Privacy

The SurfNetwork does not require personal logins and doesn't have a minimum session or timeout. We take privacy seriously and do not collect or store any personal information from the SurfNetwork service.

Note: We've designed the network to provide coverage in public spaces. It may not be available within buildings. As this is a free public service, the City does not offer support services for personal devices. If you are unable to connect to the network, please check your device security settings or ask your device provider.
