Privacy Policy

Effective date: 01 January 2026

Who we are

PaddleIndex is an Australian (NSW) website that provides read-only product comparisons and reference information for pickleball paddles.

What we collect

• Analytics data: We use a privacy-friendly analytics tool (currently Vercel Analytics) to understand page views and general usage. This may change over time.
• Cookies and tracking: We do not use marketing cookies. Our analytics provider may use first-party cookies or non-cookie tracking.
• Server logs: Our hosting provider collects standard logs (for example IP address, user agent, timestamps, and pages requested) for security and reliability.

How we use data

We use technical data to operate the site, keep it secure, and improve content accuracy and usability.

Data sources and accuracy

Content on PaddleIndex is compiled from publicly available manufacturer and retailer pages and manual curation. Prices are not real-time and are for informational purposes only. We do our best to keep information accurate, but we cannot guarantee it.

Third-party links

We link to third-party websites (brands and retailers). Their sites have their own privacy policies and data practices. We are not responsible for those sites.

Data sharing

We do not sell personal data. We share limited technical data with our hosting and analytics providers as needed to run the site.

Data security

We use reasonable measures to protect the site and its data. No internet transmission is completely secure.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
