Privacy Policy

Overview

LittlePickle helps local pickleball communities manage leagues, court queues, matches, and player rotations. This Privacy Policy explains the information LittlePickle (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles when you use our mobile app, website, and related services.

We do not sell personal information, serve behavioral advertising, or use your activity to track you across other companies’ apps or websites.

Information we collect

Account and league administration

If you create or administer a league, we may collect your email address, authentication identifier, league name, league location description, number of courts, and administrative role. We use your email to verify your account and may send league QR codes or service messages.

Player profile information

A player profile may include a display name, optional profile photo, rating, league association, and profile identifiers. Player profiles are shared league records so that league participants can identify players and manage the same live court queue from more than one device.

Play and queue activity

We process league membership, queue position, session participation, match teams, court assignment, match start and completion times, scores or winners, pass events, match recommendations, and rating changes. This information is needed to operate the queue, recommend fair matches, keep match history, and calculate player ratings.

Information stored on your device

The app stores the selected player profile and recently used league details on your device so you can return to your league more easily. You can remove local app data by deleting the app or clearing its storage through your device settings.

Device permissions

• Camera: used only when you choose to scan a LittlePickle league QR code.
• Photo library: used when you choose a profile picture. We receive only the image you select, not your full photo library.
• Save to photos: used when you choose to save a league QR code to your photo library.

Service and security data

Our service providers may process network information such as IP address, request time, error details, and security logs when your device connects to LittlePickle. We use this information to deliver, protect, maintain, and troubleshoot the service.

How we use information

• Provide authentication, league administration, court queues, matches, scores, and profiles.
• Generate match recommendations and maintain player ratings and match history.
• Send verification codes, league QR codes, support replies, and important service messages.
• Prevent abuse, protect accounts, diagnose problems, and improve reliability.
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

How information is shared

We share information only as needed to operate LittlePickle:

• Within your league: player names, profile photos, ratings, queue status, teams, scores, and match history may be visible to league participants or administrators.
• Service providers: Supabase provides authentication, database, and file storage. Hosting and email-delivery providers process data needed to run the service and deliver messages.
• Legal and safety: we may disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to valid legal process, protect rights or safety, or investigate misuse.
• Business changes: information may transfer as part of a merger, financing, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, subject to this policy and applicable law.

Providers that process personal information for us are expected to protect it consistently with this policy and applicable law.

Retention and deletion

We retain information for as long as needed to provide LittlePickle, maintain league and match records, protect the service, and meet legal obligations.

When a player selects Delete profile in the app, the profile becomes unavailable immediately and enters a 30-day recovery period. During that period, support or a league administrator can restore it. After 30 days, LittlePickle replaces the display name with “Deleted player,” removes the profile photo, resets the profile rating, and deletes the player’s rating-change ledger. Match participation may remain in an anonymized form so league match history continues to work.

When a user selects Delete account in the app, the authentication account is disabled immediately. After 30 days, LittlePickle permanently removes the Supabase authentication record, private account profile, league memberships, and profile images owned by the account. Some operational, security, backup, anonymized shared-league, or legally required records may remain for a limited period after deletion.

See our Account Deletion page for instructions and more detail.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or receive a copy of personal information, or to object to certain processing. You can edit a player name or photo in the app and can delete a player profile from the Profile screen.

To make another privacy request, emailsupport@joinlittlepickle.com. We may need to verify your identity and relationship to the relevant league before completing a request.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. No internet service or storage system can guarantee absolute security.

Children’s privacy

LittlePickle is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can review and delete it as appropriate.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as LittlePickle changes. We will post the revised policy here and update the date above. If a change materially affects how we use personal information, we will provide additional notice when required.
