Privacy policy
You don't need an account to use this site, and we don't ask for your name, address or email.
What we collect
We use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used: which pages people visit, how they arrived (for example, from a search engine), and general information such as device type, browser and approximate location at the city or region level. Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser to tell visits apart. We see totals and trends, such as how many people viewed a town page, not who you are.
Google processes this data under its own terms. You can read how Google uses information from sites that use its services. To stop Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits, you can block cookies in your browser or install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
When you type a ZIP code or town into the search box, the lookup happens in your browser. If you search from the box at the top of a page, your search is passed to our home page in the page address (for example /?q=08854); the page removes it from the address before Google Analytics loads, so it isn't sent to Google Analytics. We don't store what you search for.
The softener calculator runs entirely in your browser. The numbers you enter aren't sent to us.
Services that load on our pages
The site is hosted on Cloudflare. Our font is loaded from Google Fonts, which means your browser connects to Google's servers to download it. Like any web server, these services can see your IP address and the address of the page or file your browser requests.
Links to other sites
We link to utility water quality reports, government agencies and product pages. When you follow those links, the other site's privacy policy applies. None of our product links are affiliate links yet; see our affiliate disclosure.
If you email us
If you write to us, for example to report an error, we use your email only to reply and to fix the problem. We don't add you to a mailing list.
