Who we are
Pickleball Nook (“Pickleball Nook)” operates PickleballNook.com and may operate other websites as well. It is Pickleball Nook’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Pickleball Nook collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Pickleball Nook’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand
how Pickleball Nook’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Pickleball Nook may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Comments
Pickleball Nook also collects potentially personally-identifying nformation like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users and for users leaving comments on PickleballNook.com blogs/sites. Pickleball Nook only discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that it uses and discloses personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the blog/site where the comment was left.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Cookies
A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. Pickleball Nook uses cookies to help identify and track visitors, their usage of our website, and their website access preferences. Pickleball Nook visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Pickleball Nook’s website, with the drawback that certain features of our websites may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
