Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 20, 2026

Scorekeeper keeps your game data on your device. DevWorks LLC does not run any analytics, and does not collect, receive, or sell personal information about you. The app does show ads, and the free version contains Google AdMob, which collects data of its own as described below.

Data stored on your device

The following stays on your device and is never uploaded to us:

• Player names, colors, and scores for the current game. An in-progress game is saved locally so it survives closing the app, and is cleared when you start a new game.
• Whether to skip the first-run tutorial.
• Whether ads have been removed by purchase.
• An age category — see Age and ads below.

Advertising

The free version of Scorekeeper shows ads served by Google AdMob. To serve and measure those ads, the Google Mobile Ads SDK collects information including your device's advertising identifier, device and operating-system details, general location inferred from IP address, and how you interact with ads. This happens inside Google's SDK; that data goes to Google, not to DevWorks LLC, and we never see it in an identifiable form.

How Google uses it is governed by Google's Privacy & Terms. You can limit ad personalization in your device settings — on Android via Settings → Privacy → Ads, and on iOS via Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.

Buying the one-time “Remove ads” purchase stops Scorekeeper from requesting ads, and the advertising SDK no longer runs.

Age and ads

The first time you open Scorekeeper, it asks for your year of birth. This is used only to decide which ads are appropriate to request. Your birth year is not stored and not transmitted — the app immediately converts it to a broad category (for example “teen”), keeps only that category on your device, and forgets the year itself.

That category is used to tell Google's ad SDK to restrict ad content and, where applicable, to request ads without personalization. You can decline to answer, in which case Scorekeeper applies its most restrictive ad settings.

Purchases

The “Remove ads” purchase is processed entirely by the Apple App Store or Google Play. Scorekeeper never sees or handles your payment details. The app stores only a local flag recording that the purchase was made.

Microphone and speech recognition

Scorekeeper requests microphone and speech-recognition permission solely to power voice-controlled scoring ("add 10 points", "set to 25", etc.). Speech is converted to text by your device's built-in speech recognition service: Apple's on iPhone and iPad, and Google's on Android. Depending on your device and settings, that service may process audio on the device or send it to Apple or Google's servers, and is governed by their privacy policies rather than ours. Scorekeeper itself does not record, store, or transmit audio, and does not send audio or transcripts to DevWorks LLC.

Siri Shortcuts

Player names are written to standard on-device app storage so Siri can resolve "add points to <player>" without the app open. This data stays on your device and is used only to enable that command.

Children

Scorekeeper is intended for people aged 13 and over and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information, contact us at the address below and we will address it.

Changes

If this policy changes materially, the date at the top of this page will be updated and the revised policy posted here.
