  • To our partners and third-party service providers that perform services on our behalf such as marketing companies, web-hosting companies, analytics providers and information technology providers. In these circumstances contractual and other technical and security safeguards will be put in place with the partner or service provider, including to ensure that your personal information is processed only in accordance with this Notice.

  • To our employees where required or necessary for the performance of their duties and in line with the reasons for processing. Our employees are required to keep that information confidential and are not permitted to use it for any purposes other than to enable you to use the services or to deal with requests that you submit to us.

We do not sell, rent, or otherwise share personal information that reasonably identifies you or your organisation with unaffiliated entities for their independent use except as expressly described in this Notice or with your prior permission. We may share information that does not reasonably identify you or your organisation as permitted by applicable law.

When you voluntarily make your personal information available online in an environment shared by third parties (for example, on messaging applications, social media, message boards, web logs, or emails), that personal information may be viewed, saved, collected, heard, used and/or shared by others. We are not responsible for any unauthorised third-party use of information provided in these situations. Please be mindful whenever you share any information in such environments.

Grounds for using your personal information

We rely on the following legal grounds to process your personal information, namely:

  • The necessity for the performance of a contract.
  • Legal obligation – We may process your personal information as may be required to comply with any legal or regulatory obligations that may apply to us.
  • Legitimate interests – We may use your personal information for our legitimate interests to improve our services.
  • Consent – To withdraw your consent to such use, you can contact info@pickleball.ky. Where required by applicable laws, we will rely on your consent for direct marketing and to collect information from your device or computer.
Third-party services and content

Our Website may include integrated content or links to content provided by third parties (such as video materials, social media content, plug-ins and applications).

Please note that the websites, applications and services of third parties (including affiliates, partners, sponsors, advertisers or other persons) will be governed by the privacy settings, policies, and/or procedures of the third party, which may differ from this Notice. This Notice does not address, and we are not responsible for or able to control, the privacy, security, or other practices of such third parties.

Protection and storage of the information we collect

We deploy administrative, technical and physical safeguards designed to comply with applicable legal requirements to safeguard the information that we collect. This includes, when required or appropriate and feasible, obtaining written assurances from third parties that may access your personal information that they will protect the information with safeguards designed to provide a level of protection equivalent to that adopted by us. We are not responsible for the security of information you transmit to us over networks that we do not control, including the internet and any wireless networks.

We may store the information we collect in on our servers both cloud-based or in servers located in countries where we or our service providers have facilities. Therefore, we may transfer information to countries outside of your country of residence which may have data protection laws and regulations that differ from those in your country.

We retain the information we collect for no longer than is reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collect the information and to comply with our legal obligations.

Your choices and rights

To withdraw your consent to the use of your information as described in this Notice you can contact us through the methods stated below. Please note that in some circumstances this may mean that we can no longer provide our services to you.

If you no longer wish to receive marketing communications from us, you can also let us know via the methods stated below. The electronic marketing communications we send to you also contain opt-out mechanisms that allow you to opt out from receiving those communications, update your contact information or change your preferences at any time. We will honour your choice and refrain from sending you such announcements. You may also opt back in to receive those communications at any time.

Under local law, you may have certain rights regarding the personal information that we have collected, including that EU residents have the right to request: (i) access to your personal information, (ii) rectification or erasure of personal information, (iii) restriction of processing concerning you and (iv) objection to processing that is based upon our legitimate interests. Your ability to exercise these rights will depend on a number of factors and, in some instances, we will not be able to comply with your request, for example, because we have legitimate grounds for not doing so or where the right doesn’t apply to the particular information we hold on you. Where so entitled to access your personal information, you will not have to pay a fee unless your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive (upon which we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to comply with your request). If you would like to discuss or exercise the rights you may have, you can contact us through the methods stated below.

It is important that any personal information we hold about you is accurate and current

Please keep us informed if your personal information changes whilst we continue to retain such information. We encourage you to contact us to update or correct your information if it changes or if you believe that any information that we have collected about you is inaccurate or out of date. You can also ask us to see what personal information we hold about you and to erase your personal information if it is no longer required. You may also tell us if you object to our use of your personal information.

How to contact us

If you would like to contact us regarding this Notice or to withdraw your consent to this Notice or any aspect of it, please send us an email at info@pickleball.ky.

We try to respond to all legitimate enquiries within 30 days. Occasionally it may take us longer if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
