Privacy policy
Pickleball Bay Area is a static, no-account site. This page explains the little data that passes through it, in plain language.
This site is hosted on GitHub Pages. GitHub, not us, receives standard server logs for every request (IP address, browser type, page requested) as part of running the hosting infrastructure. We don't have access to that log data ourselves. See GitHub's own privacy statement for what they do with it.
There's no login and no user accounts. As of July 2026, this site uses Google Analytics 4 to see aggregate traffic — which pages get visited, roughly how people found the site, general location and device type. It doesn't identify you personally, and we don't run any ad network or tracking pixel beyond it. Google Analytics sets its own cookies and is subject to Google's privacy policy. If you'd rather not be counted, the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on blocks it.
The correction form is handled by a third-party form service, Formspree. If you submit a correction, the details you enter (and your email address, if you choose to include one so we can reply) are sent through Formspree to us. We use it only to review and act on the correction — we don't add you to a list or share it elsewhere. See Formspree's privacy policy for how they handle that data in transit.
The Find your paddle quiz asks for your email address before showing your results. That email, your quiz answers, and the paddles you were matched to are stored in our Firestore database (Google Cloud) as a write-only record — visible to us, never displayed back on the site or accessible to other visitors. We use it to show you your results and to occasionally email you about new paddle drops or deals; every such email includes an unsubscribe option. We don't sell or share this list with third parties.
This site links out to city recreation department pages, booking systems, retailers, and other third-party sites (for example, on the gear & rentals page). Once you click through, you're subject to that site's own privacy practices and cookies, not ours. Some outbound links may in the future be affiliate links, meaning we could earn a small commission if you make a purchase after clicking — if and when that's the case, it'll be disclosed on the page where the link appears, and this policy will be updated to match.
This site isn't directed at children and doesn't knowingly collect information from anyone under 13.
If what this site collects or how it's shared changes, this page will be updated to reflect that, with a new date below.
Last updated: July 2026. Questions about this policy can be sent through the correction form.
