ScoreKeeper privacy policy
Effective 12 August 2026
ScoreKeeper is a score pad for point-based games, made by Jeremy Griffes. It runs on your phone. It has no accounts and no server. This page is the privacy policy for the Android and iOS apps.
Nothing is sent off the device
The app does not collect, upload, or share your data. It does not request internet permission. There are no accounts, no analytics, no advertising, no crash reporters, and no tracking. No third-party SDK in the app collects information about you.
What you type stays in the app’s own storage on that device: SharedPreferences on Android, and NSUserDefaults on iOS.
What is stored locally
- Player names — the roster of people you have added, so they are there next time.
- Finished games — date, optional game name, whether high or low score wins, and each player’s name and total. History is kept until you delete a game or clear the app.
- An in-progress game — players, every score cell as you typed it, the win rule, optional game name, whose turn the clock was on, and remaining times, so a killed app can resume mid-round.
- Settings — sound on or off, the turn-clock length, and the last game name you typed on the setup screen.
Sounds (the score chime, the clock alarm, and the end-of-game cheer) are synthesised on the device. They are not recordings of real people. On Android, the generated audio is written to the app cache so the system can play it; that cache is not your scores or names.
Device backups
ScoreKeeper itself never copies data anywhere. If you use Android backup or iCloud backup, the operating system may include this app’s stored data in those backups, the same way it does for many other apps. That copy lives in your backup account, under that platform’s rules, not on a ScoreKeeper server — there isn’t one.
Children
The app is a household score pad. It does not ask for ages, emails, or location, and it does not show ads. Names you type — including a child’s — stay on the device. The victory cheer is generated audio, not a recording of children or anyone else.
Deleting data
On the setup screen you can forget a player. In History you can delete a finished game. Uninstalling the app, or clearing its storage in system settings, removes what ScoreKeeper saved on that device. Copies already sitting in an OS backup remain until you delete or expire that backup.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new text will be posted here with an updated effective date.
