Pool Corporation is committed to handling personal information in accordance with this Privacy and Cookies Policy and the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework (or the Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework, as the case may be), as administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce. If there is any conflict between the terms of this Privacy and Cookies Policy and the Privacy Shield Principles, the Privacy Shield Principles shall govern.

Pool Corporation’s accountability for personal information that it receives under the Privacy Shield and subsequently transfers to a third party is described in the Privacy Shield Principles. In particular, Pool Corporation remains responsible and liable under the Privacy Shield Principles if third parties engaged by Pool Corporation process the personal information in a manner inconsistent with the Principles, unless Pool Corporation proves that it is not responsible for the event giving rise to any damage.

Pool Corporation encourages you to send an email to privacy@scppool.com if you have a Privacy Shield-related (or general privacy-related) complaint. Complaints will be resolved internally in accordance with Pool Corporation’s complaints procedures.

If you you have a complaint regarding the handling of your personal information in accordance with the EU-U.S. or Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and your efforts to resolve the matter internally are unsatisfactory, the complaint may be submitted to the American Arbitration Association (https://go.adr.org/privacyshield.html), which has been selected as the independent recourse mechanism to resolve complaints and disputes relating to treatment of personal information originating in the European Union, European Economic Area, or Switzerland and transferred to the U.S. under this Privacy and Cookies Policy. Under certain conditions, you may be entitled to invoke binding arbitration through the Privacy Shield Panel when other dispute resolution procedures have been exhausted. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority at any time. Pool Corporation is subject to the investigatory and enforcement powers of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

V. Security of the Information We Collect

The security of your personal information is important to us. We maintain reasonable physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to secure the personal information we collect.

There is always some risk in transmitting information electronically. As we deem appropriate, we use security measures consistent with industry standards. However, we cannot guarantee the security of our databases, nor can we guarantee that information you supply won't be intercepted while being transmitted to us over the Internet. If we forward your personal information to any third party, we require that the third parties have appropriate technical and organizational measures in place to comply with this Privacy and Cookies Policy and applicable laws.

VI. Children’s Privacy

It is our policy not to knowingly collect personal information from children, and therefore we do not knowingly distribute or otherwise process such information to third parties. If you are a parent/guardian and you suspect that your child may have submitted personal information to us, please send us an email at [privacy@scppool.com]. If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal information, we will strive to delete such information from our files as soon as possible.

VII. Your Rights

The following section explains your rights that you may exercise. The various rights are not absolute and each is subject to certain exceptions.

The right of access – You have the right to obtain from us confirmation as to whether or not your personal information is being processed by us, and about certain other information (similar to that provided in this policy) about how it is used. You also have the right to access your personal information, by requesting a copy of the personal information concerning you. This is so you are aware and can check that we are using your information in accordance with data protection law. We can refuse to provide information where to do so may reveal personal data about another person or would otherwise negatively impact another person's rights.

The right to rectification – You can ask us to take measures to correct your personal information if it is inaccurate or incomplete (e.g., if we have the wrong name or address for you).

The right to erasure – This is also known as the ‘right to be forgotten’ and, in simple terms, enables you to request the deletion or removal of your personal information where, for example, there is no compelling reason for us to keep using it or its use is unlawful. This is however not a general right to erasure and there are some exceptions, e.g., where we need to use the information in defense of a legal claim or to be able to comply with a legal obligation.

The right to restrict processing – You have the right to ‘block’ or suppress the further use of your personal information when we are assessing a request for rectification or as an alternative to erasure. When processing is restricted, we can still store your personal information, but may not use it further.

The right to data portability – You have the right to obtain and reuse certain personal information for your own purposes across different organizations (being separate data controllers). This only applies to your personal information that you have provided to us that we are processing with your consent and for the purposes of contract fulfillment, which is being processed by automated means. In such a case we will provide you with a copy of your data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or (where technically feasible) we may transmit your data directly to a separate data controller.

The right to object – You have the right to object to certain types of processing, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time insofar as that processing takes place for the purposes of our legitimate interests. We will be allowed to continue to process the personal information if we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms or we need this for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. If you object to the processing of your personal information for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process your personal information for such purposes.

The right to withdraw consent – Where we process your personal information on the basis of your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. However, such withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of the processing that occurred prior to such withdrawal.

The right to provide us with directives regarding the use of your personal information after your death – You have the right to provide us with instructions on the management (e.g., retention, erasure and disclosure) of your personal information after your death. You can change or revoke your instructions at any time.

The right to lodge a complaint – If you believe that we do not comply with applicable data protection laws, you have the right to lodge a complaint before any competent data protection authority.

You may contact us at any time at privacy@scppool.com to exercise these rights.
