USTA Plus Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 18, 2026
USTA Plus is an independent, unofficial browser extension. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by USTA or Universal Tennis (UTR) in any way.
What USTA Plus does
USTA Plus is a Chrome extension that reads the player roster table on USTA tournament players pages, looks up each listed player on UTR (Universal Tennis Rating) using your own logged-in UTR session, and displays the resulting Singles and Doubles UTR ratings directly on the USTA page next to each player's name.
Information we access
UTR login session (authentication information)
USTA Plus reads the jwt session cookie set by utrsports.net after you
log into your own UTR account in your browser. This cookie is used only to send authenticated
search requests to UTR's public search API on your behalf, so the extension can find UTR
profiles matching the players on the USTA page you are viewing. USTA Plus does not ask for,
see, or store your UTR or USTA password, and it does not modify or delete this cookie.
USTA page content
When you visit a USTA tournament players page, USTA Plus reads the visible player table on that page — player names, event names, city/state, and gender, as shown publicly on the USTA page — in order to search for matching UTR profiles and to display ratings back on the same table. This data is processed to perform the lookup and is not sold or used for any purpose unrelated to displaying UTR ratings on that page.
Aggregate tournament statistics
To power the in-extension "event difficulty" comparison (which shows how an event's average UTR compares to similar events you've previously viewed), USTA Plus sends aggregate statistics to its own backend server:
- Tournament level, event gender/age/type category, and event name
- Player count and numeric UTR rating values (e.g. average, median, min, max)
This upload does not include player names, USTA player IDs, UTR profile IDs, city/state, or your UTR login token. It is aggregate statistical data tied to a tournament event, not to an individual player or to you.

What we do not do
- We do not collect your name, email address, or any information that identifies you personally.
- We do not sell or transfer data to third parties, outside of the UTR API calls required to perform lookups you request.
- We do not use or transfer data for any purpose unrelated to displaying UTR ratings on USTA pages.
- We do not use data to determine creditworthiness or for lending purposes.
- We do not track your browsing activity outside of USTA tournament pages.
- We do not collect your location, browsing history, financial information, or health information.
Third parties
USTA Plus sends search requests directly to UTR's (Universal Tennis Rating) public search API using your own authenticated session. Your use of UTR's service remains subject to UTR's own privacy policy and terms. USTA Plus does not control and is not responsible for how UTR handles data on its own platform.
Data retention
Aggregate tournament statistics sent to our backend are retained to power the difficulty
comparison feature across sessions. Since this data is aggregate and not tied to an individual
player or user, there is no per-user record to delete. Extension settings stored via
chrome.storage.sync remain until you remove the extension or clear your Chrome
sync data.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this same URL with a revised "Last updated" date above.
