Internet Privacy Policy
The Privacy Policy below (the “Policy”) is applicable to the Cover-Pools Websites (as defined in the Terms and Conditions of Use) and to Cover-Pools Incorporated, a Utah corporation (“Cover-Pools”), in general. Your privacy on the Internet is important to us. We have created this Policy in order to demonstrate our firm commitment to your privacy. As part of the operations of Cover-Pools, we gather certain types of information about Cover-Pools Websites’ users. This Cover-Pools Policy explains the types of information we gather, what we do with it and how you may correct or change information that Cover-Pools may collect. USE OF THE COVER-POOLS WEBSITES SIGNIFIES YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND AGREEMENT TO COMPLY WITH THE ENTIRE PRIVACY POLICY.
Information Collected by Cover-Pools
Cover-Pools collects two types of information about users: personal information (such as name, home address, phone number and email addresses) and aggregate information (such as information about how many users log on to our website on a daily basis).
Personal Information: Personal information is collected when users voluntarily provide feedback, request a dealer or ask questions through the Cover-Pools Websites. Personal information includes names and email addresses and any other user data that may be collected. We may also receive email addresses from users who send us support mail or request technical or other help. This information enables Cover-Pools to improve the Cover-Pools Websites to make your online visits more productive and enjoyable.
Aggregate Information: One method of collecting aggregate information about your activities online is by tracking Internet Protocol addresses (“IP Address”). An IP Address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you surf the World Wide Web. The computers that deliver web pages to you automatically identify your computer by its IP Address. When you request a page from the Cover-Pools Websites, our servers log your IP Address. The Cover-Pools Websites may record IP Addresses for the purpose of system administration and to track the volume of use on our website. We may also use your IP Address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our website. In addition, your IP address may be used to help identify you and to gather broad demographic information.
Sharing Data with Third Parties
Cover-Pools may share personal information with consultants and affiliates for internal business purposes. Cover-Pools may also divulge personal information if such information is subpoenaed, or if Cover-Pools believes that the Cover-Pools Websites have been used to commit unlawful acts, or acts that may endanger the health or safety of another user or of the general public. Cover-Pools does not sell, transfer or disclose personal information to third parties without your permission. Customers and website users that submit their personal information for the purpose of seeking a pool professional in their area have given Cover-Pools the authority to disclose this information to a third party for the purposes and/or services sought. Communication to or from the Cover-Pools Websites should not be considered confidential.
Cover-Pools reserves the right to use or disclose any information as needed to satisfy any law, regulation or legal request, to protect the integrity of the site, to fulfill your requests, or to cooperate in any law enforcement investigation or an investigation on a matter of public safety.
