Sharing Personal Information
We share your Personal Information with service providers to help us provide our services and fulfill our contracts with you, but we do not sell or rent your Personal Information.

Business transfers
If we engage in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. If this happens, we will take steps to ensure your privacy continues to be protected and will notify you where required by law.
Aggregated or de-identified information
We may use or share information that has been aggregated or de-identified in a way that does not identify you personally (for example, general statistics about site traffic or common water concerns) for purposes such as analytics, improvements, and understanding trends.
Behavioural Advertising & Analytics
Our primary focus is education and service, not ad tracking. We use your Personal Information first and foremost to help you, not to sell your data.
We may use analytics tools (for example, Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve our content and user experience.
-
Google Analytics (if used):
You can read more about how Google uses your Personal Information here:
https://policies.google.com/privacy
You can opt out of Google Analytics here:
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
At this time, we do not sell your Personal Information to advertising networks. If we use advertising or remarketing tools, we use them to reach people who have expressed interest in safer water—not to sell your profile to other companies.
If we ever begin using third-party advertising services in a way that materially changes how your Personal Information is used or shared, we will update this Policy and, where required, ask for your consent.
For general information about targeted advertising, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s (NAI) educational page at:
http://www.networkadvertising.org/understanding-online-advertising/how-does-it-work.
You can also limit some tracking and targeted advertising by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance’s opt-out portal:
http://optout.aboutads.info/.
Using Personal Information
We use your Personal Information internally to provide and improve our services to you. This includes:
-
Offering products for sale
-
Processing payments and fulfilling orders
-
Arranging shipping and delivery
-
Providing invoices, order confirmations, and support
-
Responding to your questions and requests
-
Sending educational content about water and filtration (if you opt in)

Keeping you up to date on new products, services, offers, and important changes

Maintaining, securing, and improving the Site, products, and services
-
Detecting, preventing, and protecting against fraud, abuse, or security risks

Complying with legal obligations and enforcing our Terms of Service
We aim to keep our use of your data fully aligned with our mission: helping families protect their health and wellbeing with safer water.
Lawful basis (EEA, UK & similar regions)
If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or another region with similar laws, we process your Personal Information under one or more of the following lawful bases:
-
Your consent (for example, when you sign up for marketing emails)
-
Performance of a contract between you and the Site (for example, when you place an order)
-
Compliance with legal obligations (for example, tax and accounting requirements)
-
Protection of vital interests (for example, helping address a product safety issue)
-
Tasks carried out in the public interest, where applicable
-
Our legitimate interests, which do not override your fundamental rights and freedoms (for example, improving our services, preventing fraud, and maintaining Site security)
Retention
When you place an order through the Site, we retain your Personal Information for as long as reasonably necessary to:
-
Provide products and services
-
Fulfill the purposes described in this Policy
-
Comply with legal, tax, accounting, and regulatory requirements
-
Resolve disputes and enforce our agreements
When your Personal Information is no longer needed, we will securely delete or anonymize it.
You can also ask us to delete your Personal Information, subject to certain legal or operational requirements. See “Your rights” below.
Automatic decision-making
If you are a resident of the EEA or a similar jurisdiction, you have the right to object to processing based solely on automated decision-making (including profiling) when that decision has a legal or otherwise significant effect on you.
We do not engage in fully automated decision-making that has a legal or otherwise significant effect using customer data.
Our processor Shopify uses limited automated decision-making to prevent fraud that does not have a legal or otherwise significant effect on you. Services that include elements of automated decision-making include:
-
Temporary deny-list of IP addresses associated with repeated failed transactions (persists for a small number of hours)
-
Temporary deny-list of credit cards associated with deny-listed IP addresses (persists for a small number of days)
Selling Personal Information (CCPA / CPRA – California)
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), “selling” Personal Information has a specific legal meaning.
Aloha Pure Water does not sell your Personal Information.
We do not exchange your Personal Information for money, nor do we share it with third parties for their independent marketing purposes.
If this ever changes, we will:
-
Update this section to describe the categories of information sold;
-
Provide a clear “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” mechanism; and
-
Explain any financial incentives offered (if any).

Request access to your Personal Information
-
Request correction of inaccurate Personal Information

Most of the cookies we use are “persistent” and remain until they expire or are deleted; others are “session” cookies that last only while your browser is open.
You can control and manage cookies in various ways.

Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your Personal Information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration.
No system is 100% secure, but we continually work to align our practices with industry standards and to protect your data as carefully as we protect the water we care so much about.
International Visitors
Aloha Pure Water is based in the United States. If you are accessing the Site from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the U.S. or other countries which may have different data protection laws than your home country.
By using the Site, you consent to the transfer and processing of your information in the United States and elsewhere, in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.
Do Not Track
Please note that because there is no consistent industry understanding of how to respond to “Do Not Track” signals, we do not alter our data collection and usage practices when we detect such a signal from your browser.
You can still use browser and device settings, as well as the choices described in the Cookies and Behavioural Advertising & Analytics sections, to control certain types of tracking.
Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time in order to reflect changes to our practices, Shopify’s practices, or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.
When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we may provide more prominent notice (for example, a notice on our homepage or at checkout).
Your continued use of the Site after any changes means you accept the updated Policy.
