Privacy Policy
Effective date: [Insert date before publishing]
This Privacy Policy describes how Ultimate Scorepad ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use the Ultimate Scorepad mobile app and the ultimatescorepad.com website (together, the "Service").
1. Information We Collect
Account information
If you create an account, we collect the information needed to set that account up, such as your email address and any display name you choose. This lets your saved games and scores follow you across devices.
Game data
We store the scores, game history, and in-progress games you save through the app so you can pick up where you left off and look back on past games.
Contact form submissions
If you reach out through our contact page, we receive whatever name, email address, and message you choose to send us.
Automatically collected information
We may use tools such as Firebase Analytics or Firebase Crashlytics to understand how the app is performing and to diagnose crashes. If enabled, this can include general device information, app usage patterns, and crash logs. This policy will be updated if and when these tools are added.
2. How We Use Your Information
To provide the Service
We use your information to operate core features, like saving your scores and game history and keeping them in sync across your devices.
To respond to you
We use contact form submissions to respond to game requests, rules disputes, suggestions, and other messages you send us.
To improve the Service
We may use aggregated, non-identifying usage information to fix bugs and improve the app over time.
What we don't do
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your data to serve third-party advertising.
3. How We Store and Protect Your Information
Where your data lives
Your information is stored using Google's Firebase platform (Firebase Authentication and Cloud Firestore), which encrypts data in transit. No method of electronic storage is 100% secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your information.
4. Sharing Your Information
Service providers
We share information with Google/Firebase as our infrastructure provider, solely to operate the Service. We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
Legal requirements
We may disclose information if required to by law, or if we believe in good faith that doing so is necessary to comply with a legal obligation or protect the rights, property, or safety of our users or others.
5. Children's Privacy
Our approach to children's data
Ultimate Scorepad is designed as a family game night companion and may be used by people of all ages under the supervision of a parent or guardian, but it is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information without appropriate consent, please contact us so we can remove it.
6. Your Choices and Rights
Accessing and updating your information
You can view and update your account information directly within the app.
Deleting your account and data
You can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us at [support email]. [This section will link to a dedicated account-deletion page once it's built.]
7. Cookies and Website Analytics
Current use of cookies
The ultimatescorepad.com website does not currently use tracking cookies or third-party analytics. If this changes in the future, this policy will be updated accordingly.
8. Changes to This Policy
How we handle updates
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page.
