We receive and may store any information you enter on our website or give to our website in any other way.

This information may include personal information such as:

This information may include any other personal or preference information you provide to us.

Financial Information
We only request financial information, such as credit card numbers, financial references, credit references, credit information, and similar information, from you if you wish to purchase products or services through our website, or if you are applying to become a Wireless Zone franchisee.

Information from Other Sources
We may receive information about you from other sources. This may help improve the personalization of our service to you by providing better product recommendations or special offers that we think will interest you.

Automatic Information
We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with our website, such as your IP address or domain name. We use "cookies" like many other websites. Through "cookies" we obtain certain types of information when your web browser accesses our website. There are utilities designed to help you visit websites anonymously. Although we cannot provide you with a personalized experience or certain services at our website if we cannot recognize you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist.

What are "Cookies" and how do we use them?

Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your web browser. Your web browser stores the information on your hard drive and when you return to that website later, the cookie is transmitted back to the server that originally sent it to you. Cookies provide a way for a server to recall a previous request or previous registration, or to keep track of a transaction as it progresses, so that information does not have to be repeated. To be notified when you are about to receive a cookie, you can configure your browser to alert you when a website is attempting to send you a cookie and at that time you will have the option of refusing the cookie. You can check your hard drive for cookie files, on the “cookies.txt” file on your PC's hard drive; or under “magic cookies” on a Macintosh.

Links to and from other websites

Our website may offer links to other sites. Other sites may have their own policies regarding privacy. If you visit one of these sites, you may want to review the privacy policy on that site. In addition, you may have linked to our website through another site. In such cases the site you linked from may collect information from people who click on the banner or link. You may want to refer to the privacy policies on those sites to see how they collect and use this information.

Children

We recognize the particular importance of protecting privacy where children are involved. We are committed to protecting children's privacy on the Internet and we comply fully with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If a child has provided our website with personally identifiable information, we ask that a parent or guardian call 860-632-9494 extension 8271 or contact us by email and we will delete the information about the child from our files.

Our Commitment to Data Security

We have appropriate physical, electronic, and procedural security safeguards to protect and secure the information we collect.

In order to maintain the authenticity and confidentiality of the information you provide online to the Wireless Zone Group, including the Wireless Zone Group's online purchase order forms, the Wireless Zone Group utilizes secure server technology which uses a secure socket layer (SSL) protocol to secure a connection between your browser and the Wireless Zone Group's Web server. The SSL protocol protects the integrity of your correspondence with the Wireless Zone Group by providing three major security capabilities:

The information send between your browser and our Web server is encrypted so an unauthorized third party may not read the contents of the message.

While SSL is active, you can view the identity and owner of the Web server your browser is connected to by clicking on the closed padlock. This information is contained in a digital certificate issued by a public certificate authority and exchanged with your browser when the SSL connection is established.

SSL provides a mechanism which verifies that the data has not been tampered with between the time the sender sent it and the receiver received it.

There may be a slight change in the appearance of your browser when you enter the online purchase order forms. This change may vary depending on the type and version of the browser you use. While the SSL connection is active, you will see a note at the bottom of each page indicating a secure connection is active. You will also see a closed padlock at the lower left or right corner of your browser (depending on which browser you are using).
