The short version
Scorius has no accounts, no analytics, no telemetry and no third-party SDKs. Your match history lives on your own devices and is never uploaded anywhere. The only time anything leaves your device for a server run by the developer is when you start a Live Spectate session — and even then it is only the live score of that one match, for as long as it is being played. The developer cannot see your history, your stats or anything else.
Who the controller is
Scorius is operated by Tomáš Kalmus, a sole trader registered in the Czech trade register, business ID (IČO) 22478680, Petra Rezka 1114/8, Nusle, 140 00 Prague 4, Czech Republic. For everything described below he is the data controller, and you can reach him at [email protected]. Full contact details are on the Imprint page.
Given how Scorius is built, that role almost never comes into play: the only processing that happens on the operator’s side is Live Spectate, which you start yourself, and the legal basis is performance of a contract — providing the service you explicitly asked for (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). Nothing else leaves your device for the operator.
What Scorius stores — and where
Everything Scorius keeps lives on your own devices and in your own iCloud. Nothing here is uploaded to a server run by the developer — not your history, not your stats, not your roster. The one exception is described under Live Spectate, and it never includes any of this.
- Match history, per-sport rules, player roster and settings are saved in your private iCloud key-value store (NSUbiquitousKeyValueStore), with a local mirror on each device for offline reads.
- An in-progress match is stored only on the device scoring it — it is not synced.
- Workouts (heart rate, active calories) are written to Apple Health, and only when you explicitly grant access on Apple Watch.
Because sync uses your personal iCloud, it is covered by Apple’s privacy policy. The developer has no access to it.
Live Spectate
Live Spectate is off by default and starts only when you tap it. While a session is running, Scorius sends the live score of that single match — points, games, period, clock and the side names you chose — to a server operated by the developer on Cloudflare, so anyone you give the code or link to can follow along in a browser.
- Anyone with the code can watch. There is no password. Only your device can update the score; spectators can only read it.
- It is kept only for the match. The relay remembers just the latest state of the match, so a spectator joining midway sees the current score. That state is deleted automatically at most 4 hours after the last update, and 30 minutes after the match finishes. There is no history, no backup and no log of match content. Cloudflare, as the infrastructure provider, keeps standard operational request logs (technical metadata, not match content).
- Your history is never sent. Only the match currently being played, and only while the session is open. Sharing stops when the match ends.
- Nothing identifies you — except the names you type.No account, no device identifier, no IP logging beyond Cloudflare’s standard network protection. The only personal data that reaches the relay are the names you give the sides.
- Names are up to you.If you name a side with a real name, that name is visible to anyone with the code. Use a nickname if you’d rather not.
Spectator pages are excluded from search engines. You can turn the whole feature off in Settings, which removes the sharing option from the app entirely.
Naming a side after somebody else shares their data — only do it with their knowledge. If you come across a shared match carrying an abusive or otherwise inappropriate name, write to [email protected] and the session will be shut down.
Network & third parties
Scorius makes two kinds of optional outbound request, and you trigger both yourself. When you search for a golf course, the app queries the public golf-course database golfcourseapi.com to fetch course and par information; no personal data is attached beyond your search text. When you start Live Spectate, the live score goes to the developer’s relay as described above. If you do neither, Scorius makes no network calls at all beyond your own iCloud.
There are no advertising SDKs, no crash-reporting services and no usage analytics of any kind.
The complete list of third parties involved in running Scorius: Apple (App Store distribution, iCloud, HealthKit — governed by Apple’s privacy policy), Cloudflare (hosting for this site and the Live Spectate relay, acting as processor) and golfcourseapi.com (course lookup, only when you use it). Nobody else.
Website data & local storage
This website (scorius.app) sets no cookiesand embeds no third-party tracking scripts, analytics or advertising tools. Fonts are served from scorius.app itself, so simply reading the site sends not one request to anybody else’s server. The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages; Cloudflare, as the infrastructure provider, keeps standard operational request logs.
The site does store data in your browser, though. Everything below is needed for what you explicitly asked for — a theme that survives a reload, or a scoreboard that doesn’t forget the score when your screen locks. That is why there is no consent banner: this is strictly necessary storage under § 89(3) of Czech Act No. 127/2005 Coll. (the ePrivacy rule on terminal-equipment storage).
On every page (localStorage):
- scorius-theme— your chosen colour scheme (light or dark)
- scorius-sport— your currently selected sport
- scorius-lang— your preferred language (English or Czech)
These are written only once you actually switch something. Read the site and the store stays empty.
Additionally in the browser scoreboard (/score):
- scorius-active-match and scorius-schema(localStorage) — the in-progress match and its format version, so a single point survives a locked phone or a reload.
- IndexedDB “scorius”— the history of finished matches, including the names you give the sides. You type those names, and they stay here.
- A service worker and its cache— a copy of the page, so the scoreboard works with no signal.
- Persistent storage— the scoreboard asks your browser not to evict this data when space runs short. Some browsers will ask you; declining breaks nothing.
The spectator pages (/w/ and /watch) display a live score and store nothing; they are excluded from search engines.
None of this ever leaves your browser. It is not sent to any server — including the developer’s — and is not used for analytics, advertising, profiling or any other purpose. You can export and delete your history from the scoreboard, and clear all of it at once by clearing site data in your browser settings.
Health data
If you start a match from Apple Watch, Scorius can run a workout to record heart rate and active calories. This data is written to Apple Health on your device and is governed by your Health permissions. You can revoke access at any time in Settings → Health → Data Access & Devices. Scorius never transmits Health data anywhere.
Your control
- Export & import: you can export your full match history as JSON or CSV from inside the app, and import it back.
- Delete: deleting a match removes it from history and from iCloud sync. Removing the app and clearing its iCloud data deletes everything.
- Health: grant or revoke heart-rate and calorie access whenever you like.
Children
Scorius does not collect any personal information from anyone, including children. It is safe to use at any age, and it requires no account or profile.
Your rights under GDPR
If you are in the European Economic Area, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
- Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR)— request a copy of the data we hold about you.
- Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)— correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)— request deletion of your data.
- Right to restriction (Art. 18 GDPR)— limit how we process your data.
- Right to portability (Art. 20 GDPR)— receive your data in a structured format.
- Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR)— object to processing of your data.
Outside a running Live Spectate session, Scorius stores no personal data on the operator’s servers (the app uses only your private iCloud, and the website only local storage in your browser), so exercising these rights is straightforward: email [email protected] and your request will be handled within one month. For the data in your own iCloud and your own browser you need not ask anyone — it is already in your hands.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In the Czech Republic that is the Office for Personal Data Protection(Úřad pro ochranu osobních údajů), Pplk. Sochora 27, 170 00 Prague 7, uoou.gov.cz. If you live elsewhere in the EEA, you may also contact your own country’s authority.
