Aqua Control’s Commitment to Your Privacy
Aqua Control respects your privacy. Aqua Control provides this Privacy Policy so you know about Aqua Control’s online information practices and understand how Aqua Control treats the information we receive about you from your use of this web site (the “Site”). By using, browsing and/or accessing this Site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. Use of this Site is strictly voluntary. If you do not agree to the Privacy Policy and Web Site Terms and Conditions of Use, you must immediately log off the Site and may not use the Site.
The Information Aqua Control Collects
In general, you can browse this Site without telling Aqua Control who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself. Aqua Control is, however, able to determine your IP address. Aqua Control uses your IP address to, among other things, (1) help diagnose problems with Aqua Control’s server; administer the Site; measure the use of the Site; improve the content of the Site; (2) to identify visitors’ domain names, the type of web browsers used, the pages viewed, the websites from which a visitor found this Site, the search terms and search engines used to find this Site; and (3) to gather other web information relating to visitors’ use and navigation of the Site.
There are a few places where Aqua Control gives you an opportunity to provide Aqua Control your personal information. This refers to information that lets Aqua Control know the specifics of who you are, and may include, without limitation, your first and last name, mailing address, email address, telephone and facsimile numbers, credit card number, and other personal identifying information. When you engage in certain activities on the Site, such as ordering a product or service, entering a contest or sweepstakes, filling out a survey, sending Aqua Control feedback, requesting owners and parts manuals, or registering your product online, Aqua Control may ask you to provide personal information. If you choose to share any personal information with Aqua Control, you will see that the amount and type of personal information Aqua Control requests depends on how you use the Site. It is completely optional for you to engage in these activities. Depending upon the activity, some of the information Aqua Control asks you to provide is identified as mandatory and some is voluntary. If you do not provide the mandatory data with respect to a particular activity, you will not be able to engage in that activity.
Additionally, the Site employs the use of cookies in certain areas. Cookies are small bits of information stored on your browser. Cookies enable browsers to “remember” information related to a specific user, and also improve navigational reliability within a given site. The use of cookies allows Aqua Control to recognize you every time you visit and to personalize the Site to better suit your needs. If you are uncomfortable with storing cookies on your browser, you may set your browser specifically to reject cookies.

Aqua Control may share this information with Aqua Control’s affiliates, dealers or other business partners in connection with any of the foregoing activities. Aqua Control’s affiliates, dealers or other business partners may use this information for marketing and solicitation purposes. Aqua Control must release your credit card information to credit card authorization service providers and the credit card-issuing bank to confirm payment for products or services purchased on this Site and to facilitate returns or refunds.
