This Privacy Policy explains how PickleballAddicts.com ("we," "us," or "our") collects and uses information when you visit our website.

Information We Collect

We do not collect any personally identifiable information directly. We do not have account registration, contact forms, or email signup at this time.

We use Google Analytics 4 to collect anonymous usage data, including:

• Pages visited and time spent on site
• General geographic location (country/city level)
• Device type, browser, and operating system
• How you arrived at our site (search engine, direct, referral)

This data is aggregated and anonymous — we cannot identify individual visitors.

Cookies

Google Analytics uses cookies to distinguish visitors and track sessions. These are small text files stored in your browser. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though this may affect site functionality.

To opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Affiliate Links

PickleballAddicts.com participates in affiliate marketing programs. When you click a booking or product link on our site, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Our affiliate partners include:

• Booking.com (via Awin affiliate network)
• Other travel booking platforms

Affiliate links may use tracking cookies to attribute referrals. These are governed by each partner's own privacy policy.

Third-Party Services

Our site uses the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:

• Google Analytics — Google Privacy Policy
• Awin — Awin Privacy Policy

Data Retention

Google Analytics data is retained for 14 months by default. We do not store any personal data on our own servers.

Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights under GDPR (EU), CCPA (California), or other privacy laws, including the right to access, correct, or delete data collected about you. Since we only collect anonymous analytics data, most of these rights are satisfied by default.

To opt out of analytics tracking, use the Google Analytics opt-out tool linked above or enable "Do Not Track" in your browser.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the site grows (e.g., when a newsletter or user accounts are added). The "last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes.
