Privacy Policy
How privacy, advertising cookies, and browser storage are handled.
This Privacy Policy explains how Picklary handles information when you visit. We aim to collect as little as possible.
Information we collect
Picklary is a static information site. We do not ask you to create an account. If you email us, we receive the information you choose to include in that email.
Cookies and local storage
The site may store your chosen language and some on-device feature data in your browser via localStorage — for example, your DUPR self-check history (estimated scores and dates) so you can see your progress on return visits, plus the local highlight/review demo. This data stays in your browser, is not sent to our servers, and is not used to track you across other sites. You can remove it anytime with the "Clear history" button on the self-check or by clearing your browser storage.
Language choice
In the current static build, Picklary does not use IP-based country detection or public GeoIP endpoints for language routing. The root page remains a language-choice landing page, and a manual language selection may be stored in browser localStorage so the language switcher can remember the choice.
Advertising and third-party vendors
We intend to display ads through Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits. You can manage personalised advertising at Google Ads Settings and learn more at Google's advertising technologies policy.

Why this page matters
This policy page is not just a formality. It explains how Picklary creates content, separates ads from editorial work, limits user submissions, and corrects errors. Clear privacy, copyright, advertising, and moderation standards make the site safer for readers and advertisers.
Picklary covers topics that can change, including rules, paddles, players, events, and DUPR-related links. For that reason, these policy pages also explain the limits of current information, the need to verify external sources, the separation of advertising and editorial work, and the review standards for user input. They act as a public trust layer and an internal checklist for future features.
Community boards, highlight videos, and gear reviews can raise copyright, privacy, and moderation issues. This version does not automatically publish user posts to a public server, and a public launch should include reporting, removal requests, spam prevention, and pre-publication review.
These pages are kept in the footer so readers can find them at any time. They also serve as a checklist when new tools, articles, ads, or community features are added: the new feature should not conflict with the stated privacy, advertising, correction, or moderation standards.
Readers should use these policies together, because privacy, cookies, advertising, corrections, and community moderation affect one another when interactive tools are added. This is especially important for a site that combines articles, tools, external links, and future community features.
More about ads and storage
When ads are active, Google or third-party advertising partners may use cookies to serve ads. Picklary features are designed around browser-side storage for language choice, DUPR self-check history, and local demos. Users can clear cookies and localStorage in browser settings.
