5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website (if active) may use cookies, web beacons, or similar technologies to improve functionality, remember preferences, or gather analytics. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. We do not use tracking for targeted advertising across unaffiliated sites unless disclosed otherwise.

Website Analytics (Google Analytics) We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a web analytics service provided by Google, to help us understand how visitors interact with our website. This tool collects certain technical and usage information automatically when you visit our site, such as your IP address (which is anonymized where possible), browser type, device information, pages viewed, time spent on the site, and general location data at the city or regional level.

This data helps us analyze website traffic, improve the user experience (for example, by making it easier to request pool service quotes or find information about our Largo-area pool cleaning services), and better serve our customers in Pinellas County and surrounding communities. We do not use Google Analytics to collect your name, email address, phone number, or other directly identifying personal information unless you voluntarily submit it through a contact form or quote request.

The information collected by Google Analytics is shared with Google in accordance with its Privacy Policy (available at https://policies.google.com/privacy). We have configured Google Analytics with IP anonymization and other privacy-focused settings where available. We do not use the data for cross-site targeted advertising unless separately disclosed and consented to.

You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on (available for most browsers) or by managing your cookie preferences through your browser settings or our website’s cookie consent banner (if implemented). For more details on how we handle all personal information, please see the relevant sections of this Privacy Policy.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction, consistent with Florida law (including the Florida Information Protection Act). However, no security system is impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce agreements. Retention periods vary based on the type of data and applicable laws.

Does Aqua Glimmer Pool Services ever share customer information with anyone else, like other businesses or partners? If so, why and with whom?

Yes, as Aqua Glimmer Pool Services LLC in Largo, Florida, we do share limited customer information with certain third parties — but only when necessary to deliver our pool cleaning and maintenance services effectively, and never for marketing or selling your data.

    • Who: Specialized service management platforms we use for our operations.
  3. Service Providers or Subcontractors (Rarely)

    • Who: Only licensed, insured professionals we occasionally partner with, and only with your prior awareness when possible.
  4. Professional Advisors
    • Why: For normal business operations such as accounting, tax filing, or legal compliance.

Important Protections

How do you make sure your customers' personal information is kept safe and private?

As Aqua Glimmer Pool Services LLC in Largo, Florida, protecting your personal information is one of our top priorities. We take reasonable and practical steps to keep your data safe and private, consistent with Florida law, including the Florida Information Protection Act (FIPA), which requires businesses to implement appropriate safeguards for personal information.

Here’s how we protect your information in simple terms:

1. Secure Handling of Data

2. Technical Safeguards

  • We enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) on important accounts and systems whenever possible.
  • Regular software and security updates are applied promptly to reduce vulnerabilities.

3. Physical and Operational Security

  • Paper records (if any) are kept in locked filing areas and shredded when no longer needed.
  • Only authorized employees have access to customer data, and they are trained on keeping information confidential.
  • Technicians carry minimal customer information on mobile devices during service visits, and devices are secured.
  • We have clear policies for employees: no sharing of customer details outside of what’s required to do their job.

4. Vendor and Partner Protections

  • Any third-party service we use (payment processors, scheduling software, accountants) signs agreements requiring them to protect your data with similar or stronger security measures and to notify us quickly if there’s any issue.
  • We do not share your information with anyone unless it’s necessary for service, payment, or required by law.

5. What Happens in Case of a Problem       (Data Breach)

  • If we ever discover a breach that could affect your information, we will investigate promptly.
  • Per Florida law (FIPA), we will notify affected customers within 30 days of determining a breach, providing details about what happened and steps you can take to protect yourself.
  • For larger breaches (affecting 500+ Florida residents), we also notify the Florida Department of Legal Affairs as required.

6. Continuous Improvement

  • We review our security practices periodically and update them as needed.
  • We encourage our team to stay aware of common risks like phishing emails or suspicious links.

Important Note: While we take these steps seriously, no system is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute protection against every possible threat, but we work hard every day to minimize risks and handle your information responsibly.
