Privacy Policy

Overview

PadelSage (“we”, “us”) publishes padel racket buying guides, a racket database, and a racket-finder quiz at padelsage.com. This policy explains what information is collected when you visit the site, how it's used, and the choices available to you.

Information we collect

PadelSage does not require an account and does not collect personal information you don't choose to give us (for example, by contacting us directly). The site does automatically collect limited technical data through:

• Analytics: aggregated, non-identifying usage data (pages viewed, approximate location at country/region level, device type) used to understand which content is useful and to improve the site.
• Cookies and local storage: small files stored in your browser. PadelSage uses local storage to remember your light/dark theme preference, and may use cookies set by third-party services described below.
• Racket Finder quiz answers: your quiz answers are processed in your browser to generate racket recommendations and are not saved on a server or linked to your identity.

Affiliate links and tracking

PadelSage participates in affiliate programs, including with JustPaddles and PadelNuestro, as disclosed in the footer of every page. When you click a “View deal” link to a retailer, that retailer (or their affiliate network) places a tracking cookie or uses a similar method to record that the visit came from PadelSage, so we can earn a commission if you make a purchase — at no extra cost to you. We do not control how these third-party retailers handle the data their tracking collects; review their own privacy policies for details.

Advertising

PadelSage displays ads to help fund the site. Ad providers (such as Google AdSense, once active) may use cookies or similar technology to serve relevant ads and measure performance. Where required, we will provide a consent mechanism for ad personalization in regions that require it (e.g. under GDPR).

Your choices

You can clear or block cookies and local storage through your browser settings at any time. Doing so may reset your theme preference and any ad personalization, but will not affect your ability to browse the site.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site or its monetization (ads, affiliate programs) changes. Material changes will be reflected by updating the date at the top of this page.

Questions about this policy can be sent via the contact page. [TODO: add real contact email once available.]
