Last Updated: October 26, 2026
This policy explains what information ScoresDeck collects when you use our mobile app (the App) and our website at scoresdeck.com (the Site), why we collect it, who we share it with, how long we keep it, and the choices and rights you have.
Who we are. ScoresDeck is operated by ScoresDeck LLC, a company in the United States. ScoresDeck LLC is the controller of the personal data described here. You can reach us about anything in this policy at support@scoresdeck.com.
For business (venue and advertiser) accounts we also hold the organization's profile and address, the owner and staff accounts that manage it (staff passwords are stored only as hashes), wallet balance and transactions, and campaign performance (impressions by region). Card details are entered with Stripe and never reach our servers (section 6).
Where data protection laws require a legal basis (for example the GDPR in the EU and UK, or similar laws in Saudi Arabia and the UAE), the basis for each use is shown in brackets.
We do not use your information to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on you based solely on automated processing.
ScoresDeck is a social app, so some information is visible by design. Your username, display name, profile picture, bio and gameplay activity (matches, scores, comments, tournament results and badges) may be seen by other users — including followers and people watching a live match — and may appear in feeds, leaderboards and shareable match links, including link-preview cards shown by search engines and messaging apps.
Your profile page — username, display name, profile picture and bio — can appear in search engines such as Google, including when your account is private: a private account hides your stats and match history, not your profile page. To keep your profile out of search engines, turn off Show in Search Engines in Settings. A search engine may take some time to drop a page it has already listed.
You can limit what others see of your games with a private account and private matches. Anything shared publicly or through a share link may be viewable by anyone who has the link.
We work out your general location (country, state/region and city) from your IP address on our own servers, using a location database we host ourselves — your IP address is not sent to a third party for this, and you do not need to turn on location services.
We use it to show nearby venues and venue suggestions, to choose which sponsor ads to show, to record where a sign-in came from, and for aggregate statistics. We keep your most recent location while your account is active, and a history of past locations for 24 months, after which it is deleted. Sponsors can target ads by country, state or city but never receive your individual location — only aggregated impression counts per region.
Everyone sees sponsored content. Users without a Premium subscription also see Google ads:
Your choices:
"Selling" and "sharing". We do not sell your personal information for money. When Google shows personalized ads, some US state laws may treat this as "sharing" personal information for targeted advertising. You can opt out using the choices above, or by contacting us.
Premium subscriptions, Silver and Gold business plans, and business wallet top-ups are bought on the Site and processed by Stripe, Inc. You enter your card details on a Stripe-hosted page or in Stripe's secure form; they never reach or are stored on our servers. We keep your Stripe customer and subscription IDs, your plan, its status and billing dates, and records of wallet transactions.
Stripe may collect device and browser information to detect fraud when its software is loaded on the Site; this is governed by Stripe's Privacy Policy.
The App itself does not sell anything and does not use Apple App Store or Google Play in-app purchases.
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only as described here:
These providers process data on our behalf and under our instructions, except Google when it serves ads, which uses data under its own privacy policy as described in section 5. We only work with providers whose terms commit them to protect personal data with safeguards at least as protective as this policy and applicable law.
We may also disclose information when required by law, court order or a government authority; when we believe in good faith it is necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of ScoresDeck, our users or the public; or as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, in which case this policy will continue to apply to your information.
ScoresDeck is operated from the United States, and our servers are in the United States. If you use ScoresDeck from elsewhere — including the European Union, the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia or the United Arab Emirates — your information is transferred to and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from yours.
Where the law requires, these transfers rely on safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses included in our providers' data processing terms, and on the transfer being necessary to provide the service you asked for.
You can delete your account at any time in the App (Settings → Delete Account) or on the Site; you will be asked for your password. You can also request deletion by emailing support@scoresdeck.com — see scoresdeck.com/delete-account.
When your account is deleted we permanently remove or anonymize your email address, username, display name, bio, phone number, password, profile picture, preferences, location data, followers and follows, follow requests, pending match invitations, bookmarks and push-notification devices, and sign you out everywhere. Match results that involve other players are kept in anonymized form so their records stay accurate, and financial records are kept for the period required by law.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
To exercise any of these rights, email support@scoresdeck.com from the address on your account, or use the tools in Settings (edit profile, privacy controls, Where you're signed in, Ad privacy choices, Delete Account). We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request. We respond within 30 days, and will tell you if we need longer as the law allows. We will not treat you differently for exercising your rights.
Do Not Track. Our Site does not change how it works in response to browser "Do Not Track" signals. When you use the Site without Premium, Google may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites (section 5).
We protect your data with technical and organizational measures: passwords are hashed with Argon2id; all traffic to our servers is encrypted in transit; the Site keeps you signed in with a secure, HttpOnly cookie that scripts cannot read, and the App keeps its sign-in token in your device's secure storage; sessions expire after at most 60 days and can be ended at any time from Settings → Security; and access to our systems is restricted to staff who need it.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a breach affects your personal data, we will notify you and the authorities as the law requires.
ScoresDeck is not intended for anyone under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. In countries where a person must be older to consent to the use of their data online (up to 16 in some EU countries), users below that age may use ScoresDeck only with a parent's or guardian's consent. If we learn that a child under 13 has given us personal information, we will delete it. If you believe a child has created an account, contact support@scoresdeck.com.
session keeps you signed in. It is HttpOnly, Secure and SameSite=Strict — scripts cannot read it, it is sent only over HTTPS and never to other sites — and it is cleared when you sign out.You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings; the Site cannot keep you signed in without the sign-in cookie.
ScoresDeck runs an internal text-message program that alerts ScoresDeck staff when our production systems report a fault. It is limited to staff who provide their own mobile number for on-call alerts; ScoresDeck does not send text messages to users of the App or Site. For this program we collect only the participant's mobile number and the delivery status of messages sent to it, used solely to deliver operational alerts and confirm they arrived. Messages are delivered through Twilio Inc.
We do not sell or share SMS opt-in data or personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. Participants may reply STOP to any message to unsubscribe, or HELP for assistance. See our Terms of Service for the full SMS terms.
We may update this policy from time to time. We change the "Last Updated" date for every update, and for material changes we will also tell you in advance by email or in the App. If you keep using ScoresDeck after a change takes effect, the updated policy applies.
