We use your personal information to operate, provide,
develop, and improve the products and services that we offer our customers.
These purposes include:

information to take and handle orders, deliver products and services,
process payments, and communicate with you about orders, products and
services, and promotional offers.
- Provide,
troubleshoot, and improve Aqualight Services. We use your
personal information to provide functionality, analyze performance, fix
errors, and improve the usability and effectiveness of the Aqualight
Services.
- Recommendations
and personalization. We use your personal information to
recommend features, products, and services that might be of interest to
you, identify your preferences, and personalize your experience with Aqualight
Services.

sellers information regarding place of establishment and bank account
information for identity verification and other purposes.

you in relation to Aqualight Services via different channels (e.g., by
phone, e-mail, chat).

use your personal information to display interest-based ads for features,

What About Cookies and Other Identifiers?
To enable our systems to recognize your browser or device
and to provide and improve Aqualight Services, we use cookies and other
identifiers. For more information about cookies and how we use them, please
read our Cookies Notice.
Does Aqualight Share Your Personal Information?
Information about our customers is an important part of our
business, and we are not in the business of selling our customers' personal
information to others. Aqualight shares customers' personal information only as
described below .
- Third-Party
Service Providers: We employ other companies and individuals to
perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders for
products or services, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail,
removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data,
providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links
(including paid listings and links), processing payments, transmitting
content, scoring, assessing and managing credit risk, and providing
customer service. These third-party service providers have access to
personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it
for other purposes.
- Business
Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell
or buy other businesses or services. In such transactions, customer
information generally is one of the transferred business assets but
remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice
(unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the
unlikely event that Aqualightuae.com or substantially all of its assets
are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the
transferred assets.
- Protection
of Aqualight and Others: We release account and other personal
information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law;
enforce or apply our Conditions of Use & Sale and
other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Aqualight,
our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other
companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk
reduction.
Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when
personal information about you might be shared with third - parties, and you
will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.
How Secure Is Information About Me?
We design our systems with your security and privacy in
mind.
- We
work to protect the security of your personal information during
transmission by using encryption protocols and software.
- We
follow the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) when
handling credit card data.
- We
maintain physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards in connection
with the collection, storage, and disclosure of personal customer
information. Our security procedures mean that we may occasionally request
proof of identity before we disclose personal information to you.
- Our
devices offer security features to protect them against unauthorized
access and loss of data. You can control these features and configure them
based on your needs.
- It
is important for you to protect against unauthorized access to your
password and to your computers, devices, and applications. Be sure to sign
off when finished using a shared computer.
- Credit/debit
card details and personally identifiable information will not be stored, sold,
shared or rented to any third parties.
What About Advertising?
- Third-Party
Advertisers and Links to Other Websites: Aqualight Services may
include third-party advertising and links to other websites and
applications. Third-party advertising partners may collect information
about you when you interact with their content, advertising, and services.
- Use
of Third-Party Advertising Services: We provide ad companies with
information that allows them to serve you with more useful and relevant Aqualight
ads and to measure their effectiveness. We never share your name or other
information that directly identifies you when we do this. Instead, we use
an advertising identifier like a cookie or device identifier, or a code
derived from applying irreversible cryptography to other information like
an email address.
What Information Can I Access?
You can access your information, including your name,
address, payment options, profile information, and purchase history in the
"Your Account" section of the website.
What Choices Do I Have?
If you have any questions as to how we collect and use your
personal information, please contact our Customer Service. Many of our Aqualight
Services also include settings that provide you with options as to how your
information is being used.
- As
described above, you can choose not to provide certain information, but
then you might not be able to take advantage of many of the Aqualight
Services.
- If
you do not want to receive e-mail or other communications from us, please
adjust your Customer Communication Preferences.
- If
you do not want to see interest-based ads, please adjust
your Advertising Preferences.
- The
Help feature on most browsers and devices will tell you how to prevent
your browser or device from accepting new cookies or other identifiers,
how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how
to block cookies altogether. Because cookies and other identifiers allow
you to take advantage of some essential features of Aqualight Services, we
recommend that you leave them turned on. For instance, if you block or
otherwise reject our cookies, you will not be able to add items to your
Shopping Cart, proceed to Checkout, or use any Aqualight Services that
require you to Sign in. For more information about cookies and other
identifiers, see our Cookies Notice.
- You
will also be able to opt out of certain other types of data usage by
updating your settings on the applicable Aqualight website , device, or
application. Most non-Aqualight devices also provide users with the
ability to change device permissions (e.g., disable/access location
services, contacts). For most devices, these controls are located in the
device's settings menu. If you have questions about how to change your
device permissions on devices manufactured by third - parties, we
recommend you contact your mobile service carrier or your device
manufacturer.
- In
addition, to the extent required by applicable law, you may have the right
to request access to or delete your personal data. If you wish to do any
of these things, please contact Customer Service. Depending on your
data choices, certain services may be limited or unavailable.

frequently to see recent changes. Unless stated otherwise, our current Privacy
