You can delete your account at any time:

8. Age requirement

TennisLadder is intended exclusively for adults aged 18 years or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.

If we become aware that we have collected information from a person under 18, we will delete it promptly. Contact us at contact@tennisladder.app if you believe a minor has created an account.

9. Security

We use industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), encrypted database storage, and strict access controls. However, no system is 100% secure — we cannot guarantee absolute security.

TennisLadder is operated from the United States. If you access the Service from outside the U.S., your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States. By using the Service, you consent to this transfer.

11. Changes to this policy
