PondPumpCalculator.com may display advertisements through Google AdSense and other advertising services.
Google and other third-party advertising providers may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, or similar technologies in connection with ad serving, measurement, fraud prevention, reporting, and advertising personalization.
Google explains that AdSense cookies can be used to improve advertising, including helping target relevant advertising, measure campaign performance, and manage ad frequency.
Google’s publisher policies require publishers to maintain a privacy policy that explains relevant data collection and use associated with Google products, including the use of cookies, web beacons, IP addresses, or other identifiers.
Third parties may place and read cookies on visitors’ browsers or use web beacons or IP addresses as a result of advertisements being served on the website.
Google’s required publisher disclosures also state that third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s previous visits to this website or other websites.
Users may manage Google’s advertising personalization through Google Ads Settings.
Google also provides information about how its advertising products use cookies and how users can manage personalized advertising.
8. Personalized Advertising
Depending on advertising settings, user location, consent status, and applicable requirements, advertisements displayed on this website may be personalized or non-personalized.
Personalized advertising may use information associated with browsing activity or advertising identifiers to help determine which advertisements may be relevant.
We do not intentionally provide advertisers with information that directly identifies you unless such sharing is specifically permitted and appropriately disclosed.
Google’s publisher policies place restrictions on personalized advertising involving certain categories of information and users, including users known to be under 13.
9. Google Privacy and Data Use Information
Google provides additional information about how it may use information when users interact with websites or apps that use its services.
Visitors may review Google’s information about data use through the relevant Google privacy resources and manage certain advertising preferences through Google’s advertising controls.
We encourage visitors to review Google’s own policies for the most current information regarding Google’s processing of information.

Analytics information is generally used in aggregate or otherwise for purposes such as understanding website usage, identifying problems, improving content, and improving website performance.

11. Affiliate Links
Some pages on PondPumpCalculator.com may contain affiliate links to third-party products, retailers, or services.
When you click an affiliate link, the third party or affiliate network may use cookies or other technologies to identify that a qualifying referral originated from our website.
If you subsequently make a qualifying purchase or complete another qualifying action, PondPumpCalculator.com may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.
Affiliate tracking is generally handled by the relevant third-party retailer or affiliate network rather than through our own collection of payment information.
We do not receive your complete payment-card information when you make a purchase from a third-party retailer through an affiliate link.
Please review the privacy policy of the relevant third party for information about its data practices.

Once you leave PondPumpCalculator.com and visit an external website, that website’s own privacy policy and terms apply.
We do not control the privacy practices, security, cookies, data collection, or content of third-party websites.
We recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any external website before providing personal information or making a purchase.
13. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information as a business practice.
Information may nevertheless be processed or shared with service providers and third parties when reasonably necessary to operate the website or provide services.

-
Website hosting providers

Analytics providers

Affiliate networks

Website security providers

These third parties may process information according to their own policies and applicable contractual or legal requirements.
We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with legal obligations, respond to lawful requests, protect our rights, investigate abuse, or protect the security of the website and its users.
14. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to help protect information associated with the website.
However, no website, server, online communication method, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted to or through the website.
Visitors should avoid sending sensitive or confidential information through ordinary email or website contact forms unless specifically requested and appropriate.
15. Data Retention
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including responding to inquiries, maintaining records, operating the website, resolving disputes, preventing abuse, and meeting legal or administrative requirements.
Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the service through which it was collected.
Third-party services such as advertising, analytics, hosting, and affiliate networks may retain information according to their own policies.
16. Children’s Privacy
PondPumpCalculator.com is a general informational website.
We do not knowingly request or intentionally collect unnecessary personal information from children under the age of 13.
If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided personal information to us directly through a contact method, a parent or legal guardian may contact us and request that the information be reviewed and, where appropriate, deleted.
If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact:
Email: teampondpump@gmail.com
We also follow applicable requirements relating to advertising and children’s privacy. Google places specific restrictions on personalized advertising involving users known to be under 13 and sites or areas directed to children under 13.

Most modern web browsers allow users to manage cookies through their settings.
You may be able to:
-
Block cookies
-
Delete stored cookies
-
Receive notifications before cookies are stored
-
Restrict certain types of cookies
However, disabling cookies may affect the functionality or performance of some websites and services.
Because third-party services may use their own technologies, browser controls may not necessarily disable every form of online tracking or advertising technology.
19. Regional Privacy and Consent Requirements
Visitors from different countries or regions may be subject to different privacy laws and consent requirements.
Where applicable, PondPumpCalculator.com may use consent-management tools or other mechanisms to obtain required permissions for cookies, local storage, advertising personalization, or related processing.
For example, Google requires publishers serving personalized advertising to users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland to meet applicable consent-management requirements, including use of an appropriate Google-certified consent management platform in relevant circumstances.
The specific privacy rights and consent requirements applicable to a visitor depend on factors such as their location, the services being used, and applicable law.
20. Do Not Track Signals
Some browsers provide a “Do Not Track” setting.
Because there is no single universally implemented standard governing all third-party services, advertising networks, and analytics providers, our website may not respond to every browser-based Do Not Track signal in the same manner.
Third-party services may have their own mechanisms for handling privacy preferences.
21. Information From Third-Party Services
Some information associated with your visit may be collected directly by third-party services rather than by PondPumpCalculator.com.
For example, advertising, analytics, hosting, security, and affiliate services may independently process technical or usage information when their technologies operate on our website.
Such processing is governed by the relevant third party’s own privacy policies.
