Privacy Statement
Proximity Wireless, Inc. (“Proximity Wireless”) respects the
privacy and security of its users. Our goal is to provide you with a
personalized Internet experience that provides you with information, resources,
and services that are helpful to you. To achieve this goal, it is necessary that
we collect and retain that information, which is necessary to provide services
to our registered users.
In order to demonstrate our commitment to your privacy, we have prepared this
statement disclosing the privacy practices for the entire Proximity Wireless
site. Additional terms and conditions, if any, regarding the collection and use
of your information may also be provided to you before you sign up for a
particular service. Here, you will learn what personally identifiable
information that might be collected, how and when Proximity Wireless may use
such information, how we protect your information, who has access to your
information, and how you can correct any inaccuracies in the information
retained by Proximity Wireless.
What Information is Collected:
Proximity Wireless collects certain information from and about its users in
three ways -- directly from the user, from our Web server logs, and with
cookies.
User-Supplied Information: When you sign up for a service provided by
Proximity Wireless, we may ask you for your name, e-mail address, and other
personal information that is required for the requested service. While most of
this information is required to use the services provided by Proximity Wireless,
it is provided by you on a voluntary basis. The more accurate information you
volunteer, the better we are able to customize your Proximity Wireless
experience.
Server Log Information: When you visit an Internet Web site, you disclose
certain information about yourself, such as your Internet [Protocol] (IP)
address, the time of your visit, and the referring location (e.g., the site or
page that offered a link to an Proximity Wireless page). Proximity Wireless,
like many other sites, records this basic information about visitors to its
site.
Cookies: In order to offer and provide a customized, personal service,
Proximity Wireless may use cookies to store and help track your information. For
example, we may use cookies to help remind us who you are and to deliver content
and services based on your account information.
Cookies are simply pieces of information that are sent to your browser from a
Web server and stored on your computer's hard drive. The use of cookies is
relatively standard and you will likely find them used on most other major Web
sites. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. If you prefer, you
can reset your browser either to notify you when you receive a cookie, or to
refuse to accept cookies. You should understand that certain areas of many sites
may not function properly if you set your browser to not accept cookies or if
you reject a cookie.
You should remember that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal information
online that your information can be collected and used by others. Although
Proximity Wireless tries to protect your personal information, Proximity
Wireless cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit
to us, and you do so at your own risk. You are also solely responsible for
maintaining the secrecy of any passwords you set up and/or any account
information.
How and When Information is Used:
We use information in different ways, depending on the type of information:
User-supplied information: This information is used for purposes such as
personalization and verification.
Web Server Logs: Proximity Wireless collects the Internet [Protocol] (IP)
addresses of its visitors for the purposes of system administration and to
report aggregate information about site traffic.
Cookies: We use "cookies" to let you use our services more easily and to
let us keep track of certain statistical information that helps us improve our
site. Cookies allow us to save passwords and preferences for you so that you
won't have to re-enter them the next time you visit.
How We Protect Your Information:
The privacy and protection of your personal information is vitally important to
us. Proximity Wireless does not make personal information available to any third
parties without your permission. Any user statistics that we may provide to
prospective partners regarding your usage of our services are provided in the
aggregate only and do not include any personally identifiable information about
any individual user.
Your access to the Proximity Wireless service and some content is password
protected. We recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone.
Proximity Wireless will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone
call or in an unsolicited email. You should not disclose your user name and
password to others. In addition, if applicable, you should remember to sign out
of your Proximity Wireless account or service at the end of each session. You
may also wish to close your browser window when you have finished your work.
This is to ensure that others cannot access your personal information and
correspondence if you share a computer with someone else or are using a computer
in a public place like a library or Internet cafe.
Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be
100% secure. Accordingly, despite our efforts to protect your personal
information, Proximity Wireless cannot ensure or warrant the security of any
information you transmit to us, or to or from our online products or services.
You transmit all such information at your own risk. However, once we receive
your transmission, we make all reasonable efforts to ensure its security on our
systems.
Who Has Access to the Information:
Except as described below, Proximity Wireless will not willfully disclose any
individually identifiable information about its users to any third party without
first receiving that user's permission. Proximity Wireless may disclose personal
information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it or to protect
the rights or property of Proximity Wireless.
When you are at the Proximity Wireless site and asked for personal information,
you share that information with Proximity Wireless alone, unless the service is
offered in conjunction with another party. In order to provide such co-branded
services to you, it is necessary for us to share your personal information with
the company offering the co-branded service. If you do not want your data to be
shared, you can choose not to allow the transfer of data by not using that
particular service. If you choose to share your data with a provider of a
co-branded service, you should understand that those providers may have separate
privacy and data collection practices. Proximity Wireless has no control over
and accepts no liability for these independent practices. Each provider should
provide more information regarding its privacy and/or use policies.
How to Correct Inaccuracies:
If you use certain Proximity Wireless services, we may send you a confirmation
e-mail confirming your new account and/or service. The message will be sent to
the address that you supplied us and will describe ways for you to change or
delete the account information provided. Remember to keep the confirmation
e-mail as it will also contain information that will help you in case you run
into problems accessing our services.
Advertising:
Proximity Wireless may from time to time notify you of upcoming products or
services. Such transmissions will contain instructions regarding how to opt-out
of similar transmissions in the future. If you do not wish to receive similar
notices from Proximity Wireless simply follow the instructions to opt-out.
Amendments:
The services and/or products provide by Proximity Wireless are provided “as is”.
Proximity Wireless reserves the right to amend this policy in whole or in part
at anytime, with or without notice.

We welcome any questions that you might have. All questions should be sent to
