Privacy policy

Last updated: 10 November 2026

Scoreboard is an online tool to create, manage and share scoreboards. Public scoreboards can be used without an account. Google Sign-In is only used to identify users and give access to private scoreboards.

Who is responsible for your data

Scoreboard is an independent, non-commercial project made and run by a private person, Thanasis Moiras (moiras.dev). It is not run by a company. This person decides how the data described here is used (the "controller" under the GDPR) and answers every privacy question and request at contact@moiras.dev.

What we store

• Scoreboards: game names, player names, scores, the round and the game code. Anyone with the code or link of a public game can see and change it.
• Google Sign-In (private games only): only the unique Google account identifier (OpenID) needed to recognize your account. We do not request or store your Google email address, profile name, profile picture, contacts, calendar, Drive, Gmail or any other Google data.
• Creating public games: to stop one person or script from creating masses of empty games, our server counts the public games created from each internet connection, up to 5 per hour. It does not keep your IP address, only a fingerprint of it made with a secret key that changes every time the server restarts and is never saved, so it cannot be traced back to your address. The fingerprint and the times are kept only in the server's memory, never in the database, and are deleted after one hour. This is based on our legitimate interest in keeping the service working for everyone (GDPR article 6(1)(f)).
• Your account in the app: a 10-character player code that others use to invite you, the display name you choose, which private games you have access to, and when you first and last signed in.

How we use it

Only to provide the scoreboard service: to create and show scoreboards, keep the scores live for everyone in a game, give access to private games and keep your account connected to them.

Cookies and your browser

When you sign in with Google, one necessary cookie keeps you signed in. Public scoreboards set no cookie. Your browser also remembers, on your device only, the public games you opened (the "This device" list), the leaderboard order you chose per game, and the light or dark theme. This is never sent to us, and there are no analytics, tracking or advertising cookies.

Who else receives data

We do not sell or share your data. The website and its database are hosted by a hosting provider that processes the data only on our behalf. Google takes part only in the sign-in itself, under Google's own privacy policy.

How long we keep it

We keep data only as long as it is used. Two rules delete it automatically, and you can delete your account yourself at any time. Our server checks both rules once a day, so a deletion can happen up to a day after the period ends. Deleted data cannot be brought back.

Scoreboards not changed for 365 days

• A scoreboard, public or private, is deleted when nobody has changed it for 365 days.
• A change is anything that edits the game: adding, renaming or deleting a player, changing a score, renaming the game, moving the round forward or back, inviting or removing an account, or leaving the game.
• Only opening or viewing a scoreboard, on a phone or on the big screen, does not count as a change.
• The whole game is deleted at once: its name, code, round, players and scores, and the list of accounts that had access to it. Its link then shows "Game not found".

Accounts not signed in to for 365 days

• An account is deleted when nobody has signed in to it with Google for 365 days.
• Every sign-in starts the 365 days again, even if you do nothing else on the website. Using the website while you are already signed in does not count: only signing in does. Because the sign-in itself ends after 30 days, anyone who uses their account regularly signs in far more often than that.
• Deleting an account deletes, at once: the account (its Google account identifier, player code and display name), the private game it created with all its players and scores, its access to the games it was invited to, and its sign-in on every browser.
• The private game of a deleted account is deleted too, even when invited players still use it. Invited players' own accounts and games are not affected.
• We cannot warn you before the deletion, because we do not store your email address. To keep your account, sign in at least once within every 365 days.

Deleting your account yourself

• On "My games", at the bottom, you can delete your account at any time. It deletes exactly the same as above, immediately.
• Public scoreboards have no owner: anyone with the link can delete one from its page.

Sign-in and your browser

• The sign-in cookie and its session on our server end when you sign out, or after 30 days.
• What your browser remembers (the "This device" list, the leaderboard order and the theme) stays on your device until you clear it in your browser. A game that no longer exists is removed from the "This device" list when it is opened.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete your data, and to receive a copy of it; you can also delete your account yourself on "My games". You can always use the public scoreboards without signing in. For questions or requests, email contact@moiras.dev or use the contact page. You can also complain to the data protection authority of your country.
