This Privacy Policy explains what information Pool Viva may collect, how we use it, when it may be shared with third parties, and the choices available to you.

This policy is intended for a general informational website and should be updated if Pool Viva adds new features, advertising platforms, analytics services, email marketing tools, forms, user accounts, or other technologies that collect or process personal information. For privacy best practices, see FTC data protection guidance.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Pool Viva and certain third-party services may use cookies, pixels, tags, scripts, or similar technologies. These may help us remember preferences, understand website navigation, measure traffic, improve performance, maintain security, and understand content or marketing effectiveness. Your browser may allow you to control or turn off certain cookies, although doing so may affect website functionality. Learn more from FTC Privacy and Security.

10. How We Protect Information

We take reasonable measures designed to protect information handled through the website against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. However, no website or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Our approach is to collect information that is reasonably needed, use appropriate security measures, and review our practices as the website develops. Additional recommendations are available in FTC data security guidance.

11. How Long We Keep Information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by applicable law.
