The data we collect

When you visit the Sirius Imaging LLC website (www.SiriusImaging.com) or www.CCDWare.com you have the opportunity to download a trial of our commercial software products, or one of our free software applications. If you purchase one of our software products your name and email address will be used as part of a unique license key that we will create for you. We are the ‘Controller’ of any personal data you provide to us. In this process, we only collect basic personal data about you that includes some or all of your name, organization, email address, IP address, contact history, order history, information selection choices, and product usage information. It also includes information you provide to us (whether requested by us or not) in emails, posts to our forums, on the telephone, in voicemails and in computer chats. Also, we reserve the right to keep a record of sign-ins if we implement a web-based user account system.

When you purchase a product, we provide you with a product license or other authorization mechanism to access to the purchased product. We maintain this information to prevent fraud and authorize access to the products you purchased as well as support services associated with your level of purchase. Our commercial software products may transmit an encrypted portion of a product's license key and a unique computer signature, but no personal information. This is a necessary business requirement to help ensure license keys are not being abused

If you choose not to not purchase one of our software products we will not have collected any of your personal data, but you will still be able to use any information provided by our website that does not require registration or a product purchase.
