Privacy Policy

TennisDB is an independent ATP and WTA tennis statistics reference and research publisher. This policy applies to the public tennis-db.com website, its machine-readable pages, and TennisDB's internal maintenance surfaces.

TennisDB is operated by HUFP Software Studio Sarl. The company is the controller of the personal data described in this policy where data-protection law uses that term.

Registered business address: 3/5 Avenue des Citronniers, Le Prince de Galles, 98000, MONACO.

The privacy contact is [email protected].

You can browse public pages without creating an account. TennisDB does not sell or rent visitor personal information for money. Some privacy laws define selected disclosures for targeted advertising as a "sale" or "sharing" even when no money changes hands; where applicable, TennisDB provides a choice to opt out.

• Request and security data: hosting and application logs may contain an IP address, user agent, requested URL, timestamp, referrer, and response status. This supports security, abuse prevention, debugging, and reliable delivery.
• Aggregate usage data: page views, referral sources, device or browser categories, approximate country-level location, and custom product events help identify useful pages and product problems. TennisDB receives aggregate reporting rather than persistent visitor profiles.
• Feedback data: a feedback submission includes the message and report type, plus any page URL, email address, or other information you choose to provide. It is used to investigate the report, improve the service, and reply when appropriate.
• Internal authentication data: authorized maintainers may use Google authentication for protected operational tools. TennisDB receives the account details needed to authenticate and authorize that access.
• Search and filter inputs: site searches and filters can appear in the requested URL and therefore in normal request logs. Do not put confidential or sensitive personal information in those fields.

Where the GDPR, UK GDPR, or similar law applies, TennisDB relies on legitimate interests to secure, operate, troubleshoot, measure, and improve the service; to prevent abuse; and to review and respond to feedback. These activities are limited to what is reasonably necessary for an independent public reference site.

Processing may also be necessary to comply with a legal obligation or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. If TennisDB introduces processing that requires consent, it will request that consent separately rather than treating ordinary site use as consent.

TennisDB uses Plausible Analytics (opens in new tab) for cookie-free, aggregate site measurement. TennisDB does not use analytics to build advertising profiles or track people across unrelated websites.

When separately enabled, Clickio Web Vitals Monitoring measures loading speed, responsiveness, and layout movement on the ATP and WTA homepages, including before advertising launches. It receives performance values, device and connection characteristics, the page path without search parameters, and ordinary request metadata such as an IP address and browser information. Clickio describes this monitoring as cookie-free and without persistent user tracking. It is separate from the advertising consent service and does not enable advertising. See Clickio's Web Vitals terms (opens in new tab) for details.

Plausible does not set analytics cookies. Strictly necessary session or security cookies may be used when an authorized maintainer signs in to a protected internal surface.

When display advertising is enabled, the initial pilot uses one Google AdSense banner on selected ATP and WTA homepage views only. Other public pages are excluded. The pilot selects page views without a rollout cookie, local storage, or a persistent visitor identifier; it is not a user-level experiment.

Third-party vendors, including Google, may process request metadata and use cookies or similar storage to serve and measure ads. Where permitted by your choices and applicable requirements, advertising cookies enable Google and its partners to select ads based on prior visits to TennisDB and other websites. Depending on your choices and location, Google may serve personalized ads, non-personalized ads, eligible limited ads, or no ad. Non-personalized ads are not necessarily cookie-free.

For the Clickio-based pilot, Clickio (opens in new tab) manages advertising privacy choices using the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework and applicable US privacy signals. Its consent service receives ordinary request metadata and stores your privacy choices so it can remember and communicate them. This necessary consent storage is separate from permission to use advertising storage. The message identifies participating ad-technology providers and lets you accept, reject, or manage individual choices. Scrolling or continuing to browse is not treated as consent.

While advertising is active, the Privacy and cookie settings footer link remains available even on pages without ads. It opens a homepage settings-only view that loads the consent controls without loading Google's ad library or requesting an ad. You can review partners, object where legitimate interest is used, and change or withdraw your choice. The bottom banner does not block ordinary browsing; detailed privacy options may use a dialog.

Rejecting consent does not prevent access to TennisDB. Where the reviewed regional configuration permits, eligible limited ads may still appear without behavioral personalization. Google's programmatic limited ads can use storage for fraud prevention; this option is not enabled solely because an ad is described as contextual. If the limited-ad configuration has not been approved, rejected consent results in no manual ad-unit request. The consent service itself must load to collect and communicate your choice.

For the Clickio-based pilot, applicable US sale, sharing, and targeted-advertising opt-outs are available through the privacy controls. A detected Global Privacy Control signal or an applicable opt-out prevents this integration from loading Google's ad library or requesting a manual ad unit. Unknown or unsupported regional signals also prevent serving. If a privacy choice changes after a request, this page stops its banner lifecycle and removes the creative; subsequent page navigation uses your updated choice. This does not undo processing that already occurred before withdrawal.

You can also manage personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings (opens in new tab) and learn how Google uses information from partner sites at Google's partner-sites page (opens in new tab). Additional industry opt-out choices are available at YourAdChoices (opens in new tab). Browser or device controls may also block or delete cookies, although doing so can affect ad selection and consent-state persistence.

Limited information is processed by providers that help TennisDB operate. They process it under their own terms and privacy commitments and only for the relevant service:

• Render provides application and database hosting, delivery, and operational logging.
• Plausible Analytics provides aggregate website measurement.
• Email infrastructure delivers feedback notifications and replies when email is configured.
• Google provides fonts on public pages, OAuth authentication for authorized internal users, and—when display advertising is enabled—AdSense advertising. Google's built-in consent service is used only if selected instead of Clickio. Google's handling is described in its Privacy Policy (opens in new tab).
• Clickio provides the prepared advertising consent service, including privacy-choice storage, consent signals, and privacy controls, when that integration is enabled. Its separately enabled Web Vitals service provides the homepage performance measurement described above. Its handling is described in its Privacy Policy (opens in new tab).
• jsDelivr supplies country-flag assets, and Wikimedia Commons supplies selected freely licensed player images.

Loading a resource from one of these providers can disclose ordinary request metadata, including an IP address and user agent, to that provider. Following an external link takes you to a site governed by its own privacy policy.

Providers may process information in countries other than your own. Where required, the provider and TennisDB rely on legally recognized transfer safeguards.

TennisDB keeps information only as long as reasonably needed for the purpose described above. The period depends on the type of record: operational logs follow hosting and security needs; aggregate analytics follow product-analysis needs; feedback remains while a report is being handled or continues to inform corrections and maintenance; and records may be retained longer when required for legal, security, backup, or dispute purposes.

TennisDB uses reasonable technical and organizational safeguards appropriate to a small public information service. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, restriction of, or portability of your personal data, and to object to processing based on legitimate interests. You can also choose not to provide an email address with feedback, decline or withdraw advertising consent where offered, and use applicable opt-out controls for targeted advertising or the sale or sharing of personal information.

Send a request to [email protected]. TennisDB may need enough information to verify that the request concerns you. Some rights are subject to legal exceptions, including where data must be retained for security, legal claims, or compliance. You may also complain to the data-protection authority where you live.

TennisDB does not use visitor data for automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.

TennisDB is a general-audience reference service and does not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child submitted personal information, contact TennisDB so it can be reviewed and, where appropriate, removed.

This policy may be updated when the service or its legal obligations change. Material revisions will be reflected on this page with a new last-updated date. Questions or privacy requests can be sent to [email protected].
