Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 6, 2026

This policy explains what information Pool Deck Ideas (pooldeckideas.blog, “we”, “us”) collects when you visit the site, how it is used and the choices you have.

Information we collect

Information you give us

If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in the message. We use it only to reply and to improve our guides, and we do not sell it or add you to a mailing list without your permission.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our server records standard log data such as your IP address, browser type, the pages you visit and the time of your visit. We use this to keep the site secure and running well.

Cookies and analytics

We use Google Analytics, installed through Google Site Kit, to understand how visitors use the site, for example which guides are read most and how people arrive. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect usage data. You can learn how Google uses this data at How Google uses information from sites, and you can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.

You can also block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The site works without them.

Sharing buttons and embedded content

Our guides include share buttons for Pinterest and Facebook. These services may collect data about you if you click them or are signed in to them. Their own privacy policies apply.

Affiliate links and advertising

Some pages may contain affiliate links to retailers. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. The retailer may use cookies to track the referral. We may also show advertising in the future; if we do, this policy will be updated to name the ad partners and explain your choices.

How long we keep data

Emails are kept for as long as needed to handle your request. Analytics data is retained according to our Google Analytics settings, currently 14 months.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, including the EU, UK and California, you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you, or to object to its use. Email hello@pooldeckideas.blog and we will respond within 30 days.

Children

This site is intended for adults planning home projects. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top shows when it last changed.
