What we collect
Only what the site needs to work. There is no advertising, no profiling, and your data is never sold.
- Your approximate country, read from your IP address, to choose a language and centre the map. It is used for that request and not stored.
- An anonymous account, created only when you save a favourite, claim a club or send a request - so the site can tell your saved items apart from someone else's.
- Whatever you type into a claim or request form, including the contact email you give us, so we can reply.
- Aggregate page statistics, with no cookies and no cross-site tracking (see below).
Cookies and local storage
Three things are stored on your device. Each one is necessary for a feature you asked for, so none of them require consent.
| Name | Purpose | Stored when | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
| NEXT_LOCALE | Remembers which language to show you. | On your first visit, based on your country - or when you use the language switcher. | Until you close your browser. |
| sb-…-auth-token | Signs you in to your anonymous or registered account, so your favourites and requests are yours. | Only when you save a favourite, claim a club, send a request, or sign in. | Until it expires or you clear it. |
| padel-theme | Remembers whether you chose the light or dark theme. Held in local storage, not a cookie. | Only when you use the theme toggle. | Until you clear your browser storage. |
This is why there is no cookie banner. Consent is required for cookies that are not necessary - tracking, advertising, profiling - and we set none of those. If that ever changes we will ask you first, and nothing non-essential will run until you agree.
Analytics
We use Vercel Web Analytics to count page views. It sets no cookies and cannot follow you to other sites: it derives a temporary identifier from your IP address and browser using a value that is discarded and regenerated every day, so visits cannot be linked back to you, or to each other across days.
Who else processes your data
These providers handle data on our behalf. All processing stays inside the EU, so no international transfer mechanism is needed.
- Vercel - hosting and cookieless analytics · EU (Frankfurt)
- Supabase - database and accounts · EU (Frankfurt, eu-central-1)
- OpenFreeMap - map tiles, which receive your IP address when a map loads · EU
- Resend - delivers the emails you trigger by contacting us · EU (Ireland)
- Cloudflare Turnstile - captcha that keeps spam off our contact form; receives your IP address · Global (EU edge)
Your rights
Under the GDPR you can ask us to:
- give you a copy of the data we hold about you
- correct anything that is wrong
- delete your data and your anonymous account
- restrict how we use it, or object to it
Write to the address above and we will answer within one month. You can also complain to your national data protection authority - the Data State Inspectorate in Latvia, the State Data Protection Inspectorate in Lithuania, or the Data Protection Inspectorate in Estonia.
