Privacy Policy

Overview

Pickleball Chat (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is a personal blog operated by ROCHTECH LLC. This privacy policy explains what information we collect when you visit pickleballchat.com, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.

Information We Collect

We collect information in two ways:

Information you provide. If you use the contact form, we collect your name and email address so we can respond to your message. We do not add you to any mailing list without your explicit consent.

Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we collect standard log data including your IP address, browser type, referring page, and pages visited. We may also use cookies and similar technologies to understand how visitors use the site. This data is used in aggregate to improve the site and is not used to identify individuals.

Third-Party Services

We use a small number of third-party services to operate this site. Each has its own privacy policy:

• Google Analytics — site traffic and usage statistics
• Cloudinary — image hosting and delivery
• Vercel — website hosting and infrastructure

We do not sell or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

Cookies

We use cookies for analytics purposes only. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some parts of the site may not function as intended if you do so.

Data Retention

Contact form submissions are retained only as long as necessary to respond to your inquiry. Analytics data is retained according to the default retention settings of the analytics provider.

Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal data we hold about you by contacting us at the address below. We will respond within 30 days.

Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The effective date at the top of this page will reflect when the policy was last revised. Continued use of the site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
