Privacy Policy
Effective August 31, 2026
The short version
scorechecker does not collect anything about you.
There is no account and no login. There is no analytics, no crash reporting, no advertising and no tracking of any kind. The app asks for no permissions: not your location, not your contacts, not your camera, not notifications. Nothing you do in the app is sent anywhere or tied to you.
The settings you choose are saved on your phone and stay there. Deleting the app deletes them.
The rest of this page says the same thing in more detail, and is honest about the one place where ordinary internet plumbing is involved.
Who is responsible
scorechecker is made and run by Ariel Remer, an individual in Ontario, Canada. There is no company behind it.
Questions, requests and complaints: hello@scorechecker.app. That is a real inbox and it is read.
What is stored on your phone
The app saves a small set of preferences on your device:
- Whether you have finished the welcome screens
- Your dark or light theme choice
- The teams you have marked as favorites
- The order you want the leagues shown in
- A version number, so a future update can read the file correctly
It also keeps a copy of scores you have recently looked at, so the app opens instantly and works when you have no signal.
All of this lives only on your phone. It is never uploaded, never backed up to us, and never linked to you. Deleting the app removes it. You can also clear favorites and change every setting from the Settings tab.
What is not collected
To be specific, because a lot of apps in this category do all of it:
- No account, email address, phone number or name
- No analytics or usage measurement
- No crash or performance reporting
- No advertising, no ad identifiers, no ad networks, no pixels
- No push notifications
- No location, at any precision
- No access to contacts, photos, camera or microphone
- No App Tracking Transparency prompt, because there is nothing to track
- No cookies on the website or in the app
- No data is sold, and none is shared for advertising
How the app gets scores
When you open the app it asks scorechecker.app for public league data: schedules, scores, box scores and standings. Those requests carry no account, no device identifier and nothing about you. They say only which league and which date you are looking at.
Two service providers are involved:
- Vercel hosts the website and the score service.
- Supabase holds a cache of public league data, so the same score is not fetched over and over. That cache stores league data only. It has no concept of a user and no place to put one.
Like every web server, Vercel records ordinary request logs, and those include the IP address a request came from. This is standard internet plumbing rather than something scorechecker does deliberately. Those logs are kept briefly by the provider for security and reliability, they are not used to build any profile, and they are not connected to anything else about you. This is the only place information that could identify a device exists at all, and it is why this page does not simply claim that nothing is ever recorded anywhere.
Both providers are companies in the United States. That means these requests are processed and stored outside Canada and are subject to United States law, including lawful access by United States authorities. Write to hello@scorechecker.app if you would like more detail about how these providers handle information.
Children
The app is built for teenagers, and parents and schools are expected to be the ones deciding whether it goes on a phone. That is the point of it.
Because nothing is collected from anyone, nothing is collected from children either. There is no account to create, no profile to build and no information to hand over, at any age.
If you believe a child has somehow provided personal information through scorechecker, write to hello@scorechecker.app and it will be deleted.
If you are in Canada
This policy is written to meet the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).
Purpose. The only purpose for which any information is handled is delivering scores to your app and keeping the service running securely. There is no secondary purpose. Nothing is used for marketing, profiling or research.
Consent. Using the app is your consent to that single purpose. You can withdraw it at any time by deleting the app, and nothing of yours remains with us when you do.
Accountability. Ariel Remer is the individual accountable for personal information under this policy, reachable at hello@scorechecker.app.
Access and correction. You have the right to ask what personal information about you is held, and to have it corrected. Requests are answered within 30 days. In practice the answer will be that there is none, because there is no user record to hold.
Retention. Nothing personal is retained. The public league cache expires on its own. Provider request logs age out on the provider’s schedule.
Transfers outside Canada. As described above, the providers are in the United States and information is subject to the laws of that country.
Complaints. If you are not satisfied with the response you get, you can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada at priv.gc.ca.
If you are in the United States
State privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act, give you rights to know what personal information a business has collected about you, to have it deleted, to correct it, and to opt out of its sale or sharing.
Those rights are available to you here, and exercising them is straightforward: no personal information is collected, so there is nothing to disclose, nothing to delete and nothing to correct. Personal information is not sold. It is not shared for cross-context behavioral advertising. There is no financial incentive program, and nobody is treated differently for exercising a privacy right.
To make a request anyway, write to hello@scorechecker.app.
Security
Because nothing about you is stored, there is nothing about you to lose in a breach. The service is served over HTTPS. The cache database is closed to public access.
If a breach ever occurs that poses a real risk of significant harm, it will be reported to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada and to affected individuals as soon as feasible, and a record will be kept.
Changes to this policy
If scorechecker ever starts collecting something, this page changes before that ships, not after, and the effective date above changes with it. Material changes will be noted in the app as well as here.
