Privacy Policy

Effective Date: July 22, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Joe C. Montgomery, operating "Your Brain on Pickleball" ("we," "us," or "our"), collects, uses, and protects information obtained from visitors to yourbrainonpickleball.com (the "Site") and from clients of our private pickleball coaching services. By using the Site, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

1. Who We Are

Your Brain on Pickleball is a sole proprietorship owned and operated by Joe C. Montgomery, based in the United States, offering private pickleball coaching services. If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, you can contact us using the information in Section 10 below.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

  • Information you provide directly. When you fill out a contact form, request a coaching session, sign up for a newsletter, or otherwise communicate with us through the Site, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, and any other information you choose to include in your message.
  • Automatically collected information. When you visit the Site, our hosting provider and any analytics tools we use may automatically collect certain technical information, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring URLs, pages viewed, and the dates/times of your visits.
  • Cookies and similar technologies. The Site may use cookies or similar tracking technologies to operate correctly and to understand how visitors use the Site (see Section 5, "Cookies," below).

We do not process, collect, or store any payment or billing information through the Site. No payments are taken on the Site. Any fees for coaching services are arranged and collected separately, outside of the Site.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for purposes such as:

  • Responding to inquiries and scheduling or administering coaching sessions;
  • Communicating with you about our services, including confirmations, reminders, and updates;
  • Improving and maintaining the Site;
  • Understanding how visitors use the Site so we can improve content and user experience;
  • Complying with legal obligations and protecting our legal rights.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information with:

  • Service providers who help us operate the Site or our business (for example, website hosting providers, email service providers, or scheduling tools), and who are only permitted to use your information to provide those services to us;
  • Legal and safety purposes, if required to comply with a law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Joe C. Montgomery, our clients, or others.

We do not knowingly share your information with third parties for their own independent marketing purposes.

5. Cookies

The Site may use cookies — small text files stored on your device — to help the Site function properly and to collect basic analytics about how visitors use the Site (for example, through tools such as Google Analytics). You can set your browser to refuse cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. If you disable cookies, some parts of the Site may not function as intended.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect the information we collect from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to respond to inquiries, provide coaching services, and comply with legal obligations, after which it is deleted or de-identified.

8. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your state of residence, you may have rights regarding your personal information, which may include the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you, and the right to opt out of certain uses of your information. For example, residents of California and certain other states may have specific rights under applicable state privacy laws. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information in Section 10 below. We will respond to verifiable requests as required by applicable law.

You may also unsubscribe from any promotional emails by following the unsubscribe instructions included in those emails.

9. Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the Site. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information without parental consent, please contact us so we can remove it. Coaching services for minors are arranged directly with a parent or guardian, not through the collection of information on the Site.
