Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to PadelUp (“we,” “us,” or “our”). PadelUp is operated by an individual developer and provides an AI-powered padel coaching application (“the App”) available on iOS.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you use our App and visit our website at trypadelup.com (“the Site”). By using PadelUp, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
If you have questions about this policy, please contact us at support@trypadelup.com.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Account Information
When you create an account using Apple Sign In, we receive your name and email address. We do not store your Apple credentials — authentication is handled entirely by Apple.
2.2 Photos and Videos
Meal photos: When you use the Smart Nutrition feature, you may upload photos of your meals. These images are processed by our AI to identify food items and estimate macronutrient content. Images are transmitted to our AI provider and are not stored permanently after analysis.
Technique videos: When you use the AI Video Analysis feature, you may upload short video clips of your padel play. These videos are processed to provide coaching feedback. Videos are transmitted to our AI provider for analysis and are not retained after processing.
2.3 Location Data
We may request access to your device location to help you find nearby padel courts and other players. Location data is used solely for this purpose and is not stored permanently on our servers.
2.4 Health and Fitness Data
We collect height, weight, and fitness goal information you provide during onboarding. This data is used to personalize training plans and nutrition recommendations.
2.5 Usage Analytics
We use PostHog to collect anonymized analytics about how users interact with the App. This includes feature usage, session duration, and in-app events. This data helps us understand which features are most valuable and improve the product.
2.6 User-Generated Content
You may submit court locations, session logs, and messages in the AI Coach chat. This content is stored on our servers to provide the service.

4. Third-Party Services
PadelUp relies on the following third-party service providers. Each has its own privacy policy:
- Supabase — Database and backend infrastructure. Your account data and app content are stored securely in Supabase.

5. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required by law to retain it longer.
Anonymized analytics data (PostHog) may be retained indefinitely as it cannot be linked back to you.
6. Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest, access controls, and regular security reviews. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

8. Children's Privacy
PadelUp is not intended for children under the age of 13 (or 16 in certain jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with their information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
