Privacy Policy

Personally identifiable information is any data that could potentially be used to identify a particular individual. Different pieces of information can count as personally identifiable information if in combination they can lead to the identification of a particular person being discerned. THE PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION THAT YOU PROVIDE US We receive and store any information you enter on our Sites, Applications, or other platforms or interfaces, or that you give us in any other way. The personally identifiable information that we collect is more particularly described below. Please note that you may browse our Sites as a website visitor to find out more about Maytronics, but will not be required to provide us with any personally identifiable information in this instance, unless you are otherwise notified.

THE PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION THAT WE COLLECT

When you visit our Sites, we automatically collect and store the following information regarding all visitors; the type of browser and operating system used to access our Sites, the date and time our Sites are accessed (for the purpose of monitoring demand), and the last site that the visitor visited and if that site contained a link to our Sites (which indicates how the visitor found our Sites).

Like many websites, we use "cookies" and similar technologies to identify the areas of our Sites visited. Please see our Cookies Policy for more information.

Maytronics will collect, including by using third parties' web analytics services, usage information about the time, type and manner of use of the Sites.

Use of the Applications
The Applications may use third party tracking tools to improve the performance and features of the Applications. These third party tracking tools are designed to collect only non-personal information about the use of the Applications, but such tools are created and managed by parties outside Maytronics’ control. As such, we are not responsible for any information which is actually gathered by such third parties or for the use and protection of such information by such third parties.

In addition, when you install and use the Applications, Maytronics automatically collects and stores the following information: carrier (where applicable) and the date and time any of the Applications are accessed (for the purpose of monitoring demand).

If you are using one of our connected pool robot models, we will collect your usage information and location of the robot via the Application, which in combination with other details you provide us can potentially amount to personally identifiable information.

If you are a technician using the Maytronics Insight application, we will collect your geographical location data via GPS, to share with your employer for the purposes of carrying out location specific services and repairs.

We retain the right to collect and use personally identifiable information and the Aggregated Information in order to improve our Sites, the Applications, our other platforms and interfaces and our products and services in general.

COOKIES AND OTHER TRACKING TECHNOLOGIES

Cookies are small files that a web server sends to a user's device, when the user browses online.

Your device removes session cookies when you close your browser session. Persistent cookies last for longer periods. You can view the expiry date of each cookie, through your browser settings.

We use both types. We use persistent cookies to remember your log-in details and make it easier for you to log-in the next time you access our Sites.

For example, disabling or blocking our cookies will require you to re-enter your log-in details, or even prevent you from using features of the Sites.

Pixel tags are tiny graphics with a unique identifier (but do not retain any personally identifiable information), which help us count user or visitor visits/clicks to web pages while using the Sites. There are many browser add-ons available online, which offer online trackers blocking.

We also use browser local storage to store data on your device. Similar to cookies, browser local storage helps us store and retrieve data from HTML pages.

Unlike cookies, local storage objects (LSOs) are kept on your browser only and are not automatically transmitted to remote servers. You can disable storing LSOs through your browser's settings. For example, if you use Chrome, go to Settings->Privacy->Content Settings and check the box next to: "Block sites from setting any data."
