Privacy policy
Last updated: January 2026
Whole House Water Treatment is an independent editorial site. We publish buying guides, product reviews, and U.S. water-quality information. This page explains what data the site collects when you visit, how that data is used, and the choices you have.
What we collect
We use standard web analytics (pageviews, referrer, country-level location, device type) to understand which articles are useful and where readers get stuck. We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or precise location. We do not run user accounts on this site, so there is no profile, login, or stored history tied to you.
Cookies and affiliate tracking
When you click an outgoing affiliate link to a partner brand (SpringWell, Aquasana, SoftPro, Pelican), that brand drops a cookie in your browser so it can attribute a qualifying purchase back to this site. These cookies are set by the partner, not by us, and last for the duration of that brand's affiliate program, typically 30 to 60 days. You can clear cookies at any time in your browser settings or block third-party cookies entirely.
Your rights (California, EU, UK)
California residents have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. EU and UK visitors have the rights afforded under GDPR and UK GDPR, including access, deletion, and portability of their personal data. Because we do not store individual user records on this site, most requests are best directed to the partner brand whose affiliate cookie is involved. Contact the brand directly through the support links on their site.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from them. If you believe a child has interacted with the site, contact us through one of our partner brands and we will work to remove any related analytics data.
Changes
We update this page whenever our analytics setup or partner program list changes. The revision date at the top reflects the latest update.
