Kitchen Leagues

Privacy Policy

Last updated August 7, 2026

Kitchen Leagues ("we," "us") runs pickleball leagues and tournaments for clubs. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and your choices. We keep it short and plain.

What we collect

• Mobile phone number — used to sign you in (we text a one-time verification code) and, if you opt in, to send you league updates.
• Profile info you provide — your full name, chosen display name, and an optional profile photo.
• Date of birth — required when you sign yourself up for an event. It is used for age divisions, and to confirm you are old enough to register (you must be 13 or older to sign yourself up; an organizer can add a younger player to a roster directly, which creates no account).
• Skill level — either a rating you tell us, or an estimate from a few questions you answer. Marked as self-reported or estimated, never presented as an official rating.
• League activity — the clubs, leagues, rosters, and scores you're part of.

Your date of birth is not shared with your clubs. Only you (and Kitchen Leagues staff) can see the date itself. When you sign up for an event, the organizer receives your year of birth so they can work out your age for divisions — never your birthday.

When our staff can see your account

To investigate a problem you report — or to test the app before a release — a Kitchen Leagues administrator can sign in as your account and see the screens you see. They cannot do this as another administrator, and they cannot delete your account while doing it.

Every time it happens is recorded, with who did it, whose account, and when. Sessions expire after an hour. If you want to know whether anyone has ever done this to your account, ask us and we will tell you.

How we use it

• To authenticate you and run the leagues, tournaments, and standings you participate in.
• To show your display name (and photo, if you add one) to others in your club.
• To send text messages only if you have opted in — see our SMS Terms.

Text messages & consent

We send SMS only to people who have affirmatively opted in within the app from their own phone. Being added to a club or league by an organizer does not opt you in. You can turn texts off anytime in your profile, or reply STOP to any message. Message and data rates may apply.

What we do NOT do

• We do not sell your personal information.
• We do not share your phone number or SMS opt-in with third parties or affiliates for their marketing. Opt-in consent is never shared.

How it's stored

Data is stored using Google Firebase (Authentication and Cloud Firestore). Access is restricted by security rules; club organizers can see the roster of their own club only.

Your choices

• Texts: opt out anytime in your profile, or reply STOP.
• Your data: update anything in your profile at any time.
• Delete your account yourself: open Profile → Delete my account. You don't need to ask anyone.

Deleting your account

Deleting your account removes your profile (name, photo, date of birth, skill level), the link between your phone number and your account, your club memberships, and your event sign-ups. Your login is deleted too. This cannot be undone.

What stays: scores from nights you played remain on your clubs' scoreboards. Those are the shared record of games other people played as well, and rosters record a name rather than a link to your account — so once your account is gone, a name on an old scoresheet is no longer connected to your phone number, your birthday or any login. If you'd like your name removed from a roster, ask that club's organizer.

If you're the only admin of a club that still has other members, we'll ask you to hand it over or delete the club first — otherwise those members would be left with a club nobody can run.

Contact

For questions or data requests, reply HELP to any text message from us, or reach out to your club's organizer.
