Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

1. Who we are

Padel Rules (padel-rules.com) is an independent information website about padel regulations, operated by Upcloud Lda (NIF PT514564016). In this policy, "we", "us", and "our" refer to Upcloud Lda.

2. What information we collect

We collect two types of information:

Analytics data

We use Umami Analytics, a privacy-friendly, cookie-free analytics tool, to understand how visitors use our site. Umami collects:

  • Pages visited
  • Referring website
  • Browser type and operating system (aggregated)
  • Country of visit (derived from IP address, which is not stored)

Umami does not use cookies, does not track you across websites, and does not store personally identifiable information. Your IP address is never stored or logged.

No personal data collection

We do not run contact forms, user accounts, or comment systems. We do not collect your name, email address, or any other personal data.

3. Cookies

This website does not use cookies for tracking or analytics. See our Cookie Policy for full details.

4. Third-party services

We may use the following third-party services:

  • Umami Analytics — privacy-first analytics. No cross-site tracking, no cookies, no personal data stored.
  • Amazon Associates and Awin/Padel Market — where product links appear on this site, they may be affiliate links from the Amazon Associates programme or from the Awin affiliate network (with Padel Market as a programme partner). Clicking these links sends you to the respective retailer's website, where that site's own privacy policy applies. We may earn a small commission if you make a purchase through these links at no extra cost to you.
  • Awin / Padel Market — affiliate network and partner store. When you click a Padel Market affiliate link, Awin may set a tracking cookie on your browser (on their domain, not ours) to attribute any resulting purchase. Awin's privacy policy applies: awin.com/gb/legal/privacy-policy

5. Data retention

We do not store personal data. Anonymised analytics data (page views, referrers) is retained for up to 24 months to understand site usage trends.

6. Your rights

Since we do not collect personal data, there is no personal data to access, correct, or delete. If you have questions about data collected by third-party services (Umami, Amazon), please refer to their respective privacy policies.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
