Aggregated Data. We may aggregate Personal Data in a manner such that the end-product does not personally identify you or any other user of the Site, for example, by using information to calculate the percentage of our users
who have a particular telephone area code. Such aggregate information may also be used for any purpose.
-
Cookies. To enhance the Internet experience on the Site, WESCOMM GROUP and our service providers may use 'cookies' on the Site. Cookies are data that a web server transfers to an individual's computer for recordkeeping and
other purposes. We use cookies and other technologies to facilitate users' ongoing access to and use of our Site. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most
browsers that allows you to automatically decline cookies, or to be given the choice of declining or accepting the transfer of a particular cookie, or cookies from a particular web site, to your computer.
If cookies are disabled, however, all features of the Site may not operate as intended. Information about disabling cookies can be found on your Internet browser provider's web site. The Site may have a Cookie Policy that
applies to its use of cookies and other similar tracking technologies. If it does, then the Cookie Policy will apply in addition to this Privacy Policy.
-
Tools. We and our service providers may also use various common Internet tools such as 'pixel tags,' 'action tags,' 'web beacons,' '.gif tags,' 'JavaScript' or similar technologies (together, "Tools")
in connection with Site pages and email messages in certain formats to, among other things, track the actions of Site users and email recipients, to determine the success of marketing campaigns and to compile statistics about
Site usage and response rates. Tools allow us to count users who have visited certain pages of the Site, to deliver services, and to help determine the effectiveness of promotional or advertising campaigns. When used in email
messages in certain formats, Tools can tell the sender whether and when the email has been opened.
WESCOMM GROUP uses cookies and Tools to understand how the Site is used and to customize and enhance the Internet experience of
individual users. When you revisit the Site, WESCOMM GROUP may recognize you by a Tool and customize your experience. For example, once you have completed the registration process, a cookie and/or Tool will be used to
avoid having you register again. We believe cookies and Tools add value to the user experience. We do not respond to browser do-not-track signals at this time.

regarding the use of other websites, apps and online resources. Verification. We may use third-party services to verify that you are a human user. Any information collected as part of such verification is subject to the privacy
policy of the third-party service provider.
-
IP Addresses. When you visit and interact with the Site, we and our third-party service providers may collect Internet Protocol (IP) addresses. Your IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to the computer that you are
using by your Internet Service Provider (ISP). This number is identified and logged automatically in our server log files whenever you visit the Site, along with the time(s) of your visit(s) and the page(s) that you visited.
We use IP addresses to understand how the Site is used by our users, to improve the Site and to enhance user experience of the Site. We may also derive your approximate location from your IP address.

in this Privacy Policy.

the devices you use, such as a mobile phone and a laptop.

security of any account you might
have with us has been compromised), please notify us of the problem immediately by contacting us using the information provided below in "Contact Information for WESCOMM GROUP" (note that
if you choose to notify us via physical mail,
this will delay the time it takes for us to respond to the problem).

WESCOMM GROUP will use Personal Data only in ways that are compatible with the purposes for which it was collected, authorized by this Privacy Policy, or authorized by you. WESCOMM GROUP will take
reasonable steps to ensure that Personal Data is relevant to its intended use, and is accurate, complete, and current (as provided by you). WESCOMM GROUP depends on you to update or correct your
