Security
Pool & Associates maintains reasonable procedures to help ensure that personal information is reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete, and current. The Personal Information you provide us for registration or login via our website, mobile apps, or webforms will be entered and transmitted using 256‐bit (or greater) SSL encryption. Such information is stored behind a firewall on a secure server but not in an encrypted form. In addition, Pool & Associates also maintains reasonable procedures to help ensure that personal information is reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete, and current and to reasonably protect such information from inadvertent disclosure.
However, please recognize that email, and other methods of communication such as texting, are not encrypted and cannot be made secure. Pool & Associates therefore advises that you do not send any confidential or personal information such as credit card or account numbers to us through an unsecured email or text. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that even encrypted information transmitted by encrypted means can ever be 100% secure. We both therefore disclaim any and all liability for disclosure of profile or personal information, regardless of whether such liability arises from errors in transmission or unauthorized acts of third parties, or for any other reason, and we are not responsible for transactions between you and the third-party vendors who provide you with goods and services or for any occurrences of fraudulent or alleged fraudulent or wrongful or unauthorized activity relating to any credit, debit or payment card or other method of payment or for information you share with such vendors nor for the security of your transactions with the vendors or of personal or sensitive information transmitted by you to the vendors and stored and used by the vendors, whether transmitted through the Program website, through hyperlinks or direct by you to the vendor.
Geo-locating
Although you do not have to provide your location information to Pool & Associates to use our mobile applications, our services may require your current city and state location to function to maximize your options for finding vendors near you. You may manually enter a partial address and we will save your entry(ies) for future reference. Alternatively, when you download or install our mobile application, you may choose to allow it to obtain your precise location from your mobile device when you click the “current location” button and we will determine your location from the precise location data received from your mobile device. We do store precise location data unless you opt-out, and we do store the zip code or partial address associated with your location.
Aggregate Information; Customer Comments/suggestions
Pool & Associates uses non-identifying and aggregate information to better design our website and to share with advertisers and internet analytical companies such as Google and Yahoo. For example, we may tell an advertiser that X number of individuals visited a certain area on our website, or that Y number of men and Z number of women filled out our registration form, but we would not disclose any Personal Information to the vendors that could be used to identify those individuals. Pool & Associates uses web forms throughout its website (or mobile app) for customer comments and suggestions. Pool & Associates will make an effort to respond to your questions or comments in a prompt manner. Any information we collect from emails or web forms is used for the purpose of responding to your questions or comments.

Pool & Associates and our service providers also use cookies to customize content and advertising; measure promotional effectiveness, and promote trust and safety. Pool & Associates sends a “session cookie” to your computer when you log in to your account or otherwise use the Services. This type of cookie helps us to recognize you if you visit multiple pages on our site during the same session so that we don’t need to ask you for your password on each page. Once you log out or close your browser, this cookie expires and no longer has any effect. Pool & Associates also uses longer-lasting cookies for other purposes such as the “remember me” feature to display your e-mail address or account access information on our sign-in form, so that you don’t need to retype the e-mail address each time you log in to your account or to use the service. Pool & Associates encodes our cookies so that only we can interpret the information stored in them. You are free to decline our cookies if your browser permits, but doing so may interfere with your use of our website. Pool & Associates may also collect information about your computer or other access device to mitigate the risk of a broken workflow or transmission and for a transaction-tailored experience. You may encounter cookies from third parties when accessing or linking to the vendor services on their websites. Pool & Associates does not control those websites or the cookies that may exist in such situations (for example, if you link to or view a web page created by a third-party vendor or use an application developed by a third party, there may be a cookie placed by that web page or application.)
