LEGAL – PRIVACY

---

AceWhisperer is a small, independent site run by one tennis parent in Sydney, Australia. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit, how we use it, and what rights you have over it.

There’s no marketing team behind this. No data brokers. No creepy tracking beyond what’s standard for any website. Here’s exactly what’s going on.

Plain language summary: We collect basic analytics data to understand how the site is performing. We don’t sell your data. We don’t build profiles on you. We don’t send unsolicited emails. That’s it.

AceWhisperer is operated by an individual based in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The site is published at acewhisperer.com and covers junior tennis gear, padel, pickleball, and related topics for tennis parents and junior players.

For privacy-related questions, you can reach us via the About page on this site.

We collect two types of information — information you give us directly, and information collected automatically when you visit.

• If you contact us via a form or email, we receive your name and email address
• If you leave a comment on the site, we collect the name and email you submit
• We don’t run a newsletter or collect email addresses for marketing at this time

INFORMATION COLLECTED AUTOMATICALLY

• Pages visited and time spent on the site (via analytics tools)
• General location data at country or city level — not your precise address
• Device type, browser, and operating system
• Referring website (e.g. Google search, a link from another site)

We do not collect your name, email address, or any identifying information through analytics unless you voluntarily provide it.

• To understand which content is useful and what to write more of
• To monitor site performance and fix technical issues
• To respond to any messages or questions you send us
• To comply with legal obligations

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party. Ever.

Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. AceWhisperer uses cookies in the following ways:

• Analytics cookies — to track page views and understand how visitors navigate the site (e.g. Google Analytics or similar)
• Affiliate cookies — when you click a product link, the retailer (e.g. Amazon) may set a cookie to track the referral and attribute any commission earned
• WordPress functional cookies — if you’re logged into WordPress as an admin, standard session cookies are used

AceWhisperer uses a small number of third-party tools to run the site. Each has its own privacy policy:

• WordPress — the platform this site is built on (automattic.com/privacy)
• Google Analytics — website traffic analytics (policies.google.com/privacy)
• Amazon Associates — affiliate program; Amazon may set cookies on your device when you click our links (amazon.com/privacy)
• Cloudflare — if used for site performance and security, they process request data (cloudflare.com/privacypolicy)

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review their individual policies.

Some links on AceWhisperer are affiliate links. When you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. These links are always disclosed — either on this page, on our Affiliate Disclosure page, or directly next to the link itself.

Affiliate relationships never influence what we recommend. If we wouldn’t buy it for our own kid, it won’t appear on this site.

AceWhisperer is written for parents and adult readers, not for children directly. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 13. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through this site, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

Depending on where you are located, you may have rights over your personal data. Under Australian Privacy Law (Privacy Act 1988) and applicable international regulations including GDPR, these may include:

• The right to access the personal data we hold about you
• The right to request correction of inaccurate data
• The right to request deletion of your data
• The right to object to or restrict how we process your data
• The right to data portability (where applicable)

To exercise any of these rights, reach out via our About page. We’ll respond within 30 days.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time — for example, if we add new features, change the tools we use, or if regulations require it. When we do, we’ll update the date at the bottom of this page. We won’t notify you individually of minor changes, but significant changes will be noted clearly.

Continued use of the site after any change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy — or want to exercise your data rights — you can reach us via the About page. We’re a one-person operation, so responses may take a few days, but we’ll always get back to you.
