Privacy policy

Last updated: November 9, 2026

This policy explains how Score Author, provided by Score Author, handles information when you use the Android app or this website. Contact us at scoreauthorsupport@gmail.com.

Scoresheets and local AI

Scoresheets, player names, scores, game settings, saved histories and learned name corrections are stored on your device. Score Author's speech recognition, command interpretation, game-reference assistance and supported image recognition run locally. We do not operate a server that receives your scoresheets, prompts, microphone recordings or selected images for these features.

Local processing is separate from advertising and other online services described below. The free version requires an internet connection. Premium includes offline access.

Microphone and selected photos

With your permission, Score Author accesses the microphone when you use its speech controls. Audio is processed on your device to produce text. You can edit recognized text before using it. Selected photos are processed on your device for supported recognition features. You can manage microphone and photo access through Android settings. Revoking access prevents the corresponding feature from working.

Advertising

The ad-supported version uses Google AdMob, including banner ads and optional rewarded ads that grant AI actions after a completed advertisement. Google's Mobile Ads SDK collects and shares information such as IP addresses (which can indicate approximate location), device identifiers including advertising and app set IDs, app and ad interactions, and diagnostic or performance information. Google uses this information for advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention, security and compliance. Google's SDK encrypts its collected data in transit.

For details, see Google's Privacy Policy and Google Mobile Ads data disclosures. Advertising providers control the retention of information they receive under their own policies. We do not promise that advertising information is used only temporarily or that deleting a scoresheet deletes data held by Google.

Your choices

You can delete saved scoresheets using the app's load screen. Android's app storage controls let you clear locally stored application data; this also removes saved settings and histories. Uninstalling normally removes app-local data, but separately exported files or device backups may remain and should be managed separately.

You can reset or delete your advertising ID where supported in Android settings. This does not prevent all advertising data collection, such as transmission of an IP address. Where applicable, advertising consent choices are presented before production advertising is requested; available choices depend on your region and the advertising configuration. Premium removes in-app ads, but does not retroactively delete information already received by an advertising provider.

Purchases

Development and playtest builds may use simulated Premium activation without taking payment. If a version offers real purchases, the payment provider handles payment information under its own policies. This policy and the store's disclosures will be updated to describe any purchase-verification service before that service is introduced.

Support messages

If you email us, we receive your email address and the information you choose to send, and use it to respond and investigate your request. Please avoid sending private scoresheets, recordings or images unless needed for your request. We retain support correspondence only as needed to resolve requests and meet applicable legal obligations. You can contact us to request deletion, subject to those obligations.

This website

This site is hosted by Cloudflare. Visiting it sends Cloudflare standard connection information, including your IP address and requested pages, to deliver and secure the site. These pages do not include advertising, analytics scripts, web fonts, or a contact form. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy for its processing practices.

Age group

Score Author is intended for people aged 13 and older and is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information through support, please contact us.

Changes and contact

We may update this policy as the app and its services change. The date above identifies the latest revision. For privacy questions or requests, contact Score Author at scoreauthorsupport@gmail.com.
