Privacy Policy

Scope

This Privacy Policy describes how Groovy Pickleball Community ("we", "us") collects, uses, and shares information in connection with our events, website, and social channels (collectively, the “Services”).

What We Collect

We collect only what is needed to operate and improve the Services, such as basic contact details you choose to provide, attendance information, and limited technical data (like device/browser metadata). We do not sell personal information.

How We Use Information

• Run events and communicate logistics (time, location, updates).
• Operate and improve the website and community experience.
• Showcase community moments across our social channels.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms.

Media and Event Photography

Events may include photography and video. By attending, you consent to being photographed/recorded and authorize use of your likeness, voice, and statements in any media for community and promotional purposes, without compensation or further notice.

Third‑Party Services

We may use third‑party tools (e.g., ticketing, analytics, social platforms). These providers have their own privacy practices; we are not responsible for their policies. Review their terms and policies before using those services.

Data Retention

We retain information only as long as needed for the purposes described or as required by law, then delete or de‑identify it.

Security

We use reasonable safeguards, but no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot and do not guarantee absolute security and are not liable for unauthorized access beyond our reasonable control.

Children’s Privacy

Our Services are intended for general audiences. Minors should only participate with parent/guardian consent, and guardians are responsible for minors’ information and participation.

Your Choices

You may request updates or deletion of certain information where feasible and permitted by law. For image takedown requests from public posts, contact us via our social channels; we will assess what is reasonably possible.

Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy at any time. Changes are effective when posted. Your continued use of the Services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance.

Governing Law

This Policy is governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict‑of‑law principles, and is subject to our Terms & Conditions.
