Privacy Policy

Introduction

Welcome to PoolDayPass ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience on our website. This policy outlines our data handling practices.

Information We Collect

Information You Provide

We collect information you voluntarily provide when you:

• Submit a contact form
• Request a hotel listing
• Request a new city to be added
• Subscribe to our newsletter (if applicable)

Automatically Collected Information

When you visit our website, we may automatically collect certain information, including:

• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Pages visited and time spent
• Referring website
• IP address (anonymized)

How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

• Respond to your inquiries and requests
• Improve our website and services
• Analyze website usage patterns
• Send relevant updates (with your consent)
• Comply with legal obligations

Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience. You can control cookie preferences through our cookie consent banner or your browser settings.

We use:

• Essential cookies: Required for basic website functionality
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand how visitors use our site

Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services such as:

• Google Analytics: For website analytics (anonymized data)
• Vercel: For website hosting

These services have their own privacy policies governing how they use your information.

Advertising and Affiliate Partners

We work with third-party advertising and affiliate partners to help keep the site free to use. Here's how that works in practice:

• Affiliate links (hotel stays): Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click through and book an overnight hotel stay, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. We earn nothing from pool day pass bookings — those are booked directly with the hotel.
• Mediavine: We use Mediavine to display advertisements. Mediavine may use cookies and similar technologies to serve personalised ads based on your browsing behaviour. See their Privacy Policy for details.
• Stay22: We use Stay22 to display accommodation maps and hotel booking links. Stay22 may collect data about your interactions with their embedded content. Their Privacy Policy explains how they handle your data.
• Stay22 LetMeAllez: We use Stay22's LetMeAllez script to add affiliate tracking to hotel booking links. This enables us to earn a commission on overnight bookings made through those links, at no extra cost to you.

Affiliate relationships do not influence which hotels are listed, their order, or what is written about them.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

• Access your personal data
