How we use business contact details
Version 2026-09-contacts-v2 ยท 13 September 2026
This page is for people whose work contact details we hold. We did not collect them from you, so the law says we have to tell you directly what we have, where we got it, and what you can do about it. That is what this page is.
If you would rather we did not list you, object here. It takes one form and a confirmation email, and we stop.
Who we are
Padel Genie is a trading name of Breakfast Enterprises Ltd. We map UK padel venues and the planning applications behind them, and we sell suppliers to that industry a way to reach the people who run the clubs. You can reach us at hello@padelgenie.io.
What we hold about you
Only things about your working role. We hold no home addresses, no personal phone numbers we know to be personal, no dates of birth and nothing about your private life.
| What | How many people |
|---|---|
| Your name | 4,802 |
| Your job title, as published | 4,793 |
| Your employer, and the venue they operate | 4,647 |
| A work email address | 2,195 |
| A work phone number | 230 |
| A public LinkedIn profile URL | 1,412 |
| Whether you are a registered director or a person with significant control of the company | where Companies House says so |
Where we got it
Named individually, because "publicly available sources" tells you nothing.
| Source | What came from it |
|---|---|
| Companies House | Your name, your role as a registered officer or person with significant control, and the company. This is a public register. |
| The club's own website | Names, job titles and published contact addresses on staff, team and contact pages. |
| Apollo.io | A business-contact database we subscribe to. Most of our email addresses, phone numbers and LinkedIn URLs came from there. |
| Public LinkedIn profiles | The profile URL and the job title shown on it. |
| The planning register | Where a person is named on a padel planning application, through the council's public register. We never list private-individual applicants. |
| A general web search | Press coverage and club announcements naming a person and their role. |
Some email addresses we worked out rather than found. Where we knew your name and your employer's email pattern, we constructed a likely address and in some cases checked whether the mailbox accepted mail. About 834 of the 2,195 addresses we hold were arrived at this way. We think you should know that, because it means an address we hold for you may be one you have never published and may not be one you use.
Why we hold it, and on what legal basis
Our lawful basis is UK GDPR Article 6(1)(f), legitimate interests: holding and disclosing business contact data of people acting in a business capacity at padel venues and planning applicants, to suppliers to that industry.
In deciding that this is fair we relied on: selecting people by their business role only; using work channels only, never an address we believe is personal; never surfacing private individuals named on planning applications; Companies House officer and person-with-significant-control data being a public register; and the objection route below, which works and is one form.
You can ask us for our written assessment of that balance and we will send it.
Who we share it with
Plainly: suppliers to the padel industry, on a paid plan, who choose to unlock a particular field about a particular person and are charged for it. Not a mailing list, not a bulk feed, and not resold as a dataset. A supplier sees your name and employer; they see your email, phone or LinkedIn only if they pay to unlock that specific field, and we keep a record of who unlocked what.
As of today 17 items have ever been unlocked, by one account. We would rather say that than imply a scale we do not have.
We also use Cloudflare to run the site and Resend to send email. They process data for us and do not use it for anything of their own.
How long we keep it
We have not yet set a retention period, and we are not going to pretend otherwise on this page. Our plan is to delete anyone who has never been unlocked by any customer and has not been seen in any source for 24 months, and to keep the rest while a customer holds an unlock, because the record of what was sold has to survive. That deletion job is not built yet, so today the honest answer is that we keep it until you ask us to stop or we delete it by hand. When the rule is live this page will say so and the date it started.
Planning applicants
Where a planning application for padel courts is made in the United Kingdom, the local planning authority publishes it on a statutory public register. We record, from that register: the applicant's name as filed, the site address of the application, and the application reference and authority. Where the applicant is a company we also record its registered number and the officers that Companies House publishes.
We obtain this from the authority's own planning portal, either directly or through PlanIt, which aggregates UK planning registers. Some names are read from a portal field; others are extracted from the application documents the authority publishes, and we record which.
We record the site address as part of the application record. Where the applicant is a private individual this may be their home address, and that is why an objection route exists. We hold no email address or telephone number for an individual named as an applicant. Where a named individual is also an officer of a company we hold, that record is governed by this notice and the same rights apply.
We process this on the basis of legitimate interests: identifying who is developing padel facilities in the UK so that suppliers to the sport can reach them. You may object at any time using the form here, quoting the application reference and authority.
If you object, we remove your name from the applications we hold. We keep a record of the objection itself, your name and the application reference, so the name is not added back by a later import. Where the same name appears on other applications, we remove it there too and keep the removed entry for 30 days so we can check that we have not removed someone else's application, after which it is deleted. We keep nothing else.
Your rights
- Object. Use this form. We stop listing you, and we keep a record of the address so a later import cannot add you back.
- See what we hold. Email us and we will send you your record.
- Correct it. Tell us and we will fix it.
- Have it deleted. Email us. Deletion is different from objecting: objecting keeps a note of your address so you stay off, deletion removes the record entirely and we may pick you up again from a public source later.
- Restrict how we use it, or ask for a copy to take elsewhere.
All of these: hello@padelgenie.io. If we get it wrong you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk, though we would rather you gave us the chance to put it right.
Our general privacy policy covers people who sign up to use Padel Genie. This page is about people we hold data about without them being customers.
