Privacy Policy

Effective November 9, 2026

Discores is a free disc golf score tracker run by Savidge Apps ("we", "us"). This policy explains what we collect, why, who can see it, and how to delete it. You can reach us at savidgeapps@gmail.com.

The short version

What we collect

Account. Your email address and a password (stored only as a salted hash). If you sign in with Apple or Google, we receive your email address (which may be a private relay address from Apple) and, if you allow it, your name. We never see your Apple or Google password. If you use Apple, we also keep a token Apple gives us, only so that we can tell Apple to disconnect Discores when you delete your account.

Profile. Your display name, your birth year (not your full birthday), and a confirmation that you are 13 or older. Optional: gender, years playing disc golf, a username, and a setting that lets people find you by exact email address (off unless you turn it on). We also create a friend code for you.

Rounds and scores. The courses you play, the date, your scores, the holes and pars the round was played with (you can change them while you play), and the names of the other players in the round. Names of people without the app are typed in by whoever scores the round. While you are signed in, the app saves each round to your account and restores your rounds from it when you sign in on a new phone or after reinstalling. If you delete a round, we keep only its identifier, with the date you deleted it, for 90 days so that another device of yours cannot bring it back.

Friends and safety. Friend requests and friendships, people you have blocked, and reports you send about another person or a course, including any note you write.

Courses. If you add a course, report a problem with one, or change the holes or pars of a round, we keep what you submitted and the account that submitted it. When you finish a round whose holes or pars you changed, on a course whose pars are not confirmed yet, the app suggests those pars to the course. We keep each suggestion, linked to your account, until another player's suggestion matches it and the course takes those pars (then the suggestions are deleted), or until you delete your account. The pars you enter when you add a course count as your suggestion too. Nobody else can see who suggested what. Your own rounds keep the pars you played them with, whatever later happens to the course.

Notifications (optional). If you allow notifications, Apple or Google gives the app a token that identifies your phone for notifications. We store it with your account so we can tell you when someone sends you a friend request, accepts yours, or scores a round with you that waits for your confirmation. We also keep a short list of notifications waiting to be sent, for up to 30 days. A notification contains the other person's display name and a fixed sentence; it never contains scores, courses or dates. You can turn each kind off in Settings, or turn notifications off for Discores in your phone's settings. We remove the token when you sign out or delete your account, and when Apple or Google tell us the phone no longer receives notifications.

Error reports. If the app crashes, or the server refuses something the app sent (for example a round that could not be saved), a signed-in app may send us a short error report: the kind of error, a short code, a brief message from which email addresses, identifiers, links, file paths and long numbers have been removed, the app version, and whether the phone is an iPhone or Android. A report is not linked to your account, and it contains no scores, courses, names or other content. We use reports only to find and fix bugs. We keep them for 30 days, then delete them. To stop one person from flooding the log, we count how many reports an account has sent in the past hour; that counter is deleted with your account. Guest mode sends no reports.

Technical data. Sign-in sessions and counters that limit how fast friend lookups can be tried. We do not run analytics or advertising software or use a third-party crash reporting service, and apart from the notification token above we do not collect your device identifiers, and we do not collect your IP address for our own use. Our hosting provider may keep ordinary server logs.

Camera. If you tap "Scan a friend's QR code", the app uses the camera to read the code. Nothing is recorded, saved or sent.

Guest mode. If you use the app without an account, your rounds stay on your phone and nothing is sent to us. If you later create or sign in to an account, the app asks before it adds those rounds to it.

How we use it

To run the app: sign you in, keep your rounds saved to your account and in sync across your devices, let you play with friends, show history and stats, keep people safe (limit abuse, review reports), and fix problems. We do not use your data to train models or for advertising.

Who can see what

We do not share your personal information with anyone for their own purposes.

Service providers

We use these providers to run Discores. They handle data only for us:

Course data comes from OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL), Overture Maps Foundation (CDLA Permissive 2.0) and Foursquare Labs, Inc. (Apache 2.0). It describes places, not people.

Keeping and deleting data

We keep your data while your account exists. A round you delete in the app is removed from your account and from your friends' view of your scores, but a friend who confirmed their own scores in it keeps those scores (without your name on the round). We keep the deleted round's identifier for 90 days, then it is cleared. You can delete your account in the app: Settings > Delete account and data. When you do:

Your rounds are saved to your account so you can restore them, which means they are held on our servers until you delete them or your account. We do not keep separate backup copies beyond the 90 days for deleted rounds described above. If you cannot use the app, email savidgeapps@gmail.com from the address on the account and we will delete it.

Your choices and rights

You can change your name, username, email-lookup setting and notification settings in the app. You can ask us for a copy of your data, or to correct it, by emailing savidgeapps@gmail.com. Depending on where you live (for example California, or the EU and UK) you may have additional rights, and we will honor them. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.

Children

Discores is for people 13 and older. We ask for your birth year when you sign up, and an account under 13 is not allowed. If we learn that a child under 13 has an account, we will delete it. If you think this has happened, email us.

Security

Passwords are hashed. Data is sent over encrypted connections, and access to each table is limited by database rules so that people can read only what they should. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong password that you do not use elsewhere.

Changes

If we change this policy in a way that matters, we will tell you in the app before it takes effect. The date at the top shows the latest version.
