Paradise Lounge pool nights is a small, private group site run by its hosts. This page explains what we keep and why.

What we keep

• Your name, the name people call you, and your email address — so you can sign in and get invites.
• Your mobile number, only if you give it, plus a record of your consent to texts (when, the wording you agreed to, and the device you used).
• What you do here: sign-ups, check-ins, match results, comments, and (later) photos and videos you add.
• Basic security records: sign-in sessions, the IP address and browser used, and a log of host actions.

Who can see what

• Anyone with the link: event details, brackets, results, sign-up lists and display names. The site asks search engines not to index it.
• Members only: comments, photos and videos.
• Hosts only: email addresses, phone numbers and the activity log, to run the group.

Phone numbers and texts

We do not sell, rent or share your phone number. SMS consent and phone numbers are not shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing purposes. Your number is used only to send the Paradise Lounge texts you agreed to (game invites, reminders and sign-in codes). Messages are delivered through our text provider (Twilio) solely to send them.

Email

Emails are sent through our email provider only to deliver them. Every invite email has an unsubscribe link; sign-in emails are only sent when you ask for one.

Keeping and removing data

Results are part of the group’s history, so we keep them. If you leave, your account is closed and you stop getting messages; your past results stay under your display name. Ask a host if you want your contact details removed or a copy of your data.

Cookies

We use one cookie to keep you signed in. No ads, no tracking cookies.
