Information we collect
- Information you enter: the choices you make in the cost calculator (pool type, size, features, region, and similar). These are used only to compute your estimate and are processed in your browser.
- Usage data: standard technical information your browser sends automatically, such as IP address, device and browser type, pages viewed, and referring page. This helps us understand traffic and keep the site working.
- Cookies and similar technologies: small files used for site functionality, analytics, and advertising (see below).
Advertising and Google AdSense
This site is supported by advertising. We use Google AdSense to display ads. In doing so:
- 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 this site and/or other sites on the internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info.
Advertising partners may collect data as described in their own privacy policies, including how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Analytics
We may use privacy-respecting analytics to measure aggregate traffic (for example, how many people use the calculator). This data is used in aggregate and is not used to personally identify you.
Server logs
Our hosting provider keeps standard server logs (such as IP address, browser type, and pages requested) for security, troubleshooting, and reliability. These are retained for a limited period and are not used to identify you personally.
How we use information
- To provide and improve the cost calculator and content.
- To display and measure advertising that keeps the site free.
- To monitor site performance, security, and reliability.
What we do not do
We do not require an account, and we do not sell your name, phone number, or email to contractors or lead-generation networks. Estimates are informational and are not quotes.
