1. Introduction
Wylum is a VPN service operated by EMC Management Solutions Inc., acting as an authorized agent of Massachusetts Local Telephone Company Inc. (MLTC), a licensed telecommunications provider.

Our VPN service and related software
Communications between you and Wylum (e.g., email, support forms)
This policy does not apply to third-party services you may access through the internet while connected to Wylum’s VPN.
2. What Information We Collect

We may temporarily log:
Total bandwidth usage (aggregate only, for server load balancing)

If you contact us by email or support form, we will store that message and your contact details to respond and maintain service quality.

These providers are selected for their security and privacy practices. They do not have access to your VPN traffic.
6. Legal Disclosure
We comply with legal requests only when:
Required by U.S. law through proper legal process (e.g., valid subpoena or court order)
The request is specific, legally binding, and complies with due process
Since we do not log VPN activity, we cannot provide what we do not have.

Wylum does not knowingly offer services to individuals under the age of 18. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible.

Encrypted communication (HTTPS, SSL/TLS for VPN tunnels)
Server hardening and firewall protection
Limited access to customer records (only by authorized personnel)
Regular audits of systems and policies
