ThePoolPlanner.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit thepoolplanner.com, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information We Collect
Information you provide. If you use our contact form, we receive the name, email address, and message you submit. We use this only to respond to you. The values you enter in our pool cost calculator (pool size, type, state) are processed in your browser and are not stored by us.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we and our service providers collect standard technical data: IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and referring URLs. This is gathered through cookies and similar technologies for analytics and site functionality.
Advertising and Cookies
We display advertising served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info.
Affiliate Links
Some links on this site are affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a commission from the retailer or manufacturer. This does not affect the price you pay. Affiliate partners may place cookies on your browser to track referrals; those cookies are governed by each partner’s own privacy policy.
Current affiliate partners include the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. For a full explanation of how we use affiliate links and how we choose what to recommend, see our Affiliate Disclosure.
Analytics

Your Choices and Rights
You can control cookies through your browser settings, opt out of personalized ads using the links above, and request access to or deletion of any personal information you’ve submitted to us by contacting us. Depending on where you live (including the EU/EEA and California), you may have additional rights under applicable privacy law, including the right to know what personal information we hold about you and to request its deletion.
