Privacy policy

Last updated: 3 October 2026

About this policy

This policy explains how DeucePoint (deucepoint.in), a free badminton score tracker, handles information when you use the website and its guides.

Data saved on your device

DeucePoint keeps the following in your browser's local storage, on your own device:

• Matches you score: player or team names, the point-by-point score, format and times.
• Your player list: names you have entered, so they can be suggested next time.
• Your settings: theme, last match setup and your analytics choice.

This data is not sent to us or to anyone else (except a match you choose to share live, below). It stays until you delete matches in the History tab, remove players in the Players tab, or clear your browser's data for this site. Because it is only on your device, we can't see, recover or delete it for you.

So that DeucePoint works without an internet connection, your browser also keeps a copy of the website's own files (pages, styles and icons). This contains no personal information.

Sharing, export and import

Score cards, WhatsApp messages and exported files are created on your device and only go where you choose to send them. When you import a file, it is read and checked on your device; it is not uploaded anywhere.

Live scores

When you tap Go live on a match, DeucePoint sends that match to our server (on Cloudflare) so anyone with its link can follow the score: the player or team names, the point-by-point score, the format and the times. Nothing is sent until you tap Go live, and only that match is sent.

• Anyone with the link can see the match. Links are random and not listed anywhere, but please only share players' names with their OK.
• Tap Stop sharing to delete it from the server straight away; the link then stops working.
• Otherwise it is deleted automatically 30 days after the last point.
• The link's id is never sent to Google Analytics.

Tournaments

When you create a tournament, its name, its description and start time (if you add them), its players' names and its games (who played, the scores, point by point when scored live, and the times) are kept on our server (on Cloudflare) so everyone with its link can follow it. Tournaments are private: there's no list of them, and only people with a link can open one.

• The view link lets anyone who has it see the tournament. They can't change anything.
• The collaborator link lets anyone who has it add players, create games and change scores. Only share it with people helping you run the tournament. The phone that created the tournament can reset it, so the old link stops working.
• The organiser or a collaborator can delete it. It disappears for everyone straight away and is erased from our server 7 days later (during those 7 days they can restore it). Otherwise it is deleted automatically 90 days after its last change.
• Please only add players' names with their OK. A tournament's link id is never sent to Google Analytics.

Analytics (Google Analytics 4)

We use Google Analytics 4, a service provided by Google, to count visits and understand which features are used, so we can improve DeucePoint. When you first visit, a short notice about analytics appears for a few seconds, with No thanks and OK buttons.

• Analytics cookies are on unless you tap No thanks. Google Analytics then sets cookies (named _ga and _ga_…) to recognise returning visits, and records pages viewed and actions such as starting a match, finishing a match, sharing a score card, exporting or importing data and changing the theme.
• In the EU/EEA, the UK and Switzerland, analytics cookies are off unless you tap OK. Google works out which applies from your approximate location.
• If you tap No thanks (or haven't tapped OK in the regions above), no analytics cookies are set. Google may still receive anonymous, cookieless signals (Google Consent Mode) that can't be used to recognise you.
• Recorded actions include only general details such as the match format, points per game or the number of matches exported. Player names are never sent.
• Like any website request, Google receives your IP address and browser details to deliver the service. Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses, and reports only approximate location (such as city or country).
• We don't use analytics data for advertising, and we don't combine it with other information about you.

You can change your choice at any time with Cookie settings, at the bottom of the match setup screen and of each guide page. Clearing this site's data in your browser shows the notice again. Google's own use of this data is described in How Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Hosting

The website is served by Cloudflare. To deliver pages securely and protect against abuse, Cloudflare processes technical information such as your IP address and browser details, as described in Cloudflare's privacy policy.

Children

DeucePoint can be used to score games for players of any age. Names you enter stay on your device. We don't knowingly collect personal data from children.

Your choices

• Turn analytics cookies off (or on) at any time with Cookie settings.
• Delete your matches from the History tab, or clear this site's data in your browser.
• Block Google Analytics on all websites with Google's opt-out browser add-on.

If we change how DeucePoint handles data, for example by adding accounts or advertising, we will update this page and the date at the top before the change takes effect.
