Privacy Policy
LAST UPDATED · OCTOBER 11, 2026
Dirty Pickle is a brand of Axiom Media LLC. This is what we collect, why, and what we never do with it.
SmartPickle: Pickleball Coach, our iPhone and Apple Watch app, has its own SmartPickle privacy policy. This policy covers the Dirty Pickle website and book reader.
What we collect
Order data — name, email, shipping address, and what you bought, processed by Stripe. We never see or store your card number. Access data — the email tied to your digital edition, your reading progress and bookmarks (so the reader can pick up where you left off), which pages you read and for how long (page numbers and minutes only, kept with your account to improve the book; never shared or sold), and sign-in events. Site data — standard analytics (pages viewed, device type) and, when we run ads, advertising pixels (Meta, Google, TikTok) that use cookies to measure conversions. Referral data — if you arrive through a friend's share link, a cookie (30 days) remembers who sent you so they get credit.
What we do with it
Fulfill your order, deliver your digital access, keep your reading progress, improve the site, measure advertising, and — if you opted in — send you our email updates. That's it.
What we never do
We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it with anyone except the services that run this product: Stripe (payments), Vercel (hosting/analytics), Convex (database), WorkOS (sign-in), Resend (email), and ad platforms' measurement pixels when ads are running.
Digital watermarking
Pages of the digital edition are watermarked with the purchaser's email and order id. That identity travels with the pages you view — it's how we protect the book without locking you into an app.
Your choices
Unsubscribe from emails anytime (one click, footer of every email). Block cookies in your browser — the site still works. Want your data deleted after your order is complete? Reply to your order email and we'll erase what we're not legally required to keep.
