Privacy at The Pickle Guide

The Pickle Guide loads Vercel Web Analytics on public pages so page-level usage can be understood. Before an analytics event is sent, the site strips the URL query string and fragment so shared-session state is not included.

You do not need an account, email address, or profile to use the score keeper, round robin generator, bracket generator, or ladder planner.

Names, team names, settings, and scores entered into the organizer tools are handled in your browser. The site does not provide an account database that saves those sessions for you.

If you choose Copy link or Share, the generated link can contain the roster, settings, and recorded results. Anyone who receives that link can read the information encoded in it. Where offered, shared names are anonymized by default; keep that setting on unless recipients need the real names.

Links generated by the current organizer tools place shared state after the # symbol. That fragment is used by the browser to restore the session and is not part of the normal request sent to the web server.

The tools can also open older links that put state in an s query parameter. Before analytics loads, the site removes that parameter from the query and rewrites it into the fragment. Use Clear session in a tool, or remove the fragment from the address bar, when you no longer want the state in the current URL.

Schedule CSV files are created from the current browser session. Printing uses your browser's print controls. Native sharing and clipboard copying are handled by your browser or device and any destination you choose.
