BadmintonCourt.org (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Site”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using this Site, you agree to the practices described below.
1. Who We Are
BadmintonCourt.org is a directory website that helps players find and compare badminton courts, clubs, and facilities. We are not a badminton venue ourselves, and we do not process court bookings or payments on behalf of the businesses listed on this Site.

2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide Directly

2.3 Publicly Available Business Data
Much of the content on this Site — business names, addresses, phone numbers, ratings, and review summaries — is compiled from publicly available sources, including Google Maps and Google Business Profile listings. This data relates to businesses, not individual consumers, and is used to help visitors compare badminton venues. If you believe a listing contains inaccurate information about your business, contact us using the details in Section 10.

We may share information with:
- Service providers who help us operate the Site (e.g., web hosting, analytics providers, email delivery services), under obligations to protect your data
- Legal authorities if required to comply with a legal obligation, protect our rights, or ensure user safety
- A successor entity in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to standard confidentiality terms
We do not share your personal contact information with the badminton venues listed on this Site unless you explicitly submit an inquiry intended for that business.
5. Third-Party Links and Services
This Site links to third-party websites, including business websites, Google Maps, and social media platforms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.

We use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Remember your location or search preferences
- Understand how visitors use the Site (via analytics tools such as Google Analytics, if enabled)
- [If applicable: Deliver relevant advertising through third-party ad networks]
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some Site functionality. If we use Google Analytics, data collected is also subject to Google’s data usage policy.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
