Privacy policy

The short version

PoolOwl doesn't require an account, doesn't sell personal data, and doesn't set advertising cookies. Calculators run in your browser.

What stays in your browser

• Calculator inputs are written into the page address (the part after "?") so you can bookmark or share a result. If you share the link, the recipient sees those numbers.
• Your last pool or hot tub volume and checklist progress are saved in your browser's local storage so other tools can use them. We can't see this data. Clear it any time by clearing site data in your browser.
