Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 10, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Bowling Scorecard Manager ("we," "our," or "the app") handles information when you use our website and web application located at https://www.bsmanager.app.

We believe in keeping things simple, transparent, and focused solely on providing a great tournament management experience.

1. Information We Collect

Because Bowling Scorecard Manager is a tool designed to track and manage bowling tournament data, we only collect the minimum information necessary to run the application:

  • Tournament Data: This includes tournament configurations, lane conditions, fee structures, financial rules, and prize fund distributions.
  • Player and Score Data: This includes player names, round-by-round scratch scores, handicap values, and side-game entries.
  • Account/Authentication Info: If you log in to access the Manager Dashboard, we may process essential authentication data (such as an email address or secure login tokens) via our authentication providers to verify who you are.

2. How We Use the Information

We use the data collected strictly to operate and maintain the app’s features:

  • To calculate handicaps, series totals, final standings, and payout structures.
  • To display real-time standings on the Public Leaderboards for participants and spectators.
  • To secure the Manager Dashboard so only authorized users can edit tournament data.

We do not sell, rent, or trade any personal information or tournament data to third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.

3. Data Storage and Local Caching

As a Progressive Web App (PWA), Bowling Scorecard Manager utilizes local browser storage and network caching strategies to ensure the application loads quickly and can operate reliably.

  • Public tournament leaderboards are hosted dynamically so participants can see live updates.
  • Any essential technical identifiers or session data used to keep you logged into the Manager Dashboard are securely stored in your browser's local storage or cookies.

4. Third-Party Services

We may use trusted third-party infrastructure and authentication services to host the application and secure the Manager Dashboard. These services only handle your data to perform these specific technical functions on our behalf and are bound by their own privacy standards.

5. Publicly Accessible Data

Please keep in mind that the Public Leaderboards feature is designed to be shared with tournament participants and the public. Player names, scores, and tournament standings entered by a tournament manager will be visible to anyone who has access to the tournament’s public link.

6. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in how the app operates. When updates happen, we will change the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page.
