1. Overview & Scope
Pures Pool is committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and security of all personal data provided by clients across Canada and internationally. This Privacy Policy applies to personal information gathered through direct purchases, technical support queries, customer accounts, and interactions across our digital commerce channels.
By interacting with our platform or purchasing pool sanitation systems and pool accessories, you acknowledge the terms established in this policy alongside our Terms of Use.
2. Data We Collect
We collect information directly from you when you place an order, create an account, request dosage calculations, or communicate with our specialists:
- Contact and Identity Information: Full name, residential or commercial delivery address, contact telephone number, and email address.
- Order and Transaction Details: Selected pool filtration systems, sanitizers, heating components, order numbers, transaction dates, and chosen shipping carriers (Canada Post, FedEx, DHL).
- Technical Pool Specifications: Pool volume, chlorination preferences, filter types, and sanitation parameters provided to determine equipment compatibility.
- Technical Identifiers: IP addresses, browser types, operating systems, and session timestamps gathered via standard server logs.
Payment card numbers are transmitted securely and encrypted directly through PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant payment gateways. Pures Pool never stores full credit card details or CVV codes on our own infrastructure.
3. How We Use Data
Your data is processed strictly for legitimate commercial and operational purposes, including:
Order Fulfillment & Logistics
Processing transactions, verifying warehouse dispatch, calculating localized courier delivery rates, and communicating order tracking identifiers.
Technical Product Support
Providing tailored chemical dosage recommendations, replacement part matching, and processing manufacturer warranty verifications.
We do not sell, rent, or lease customer contact lists or personal profiles to third-party marketing companies under any circumstances.
4. Cookies & Tracking Technologies
We employ minimal, essential cookies and browser storage technologies strictly required to operate our online catalog:
- Session & Cart State: Cookies that maintain your active shopping cart items, selected items list, and localized delivery selections while navigating product pages.
- Security & Fraud Prevention: Non-intrusive tokens that protect checkout interactions from automated bot submissions and CSRF threats.
- Interface Preferences: Local tokens that store high-contrast settings and previously verified compatibility guidelines.

6. Storage & Security
We apply robust administrative, physical, and technological countermeasures to safeguard personal records. All data transfers across our web store are encrypted using modern Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3).
Order and invoice records are retained only for the duration mandated by taxation, warranty compliance, and commercial recordkeeping statutes, after which they are systematically anonymized or securely purged.
