Draft for owner reviewThis text is a working draft, not legal advice. Items in [highlighted brackets] are still to be completed. It must be reviewed (ideally by a qualified professional) before it is published as final. Draft prepared on 9 November 2026.

1. Who we are

The Fourth Player helps padel and tennis players find a missing player through WhatsApp, in Lisbon and Almada. For questions about your data, write to vamos@thefourthplayer.com.

[Legal entity name, tax number (NIF) and registered address of the data controller to be added]

2. What we collect

When you message our WhatsApp bot, we collect:

  • your WhatsApp phone number;
  • your playing level;
  • your location, meaning the courts or areas where you play in Lisbon and Almada;
  • your availability, meaning when you usually play;
  • the messages you send the bot, including your yes or no when a match is proposed.

On this website we use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits. [Owner to confirm exactly what data this tool collects and whether a cookie notice is needed]

3. Why we use it

We use this information only to find you a suitable player and to run the matching service. [Legal basis under the GDPR (for example consent or performance of a service) to be confirmed]

4. Who sees it

Your profile stays private. We share your phone number with another player only after both you and that player have said yes to the match. We do not sell your data.

WhatsApp (Meta) delivers the messages. [List any other providers that process data for us, such as hosting, automation or database services, and any transfers outside the EU/EEA]

5. How long we keep it

[Retention period to be defined]. You can ask us to delete your data at any time.

6. Your rights

Under the GDPR you may ask us to access, correct or erase your data, restrict or object to its use, receive it in a portable format, and withdraw your consent at any time. To do so, write to vamos@thefourthplayer.com. You also have the right to complain to the Portuguese data protection authority, the Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados (CNPD).

7. Changes

We may update this policy as the service grows. The date of the latest version will appear on this page.
