Privacy policy

Effective 18 October 2026. This policy covers solarpoweredwaterpumps.com, published by SolarPoweredWaterPumps.com, a Silicon Valley Ventures company. It describes what we collect, why, who processes it for us, and the choices you have.

What we collect

• Contact form. If you write to us, we receive your name, email address, the topic you chose, your message, and the page you came from. We use them to read and answer your message and to keep a record of the correspondence.
• Bot check. The contact page uses Cloudflare Turnstile to tell people from automated abuse. Turnstile processes technical signals from your browser and device, including your IP address, under Cloudflare's privacy policy. It loads only on the contact page.
• Server logs. Our host, Vercel, records standard request data (IP address, the page requested, browser type, time) for security, abuse prevention and operations. Cloudflare provides our DNS.
• The calculator runs in your browser. What you type into it is not sent to us; the inputs are kept only in the page address (after the #) so you can bookmark or share a result.
• Google Analytics (since 18 October 2026). Until 18 October 2026 this site ran no analytics and this page said so. On that date we added Google Analytics 4 to see which pages and tools are used. It records the pages you view, how you arrived (referrer and campaign tags), approximate location derived from your IP address, device and browser type, and interactions such as scrolling and outbound clicks. Google Signals and ad personalisation are switched off, and no advertising tags run on this site.

Cookies and your choice

Google Analytics sets two first-party cookies when it is allowed to run: _ga (distinguishes visitors, kept up to 2 years) and _ga_RBR0D6EXJP (keeps session state for this property, kept up to 2 years). We also store your choice in your browser's local storage under spwp.consent.analytics. Nothing else on this site sets a cookie of ours; Cloudflare Turnstile on the contact page may set its own.

• In the EU/EEA, the UK and Switzerland, Google's tag is not loaded at all until you choose Agree. Our lawful basis there is your consent, which you can withdraw at any time.
• Elsewhere, analytics runs unless you choose Decline in the notice.
• Global Privacy Control. If your browser sends a GPC signal, we treat it as Decline unless you agree.
• Changing your mind. “Cookie settings” at the foot of every page reopens the notice. Decline stops measurement at once and deletes the Google Analytics cookies.
• Never measured: the contact page and the contact form's endpoint do not load analytics.

Who processes it

• SendGrid (Twilio) delivers contact-form messages to our inbox.
• Cloudflare provides Turnstile and DNS.
• Google (Google LLC) processes analytics data as our processor for Google Analytics, under the Google Ads Data Processing Terms and Google's privacy policy. Google keeps analytics data for the retention period set in our Google Analytics account.
• Vercel hosts the site and keeps server logs.

These providers act on our behalf under their own terms. We also disclose information where the law requires it, to protect rights, safety or property, or as part of a sale or transfer of the site, in which case this policy continues to apply to information collected under it.

How long we keep it

Contact-form messages are not stored in any database on this site. They exist only as emails in our inbox, kept for as long as the correspondence is useful and generally no longer than two years. Server and network logs are kept by Vercel and Cloudflare for their standard periods.

Affiliate links

Some links go to merchants (Eco-Worthy, VEVOR and LiTime) through the Awin affiliate network. After you click, Awin and the merchant may set cookies on their own sites to record that you came from us, so a purchase can be credited. We receive commission reports from Awin; they do not identify you to us. See our affiliate disclosure.

Your privacy rights

Residents of California (CCPA as amended by the CPRA) and of other US states with comprehensive privacy laws have rights to know and access the personal information a business holds about them, to correct it, to delete it, and to opt out of its sale, sharing for cross-context behavioural advertising, or use for targeted advertising. We do not sell personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising or targeted advertising. We honour Global Privacy Control signals: a GPC signal switches Google Analytics off for your browser. We will not treat you differently for exercising a right.

Visitors in the UK and EEA have equivalent rights under the GDPR. Our lawful basis for answering a message is our legitimate interest in replying to people who write to us; for analytics it is your consent.

How to make a request

Use the contact form and choose “A privacy request”. Tell us what you want us to do. We may need to confirm that the request comes from the person the information is about, usually by replying to the email address in question. We respond within 45 days, as US state laws require, and aim for 30. An authorised agent may make a request on your behalf with your signed permission.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has sent us information, tell us through the contact form and we will delete it.

Security and transfers

Traffic to this site is encrypted in transit and our providers apply access controls. No system is perfectly secure. We and our providers process information in the United States.

Changes

If we change this policy we will update the effective date and describe material changes on this page.
