Data
Collection
We collect only personally identifiable
information that is specifically and voluntarily
provided by visitors to Paragon Wireless’ web
site. Paragon Wireless receives limited
identifiable information, such as name, title,
company address, email address, and telephone and
fax numbers, from site visitors. Typically,
identifying information is collected to:
::
Register for certain areas
of the site
::
Inquire for further
information
::
Distribute
requested reference materials or
::
Submit resumes
Demographic information, including gender and
occupation, is not actively sought, but may be
submitted when a visitor responds to an online job
application. It is Paragon Wireless policy to
limit the information collected to only the
minimum information required to complete a
visitor's request. In any instance where
non-mandatory information is sought, the site
visitor will be notified of this at the point of
collection.
Visitors are also able to send email through the
site. Their messages will contain the user's
screen name and email address, as well as any
additional information the user may wish to
include in the message. Because we use the web
site as a communication tool, a visit to the site
may also result in the user sending a resume to an
individual within Paragon Wireless.
Paragon Wireless’ intention is not to seek any
sensitive information through our site unless
legally required for recruiting purposes.
Sensitive information includes a number of types
of data relating to: race or ethnic origin;
political opinions; religious or other similar
beliefs; trade union membership; physical or
mental health; sexual life or criminal record. We
suggest that you do not provide sensitive
information of this nature. If you do wish to
provide sensitive information for any reason,
Paragon Wireless accepts your explicit consent to
use that information in the ways described in this
privacy statement or as described at the point
where you choose to disclose this information.

Information attained by the site is used only for
the intended purpose stated at the time that the

Cookies and Log Files
Cookies may be used on some pages of our site.
"Cookies" are small text files placed on your hard
drive that assist us in providing a more
customized site experience. For example, a cookie
can be used to store registration information in
an area of the site so that a user does not need
to re-enter it on subsequent visits to that area.
It is Paragon Wireless’ policy to use cookies to
make navigation of our site easier for visitors
and to facilitate efficient registration
procedures.
If you are concerned about cookies, most browsers
permit individuals to decline cookies. In most
cases, a visitor may refuse a cookie and still
fully navigate our site.
In order to properly manage our site, we may
anonymously log information on our operational
systems, and identify categories of visitors by
items such as domains and browser types. These
statistics are reported in the aggregate to our
webmasters. This is to ensure that our site
presents the best web experience for visitors and
is an effective information resource.
Third Parties
It is Paragon Wireless’ policy only to disclose
information to third parties under the following
circumstances:
::
as required by law through
subpoena, search warrant or
other legal process
::
when explicitly requested
by a visitor (but only that visitor’s
information is disclosed)
::
when required to deliver
reference materials requested
by a visitor.
Paragon Wireless' site does not collect or compile
personally identifying information for
dissemination or sale to outside parties for
consumer marketing purposes, or host mailings on
behalf of third parties.
Third Party Links
There are several places throughout
parawireless.com that may link to other web sites
that do not operate under Paragon Wireless’
privacy practices. When you jump to other sites
via link from parawireless.com, Paragon Wireless’
privacy practices no longer apply. We encourage
visitors to review each site's privacy policy
before disclosing any personally identifiable
information.
Data Retention
Some of the information we receive is not
retained. For example, we usually do not keep
mailing addresses for white papers. Contact
information about visitors (such as information
generated through registration for access to areas
on the site) will be kept as long as the
information is required to completely service the
contact request or until a user requests that we
delete that information. Mailing list information,
discussion posts and email are kept for only the
period of time considered reasonable to facilitate
the visitor's requests. Resumes are disposed of
when they are either no longer under
consideration, or are considered dated by our
Human Resource departments.
Choices
As a policy, visitors are not required to register
to gain access to areas of the Paragon Wireless
site. However, to obtain access to our Partner
area, visitors will be required to setup a user-id
and password for authentication and secure access
to confidential or proprietary information or
services.
Personally
identifiable information provided to Paragon
Wireless through its site is provided voluntarily
by visitors. Should visitors subsequently choose
to unsubscribe from mailing lists or any
registrations, we will provide instructions, on
the appropriate site area or in communications to
our visitors; or a visitor may contact the
webmaster via
webmaster@us.parawireless.com.
Access to Collected Data
Each visitor has the right of access to personal
data they have submitted through Paragon Wireless’
web site.
Inquiries about the accuracy of identifying
information previously submitted to Paragon
Wireless through its site, or requests to have
outdated information removed/updated, should be
directed to:
webmaster@us.parawireless.com.
Paragon Wireless is committed to providing
reasonable and practical access to visitors to
allow them the opportunity to identify and correct
any inaccuracies. When requested and practical,
Paragon Wireless will delete identifying
information from current operational systems.
When personally identifiable information is
retained, Paragon Wireless assumes responsibility
for keeping an accurate record of the information
once a visitor has submitted and verified the
data. Paragon Wireless does not assume
responsibility for verifying the ongoing accuracy
of the content of personal information. When
practically possible, if Paragon Wireless is
informed that any personal data collected through
a site is no longer accurate, Paragon Wireless
will make appropriate corrections based on the
updated information provided by the authenticated
visitor.

access to personally identifiable information and
these employees have agreed to ensure
confidentiality of this information.
