Why and how do we process your personal data?
We at MATCHi AB care about your privacy and want you to feel safe when we process your personal data. In order for you to use, and for us to provide, our online booking system and the service MATCHi including our competition tool Padelboard, we will need to process your personal data for different purposes.
We will process your personal data for the following purposes:
We do not sell your personal data, but we might need to share it with, for example our connected partners and venues, affiliated companies, our IT-suppliers and the suppliers of the analytic services we use (mainly Google and Amplitude). In certain situations, your personal data will be processed outside the EU but only when we can ensure an appropriate level of protection for your personal data.
When we process your personal data, you have certain rights. This means that you, for example, have the right to information and access to your personal data, a right to request that we delete your personal data, a right to withdraw your consent or object to our processing and a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. You can read more about your rights here.
Who is responsible for the processing of your personal data?
MATCHi AB (Swedish registration number 556871-6129), is responsible for the processing of your personal data. We also process personal data as processors on behalf of our connected partners and venues in order to facilitate your bookings and purchases, you can read more about this here.
If you want to know more about our processing of your personal data or if you want to exercise any of your rights, please contact us and we will help you. Our email address is dataprotection@matchi.se and our postal address is Gullbergs Strandgata, 411 04 Gothenburg.
You can read our full privacy policy below.
We at MATCHi AB (“we”, “our” and “us”) care about privacy and want you to feel you are in safe-hands when we process your personal data and we work hard to protect your integrity.
This privacy policy applies to you who use our online booking system and service (the “MATCHi”) on our website www.matchi.se or in our MATCHi app or Padelboard app (together the “Apps”).
Here we explain why we process your personal data, what your rights are, the legal basis on which we handle your data and for how long we store it.
MATCHi AB (Swedish registration number 556871-6129), is responsible for the processing of your personal data.
Please note that we also process data on behalf of our partners and venues. Should you have any questions regarding this or if you wish to exercise any of your rights under data protection legislation, please contact us via our e-mail address dataprotection@matchi.se or write us a traditional letter to our postal address Gullbergs Strandgata, 411 04 Gothenburg, Sweden.
We collect your personal data directly from you when you register a MATCHi account or when you use MATCHi, for example when you make a booking on our website or in one of our Apps (or even a venues website if its bookings are powered by MATCHi) or if you choose to up-date or add to your account information. Much information is voluntary to provide, the more information you choose to contribute, the better functionality you will receive when using MATCHi.
We will also collect your personal data from other sources in the following situations:
In general, you are not required to provide personal data to us, but certain information needs to be provided in order to use MATCHi or any of the Apps. In which situations you need to provide personal data to us is described in the below charts where the legal basis is stated as “Performance of a contract” or “Legal obligation”. If you do not provide such personal data to us, we will not, for example, be able to make MATCHi or the Apps available for you.
Your personal data is primarily processed by MATCHi. This means that your personal data will be handled by our employees and representatives, but only to the extent it is needed for them to conduct their work.
Certain information about you may be visible to others. Whether information is public or not is clearly noted within the system and you can control this via your accounts privacy settings or by the choices you make when using MATCHi or the Apps, opting for the visibility you prefer. The more information you share the more you will be able to access yourself. Please note that when using the Padelboard app, there are less options to set your profile to private and most information is visible to others entering a competition and may be displayed on screens at a venue or other appropriate places. You are generally required to use your real name when using the Padelboard app, this is partly because competitions take place in real life and your team members or competitors have a legitimate interest in knowing who they will be meeting.
Sometimes our partners or venues use MATCHi as administrators. They can then process your personal data if you are affiliated with them through your membership or because you are their customer. They might also show information about activities or events on screens displayed at the venue and such displays can include information entered into MATCHi.
In certain cases, we need to share your personal data with our suppliers, partners and subsidiaries in order to conduct our business efficiently. We are responsible for any sharing of your personal data to such suppliers, partners or subsidiaries and to make sure your personal data is safe when shared with third parties.
We will share your personal data with the following recipients:
We, as well as our processors, process your personal data within the EU/EEA. In some instances, we will transfer your personal data outside of the EU/EEA to our IT-suppliers that process personal data as our data processors and according to our instructions. Such transfer only takes place in accordance with applicable data protection legislation, meaning that we will transfer your personal data outside the EU/EEA when we can ensure an appropriate level of protection of your personal data.
The below charts describe in detail why we process your personal data, which categories of personal data we process, our legal basis for the processing and for how long we process your personal data. The legal basis is the basis for our processing of your personal data according to the GDPR.
This is partly such information we have a legal obligation to provide and might feel a bit long and complicated – do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions regarding our processing of your personal data. Our contact details can be found in the beginning of this privacy policy.

If you have a request regarding the data we process on behalf of our partners or venues, we will always have to consult the controller before we take any action. If you want information about how the respective venue or partner processes your data, we direct you towards the venue and you can always find contact details to the responsible partner or venue in MATCHi and in your booking information or receipt. If you are a member or customer of a particular venue, other venues which are not affiliated with your venue will not be able to access your personal data that is processed by us on behalf of a particular venue.
The data that may overlap is described in the schedule below listing our purposes and legal basis on which we process it. The below is provided to give an overview of the information involved and is not meant to be exhaustive. Each venue processes information for their own purposes, which might differ from ours and make their own decision on what ground the processing takes place.

- you need the personal data to assert or defend legal claims even though we no longer need the data for our purposes, or

In detail: The right to data portability applies to personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, widely used and machine-readable format, if the processing is based on the legal basis of performance of contract (GDPR, Article 6.1 b) and the processing is automated.
The exercise of the right to data portability does not affect the application of Article 17 of the GDPR, which shall not apply to processing that is necessary for the performance of a task of general interest or that is part of the exercise of authority performed by us.
Your right to data portability must not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
You have a right to object to our processing of your personal data when the processing is based on the legal basis “legitimate interest” and we will always consider your objection.

You may do this in the EU/EEA member state where you live, work or where an infringement of applicable data protection laws is alleged to have occurred.
