Privacy Policy

Last updated: 13 August 2026

This policy explains how information is handled when you use score-counter.com. We have written it to be clear for visitors worldwide.

1. Who operates Score Counter

Score Counter is an independent hobby project operated by an individual in India. The operator is responsible for the limited personal information described in this policy. Privacy questions and requests can be sent to reach.scorecounter@gmail.com.

2. Information handled by the service

Information kept in your browser

Game settings, player names, scores, rounds, play history, saved players, presets, theme, and similar app data are stored locally in your browser. We do not receive this game data. You can remove it using Clear all data in the app or your browser’s site-data controls. Because we do not keep a server copy, we cannot restore it.

Optional analytics

If you accept analytics, Firebase Analytics may collect limited information about how the site is used and about the browser or device used to access it. We use this information to understand overall usage, diagnose problems, and improve Score Counter. Analytics does not receive the player names, game names, scores, contact messages, or email addresses you type into Score Counter.

Information you submit

If you use the contact form, we receive the name, email address, message, and any optional diagnostic information shown before submission. If you join the mobile-app interest list, we receive your email address, platform preference, and optional feedback. We use these details only to manage and respond to the request you made.

Technical service information

Hosting, security, and content-delivery providers may receive ordinary request information such as an IP address, browser details, and timestamps when they deliver the site or protect it from abuse. This is separate from optional analytics.

3. Why we use information

Depending on the information and the law that applies, we process information to:

• provide the service or respond to a request you made;
• run optional analytics with your consent;
• maintain security, prevent abuse, and operate the site where permitted by law; and
• meet legal obligations or protect legal rights.

Where consent is the legal basis, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not make earlier lawful processing unlawful.

4. Analytics choices and local storage

On your first visit, Analytics remains off unless you actively select Accept analytics. Selecting Reject analytics, or making no selection, does not affect scorekeeping, offline use, or forms you choose to submit.

We store your analytics preference in local browser storage because it is necessary to remember and respect your choice. You can change it later through Privacy choices in the app footer. Rejecting after previously accepting stops future collection from this browser; information already processed may remain in aggregated reports or backups for the applicable retention period.

5. Sharing, processors, and international transfers

We use service providers, including Google services, to host and protect the site, store form submissions, and provide optional Firebase Analytics. They process information under their own security and privacy commitments and only for the services they provide to us. Information may be processed outside your country, including in India and the United States. Where required, transfers rely on recognised safeguards such as contractual protections.

We do not sell your personal information, use it for cross-context behavioural advertising, or share it with unrelated third parties for their own marketing. We may disclose information if required by law, to address abuse or security incidents, or in connection with a lawful transfer of the service.

6. Retention and security

• Local game data remains until you or your browser removes it.
• Contact and mobile-interest submissions are kept only as long as reasonably needed to respond, manage follow-up, meet legal obligations, or resolve disputes.
• Analytics information is retained according to the settings and safeguards available in Firebase Analytics and is deleted or aggregated when it is no longer needed.

We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards appropriate to this service. No internet service or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure. If a qualifying personal-data breach occurs, we will notify affected people or authorities when applicable law requires it.

7. Your privacy rights worldwide

Your rights depend on where you live and the law that applies. Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, India, the United States, and other countries may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction or objection, portability, withdrawal of consent, or information about disclosures. Some locations also provide a right to appeal our response or complain to a data-protection or consumer authority.

To exercise a right, email reach.scorecounter@gmail.com. We may need enough information to verify that a privacy request relates to you and to locate the relevant information. We will request only what is reasonably necessary and will respond within the period required by applicable law. You may also use an authorised agent where local law permits. We will not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right.

Game data stored only in your browser is controlled directly by you and is not available to us. Analytics information may not be reasonably linkable to your identity, which can limit our ability to locate a particular record.

We may limit or refuse a request where applicable law allows, including when we cannot reasonably link information to you, fulfilling it would affect another person’s rights, or we must retain information to meet a legal obligation. If local law gives you a right to appeal our decision, you may do so using the contact address below.

8. Links to external websites

Links to external websites are provided for convenience. We do not control those websites or their privacy practices, and their own terms and privacy notices apply when you visit them. This is different from the service providers described above that help operate Score Counter.

9. Children

Score Counter is a general-audience scorekeeping tool and is not designed to collect personal information from children. If you believe a child submitted personal information through a form, contact us so we can review and remove it where appropriate.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the service or applicable requirements change. We will revise the date above and provide additional notice when a change materially affects how we use personal information or a consent choice.

11. Contact

Questions, complaints, or privacy requests can be sent to reach.scorecounter@gmail.com.
