Your privacy is important to Hayward Score. So we’ve developed a Privacy Policy that covers how we collect, use, disclose, transfer, and store your information. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our privacy practices and let us know if you have any questions.
Hayward Score (“we”) operates http://www.haywardscore.com (the “Site”). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Information we receive from users of the Site. By using the Site and filling out the Hayward Score Survey (“survey”), you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
Collection and Use of Personal Information
Personal information is data that can be used to identify or contact a single person.
You may be asked to provide your personal information anytime you are in contact with Hayward Score or a Hayward Score affiliated company or organization. Hayward Score and its affiliates may share this personal information with each other and use it consistent with this Privacy Policy. They may also combine it with other information to provide and improve our products, services, content, and advertising. You are not required to provide the personal information that we have requested, but, if you chose not to do so, in many cases we will not be able to provide you with our products or services or respond to any queries you may have.
Personal information we collect
- When you complete a Hayward Score survey, purchase a product, or register on our website, we may collect a variety of information, including your name, mailing address, phone number, email address, contact preferences, and credit card information.
How we use your personal information
- The personal information we collect allows us to keep you posted on Hayward Scores latest product announcements and updates, as well as to email you your completed Hayward Score Report. If you don’t want to be on our mailing list, once you have received your initial report, you can opt out at anytime.
- We also use personal information to help us create, develop, operate, deliver, and improve our products, services, content and advertising.
- From time to time, we may use your personal information to send important notices, such as communications about changes to our terms, conditions, and policies. Because this information is important to your interaction with Hayward Score, you may not opt out of receiving these communications.
- We may also use personal information for internal purposes such as auditing, data analysis, and research.
Collection and Use of Non-Personal Information
We also collect data in a form that does not, on its own, permit direct association with any specific individual. We may collect, use, transfer, and disclose non-personal information for any purpose. The following are some examples of non-personal information that we collect and how we may use it:
- We may collect information such as zip code in addition to the information about your home and health collected in our survey so that we can provide you with a Hayward Score report.
- We may collect information regarding activities on our website. This information is used to help us provide more useful information to our customers and to understand which parts of our website, products, and services are of most interest. This data is considered non-personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.
If we do combine non-personal information with personal information the combined information will be treated as personal information for as long as it remains combined.

We treat information collected by cookies and other technologies as non-personal information. However, to the extent that Internet Protocol (IP) addresses or similar identifiers are considered personal information by local law, we also treat these identifiers as personal information.

We use this information to understand and analyze trends, to administer the site, to learn about user behavior on the site, to improve our product and services, and to gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. Hayward Score may use this information in our marketing and advertising services.
In some of our email messages, we use a “click-through URL” linked to content on the Hayward Score website or one of our partners. When customers click one of these URLs, they may pass through a separate web server before arriving at the destination page on our website. We track this click-through data to help us determine interest in particular topics and measure the effectiveness of our customer communications. If you prefer not to be tracked in this way, you should not click text or graphic links in the email messages.
Pixel tags enable us to send email messages in a format customers can read, and they tell us whether mail has been opened. We may use this information to reduce or eliminate messages sent to customers.
