This page summarizes the privacy policy and practices on 3WAN web site.

• 3WAN collects basic personal information when you fill out the form to download a demo. This information is used to contact the user about the services on our site for which they have expressed interest or to reply to a query. Such personal information is stored on 3WAN computers and is accessed by authorized personnel only.

• The 3WAN web site does not automatically gather any specific personal information from you, such as your name, phone number or e-mail address. We only obtain this type of information if you supply it by sending us an e-mail or completing an electronic 'Form'.

• If you choose to provide 3WAN with personal information in an e-mail or by filling out and submitting an electronic form, 3WAN will use that information only to respond to your message and to assist us to provide you the requested information or service.

• E-mail messages are subject to the Privacy Act. The personal information that you share with 3WAN is provided only to those areas that are required to carry out the business that relates to you. All e-mail messages sent or received are the property of 3WAN and may be accessed by any 3WAN employee without further consent of the author.

• All personal information held or collected by 3WAN is protected under the federal and provincial Privacy Acts.

• Information on individual visitors is used by 3WAN employees who need to know the information in order to respond to your request or to ensure the security of this system. We do not use the information to create individually identifiable profiles, nor do we disclose this information to anyone outside of 3WAN.

• Even if you do nothing more during your visit than browse through the web site, read pages, or download information, please be aware that 3WAN automatically gathers and stores certain information about your visit. This information does not identify you personally. 3WAN collects and stores only the following information about your visit:

• 3WAN employs software programs to monitor network traffic to identify unauthorized attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage. This software receives and records the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the computer that has contacted our web site, the date and time of the visit and the pages visited. We make no attempt to link these addresses with the identity of individuals visiting our site unless an attempt to damage the site has been detected.
