Privacy notice
Effective November 6, 2026 · Applies to v1.1.2
This notice covers PickleScout. The extension helps users look up, verify and display DUPR ratings in tournament tables. It has no developer-operated rating server, advertising, analytics or tracking SDK.
Data processed and its purpose
| Data | Purpose and storage |
|---|---|
| Names, locations and player links from tournament tables; names entered by you | Identify players, order search candidates and associate confirmed records. Search terms remain in local search caches. Player links may be used as local binding keys. The extension does not record your full browsing history. |
| Full name, DUPR ID, location and singles/doubles ratings returned by DUPR | Display ratings and help verify identity. Candidates and confirmed records are saved in the browser's extension-local storage. |
| Snapshot times, player bindings, previous ratings and update times | Reuse records, flag older snapshots and calculate rating changes. These remain in the current browser. |
| Connection-test results, request-throttling times, language preference, onboarding preferences and data-use consent version | Display connection status, space requests and remember interface language, onboarding and consent. These are stored locally. |
Scout Trends: Pickleball.com rating history
When you click Scout Trends on a public player profile at pickleball.com, cached history opens directly in a separate window. Without cached history, the extension opens the same player's Rating History and loads the current page. Check for new matches, Load next page, Load all history and Retry request more history for that player. Ordinary browsing, language changes and discipline switches do not fetch history.
Data processed includes the selected player's name and DUPR ID, profile path, match IDs, event titles, site timestamps, discipline, scores, results and rating fields. These support ordering, event grouping, trend charts and estimated changes between adjacent loaded matches. Requests send the selected player path, page number and the source page's filter parameters to pickleball.com; the browser uses that site's existing session settings. The site may receive normal network information such as IP address and browser details. Scout Trends does not directly call the DUPR player-search API.
Trend history and its save time stay in this browser's local extension storage after the window closes, separate from the seven-day player-search cache. Select Clear this player’s trend cache in the trend window to delete that player's history. Uninstalling removes all trend caches. The source path, pending navigation, window session and history request-throttling times use chrome.storage.session, which clears on browser restart. Closing a trend window removes its corresponding session. Language uses the extension's existing local preference. History is not uploaded to the developer, and cookie values and credentials are not extracted. Rating differences are estimates; incomplete history or ambiguous ordering is disclosed.
pickleball.com access: display the Scout entry on public player profiles and read the selected player's history only following your action.
Signed-in sessions and data sent to third parties
You must sign in to dashboard.dupr.com yourself and keep the tab open. Only a manual connection test, lookup, refresh, full-name search or load-more action triggers a fixed player-search operation in that signed-in tab. The search name (Ben Johns for connection tests), pagination and filter parameters are sent to api.dupr.com. The browser applies DUPR's session and cookie settings to authenticate the request. DUPR may also receive the IP address and browser request information normally associated with a network request.
The extension does not read, copy or store cookie values, account passwords or new Bearer tokens, and does not send them to the developer. Tokens and API-channel settings left by early development versions are removed when this version is installed or updated. DUPR handles its own account and service data under its privacy policy.
The extension does not upload player names, ratings, bindings or tournament browsing records to the developer and does not sell, rent or use them for advertising. If you open a DUPR login page, support link or other website, that site processes the visit under its own policies. Fonts and scripts are supplied with the extension; no third-party font service is used.
Retention and deletion
Search caches stop being treated as valid search results after seven days but are not automatically deleted. Confirmed bindings remain until cleared; rating snapshots older than seven days are marked as old cache. A refresh replaces the latest snapshot and retains one previous set of ratings for comparison, rather than an unlimited rating history.
Click “清空缓存” (Clear cache) in the popup to delete player searches, confirmed bindings and rating comparisons. That action keeps connection status, request-throttling state and onboarding preferences. Refresh open tournament pages to clear their in-memory display. Uninstalling the extension clears its extension storage in that browser profile; it does not delete your DUPR account or DUPR website cookies. The extension does not use chrome.storage.sync.
Why permissions are needed
- storage: keep local rating caches, bindings and interface state.
- scripting: run the fixed search in your signed-in DUPR tab.
- Tournament website access: insert lookup controls and rating columns into tables on pickleballtournaments.com and brackets.pickleballtournaments.com.
- DUPR website access: locate the dashboard.dupr.com tab and use the api.dupr.com player-search service.
Contact, support email and policy-page visits
Contact support@ykpickleball.com for support or privacy requests. If you choose to email us, the developer and email provider process your address, message and attachments to respond and investigate. Emails do not automatically include your local player library. Do not send login credentials. You may use this address to request access to, correction or deletion of support correspondence, subject to applicable law and the provider's backup mechanisms.
When you visit policy or help pages on ykpickleball.com, the hosting service may process access logs such as your IP address, request time and browser information. This is separate from the extension's local player storage; the extension does not automatically upload the player library to that website.

Data is used only for the lookup, verification, caching and related functions described above, in accordance with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements. Material changes will be reflected in this notice and communicated as required. You can also reach us through Help & support.
