Disclosure: Some pages include ads and affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and buy something, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. That helps keep this local guide free.
Who we are
NKY Pickleball is an informational website for the domain nkypickleball.us. It helps people in Boone, Kenton, and Campbell counties find courts, understand the game, and join local play.
What we collect
We do not run user accounts, profiles, or a membership database. Court “saves” and gear checklists are stored in your browser on this device only. Clearing site data removes them.
We do not sell your name, email, or a player list. We do use third-party tools that can collect technical data (described below) so we can understand traffic, show ads, and credit purchases made through affiliate links.
Technical data
Like most websites, the host may receive standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages requested, time) to keep the site running. Google Analytics, Google AdSense, Rakuten Advertising, and CJ Affiliate may also receive device and usage data when their scripts or links run on a page.
Cookies
This site uses cookies and similar technologies:
- First-party / local storage — saved courts and gear checklists stay on your device.
- Analytics cookies — Google Analytics uses cookies such as
_gato measure visits. - Advertising cookies — Google AdSense and its partners use cookies and web beacons to serve and measure ads.
- Affiliate cookies — Rakuten Advertising and CJ Affiliate may set cookies when you click a partner link so a merchant can credit a purchase.
You can block or delete cookies in your browser. Saved courts will not persist if storage is blocked. You can still read every page. Blocking advertising or affiliate cookies may mean ads are less relevant and purchases through our links may not be tracked.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 to see which pages people use (for example, courts vs. gear). Google may collect IP address, device and browser type, referring site, pages viewed, and approximate location. We configure Analytics with IP anonymization where available.
Google’s privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy. How Google uses data from sites that use its services: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. Opt out of Analytics: Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other sites on the internet. Google’s advertising cookie lets it and its partners serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites. AdSense may also use web beacons to collect information as a result of ad serving.
You can opt out of personalized ads at Google Ads Settings or via the Digital Advertising Alliance at optout.aboutads.info. Google’s ad technologies: policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
Affiliate links — Rakuten Advertising and CJ Affiliate
Some product and retailer links on this site — especially on the gear page — are affiliate links from Rakuten Advertising and CJ Affiliate (Commission Junction). If you click one of those links and later buy something, we may earn a commission. You still pay the merchant’s normal price.
When you click an affiliate link, the network may collect information such as IP address, device identifiers, the page you came from, the merchant you visited, and whether a purchase was completed. That is how commissions are tracked. Those companies have their own policies:
- Rakuten Advertising privacy: rakutenadvertising.com/legal-notices/services-privacy-policy
- Rakuten Advertising privacy-rights form: privacy rights request
- CJ Affiliate services privacy: cj.com/legal/privacy-policy-services
- CJ data-subject request: cj.com/dsr
We partner with Rakuten Advertising, who may collect personal information when you interact with our site. The collection and use of that information is subject to Rakuten Advertising’s privacy policy linked above.
CJ Affiliate may use cookies and other tracking technologies on pages that contain CJ links so clicks and sales can be attributed. CJ states that it does not collect names, emails, or other directly identifying information through publisher tracking. See CJ’s notice for details and opt-out options.
