The short version: your players, scores and stats stay on your device. We don’t run accounts, we don’t have a server that holds your data, and we never sell anything about you. The app is free and supported by ads, which are served by Google AdMob — that’s the one part of the app where a third party collects information about your device. You can remove ads permanently with a one-off purchase, and if you do, the advertising system is never switched on at all.
Darts Score Tracker is a darts scoring app for Android, published on Google Play as com.eugeneburger.dartsscoretracker. In this policy, “the app”, “we” and “us” refer to Darts Score Tracker and its developer.

Everything you create in the app is written to your device’s own storage and stays there unless you choose to back it up. This includes:
Player names you enter
Match results, scores, averages, checkouts and other game statistics
Your recent games list
Any game currently in progress, so you can leave the app and come back to the same board
Small settings and counters — whether you have purchased ad removal, how many matches you have finished, and when you were last shown a rating request or a full-screen ad, so the app knows not to ask again too soon
We do not receive this information. It is not transmitted to us, and there is no account to sign up for. Uninstalling the app removes all of it.
Player names are whatever you type. You are free to use nicknames or initials — the app never requires a real name.
Backups are entirely optional and always started by you. Nothing is backed up automatically.
If you choose this, you sign in with Google and the app saves a backup file containing only your saved players and your recent games list into your Drive app data folder. This is a private area of your own Google Drive that only this app can read or write — it is not visible among your normal Drive files, and it is not shared with us or anyone else. The app requests only the drive.appdata permission, which cannot access any of your other Drive content.
While you are signed in, the app displays your Google account email so you can see which account the backup belongs to. That email is shown on screen only; it is not stored by the app and not sent anywhere.
You can disconnect at any time from Settings, or revoke access entirely at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
You pick a folder on your device or SD card and the app writes the same backup file there. It never leaves your device unless you move it yourself.
The app is free and supported by advertising provided by Google AdMob.
Banner ads appear on the Home, Players, Rules and Settings screens, and a full-screen ad may occasionally appear between matches. There are deliberately no ads on the 501 or Killer scoring screens while you are playing.
To serve and measure ads, Google and its advertising partners may collect and process:
Your device’s advertising ID, a resettable identifier
IP address, and approximate location derived from it
Device information such as model, operating system version and language
Interactions with ads shown to you, for reporting and fraud prevention
This data is collected by Google, not by us. We never see it, and we receive only anonymous, aggregated reports such as how many ads were shown. For details of how Google uses this information, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and the Google Privacy Policy.
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland or another region with equivalent rules, the app shows a Google-provided consent form the first time it runs, where you choose whether your data may be used for personalised advertising. You can change that choice at any time from Settings → Ad privacy settings.
Wherever you are, you can limit ad tracking on your device via Android Settings → Privacy → Ads, where you can also reset or delete your advertising ID.
If you purchase Remove Ads, no ads are shown to you again. In that case the advertising system is never started at all — no consent form is shown, no advertising ID is read, and no ad requests are made from the app.
The optional Remove Ads purchase is handled entirely by Google Play Billing. Your payment details go to Google and are never seen by, or available to, the app or to us.
The app stores only a simple flag on your device recording that the purchase was made, and asks Google Play whether your account owns the purchase so it can be restored on a new device or after reinstalling. See Google’s payments privacy notice.
If you bought the app before it became free and ad-supported, your existing purchase continues to remove ads. Nothing is required from you.
Google Play services — required for app distribution, updates and billing.
Google Play in-app review — if you are asked to rate the app, the rating dialog is provided by Google Play. We are not told whether you rated it or what you said, and the app limits how often it may ask.
Expo Updates — on launch, the app checks Expo’s update service for app improvements. This check sends technical information such as your app version, platform and update channel. It does not include any of your players, scores or personal information.
We do not require or offer accounts, logins or registration to use the app.
We do not run analytics, crash-reporting or tracking software of our own.
We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, precise GPS location, or any health or financial information.
We do not sell, rent or trade personal information, and we do not share your data with third parties beyond the services described above.
The app is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. Ad content is limited to a “Teen” maturity rating or lower. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, contact us and we will address it.
Because your data lives on your device, you are in direct control of it:
Delete everything — uninstall the app, or use the reset options inside it.
Delete a Drive backup — remove the app’s access at myaccount.google.com/permissions, which deletes its app data folder.
Delete a local backup — delete the file from the folder you chose.
Change your ad consent — Settings → Ad privacy settings.
Reset or remove your advertising ID — Android Settings → Privacy → Ads.
Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to access, correct, export, restrict or object to processing of your personal information, and to lodge a complaint with your data protection authority.
European Economic Area and United Kingdom — rights under the GDPR and UK GDPR. Where the app serves personalised ads, the legal basis is your consent, given through the consent form and withdrawable at any time.
South Africa — rights under the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA). Complaints may be made to the Information Regulator at inforegulator.org.za.
California and other US states — we do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined by state privacy laws. You may still exercise applicable rights by contacting us.
Since we hold no personal information about you ourselves, most requests are fulfilled directly on your device or through Google. We will help you with either — just get in touch.
Data stays on your device until you delete it or uninstall the app. Drive backups remain in your app data folder until you remove them or revoke access. Data handled by Google for advertising and billing is retained according to Google’s own policies.
There is no server of ours holding your information, which removes an entire category of risk. Backups sent to Google Drive travel over encrypted connections. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We may update this policy as the app changes. The “last updated” date at the top will always reflect the current version, and material changes will be noted in the app’s release notes. Continuing to use the app after an update means you accept the revised policy.
