Paddit ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how we collect, use, and share your information. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding personal data when you use our padel court booking platform and mobile application (collectively, the "Service").

  • Location data is only collected when you actively use location-based features

  • You can disable location services at any time through your browser or device settings
