The Pickle Guide

Privacy and shared sessions

Privacy at The Pickle Guide

The organizer tools work without an account. Here is what stays in your browser, what a shared link contains, and what analytics we use.

Effective October 27, 2026

What we collect

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

We use analytics to see which pages are visited. Session details in the web address are removed before any analytics data is sent.

Names, scores, and organizer data

Names, team names, settings, and scores you enter in the organizer tools stay in your browser. We do not save your sessions for you.

Share links

If you use Copy link or Share, the link contains the roster, settings, and results. Anyone who gets the link can read them. Where offered, shared names are anonymized by default; leave that on unless people need the real names.

Use Clear session in a tool, or clear the address bar, when you no longer want the session in the current link.

Downloads, printing, and sharing

Schedule CSV files are created in your browser. Printing, copying, and sharing are handled by your browser or device and the place you choose to share to.
