Privacy policy

Last updated November 8, 2026

Courtly is software that a pickleball venue installs on its own computer. It records games on the venue's courts with the venue's cameras and emails each player a link to the replay. This policy covers the Courtly app, the replay page players open, and this website.

The app runs on the venue's computer. We, the makers of Courtly, do not run a server that receives the venue's recordings, player emails or Google account data, and we never see them.

Google account data

When venue staff click Connect Google Drive, Courtly asks Google for permission to create and manage files in that Google account's Drive (the drive.file permission). With it, Courtly can only see and change files and folders that Courtly created. It cannot open any other file in the account.

• What Courtly reads: the account's name and email address, shown in the venue's dashboard so staff know which account is connected.
• What Courtly does: creates a "Courtly recordings" folder, uploads each game's video into its own folder there, and turns on link sharing for that game's folder (anyone with the link can view it) so players can watch and download their replay.
• Where access is kept: Google's sign-in token is saved only on the venue's computer, in a file readable only by that computer's user account.
• Removing access: staff can disconnect on the dashboard's Google Drive page, or remove Courtly at myaccount.google.com/permissions. Videos already uploaded stay in the venue's Drive until the venue deletes them.

Courtly's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. Google data is used only to store and share the venue's game recordings. It is not sold, not used for advertising, and not shared with anyone else.

Players

• Email addresses: players type them on the court tablet before a game. Before recording starts, the player confirms that everyone on the court agrees to be recorded and to the replay link being shared. Courtly uses the addresses only to email the replay link, sent from the venue's own email account. They are stored on the venue's computer with that game's record.
• Recordings: video, and audio when the venue turns it on, from the cameras assigned to that court. They are saved on the venue's computer and uploaded to the venue's Google Drive. Anyone who has a game's link can watch it.
• Replay page: the link players receive opens a page that plays the video from Google Drive. The video's details are in the part of the link after #, which browsers do not send to our web host.

The venue controls these recordings and email addresses. To have a recording or your email removed, contact the venue where you played.

This website

The demo request form sends us your name, email, phone number, company name, court address, number of courts and message by email. We use them only to reply to your request. This site uses no analytics or advertising cookies. It is hosted on Vercel, which keeps standard request logs.

Sharing

We do not sell personal information or share it with advertisers. We do not receive venue or player data from the app, so we have none to share.

Changes and contact

If this policy changes, we will update this page and its date. For privacy questions about Courtly, use the contact form and mention "privacy" in your message.
