions. To see the Flash
LSOs currently on your computer, choose “Website Storage Settings Panel”
and follow the instructions to review and, if you choose, to delete any
specific Flash LSO.
Web Beacons, Pixel Tags and Other Technologies
We use web beacons, such as clear GIFs, web bugs or pixel tags, which
are tiny graphics with a unique identifier similar in function to cookies.
In contrast to cookies, which are stored on your computer’s hard drive,
clear GIFs are embedded invisibly on web pages. We may use clear GIFs
in connection with our Sites to, among other things, track the activities
of website visitors, help us manage content, and compile statistics about
website usage. We and our third party service providers also use clear
GIFs in HTML e-mails to our customers, to help us track e-mail response
rates, measure the success of our marketing campaigns, identify when our
e-mails are viewed and track whether our e-mails are forwarded.
Third-Party Links
At times, our Sites may contain links to third party websites. Any access
to and use of such linked websites is not governed by this Policy, but,
instead, is governed by the privacy policies of those third party websites,
and we are not responsible for the information practices of such third
party websites.
User Generated Content
Certain of our Sites contain blogs and forums. Any information that you
post to the blog or forum, including, for example, blog posts, comments
to blog posts, pictures, and any other information, becomes public information
and will be viewable by any other visitor to our Sites. We cannot prevent
such information from being used in a manner that may violate this Policy,
the law, or your personal privacy.
How Secure Is Information About Me?
We have implemented commercially reasonable precautions, including, where
appropriate, password protection, encryption, and SSL to protect our Sites
and the information we collect from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access,
disclosure, alteration, and destruction. Please be aware that despite
our best efforts, no data security measures can guarantee 100% security
all of the time.
You should take steps to protect against unauthorized access to your password,
computer, and web-enabled devices, among other things, by signing off
after using a shared computer, inserting a password on your web-enabled
device, choosing a password that nobody else knows or can easily guess,
and keeping your password private. You should never share your log-in
information with others. We are not responsible for any lost, stolen or
compromised passwords, or for any activity on your account via unauthorized
password activity.
Can I Access and Modify My Personal Information?
If you submitted your information on our Sites,
you may update your information
by emailing webmaster@siliconimage.com. Please note that copies of information
that you have updated, modified or deleted may continue to reside in our
systems for a period of time.
What Choices Do I Have?
From time to time, we may send you emails offering products and services
that we believe might be of interest to you. If, at any time, you would
like to stop receiving these emails, please follow the opt-out instructions
contained in any such e-mail. Please note that it may take up to 10 business
days for us to process opt-out requests, and that your opt-out pertains
only to the receipt of marketing and advertising promotions and not for
issues related to your service.
Terms of Use
Your use of our Sites, and any dispute over privacy, is subject to this
Policy and our Terms of Use including applicable limitations on damages
and the resolution of disputes.
(Terms of Use)
Consent to Transfer Information to the United States
If you are located outside of the United States, please note that information
we collect will be transferred to and processed in the United States.
By using our Sites and services, you consent to the transfer and processing
of your information in the United States, which does not have data protection
laws that provide the same level of protection that exists in countries
in the European Economic Area. Your consent is voluntary. If, however,
you do not consent, then we may not be able to provide you with our Services.
Children Under 13
Our Site is not designed for persons under 13.
Changes to this Policy
We may change this Policy from time to time, so be sure to check back
periodically. We will post any changes to our policy to our Sites. If
we make any changes to this Policy that materially affect our practices
with regard to the personal information we have previously collected from
you, we will endeavor to provide you with notice in advance of such change,
by highlighting the change on the Sites or by sending an email to you
at the email address that you have registered with us.
