Welcome to https://pickleballplayersnetwork.com. This site (the “Site”) is owned by Pickleball Players Network LLC (“PPN”) and is operated by and on behalf of the PPN. This Privacy Policy is created to tell you about our practices regarding collection, disclosure and use of information that we may collect from and about you. Please be sure to read this Privacy Policy in its entirety before using or submitting information to this Site.
By using this Site, you agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy. Whenever you visit this Site, you consent to the collection, disclosure and use of that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy, the Terms of Use and any specific provisions of this Site that may be presented at the time that information is collected.
The Site is a general audience site. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of eighteen on the Site. If in the future, we collect personally identifiable information from children, we will do so in compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (15 U.S.C. 6501 et seq.). With that being said, PPN only permits players who are eighteen or older to participate in the league.
Similar to many websites, this Site actively collects from its visitors both by asking them specific questions and by permitting them to communicate directly with us via email, feedback forms, social media and so forth. Some of the information that you submit may be personally identifiable information (information that can be uniquely identified with you such as your full name, address, email address, phone number and so forth).
In some areas of this Site, you may need to submit information in order to take advantage of certain features or participate in certain activities. Each information gathering point informs you what information you need and which information is optional.
As you navigate this Site and/or receive emails in relation to this Site, certain information may be passively collected (gathered without you actively providing that information) using a variety of technologies, without limitation, those outlined below:
Cookies
Similar to many Websites, the Site utilizes technology called “cookies,” which are small data files that are transferred to your computer when you authorize your browser to accept cookies. Cookies automatically identify your Web browser to the Site whenever you visit the Site, allowing the Site easier access for you by saving your passwords, purchases, and preferences. By tracking how and when you use the Site, cookies assist us to determine which areas are popular and which are not. Most improvements and updates to the Site are based on data accumulated from cookies. Accepting cookies also allows for you to personalize your experience on the Site. Cookies may also allow the Site to present to you advertising which may be of interest to you. If you choose not to have information collect through the use of cookies, you can opt out of providing this information by turning off the cookies in your Web browser. However, some areas of the Site may not provide you with a personalized experience if you choose to disable the use of cookies.
In order to utilize some of the services offered by PPN, you may be required to register and/or provide personal information, such as name, phone number, email and age (“Registration Data”). Although information may be required to participate in particular activities, participants provide that information voluntarily. The PPN abides by strict data management protocols.
By registering for PPN activities, you agree to: provide accurate, true and complete information about yourself as prompted by the registration form; and regularly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate and complete. You acknowledge and agree that the PPN shall have no liability associated with or arising from your failure to maintain accurate Registration Data, including, but not limited to, your failure to receive critical information about the site or any mobile service or your account. Your registration establishes permission for the PPN and Permitted Third Parties to contact you for promotional and/or marketing purposes. Your relationship with each Permitted Third Party is entirely independent of the PPN and subject to that Permitted Third Party’s terms of use and/or privacy policy. By registering, you acknowledge and agree that PPN does not and cannot control the actions of any Permitted Third Party, and you agree to release and hold harmless PPN from any and all liability, injury, loss, or damage of any kind that may arise from or out of your interaction with such Permitted Third Party.
Use and Disclosure of Information
Except as otherwise stated, PPN may use information that you provide to improve the content of our Site, to directly communicate information to you, to customize the display of the Site to your preferences, for our marketing and research purposes, and for the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy.
We may disclose your personally identifiable information as well as passively collected information to third parties located in the United States and/or any other country:
In addition, we will make full use of all information acquired through this Site that is not in personally identifiable form.
This Site may use third party network advertisers to serve the advertisements that you see. Network advertisers are third parties that display advertisements based on your visits to this Site and other Web sites you have visited. Third-party ad serving enables us to target advertisements to you for products or Web sites you might be interested in. In addition, we may share this information with our sponsors to allow our sponsors and their network advertisers to serve ads based on your interests to you.
Please note that if you choose to opt out, you will still see ads, but these ads will not be customized based on your interests generated from your visits over time and across different Web sites. In addition, the preferences you select on the http://www.aboutads.info/choices page may not apply to mobile devices. Due to the differences between using apps and websites on mobile devices, opt-outs will need to be set for both browsers and apps.
PPN understands that you may want to better understand the information PPN has received about you, to correct your information with PPN, and to limit how PPN may retain and use your personal information.

You may make such a request by emailing info@pickleballplayersnetwork.com. You may also contact PPN at info@pickleballplayersnetwork.com to correct or delete any information that PPN possesses about you or to request that PPN not share your information with the third parties described above. Please note that there are some limitations on these rights. PPN is able to provide your information only with respect to your interactions with PPN Membership programs.
For your security, if your request comes from an email account other than the one PPN has on file for you, PPN may require you to verify your identity through your registered email address or by other means. You may also review and correct your account information, email subscriptions and other preferences by logging into your PPN account using your user ID and password.
There may be some circumstances where PPN may not be able to honor a request to correct or delete your personal information. For example, without limitation, we cannot agree to delete your match data, as it will affect the records of other players, or when it is necessary to protect PPN’s legal rights.
If you would like to opt-out of PPN sharing your information with sponsors and other companies or organizations which we believe may offer products, services, materials or information of interest to you, you may request that we do so by emailing info@pickleballplayersnetwork.com to make such a request.
We will take reasonable steps to protect your personally identifiable information as you transmit your information to our Site and to protect such information from misuse, loss and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use. You should be aware that no Internet transmission is ever entirely secure. For example, email sent to or from this Site may not be secure, and you should therefore take special consideration in deciding what information you send to us via e-mail. Additionally, where you use passwords, usernames, ID numbers or other special access features on this Site, it is your responsibility to safeguard them.
You should be aware that when you are on the Site you could be directed to other sites beyond our jurisdiction. For example, if you "click" on a banner advertisement, the "click" may take you off the Site onto a different Web site. This includes links from sponsors, advertisers and partners that may use the Site’s logo as part of a co-branding agreement. These other Web sites may send their own cookies to you, solicit personal information or independently collect data and may or may not have their own published privacy policies. If you visit a Website that is linked to our Site, you should consult that site’s privacy policy before providing any personal information. Please note that PPN is not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties.
