Privacy policy

Who we are

BoringScores is made by Paper Lamps (“we”, “us”), a one-person studio based in Nashville, Tennessee. This policy covers the BoringScores app and the web version at boringscores.com.

What we collect

Nothing about you. BoringScores doesn't ask for your name, email, location or contacts, has no sign-in, and contains no advertising, analytics or crash-reporting code. We don't sell or share personal data because we don't have any.

What stays on your device

To remember your preferences, BoringScores saves these on your device only (in the app's local storage, or your browser's local storage on boringscores.com):

• your favorite teams and their order
• your settings, such as spoiler-free mode, which leagues to show, theme, time format, and what to hide

We can't see this data. To remove it, use Settings › Clear favorites and settings, delete the app, or clear the site's data in your browser.

Where scores come from

Scores, schedules, stats, team logos and video highlights come from ESPN's public sports data services. To show them, your device requests them directly from ESPN's servers. Like any web request, this sends ESPN standard technical information such as your IP address, your device or browser type, and which games or teams are being loaded. ESPN's own privacy policy applies to that information. BoringScores is not affiliated with or endorsed by ESPN or any league.

On boringscores.com, a few of these requests (team lists) pass through our server on Cloudflare first, because ESPN doesn't allow browsers to load them directly. Our server only forwards and caches ESPN's public response; it doesn't store anything about you.

Fonts

The app downloads its typeface, Roboto Mono, from Google Fonts the first time it needs it, then keeps a copy. Google receives your IP address with that download, under Google's privacy policy. No other information is sent.

Hosting

boringscores.com and this website are hosted on Cloudflare, which processes standard request information, such as IP addresses, to deliver pages and protect against abuse. Neither site uses cookies or analytics.

Children

BoringScores is a general-audience app and doesn't knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children. Some games show betting odds from ESPN; you can turn them off in Settings.

Changes

If BoringScores ever changes how it handles data, we'll update this page and its effective date before the change ships.
