Who we are

Padel Racket Review (padelracketreview.com and padelracketsvergelijken.nl) is made by Jasper Stender. Questions about your data? Email padelracketvergelijken@gmail.com.

In short

• You don't need an account, and we never ask for your name or email address.
• We don't set cookies.
• We measure anonymously how the site is used.
• Messages to the coach are sent to Anthropic to generate an answer. We don't store their content.

Site statistics

We use PostHog (servers in the EU) to see which pages are visited and which shop links are clicked: which shop, which racket and which price. We run PostHog without cookies or other browser storage, without session recordings and without automatically tracking every click. If "Do Not Track" is on in your browser, we measure nothing.

PostHog does receive technical data such as your IP address and browser type. We only use it for statistics such as country and device. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in improving the site. We keep these statistics for at most one year.

The AI coach

When you ask the coach a question, your message and the earlier conversation are sent to our server and to Anthropic, the maker of the Claude language model, which generates the answer. Anthropic is based in the United States. The transfer is covered by the safeguards in its data processing terms, and under its terms this data is not used to train models.

We don't store the content of your messages. We only log technical figures, such as the length of a message and how fast the answer came.

Your conversations are kept in your own browser (local storage) so you can see them again later. You can delete them there yourself. Please don't share personal details in the chat: the coach doesn't need them.

To prevent abuse we count how many messages a visitor sends. For this we turn your IP address into a hashed code, so no readable IP address. We keep that code for about a day (at Upstash) and pass it to Anthropic for its abuse detection. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in running the coach and preventing abuse.

Hosting

The site runs on Vercel. Like any web server, Vercel processes your IP address and technical data to deliver pages and block attacks. Legal basis: our legitimate interest.

Storage in your browser

We don't set cookies. In your browser's local storage we only keep your comparison list and your conversations with the coach. That data stays on your own device, except for the messages you send to the coach yourself.

Links to shops

When you click a shop link, you go to that shop's site, often through an affiliate network such as Awin, CJ, Adtraction, TradeTracker or the bol Partner Programme. The shop or network may then set cookies to record that you came from us. That falls under their own privacy policy. We only receive an overview of sales and commission, without names or addresses.

Sharing and selling

We don't sell data. We only share it with the services above (Vercel, PostHog, Anthropic and Upstash), which process it on our behalf.

Your rights

You can ask what data we hold about you, have it corrected or deleted, and object to its use. Because we don't know names or accounts, we usually can't link anything to you personally, but feel free to email us. If you disagree with how we handle your data, you can complain to your local data protection authority (in the Netherlands, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens).

Changes

If anything changes in how we process data, we update this page. The date at the top shows when that last happened.
