Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 2026.
Who we are
PadelCritic (padelcritic.com) publishes independent padel racket reviews, buying guides and news. This policy explains what data we collect, why, and what choices you have. If you have questions, contact us at padelcritic@padelcritic.com.
What we collect
- Newsletter: if you subscribe, we store your email address (via MailPoet) to send new reviews and guides. You confirm your subscription by email (double opt-in) and can unsubscribe at any time — every email includes an unsubscribe link.
- Analytics: we use Google Analytics to understand which pages are read and how the site is used. This sets cookies and shares data with Google.
- Advertising: we show ads via Google AdSense, which may use cookies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings.
- Server logs: like most websites, our hosting provider automatically logs technical data (IP address, browser, pages requested) for security and performance.
- Language preference: a cookie remembers whether you’re browsing in English or Portuguese.
We don’t require an account to read the site, and comments are turned off — so we don’t collect comment data.
Affiliate links
Some links to rackets and gear are affiliate links. If you buy through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This never affects our scores or verdicts — see our About page for how we test.
Embedded content
Some pages embed content from Instagram. If you interact with an embed, that platform may collect data about you under its own privacy policy.
Your rights
You can ask us what personal data we hold about you, ask us to correct or delete it, or unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. Email padelcritic@padelcritic.com and we’ll respond as soon as we can.
This policy may be updated as the site changes. Significant changes will be reflected in the “Last updated” date above.
