5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Websites may use cookies and similar technologies to support essential functionality, remember preferences, and maintain security.

Based on the information currently provided, we do not use analytics or advertising tracking tools on PickleballJay.com. However, our hosting provider, content management system, embedded third-party content, or other integrated services may use essential cookies or process technical information.

If we introduce analytics, advertising pixels, behavioral tracking, or other non-essential tracking technologies, we will update this policy and provide notices or obtain consent where required by law.

To verify: Check the Website’s actual cookies, scripts, embedded content, and integrations. Do not describe the Website as entirely cookie-free unless this has been confirmed.

6. How We Share Personal Information

We may disclose personal information in the following circumstances, where applicable:

Service providers: We may use providers for Website hosting, email communications, registration, scheduling, payments, customer support, and other business operations.

Business partners: If you submit an inquiry about a partnership, sponsorship, event, or collaboration, we may share relevant information when necessary to respond or when you authorize the disclosure.

Legal obligations and protection: We may disclose information as reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, protect our rights, investigate suspected fraud, enforce agreements, or protect the safety and security of individuals or the Website.

Business transfers: Personal information may be transferred as part of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of assets, subject to applicable law.

With your consent: We may disclose personal information for other purposes when you have been informed and have provided consent where required.

We do not currently use analytics or advertising tracking tools, according to the information provided. Our practices regarding the sale of personal information, sharing for targeted advertising, and other disclosures must be verified before publication.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to inquiries, provide services, manage subscriptions, maintain business records, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations.

Retention periods depend on the type of information, why it was collected, and applicable legal requirements. When information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to delete it or dispose of it securely, subject to legal retention obligations.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We therefore cannot guarantee absolute security. If a data breach occurs, we will take appropriate steps in accordance with applicable law.

9. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to:

  • Request access to personal information we hold about you.

  • Request correction of inaccurate information.

  • Request deletion of personal information, subject to legal exceptions.

  • Request a portable copy of certain information.

  • Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.

  • Unsubscribe from promotional communications.

To verify: Confirm which privacy laws apply to Sports Excellence LLC and whether a dedicated privacy request form, appeal process, or other rights mechanism is required.

10. Children’s Privacy

The Website is not intended to knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 without the protections required by applicable law.

If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 in circumstances requiring parental consent without obtaining that consent, we will take appropriate steps to address the situation, including deleting the information where appropriate.

Parents or legal guardians who believe a child has provided personal information inappropriately may contact us.

Because some pickleball programs or activities may involve young athletes, separate registration, parental consent, and safeguarding requirements may apply.

To verify: Determine whether any Website services are directed to children or knowingly collect personal information from children, and obtain legal review if they do.

11. Third-Party Websites and Services

The Website may contain links to third-party websites, social media platforms, video services, booking systems, payment providers, or other external services.

We do not control the privacy practices of independent third parties. Their collection, use, and disclosure of personal information are governed by their own privacy policies and terms. We encourage you to review those policies before providing information to them.

12. International Visitors

The Website may be accessed by visitors outside the United States. Depending on the providers used and the services requested, personal information may be processed in the United States or other countries where privacy laws may differ from those in your place of residence.

Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, we will take appropriate steps to comply with those requirements.

To verify: Confirm where Website, booking, payment, and email marketing data is hosted and processed.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our business, Website features, service providers, data practices, or legal obligations.
