Does Pindeck sell my personal data?

Accepted Answer

We never sell data that identifies you personally. We do create de-identified, aggregated insights — for example how a ball model performs across many bowlers on a given oil-pattern family — and we may license those insights to manufacturers, pro shops, sponsors, and partners. Aggregated results are only released in groups of at least 5 bowlers and are never tied to an identifiable bowler. Sharing your name alongside your equipment data is off unless you explicitly opt in, and you can opt out of aggregated sharing any time from your profile or the Do Not Sell or Share page.

Question 31

Is my information secure?

Accepted Answer

We use industry-standard safeguards — encryption in transit, role-based access controls, and audit logging — to protect your account. No online service can guarantee absolute security, so we also give you controls to manage what you share and with whom. See the Privacy Policy for detail on how we handle your data.
