Privacy policy

CREATE STUDIO MATSUMOTO explains how information is handled when you use PICKLE THE BLUE.

01Information we receive

When you email us, we receive the details necessary to respond, such as your name, email address and message. The contact form asks for enquiry type, name, organisation/company, email, phone number and message. Organisation and phone number are optional.

The form currently supports entry and review only. It does not send or save your details to the operator. You can contact us by email.

02How we use information

We use information to answer enquiries; verify the sender and request where necessary; coordinate listings, interviews, advertising and sponsorship; respond to corrections and rights-related concerns; prevent abuse; and fulfil legal obligations. We do not add enquiry contacts to a mailing list without separate consent.

03Storage and security

We retain enquiry records only as needed for responses, continuing discussions and applicable retention requirements. Access is limited to the people who need it, with measures against unauthorised access, loss and disclosure. Records no longer needed are deleted or otherwise appropriately disposed of. Before introducing a form provider, we will review storage and management arrangements.

05Cookies and browser storage

This site currently uses no first-party cookies, analytics tags or advertising delivery tags. sessionStorage remembers that you have seen the welcome message; it contains no name or email address. Search, filters, sorting and comparison selections run in your browser. Search terms may appear in the page URL, so do not enter personal information in search fields.

06External images and links

Product and event images are loaded from manufacturers, organisers and their image hosts. Loading them sends technical information, such as your IP address and browser details, to those hosts. Our external image elements use a no-referrer setting. Image requests occur only on pages using those images. External websites and image providers may use cookies under their own policies and your browser settings. After following a link, review the destination’s privacy policy. Current image hosts for the Thailand editions are listed below.

tournament.dropshot.in.th
theapp.asia
images.squarespace-cdn.com
assets.zyrosite.com
royalinternationalpickleball.club
joola.co.jp
yonexshop.jp

07Advertising and affiliate links

Japan’s edition is intended to use Rakuten; the Thailand editions are intended to use Lazada Thailand, with optional Amazon US links in English. Products are selected using published specifications and editorial judgement. Commission alone does not determine an evaluation. Payment and buyer details are handled by the shop under its own policy.

No affiliate tracking links are currently configured for these editions. Current shop links are ordinary links.

08Access, correction and deletion requests

Contact the email below to request information about purposes of use, access, correction, deletion, restriction of use or stopping third-party disclosure of personal information held by the operator. We verify your identity or authority only as necessary and respond under applicable law. Do not attach identity-document images to your first message; we will explain any required procedure separately.

09Changes to this policy

We review this policy when site functions, data handling or applicable laws change. Material changes and their effective dates will be announced here or on relevant pages. Where notice, consent or another procedure is required by law, we will follow it.
