Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Pool Cost Planner handles basic website information, calculator inputs, analytics, cookies, and contact messages.
Information we collect
Pool Cost Planner may receive basic technical information such as pages visited, browser type, device type, approximate location inferred from IP address, referring pages, and timestamps through standard analytics tools.
Calculator inputs
Calculator and quote-comparison fields are processed in your browser without an account. Custom calculator events do not contain entered amounts, readings, quote details or results. They may identify the tool, units, shape or mode, successful calculation, validation error or related tool selected. Shared-volume links include the volume in the URL so another tool can load it; that URL may appear in browser history, hosting logs, referrals or page analytics. Do not put sensitive information in shared URLs. Other entered fields are not saved by these tools when you reload or leave the page.
Analytics
The site uses Google Analytics through the Google tag installed on the website. Google Analytics may process device, usage, referral, and approximate location information to help us understand traffic, identify technical issues, and improve calculator content.
Advertising
The site does not currently load Google AdSense advertising scripts. It may display advertising in the future. If advertising is added, partners may use cookies or similar technologies to measure ad performance or personalize ads under their own policies.
Cookies
Analytics tools may use cookies, device identifiers, or similar technologies. Future advertising tools may also use them. You can block or delete cookies through browser settings, although some measurement features may then be limited.
Service providers
Analytics, hosting, security, and email service providers may process limited information on our behalf. Their handling of information is governed by their own terms and privacy practices.
Contact email
If you email contact@poolcostplanner.com, we may keep your message and email address long enough to respond and maintain site quality records.
Children's privacy
Pool Cost Planner is intended for homeowners and general audiences. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Data retention
Analytics data and contact messages are retained only as long as reasonably useful for site operations, trend analysis, quality review, security, dispute handling, or legal compliance. Retention periods may differ by service provider and data type.
Your choices
You can manage cookies in your browser, use browser privacy controls, avoid sending personal information by email, or contact us with a privacy question. Browser and analytics opt-out tools may also be available from their providers.
Policy updates
We may update this policy when site features, analytics, advertising, or legal requirements change. The Last updated date on the page reflects the current version.
