Aqueous Solutions LLC privacy policy

This website is owned and operated by Aqueous Solutions LLC (or "Aqueous"). Assuring your privacy is a primary concern.

Information Aqueous gathers and tracks

Aqueous gathers two types of information about users:

  • Information that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions. These are voluntary submissions to license paid or free software from our online store, participate in our forum, or to file a request for a quote, training, demo, online order, or software feature. We use the email address you submit to contact you by email
  • Information Aqueous gathers through aggregated tracking information derived mainly by tallying page views throughout our sites. Under no circumstances does Aqueous divulge any tracking information about an individual user to a third party

Aqueous gathers user information in the following free services that require some type of voluntary submission of personal information by users:

  • Our site allows users to electronically license paid or free software, or to submit a request for a quote, training, demo, online order, or software feature. In this case, the user submits his name and email address and other information, as appropriate. The information is used to fulfill or respond to the user's request
  • Users of the site's forum register separately for this service (which is free of charge) in order to post messages, although they need not register to visit the site. During registration the user is required to supply a username, password, and email address
