Information collected, processed, or transmitted

The dialer components collect information from your computer such as your user name, password, domain name, and phone number. This information is sent to the system that you are attempting to connect with. To help protect your privacy and the security of your computer, security-related information such as your user name and password are encrypted and stored on your computer.

The Connection Manager Administration Kit (CMAK) is a server component that allows administrators to collect information from users on a network. The information that is collected is determined by the administrator. For more information, contact your system or network administrator.

Use of information

Dialer information is used to help your computer connect to the Internet. For CMAK, the information that is collected is used to create connection profiles, which help administrators deploy and manage connections across a network.

For non-command-line dialers, you can choose to save your password. However, this option is turned off by default, so you may be prompted to provide your password to connect to the Internet or a network. For command-line dialers like Rasdial, there is no option to save your password.
