Privacy Policy
Last updated: 10 June 2026
Who we are
pikl.in is an independent guide to pickleball in India, including our coverage of the Pickleball World Cup 2026. This policy explains what data is collected when you visit the site and the choices you have. Questions: hello@pikl.in.
What we collect
We don't ask you to create an account, and we don't collect names, phone numbers, or payment details. We use Google Analyticsto understand how the site is used — pages visited, approximate location (city level), device and browser type. This data is aggregated and doesn't identify you personally.
Advertising & cookies
We use Google AdSenseto show ads. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to show you ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.
- You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings.
- You can opt out of some other third-party vendors' cookies at aboutads.info.
- You can also block or delete cookies entirely in your browser settings — the site works fine without them.
Affiliate links
Some pages — for example our Da Nang accommodation guide — contain affiliate links to booking sites such as Agoda. If you book through one of these links we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. We don't pass any of your personal data to these sites; the booking relationship is between you and them, under their own privacy policies.
Functional cookies
The password-protected coaching area sets a single cookie (coach_token) so you stay signed in. It identifies a session, not a person, and isn't used for tracking or advertising.
External links
We link out to official event sites, governing bodies, and booking platforms. Once you leave pikl.in, those sites' own privacy policies apply.
Children
The site is general-audience sports content and is not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top. Material changes will be noted on the homepage.
