Scoreboard: privacy and terms of use

Scoreboard has no account and no server of its own. The match you are scoring and your settings stay on your phone. The only data that leaves it is a set of anonymous usage statistics and, when something breaks, a crash report.

I, Tiago Danin, am the developer and the controller of this data under the LGPD (Lei 13.709/2018). If you are in the EU, the GDPR gives you the same rights and I answer them the same way. Write to TiagoDanin@outlook.com about any of it.

What stays on your phone

The app saves the current match (its rules, the list of points scored, when it started and which side each team is on), the rules of your last match, the winning streak and your preferences for voice, sound, vibration and the introduction screens. That is what lets it resume a match after you close it. Teams are always Blue and Red: the app asks for no names and no photos.

The app also keeps a few numbers of its own: how many times you have opened it (it stops counting at 11), the day of the first and of the last launch, and how many matches had a result. They never leave the phone as they are; the statistics below only carry rough ranges made from them, such as "2 to 7 days since install".

Uninstalling the app, or clearing its data in Android settings, erases all of it.

What the app uses on the device

• Spoken score, off by default. When you turn it on, the score text goes to the phone's own speech engine, the one set in your Android or iOS settings.
• Screen always on while the match screen is open, released when you leave it.
• Sharing, only when you tap it. The app hands the system share sheet a line of text such as "Blue 21 x 18 Red", and you choose where it goes.
• Rating request. On the 3rd, 5th and 10th time you open the app, it may ask the store (Google Play, or the App Store on iPhone) to show its rating card. The store decides whether the card appears. Your stars and any review go to the store under its own terms, and the app never learns whether you rated it or what you wrote.

What the app sends

Google Analytics for Firebase records how the app is used: the introduction questions and the rules you pick (scoring, sets or time, deciding set, golden point, rotation), matches started, resumed, restarted, abandoned and finished (with the winning colour, the number of sets and a rough duration), sets ended, undo, scores edited by hand, the clock started or paused, sharing a result, rematches, the settings you switch and when a rating card was requested. It also records return visits, with the time since the last visit and since the first launch in ranges of days, the first match that reaches a result, and errors of the spoken score or the media notification. Each statistic is tagged with your current rules and switches, a range of matches played (such as "2 to 5") and the month of your first launch. Like any app using the SDK, it also records automatic events such as the first open and each session, together with an ID for this installation, the device model, operating system, app version and approximate location. On Android the SDK may read the install referrer (how you got to the app on Google Play). The app turns off the advertising ID, so the SDK neither reads nor sends it. The app does not send a user ID, because it has none, and does not use this data for advertising. Scores are never sent point by point.

When the app crashes or hits an error, Firebase Crashlytics sends a crash report: the technical trace of the error, the device model, operating system, app version and an ID that Crashlytics creates for this installation. The report carries no user ID and nothing you typed. Development builds of the app send none.

For this, the app now uses the internet connection. Scoring still works offline; the statistics and reports wait and go out when there is a connection.

Who else receives it

Google, which runs Firebase and processes this data on my behalf, on servers that may be outside Brazil, including in the United States. Their terms: Firebase privacy and Google Privacy Policy.

I do not sell this data, share it with advertisers, or hand it to a data broker. The statistics and crash reports are used to find bugs and to see which rules people play with, on the basis of my legitimate interest in keeping the app working. They are kept for the retention period configured in Firebase, after which Google deletes them.

Your rights

Since the statistics and crash reports carry no name or account, I usually cannot tell which ones are yours. You can still ask me what exists, ask me to delete it, or object to it, at TiagoDanin@outlook.com. You may also complain to the ANPD, Brazil's data protection authority.

Children

The app is not directed at children. I do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe a child's data reached me, write to me and I delete what I can find.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. A change in what is collected is described here before the version that makes it is published.

These terms apply to anyone who installs or uses Scoreboard on Android or iOS. Using the app means you accept them. If you do not, uninstall it.

Who provides the app

Tiago Danin, a private individual in Brazil, who develops and publishes Scoreboard. "I" and "me" below mean him.

What it is

A scoreboard for two teams. You set how the match is played, tap or swipe to score, undo the last change and follow sets or a clock on the screen.

The app keeps the score you tap, nothing more. It is not an official record of a match and it does not replace a referee, a scorer or a competition's rules. Check the result before you rely on it in a tournament or a bet among friends.

Price

Free, with no ads and no purchases.

What you may do with it

I give you a personal, free, non-exclusive and revocable licence to use Scoreboard on your devices. You may not resell or redistribute it. The name, the icon and the design are mine. Sport names are used only to describe how scoring works.

Liability

The app is provided as it is. A match lives only on your phone, so uninstalling the app, clearing its data or losing the phone loses the match too. To the extent Brazilian law allows, I am not liable for a lost or wrong score, or for damage caused by using the app. Nothing here removes a right that the law gives you and that a contract cannot take away, such as those in the Código de Defesa do Consumidor.

Changes

I may update these terms. The date at the top changes when I do.

Law

Brazilian law governs these terms. Anything an email cannot settle goes to the courts of Belém, Pará, without prejudice to your right as a consumer to sue where you live.
