Allied Telesis has created this statement in order to demonstrate our company's commitment to the privacy of our web site visitors. The following discloses the information gathering and dissemination practices for the Allied Telesis PartnerPortal web site http://partnerportal.alliedtelesis.com/.

At times we may request that you voluntarily supply us with personal information. Generally this information is requested when you register for an online service or when you provide information in connection with an online transaction.

When you order product online, you may automatically link to a third party business partner designated by Allied Telesis to process your order. Allied Telesis assumes no responsibility for, nor makes any representations with respect to any such online transactions. When you enter a contest or other promotional event, we may ask for your name, address, telephone number and e-mail address so we can administer the contest and notify winners. Contact information from the registration forms is used to send requested product information and promotional material to prospects. Sometimes the mailings are handled by a third party fulfillment house that requires access to the information on registration forms in order to send you requested materials. In addition, contact information is sometimes shared with our business partners who are designated by Allied Telesis to process a credit card order, deliver a product or to follow up with the prospective customer. If you do not wish to have this information used as a basis for further contact with you, we will respect your wishes.

PartnerPortal.alliedtelesis.com, its service providers, and all vendors providing products or services through our web site use your personal information: to operate our web site and/or process your transactions; and to create and share reports. Allied Telesis does not engage in the practice of selling or distributing contact information to other companies.

When you access your account information or place orders, we offer the use of a secure server. The secure server software (SSL) encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us to protect transmissions over the Internet.

Alliedtelesis.com contains links to other sites. Allied Telesis is not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of such web sites.
