Additional information
How we protect your data
Even computers that don’t appear to have any valuable information can be attractive targets for attacks. Compromised computers and other devices can be used as a foothold allowing attackers to spread through the network. We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data from loss, misuse, alteration, or destruction. Such measures include anonymizing or pseudonymizing data where possible. Authorized Wang personnel and third parties mentioned above will only have access to your personal data to the extent they need it to do their job or provide their services. Despite these precautions, however, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized persons will not obtain access to your information.
