Privacy Statement


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.


Use of Data


A user may choose to provide personal information in the following examples:

::  Order collateral or spec sheets

::  Contact us for further information
::  Enter online surveys or online Quizzes

If you would like to find out more about the different categories of information collected, please review the data collection section.

Information attained by the site is used only for the intended purpose stated at the time that the information is collected. This data is not shared with other entities for secondary or unrelated purposes, or shared with a third party, unless otherwise disclosed at the point of collection. If there is an instance where such information may be shared, the visitor will be asked for permission beforehand.

Paragon Wireless makes every practical effort to avoid excessive or irrelevant collection of data. If a visitor believes the site has collected excessive information, we encourage the visitor to contact us at

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.


Security


Paragon Wireless has implemented generally accepted standards of technology and operational security in order to protect personally identifiable information from loss, misuse, alteration or destruction. All Paragon Wireless employees follow a firm wide security policy. Only authorized Paragon Wireless personnel are provided access to personally identifiable information and these employees have agreed to ensure confidentiality of this information.
