Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Picklerfinder. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our service.

Data Controller

The data controller responsible for your personal data under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is Transylvania Pickleball Sports Club, the legal entity operating the Picklerfinder platform. For any privacy-related questions, or to exercise any of your rights described in this policy, you can contact us at support@picklerfinder.com.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us, including:

• Account information (email address, display name, phone number)
• Profile information (skill level, location preferences)
• Booking and reservation details
• Communications you send to us

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve our services
• Process bookings and reservations
• Send you technical notices and support messages
• Respond to your comments and questions
• Connect you with other pickleball players

4. Data Storage

We use your browser's local storage to store authentication tokens and preferences locally on your device. This data remains on your device and is used to keep you logged in and remember your settings. You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings.

Analytics

With your consent (given via the cookie banner), we use Google Analytics 4 to understand how the platform is used — page views, feature usage, and aggregate trends — and how quickly pages load and respond (standard Core Web Vitals timings, such as how long the main content takes to appear). These timings describe the page, not you, and are sent only with your consent. IP addresses are anonymized and advertising signals are disabled. If you decline the cookie banner, no analytics scripts are loaded and no timings are sent. You can withdraw consent at any time by clearing this site’s cookies and local storage in your browser.

Also only with your consent, we test which of two site designs (a dark and a light theme) works better: on accepting the cookie banner you are randomly shown one of them, and a first-party cookie (pf_theme_variant, kept for 90 days) remembers which, so the design stays the same between visits. Which design you saw is recorded with the analytics above, never anything about you. If you decline, the cookie is never set (and is removed if it was), and you see the standard dark design.

5. Your Rights (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have certain data protection rights:

• Right to Access: You can request a copy of your personal data
• Right to Rectification: You can request correction of inaccurate data
• Right to Erasure: You can request deletion of your personal data
• Right to Portability: You can request a copy of your data in a portable format
• Right to Object: You can object to processing of your personal data
• Right to Withdraw Consent: You can withdraw consent at any time

To exercise these rights, please contact us at support@picklerfinder.com.

6. California Privacy Rights (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, you have specific rights regarding your personal information under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA):

• Right to Know: You can request information about the categories and specific pieces of personal information we collect
• Right to Delete: You can request deletion of your personal information
• Right to Opt-Out: You have the right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information
• Right to Non-Discrimination: You will not be discriminated against for exercising your CCPA rights

7. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
