Privacy Policy

1. What we don't collect

• No accounts, names, or passwords — there is nothing to sign up for.
• No game data — scores, team names, fouls and timer settings stay in your browser's localStorage on your device.
• No sale of personal data, no cross-site tracking by us.
• No location data, contacts, or device identifiers collected by us.

2. What stays on your device

To keep a refresh from losing the score, HooperScore saves game state (team names, score, clock, period, fouls, timeouts, theme preference) to localStorage in your browser. This data never leaves your device unless you clear it yourself via your browser settings or the app's reset controls. Sounds (horn/buzzer) are generated locally with Web Audio — no audio is uploaded.

3. What we may receive automatically

Like every website, our hosting provider may log basic technical data needed to deliver pages securely — such as IP address, browser type, and requested URLs — for security and reliability. We do not combine these logs with any personal profile, because there is none.

4. Cookies, analytics & consent

We use Google Analytics (G‑8RMBQ2E72B) to understand aggregate usage, but only after you accept cookies in the banner shown on your first visit. Until then, analytics and advertising storage stay denied via Google Consent Mode v2. Your choice is saved in your own browser (hooperscore-consent) and you can change your mind by clearing site data — the banner will appear again. Game data in localStorage is strictly necessary (it keeps the score on refresh) and is never used for tracking.

5. Advertising (Google AdSense)

We do not currently show ads. If we enable Google AdSense in the future, ads will appear only on content pages (homepage, guides, About and similar) — never on the interactive scoreboard at /scoreboard/, where accidental taps would be likely. When ads are enabled, Google may use cookies and the DoubleClick cookie to serve and measure ads and prevent fraud, but only after you have given consent in the cookie banner. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google's Ads Settings (adssettings.google.com) and learn more at policies.google.com/technologies/ads. Ads, when enabled, are served by Google as an independent controller under Google's Privacy Policy & Terms. Visitors in the EU/UK will be asked for consent through a Google-certified consent management platform before any personalized ads load.

6. Contact emails

If you email us athello@hooperscore.com, we receive your email address and message so we can reply. We use it only to respond and never share or sell it. Nothing is stored on our servers.

7. Children

HooperScore is usable by all ages (coaches, teachers, parents, players) and collects no personal information from anyone, including children. Because there is no account or data submission, there is nothing for a child to provide.

8. Changes to this policy

If we ever change how HooperScore handles data (for example, adding optional accounts), we will update this page and the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
