Privacy Policy
Last updated 5 November 2026
The short version. We only collect what Score Right needs to work: your email to log you in, your name, your society's roster, scores and results, and anything you choose to add such as photos or your club distances. Your location is used on your phone to measure distances and isn't stored by us. We don't sell your information, we don't show adverts and we don't use tracking or advertising cookies.
Who we are
Score Right is run by Score Right Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 17559309), registered office 6 St. Edmunds Way, Harlow, England, CM17 0BN. We are the controller of the personal information described here and are registered with the Information Commissioner's Office (registration number ZC292712).
Questions or requests about your information: hello@scoreright.golf.
This policy covers the Score Right app (iPhone, Android and web), the website scoreright.golf, and societies that use Score Right with a society code instead of logins.
What we collect
Your account
- Your email address, used to send your 6-digit login code and to contact you about your account.
- Your name as you enter it, and which roster player you are in each society.
- The societies you belong to and your role in each (owner, admin or member).
- Your Members Plus status: when your free trial started and, once paid plans are available, when your plan runs until.
Your golf
- Scores, putts, fairways and hole challenge claims you or your group enter, and the results, leaderboards, History and Trophy Room entries made from them.
- Handicaps: the society handicap your captain sets, any official index you type in, and the Score Right estimate we work out from your rounds.
- Your bag: the clubs you add, how far you hit them and shots you choose to save after using Mark Ball.
- Photos you upload: headshots, team photos and Trophy Room pictures.
- Courses and tees you pick, and events on your society's Schedule.
People added by a captain
Captains and admins can add players to their society's roster, with a name, handicap and photo, even if those players don't have a login. Captains must only add people who are happy to be included (see our Terms). Anyone on a roster can ask us to correct or remove their details.
Location
If you allow it, the GPS screen uses your phone's location to measure distances to the green and hazards and to measure your shots. This happens on your phone: we don't store where you are. Two features send a location to our server: "Courses near me" sends your position so we can list nearby courses, and the wind reading sends the position of the course (not you). We keep a rounded version (to about 1 km) for up to 30 days so the same answer can be reused.
Watching rounds
When you watch someone's round, the players in it can see your name and how long you've been watching. This is cleared within an hour of you stopping.
On your phone
The app keeps your login, your settings and a copy of your society's scores on your phone (so you can score with no signal). This stays on the device and is cleared when you log out. We don't use cookies for advertising or tracking, and we don't use analytics services.
Payments (when available)
Paid plans will be bought through Apple, Google or our payment provider, Stripe. They handle your card details; we only receive confirmation of what you bought and when it runs until.
How we use it and why
| What we do | Our legal basis |
|---|---|
| Log you in, run your societies, scorecards, leaderboards, handicaps, GPS and the rest of the app | Providing the service you asked for (contract) |
| Show your name, scores and photos to the other members of your societies | Contract, and our and your society's legitimate interest in running society golf |
| Keep rosters that include players without a login | Your society's legitimate interest in running its events |
| Use your location on your phone for distances | Your permission, which you can withdraw in your phone's settings |
| Keep the service secure, prevent misuse and fix problems | Our legitimate interests |
| Manage Members Plus and payments | Contract, and our legal duty to keep financial records |
We don't use your information for advertising, we don't sell it and we don't make automated decisions about you that have legal or similarly significant effects.
Who sees your information
- Your societies: members of a society see its roster, scores, results, photos and the names of people watching a round. My golf (playing on your own) is only visible to you.
- Companies that run parts of Score Right for us, under contracts that only let them use it to provide their service:
- Supabase (logins, database and photo storage, hosted in London)
- Cloudflare (hosting the app and website, and our server)
- Hostinger (sending login emails and our email inbox)
- Google (satellite map pictures and wind readings)
- golfapi.io, UK Golf Course Data API and OpenStreetMap (course details and maps; they only receive what was searched for or a rounded location)
- Apple, Google and Stripe (payments, once available)
- If the law requires it, for example a valid request from the police or a court.
- If Score Right Ltd is sold or merged, the new owner would take on this policy.
Some of these companies may handle information outside the UK. When they do, it is protected by the UK's adequacy rules or approved contract terms.
How long we keep it
- Your account is kept while you have one.
- You can delete your account yourself in the app ("Delete my account", under your name), or by emailing us. Your email, login and name are removed, along with your photo, your bag and My golf. Scores and results you played in stay in your societies' records under "Former member", so their History and handicaps still add up. A society where you're the only member with a login is deleted with your account.
- A society's information is kept while the society exists and for 12 months after it stops being used, then deleted.
- Payment records are kept for 6 years, as tax law requires.
- Deleted information may remain in backups for a short time before they are overwritten.
Your rights
You can ask us to:
- give you a copy of your information;
- correct anything that's wrong (you can change your name and most of your scores and profile in the app yourself);
- delete your information or your account (you can also delete your account yourself in the app);
- restrict or object to how we use it;
- send your information to you or another service in a common format.
Email hello@scoreright.golf and we'll reply within one month. It's free. If you're unhappy with how we've handled your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113, though we'd like the chance to put it right first.
Age
Score Right is for golfers aged 14 and over. If you're under 18, please show this policy to a parent or guardian before you sign up. We don't ask for more than we need from anyone, we don't show adverts, profiles are only visible inside your own societies, and your location is only used on your phone when you allow it. We don't knowingly hold information about anyone under 14 who has signed up; if you think someone under 14 has an account, let us know and we'll remove it. (A captain can still add a younger player's name and scores to a society roster with their parent or guardian's agreement.)
Keeping it safe
Information is sent over encrypted connections. Each society's data is kept separate by security rules in our database, so only its members can see it, and only captains, admins and the right players can change scores. If a breach ever put your information at risk, we would tell you and the ICO as the law requires.
Changes
If we change this policy we'll update the date at the top, and tell you in the app or by email if the change is important.
