Privacy Policy

Last updated: 26 October 2026

This policy explains what information WATL — the World Amateur Tennis League — collects, why, and the choices you have. The short version: your email is never shown to other players, and we never sell your data.

1. What we collect

Account details: email address and password (stored securely, encrypted — we cannot see it).

Profile: username, name, country, town, photo, bio, playing level and availability you choose to add.

Tennis activity: challenges, match results, points, rankings and achievements.

Chat messages: messages you send to opponents in WATL, with the time sent and whether they were read. Only the two players in a conversation can see it. WATL administrators may review a conversation when it is reported, to investigate disputes, abuse or fraud, or where required by law. Messages are kept for safety records while your account is active.

Device information: if you turn on phone notifications, a technical address for your device so we can send alerts.

2. What other players can see

Your username, name, photo, country, town, bio, rankings, match results and achievements are public, because that is how a league works. Your email address is never shown to other players or shared with opponents.

3. How we use your information

To run your account, record matches and calculate rankings; to send you challenge and match alerts by phone notification or email; to prevent cheating and fake accounts; to send essential account emails (such as verification and password reset); and to improve WATL.

4. Notifications and email

Phone notifications are only sent if you turn them on, and you can turn them off at any time in Notifications or in your phone settings. Match and challenge emails relate to your own activity. We do not send marketing emails without your consent.

5. Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with trusted service providers who host the website, store data and deliver emails and notifications on our behalf, and when required by law. When paid Premium launches, payments will be handled by a secure payment provider — WATL will not store your card details.

6. Keeping your data

We keep your information while your account is active. If you delete your account, we remove your personal details; anonymous match records may be kept so other players' rankings stay correct.

7. Your rights

You can view and edit your profile at any time. You can ask us for a copy of your data, to correct it, or to delete your account, by emailing us. If you are in the UK or EU you also have the right to complain to your data protection authority (in the UK, the ICO).

8. Cookies and storage

We use only essential storage on your device to keep you signed in and remember simple preferences (such as hiding the install banner). We do not use advertising cookies.

9. Children

WATL is not intended for anyone under 16.

10. Contact and changes

Questions or requests: use our support form. We may update this policy and will tell you in the app about significant changes.
