Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 5, 2026

Driftwood Pickleball ("we", "our", "us") provides tournament registration and event management services. This page explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your choices.

Information We Collect

• Account data from your sign-in provider (such as email and user ID).
• Profile data you provide (display name and linked DUPR information, if connected).
• Tournament data (registrations, teams, scores, and event participation history).
• Basic technical logs needed for security and service operation.

How We Use Information

• Operate and improve tournament registration and scoring features.
• Display tournament participation and results to users.
• Prevent misuse and maintain platform security.
• Respond to support and account requests.

Google Calendar Data (Optional)

If you sign in with Google and enable Google Calendar sync, we request Google Calendar write access (https://www.googleapis.com/auth/calendar.events) so we can create and manage event entries for tournaments you register for.

• When enabled, we create or update a Google Calendar event for your registered tournament.
• If you unregister (or are removed), we attempt to delete the corresponding Google Calendar event.
• We store only the minimum mapping needed to manage sync (your user ID, tournament ID, and Google event ID).
• We do not sell Google data, and we do not use Google Calendar data for advertising.

Google API Services User Data Disclosure

Driftwood Pickleball's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We use Google Calendar data only to provide user-requested calendar sync features in the Driftwood app, and Gmail Compose access only to create a user-requested unsent notification draft from the master-admin tools.

• We do not use Google Calendar data for advertising or marketing profiling.
• We do not sell Google Calendar data.
• We do not use Google Calendar data to train generalized AI/ML models.
• Google authentication and consent are handled by Google OAuth via Clerk; Driftwood never receives your Google password.

Gmail Notification Drafts (Optional Master-admin Tool)

The master-admin notification tool can request Gmail Compose access (https://www.googleapis.com/auth/gmail.compose) to create an unsent Gmail draft containing event notifications. The draft includes a plain-text alternative and named HTML links such as Google Maps; Driftwood does not send the message.

• This access is available only to the configured master admin.
• We do not read, search, or modify existing Gmail messages.
• We do not store Gmail message content, access tokens, or refresh tokens in Driftwood.
• You can revoke Google access at any time from your Google account permissions; the plain-text compose option remains available.

Google Calendar Controls and Deletion

• You can turn Google Calendar sync on or off at any time from your profile.
• You can revoke Driftwood access in your Google account permissions at any time.
• You can request deletion of account data (including stored calendar sync mappings) by contacting us.

Storage and Retention for Google Calendar Data

• We keep only the event mapping data needed to maintain sync (user ID, tournament ID, Google event ID, and sync timestamps).
• Calendar mapping data is removed when practical if you unregister, disable sync, revoke Google access, or request account deletion.
• Operational logs may temporarily contain technical error details needed to support reliability and security.

DUPR Partner Requests

If you mark your team as needing a partner, your email address may be shown as a contact link on the tournament registration list and is publicly accessible to site visitors.

Sharing

We do not sell personal information. We share data only with service providers needed to run the platform (for example authentication, hosting, and database infrastructure).

Data Retention

We retain account and tournament data as needed to operate the service and maintain event history, unless a deletion request is submitted.

Your Rights

You may request access, correction, or deletion of your personal data by contacting us at [email protected]. You may also use our deletion guidance at /data-deletion.

License and Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise noted, Driftwood Pickleball source code, site design, and content are proprietary and licensed under /LICENSE. Third-party names, logos, and marks remain the property of their respective owners.
