This Privacy Policy explains how Water Filter Warehouse LLC, doing business as The H2O Heroes ("we," "us," or "our"), collects, uses, and shares information when you:
- visit our website at theh2oheroes.com or any of its pages,
- use our customer portal at refer.theh2oheroes.com, or
- use The H2O Heroes Customer Portal mobile application for iOS and Android (package name
com.theh2oheroes.portal) (together, the "Services").
By using the Services, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy. This policy is available worldwide and is not geographically restricted.
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide to us:
- Contact information such as your name, email address, phone number, and service address, for example when you request a quote, schedule service, create or sign in to a portal account, or contact us.
- Account and service information such as your water treatment equipment, service and appointment history, warranty coverage, salt level logs, filter change schedules, and service requests you submit.
- Referral information such as the name and contact details of a person you refer to us, which you may only provide with that person's consent.
- Communications such as messages, reviews, photos, and water test information you send us.
Information collected automatically:
- Usage and device information such as IP address, browser or device type, operating system, pages viewed, and approximate location derived from your IP address or ZIP code. We use this to operate, secure, and improve the Services.
- Cookies and similar technologies used for site functionality and analytics, and to measure advertising performance. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
The mobile app does not access your contacts, photos, precise GPS location, or microphone. Signing in to the portal uses a one time code sent to your email address or phone number instead of a password.
2. How We Use Information
- To provide, maintain, and improve the Services, including scheduling installations, service visits, filter changes, and warranty support.
- To operate your customer portal account, including sending one time sign in codes by email or text message.
- To send service related communications such as appointment confirmations, filter and salt reminders, warranty renewals, and water quality alerts for your area.
- To send marketing communications where permitted. You can opt out at any time by following the unsubscribe link in an email or replying STOP to a text message.
- To administer our referral program.
- To comply with legal obligations and protect our rights, customers, and Services.
3. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only with:
- Service providers who help us operate our business, such as our customer relationship management system, email and text message delivery providers, payment processors, cloud hosting providers, and analytics providers. These providers may only use your information to perform services for us.
- Financing partners, if you choose to apply for financing, and only with your direction.
- Legal authorities when required by law, subpoena, or to protect safety and rights.
- A successor business in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this policy.
4. Text Messages (SMS)
If you provide your phone number, we may send you service related text messages such as sign in codes, appointment reminders, and maintenance reminders. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for help. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of purchase. We do not share your mobile number with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
5. Data Retention and Deletion
We keep personal information for as long as needed to provide the Services, meet legal and warranty obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Service records tied to installed equipment and warranties are retained for the life of the warranty relationship.
You may request deletion of your personal information or your portal account at any time by emailing info@theh2oheroes.com or calling (866) 426-4376. We will delete your information unless we are required to keep it for legal, warranty, or accounting purposes, and we will tell you if that is the case.
6. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) and passwordless one time code sign in for the customer portal. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Children's Privacy
The Services are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
8. Your Rights and Choices
- Access and correction: You may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you or ask us to correct it.
- Deletion: You may request deletion as described in Section 5.
- Marketing opt out: Unsubscribe from emails or reply STOP to texts at any time. Service related messages, such as appointment confirmations, may still be sent.

Residents of certain states may have additional rights under applicable law. To exercise any right, contact us using the details below. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights.
9. Third Party Links
The Services may link to third party websites, such as financing applications or review platforms. Those sites have their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their practices.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page with a new effective date. Material changes will be communicated through the Services or by email.
