At Carolina Aqua Pools, we value our customers’ trust and respect your privacy. The following includes general information about our privacy policy and applies to all U.S. transactions (in our stores, through our catalog businesses, or on our Internet web sites).

Types of personal information we collect:
We collect and store personal information that you give us when you shop at one of our stores, register on our website, complete an application, request a catalog, place an order, enroll in a promotional or rewards program, submit for a rebate, call us, or send us a letter or e–mail. This information may include your name, mailing address, e–mail address, telephone number, fax number, credit card number and expiration date, and other optional demographic information. If you respond to a sweepstakes or contest, we will ask you to verify that you are old enough to participate. If you apply for a Carolina Aqua Pools–branded consumer or business credit card, we will need your age, social security number, and/or employment data.

How we use and share personal information:
We use the personal information we collect to process your orders, identify you within our systems, contact you if we have questions about your order, notify you about new services or special promotional programs, and submit for rebates. Carolina Aqua Pools and the sponsoring manufacturer will have access to any rebate information you provide.

We share your personal information within the Carolina Aqua Pools family of businesses and with third parties that perform services for us or on our behalf (for example, credit card companies, financial institutions, shipping companies, printing houses, consultants and advisors, and rebate processors) and when, in our judgment, we believe it is necessary or appropriate to prevent fraud, injury, or harm to persons or property, to protect our rights or the rights of others, to comply with applicable laws and regulations, or as otherwise required by law. We limit the scope of the information provided to third parties, and we allow its use only for the purposes for which it was disclosed. Personal information may be transferred in connection with a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition, insolvency, or asset sale involving any Carolina Aqua Pools business or asset to which the information pertains. If you shop at a retail store, through our catalog, or via Carolina Aqua Pools.com, we may share your name and mailing address (but not your e–mail address or telephone number) for external direct mail campaigns conducted by companies or organizations which offer products or services we believe may be of interest to our customers.
