4. Service providers and third parties
We use third-party companies to help operate the Service. They process data only as needed to provide their services to us (or as described in their own policies):
| Provider | Role |
|---|---|
| Cloudflare | Hosting, CDN, DNS, security, and performance |
| Formspree | Contact form delivery |
| Disqus | Article comments |
| Google Analytics | Site analytics |
| Font / CDN providers | Serving fonts, icons, or scripts used on the site |
These providers have their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review them. When you interact with comments or other embedded third-party features, those providers may collect data directly from your browser under their terms.
We may also disclose information if required by law, legal process, or to protect rights, safety, and security.
5. Retention
- Contact messages — retained as long as needed to respond and for reasonable business records
- Comments — retained while the comment system and thread remain active, subject to moderation
- Usage / analytics data — retained according to our analytics provider settings and our operational needs
We delete or anonymize personal data when it is no longer needed, unless a longer period is required by law.
6. International transfers
We are based in the United States. Service providers may process data in the U.S. and other countries. By using the Service, you understand that your information may be transferred to jurisdictions with different data-protection rules than your own.
7. Security
We use commercially reasonable safeguards (including HTTPS and infrastructure security provided by our hosts). No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Children’s privacy
The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
Tennis training content may be of interest to families; parents and coaches remain responsible for how minors use the Website.
