Who we are and what this covers

The ScoreBench ("we", "us") makes a basketball scoring app for leagues, tournaments, scorers and coaches. It is currently run by its founder as an individual in Guam, a United States territory. This policy covers our website at thescorebench.com, the scoring app at app.thescorebench.com, and the emails we send.

It explains what information we collect, why, who we share it with, what is shown publicly, and the choices you have. If you have questions, email [email protected].

Information we collect

We collect only what we need to run the app. We do not ask for players' birth dates, addresses, phone numbers or photos.

Account: your name, email address, password (stored securely by our login provider, never readable by us) and sign-up date.
Leagues and roles: league (organization) names, who is an admin or scorer, and invitations you send or accept.
Teams and rosters: team names and colors; player first and last names, jersey numbers and positions; and coach names if entered. These are entered by an admin, coach or scorer.
Games: events, dates, venues and courts, and each game's play-by-play log: scores, fouls, timeouts, substitutions, who played each period, and which account recorded each action.
Invitations: the email address of the person invited and which league invited them.
Payments: plan, billing status, renewal date, and for invoices a billing name, billing email and optional PO number. Card details go straight to Stripe; we never see or store your full card number.
Launch list: your email address, the role you picked (optional), and whether you confirmed.
Messages: anything you send to [email protected].
Technical data: IP address, browser type and request logs kept by our hosting and database providers for security and troubleshooting.

How we use information

To run the app: sign you in, save and sync games, build box scores, standings, leaders and eligibility reports, and let your league's admins and scorers work together.
To send emails you expect: account confirmation, password resets, league invitations, launch-list confirmation, and billing receipts and invoices.
To handle payments: start, change and cancel plans, and keep track of what your league has paid for.
To keep things safe and working: prevent abuse, fix bugs, and keep a record of game corrections so results can be checked.
To answer you when you contact us.

We do not sell personal information. We do not use it for advertising, and we do not run ad trackers. We count visits to our sites with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which uses no cookies and does not identify you: it records which pages were visited, the site that linked you there, your rough location (country) and your type of device and browser.

What is shown publicly

Game data is private by default. It is visible only to members of the league or the person who scored it, apart from the game recaps described below.

A league admin can choose to make an event public. When they do, anyone with the link, and our public scores page and website, can see that event's:

event and league name, dates, venue and court
team names, colors and coach names
players' names and jersey numbers, box scores, game logs, leaders and averages
live and final scores

Public pages never show email addresses, account details, or which scorer recorded each play. League admins decide what is public and are responsible for having permission to publish their players' names. To ask for a player's name to be removed from a public page, contact the league or email us.

Game recaps. We may write short articles about games scored with the app, with the final score and a box score, publish them on our website, and let news outlets and other publishers republish them. A recap of a public game can name players, as its public page does. A recap of a private game never names players, coaches or officials: players appear only by jersey number, with a note that the scorer chose not to make names public. Team names can appear in any recap. To have a recap taken down or a team name changed, email [email protected].

We share information only with the companies that run parts of the service for us, only what each needs, and under their own privacy and security terms:

Supabase: database and sign-in (account, league, roster and game data).
Cloudflare: hosts the website and app, protects against attacks and counts page visits (requests to our sites, IP addresses).
Stripe: payments, invoices and receipts (billing name and email, card details, plan).
Resend: sends our emails (email addresses and email content).

Inside a league, members can see each other's names and roles, and admins can see invited email addresses. We may also share information if the law requires it, to protect people's safety, or as part of a sale or merger of The ScoreBench, in which case this policy would still apply to your information.

Children and youth players

You must be at least 13 to create an account, so teen scorers can use the app. If you are under 18, you need a parent or guardian's permission. We do not knowingly let children under 13 create accounts. If we learn that one has, we will delete it.

Many leagues score youth games, so rosters may include the names and jersey numbers of minors. Those players do not have accounts with us; their details are entered by a league admin, coach or scorer. Whoever enters a minor's name is responsible for having permission from the league and, where needed, from a parent or guardian, especially before making an event public.

A parent or guardian can ask us to remove or shorten a child's name (for example, to initials) by emailing [email protected]. We will work with the league to do it.

Cookies and storage on your device

The app saves some information in your browser so it works in a gym with bad Wi-Fi:

your sign-in session, so you stay logged in
games in progress, unsent plays, game clocks and unfinished setups, so nothing is lost offline
a copy of app pages and your recent data, so the app opens without a connection

This data is kept separate for each account on a shared device. It stays on your device until it syncs, you sign out, you clear your browser data, or you delete your account on that device. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. Cloudflare may set cookies needed for security.

Keeping and deleting your information

We keep your information while your account is open.

Deleting your account. You can delete your account at any time in Settings. This permanently removes your sign-in, profile, unfinished personal games, My Teams, saved rule sets, personal leagues, game credits and uploaded logos, and cancels any plan you pay for so you are not charged again. Your finished personal games stay, with your account removed from them, so their scores and any recaps remain: a public game keeps what it already showed publicly, and a private game keeps only team names, jersey numbers and scores, with every person's name removed. If you created a league, it is handed to another of its admins instead of being deleted; if you are a league's only admin, you will be asked to name another admin or leave the league first.

League data stays with the league. Games, teams and rosters that belong to a league remain with that league after you leave or delete your account, because other members rely on them. To remove a player from a league's records, contact the league's admin.

What we keep longer. Payment records are kept by Stripe and by us as long as tax and accounting rules require. Backups and provider logs may hold copies for a short time before they expire.

Your choices. You can see and edit your name and your league's data in the app, and ask us for a copy of your information or to correct or delete it, and we will respond within 30 days, by emailing [email protected]. You can leave the launch list using the link in any email we send. Depending on where you live, you may have more rights under local law; we will honor them.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit. Access is limited by account and league role, so members see only their own leagues' private data. No system is perfectly secure, and we will tell affected users if a breach puts their information at risk.

Where data is stored

We operate from Guam. Our providers store and process data in the United States and may use other countries.

Changes to this policy

We will update this policy as The ScoreBench grows. The date at the top will change, and for important changes we will tell account holders by email or in the app.
