Privacy

what we hold.

This is an Article 13 notice for the independent Irish padel guide at playpadel.ie. It is not legal advice. A solicitor should review it before any advertising. We are not a booking platform; court booking happens on Playtomic, MATCHi, or a club site you open yourself.

Controller identity

Published by Jorge Ferreira, a natural person. PlayPadel.ie is not a CRO-registered company and Jorge is not registered as a sole trader, so there is no company name, CRO number, or registered office to publish. No postal address is published. Contact: hello@playpadel.ie, or the form on /contact. If a limited company is later registered, Companies Act 2014 s.151 will require the company name, number and registered office on the site.

Contact channels: hello@playpadel.ie or the form on /contact.

Purposes

  • Answer a message you send via the contact or event-suggest forms.
  • Review a community suggestion you submit.
  • Operate and host the website (security, errors, uptime).
  • Measure traffic with Vercel Analytics / Speed Insights (no accounts).
  • Draw a map of venues or community groups when a map tile key is configured.

Legal bases

  • Forms you submit: your request to be contacted or to suggest a listing (Art. 6(1)(b) or 6(1)(a), depending on the form).
  • Hosting, security logs, and map tiles: operating the site (Art. 6(1)(f)).
  • Analytics scripts: operating and improving the site (Art. 6(1)(f)), subject to the cookie inspect on /cookies.

Types of data

  • Contact / tournament suggest: name, email, message, and any club or event details you type.
  • Community suggest: name, email, listing fields, optional URL, and a Turnstile token.
  • Automatically: IP address, user-agent, pages requested, timestamps (host and CDNs).
  • Level test / plan / progress: stay in your browser or in the share link you copy. We do not run user accounts.

Recipients

  • Vercel — hosts the site. Request IP reaches Vercel.
  • Formspark (submit-form.com, form id YvzuARuFs) — contact and tournament suggestions.
  • Cloudflare Turnstile — spam check on community suggestions when a site key is set.
  • Notification webhook — only if COMMUNITY_SUGGEST_WEBHOOK_URL is configured by the operator. If it is not, the API refuses the suggestion (fail closed).
  • OSM/CDN IP — when a map is drawn, Leaflet requests tiles and your IP address is sent to the map-tile CDN (MapTiler if a key is set; that stack is OpenStreetMap-based). Cookies on that CDN are unknown. If no map key is configured, we do not load tiles and do not send your IP to a tile CDN. Leaflet does not keep that IP on playpadel.ie.
  • Outbound sites you choose to open (Playtomic, MATCHi, club booking pages, Google Maps, VOLA). Those controllers are not us.

Retention

  • Form submissions: until the request is handled, then deleted or kept only as needed to fix a listing.
  • Host logs: the host's default (typically days, not years).
  • Browser-only test/plan codes: until you clear site data.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you can ask for access, correction, erasure, restriction, objection, and portability, and you can withdraw consent where we relied on it. Use hello@playpadel.ie or the contact form.

Complaints

You can complain to the Data Protection Commission (Ireland): dataprotection.ie. This notice does not claim UK GDPR or the ICO.
