All visitors

eBadders is hosted in the EU by AlwaysData and developped and managed from the UK by Artilligence Ltd. Any visit to the website is anonymously logged on the web server only for technical purpose (e.g. troubleshooting issues, capacity management). We do not use web analytics platforms or share your browsing data with third parties. Please see the cookies policy for more info.

Session Players

If you come to a club practice session managed by eBadders automated system (i.e. the selection of the games and record of the scores), the session date and time and the score, partners and opponents of the games you have played may be recorded on the website.

We collect that information to improve the selection of the games, the aim is to give you a fair number of challenging and varied games. The computer uses the score to gradually assess your level.

You can ask a session host to change your name and we don't recommend using full names; initials and pseudonims are just fine.

Only club organisers can see all the games you have played in their sessions. Other members can only see the list of the best 25 players in a club and the best 10 players in a session. If you want to see your own games, you can ask an organiser to show you or create an account on eBadders and ask an organiser to link that account to your session player.

Your session payment

Some clubs use eBadders to keep track of your sessions and matches fees. Transactions can only be seen by a club owner and the actual member they relate to. Session hosts can record session fee payment during a session. We record the date, time, reason and amount of the transactions.

We offer this service to some large clubs to reduce their workload and increase transparency between owner and members about session payments.

Registered Members

If you have created an account on the site, we only have the minimal amount of information for you to log in and have a unique handle in your club: a name (not necessarily full name) and an email address. Club owners however are requested to provide a full and valid legal name because they are responsible for their club and their members on eBadders.

Tournament forms

Some clubs use eBadders to set up tournament registration forms.
The information they collect is exclusively for assigning applicants to the right categories, record pairings and manage payments. The forms collects full names and contact details which are shared only with the club owners. The application data is removed shortly after the tournament. Only club owners can see their participants data on the site.

The owner should not share contact details with any third-party. eBadders does not take responsibility for misuse and will take action against owers if we have evidence of wrongdoing.

League forms

Some clubs use eBadders to set up league registration forms.
The information they collect is exclusively for the purpose of managing the league and registering their players with the relevant organisations (e.g. Badminton England, Middlesex League). Only club owners can see their applicants data on the site.

The owner should not share contact details with any third-party which is not stricly necessary for running the league. eBadders does not take responsibility for misuse and will take action against owers if we have evidence of wrongdoing.

Online Shop

eBadders hosts an online shop. Buyers leave their contact details when ordering. The details are stored on eBadders and shared with the shop owner. Their name and contact details are displayed on the ordering page and order confirmation messages. The shop owner will pass that information to delivery services (e.g. Royal Mail, UK).
