Last updated: July 23, 2026

Wi-LAN Inc. (“Wi-LAN,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information collected through this website.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how it may be used or disclosed, and the choices available to you.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide when you:

  • Contact us through a website form;

  • Send us an email;

  • Request information about Wi-LAN or its services; or

  • Otherwise communicate with us.

This information may include your name, email address, telephone number, company name, job title, and the contents of your message.

Please do not submit confidential or sensitive personal information through general website forms or by email unless specifically requested.

2. Information Collected Automatically

When you visit this website, certain technical information may be collected automatically, including:

  • Your IP address;

  • Browser and device type;

  • Operating system;

  • Referring website;

  • Pages viewed and links selected;

  • The date and time of your visit; and

  • General website usage and diagnostic information.

This information may be collected through server logs, cookies, analytics services, and similar technologies. We use it to operate the website, maintain its security, understand how visitors use it, and improve its performance and content.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small files stored on your device when you visit a website. We may use cookies and similar technologies for purposes such as:

  • Enabling essential website functionality;

  • Remembering your preferences;

  • Maintaining website security;

  • Measuring website traffic and performance; and

  • Understanding how visitors interact with the website.

We use CookieYes to display our cookie notice and manage visitor consent preferences. Where required, non-essential cookies will not be activated unless you provide consent.

You can accept, reject, or customize non-essential cookies through the cookie consent widget. You may also change your preferences later by reopening the cookie settings available on the website.

You can control cookies through your browser settings as well. Disabling certain cookies may affect how some parts of the website function.

The cookie widget may provide additional information about the specific cookies currently used, including their providers, purposes, categories, and durations.

4. How We Use Personal Information

We may use personal information to:

  • Respond to questions, requests, or other communications;

  • Provide information you have requested;

  • Operate, maintain, and improve the website;

  • Monitor website performance and diagnose technical problems;

  • Protect the website and our systems against misuse, fraud, or security threats;

  • Maintain appropriate business and communication records; and

  • Comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

We will not use personal information for materially different purposes without obtaining consent where required by law.

5. Consent and Your Choices

When you voluntarily provide personal information, you consent to its collection, use, and disclosure for the purposes described at the time of collection and in this Privacy Policy.

You may withdraw your consent, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice. Withdrawing consent may prevent us from providing certain information or services.

You can manage your cookie consent choices through the CookieYes widget.

6. Disclosure of Information

We may disclose personal information to third-party service providers that assist us with services such as:

  • Website hosting and maintenance;

  • Website security;

  • Analytics and performance monitoring;

  • Cookie consent management;

  • Email delivery and communications; and

  • Other technical or professional services.

These providers are permitted to use personal information only as necessary to provide their services or as otherwise permitted by law.

We may also disclose information where required to comply with a law, court order, regulatory request, or legal process; to protect our legal rights; or to investigate suspected fraud, misuse, or security incidents.

We do not sell personal information collected through this website.

7. International Processing and Storage

Wi-LAN maintains offices in Canada and the United States. Personal information may be processed or stored in Canada, the United States, or other countries where our service providers operate.

Information processed outside your province, state, or country may be subject to the laws of that jurisdiction and may be accessible to courts, law-enforcement agencies, or regulatory authorities in accordance with local law.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, meet our legal and business obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Retention periods may vary depending on the nature of the information and the reason it was collected. Information that is no longer required will be securely deleted, destroyed, or anonymized where appropriate.

9. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or misuse.

No internet transmission or electronic storage system is completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted through this website or by email.

10. Third-Party Websites and Embedded Content

This website may contain links to third-party websites or content embedded from third-party services, such as videos, maps, or social media platforms.

These third parties may collect information or use cookies in accordance with their own privacy policies. Wi-LAN does not control and is not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites and services. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information.

11. Accessing or Correcting Your Information

Subject to applicable law, you may request:

  • Access to personal information we hold about you;

  • Correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;

  • Withdrawal of consent;

  • Deletion of information where applicable; or

  • Additional information about how your personal information is handled.

We may need to verify your identity before responding. Certain information may be retained or withheld where permitted or required by law.

12. Children’s Privacy

This website is not directed toward children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the website. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can take appropriate action.
