Chemtable Software Forum

I think I have been using AO for more than 10 years. It is has always been a fantastic tool (and free).

These days I am reminded of the saying ... 'if an application/product is free or low cost, then YOU ARE THE PRODUCT'.

So, I am asking:

(1) Aside from sending programs to Virus Totals, what telemetry (explicitly) if any is Chemtable collecting on my PC and network?

(2) If so, is the data collected being anonymized, and how?

(3) If so, is there any way for me to opt-out or disable telemetry?

(4) If so, where is a the privacy policy of policy documented?

Thank you, kindly!

Hello,

Thank you for your question and for being with us for so long — we truly appreciate it.

You can see exactly what data is sent on the last step of the program installation, as shown in the screenshot below. The mentioned StatParams.json is located at: %appdata%\ChemTable Software\Autorun Organizer.

On that same screen, you can disable the sending of this data if you wish (please note that in that case the program rating information will not be displayed).

The data sent is anonymized. You can find our privacy policy here: https://www.chemtable.com/license.htm.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
