Visiting this site
This site is hosted by Vercel Inc. (USA). When you open a page, Vercel's servers process technical data such as your IP address, the time and the page requested, to deliver the site and keep it secure. Legal basis: my legitimate interest in running a working, secure site (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Vercel keeps these request logs for a short time only (one hour on the plan this site uses). Until you play a video, this site sets no cookies and loads no external fonts or scripts (see Videos).
Visitor statistics
I use Vercel Web Analytics to count visits: which pages are viewed, the referring site, country, device type and browser. It works without cookies, stores nothing on your device and keeps no personal profiles; visitors are told apart only by an anonymous hash of the request that is reset every day, so visits cannot be linked across days or sites. I cannot see who you are. Legal basis: my legitimate interest in knowing which sessions are used (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The statistics are kept for at least one month.
Speed measurement
I use Vercel Speed Insights to see how fast the pages load. On each page load your browser reports its loading times (Web Vitals) together with the page, network speed, browser, device type, operating system and country. It works without cookies and is not tied to you, your IP address or the other pages you visit. Legal basis: my legitimate interest in a site that loads quickly on the court (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Videos
Each drill shows a video from YouTube (Google) that plays right on the page. Nothing is loaded from YouTube until you tap it, and if you never tap, no data goes to YouTube. When you tap, the player loads from youtube-nocookie.com: Google receives your IP address and device data, may store data in your browser while the video plays, and may show ads. Legal basis: your consent, given by tapping (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, § 25(1) TDDDG). If your browser has JavaScript switched off, the tap opens the video on YouTube instead, where YouTube's privacy policy applies.
Feedback form
The feedback link at the end of each session opens a form at Tally (Tally BV, Belgium). Data goes to Tally only if you click that link. The form records which session you played and your answers; your email address is optional. Please do not enter names. Answers are stored at Tally in the EU, where only I, the operator of this site, can read them, and are used only to improve the sessions and, if you leave your email address, to reply to you. Legal basis: your consent, given by sending the form (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Answers are deleted once they are no longer needed for that purpose, at the latest after two years.
If you email me, for example with the drill request button, your address and message reach my Gmail account (Google). I use them only to answer you and delete them once your request is dealt with. Legal basis: my legitimate interest in replying (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Transfers outside the EU
Vercel and Google are based in the USA. Both are certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which the EU Commission recognises as providing an adequate level of protection (Art. 45 GDPR).
Your rights
You can ask what I store about you and have it corrected, deleted or restricted, object to processing based on my legitimate interest, and withdraw a consent at any time with effect for the future (Art. 15 to 21 GDPR). Write to pickleballinberlin@gmail.com. You can also complain to a data protection authority, in Berlin the Berliner Beauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit.
You do not have to give any data to use this site. There is no automated decision-making or profiling.
