Privacy Policy

Overview

ScoreCheck is operated by Beach Volleyball Media to support live volleyball event scoring. ScoreCheck lets fans and scorekeepers submit score updates for matches being broadcast.

Information We Collect

We collect the information needed to operate live scoring, including:

• Scorekeeper display names entered in ScoreCheck.
• Scoring actions, corrections, timestamps, court assignments, and session status.
• Commentary-room presence, including your display name, join or leave time, connection state, microphone state, and speaking indicator when you join a room.
• Live microphone audio while you join a commentary room. It is sent through the audio service so commentators can hear one another and, when enabled by an operator, be included in the broadcast mix.
• Basic technical data such as browser user agent, approximate request metadata, and hashed IP/device identifiers for security and abuse prevention.
• Monitoring telemetry used by event administrators, such as camera, stream, router, access-point, server, and delivery health readings and their timestamps.

How We Use Information

We use information to:

• Operate live scoring, score corrections, scoreboard overlays, and administrative review tools.
• Show room presence and microphone status to people in the same commentary room and to authorized administrators.
• Prevent abuse, duplicate claims, spam, or unauthorized scoring access.
• Diagnose technical issues, investigate delivery problems, and improve live event operations.

YouTube Live Chat

ScoreCheck uses YouTube API Services to connect authorized commentators to their court's broadcast chat. The panel displays YouTube channel names, channel identifiers, messages, timestamps, and moderator or host indicators. A temporary window of up to 200 messages is held in memory while the chat is being viewed; audience messages are not saved to ScoreCheck's database. This window is cleared after the last viewer disconnects.

Google sign-in is optional for reading chat. If you sign in to reply, ScoreCheck reads your YouTube channel identity and sends only messages you submit. Your personal Google access token stays in the current page's memory and is discarded when you sign out, close the page, or the token expires. ScoreCheck does not store a personal Google refresh token. Posted messages remain on YouTube under YouTube's retention and moderation rules.

Signing out of the panel clears this page's access. You can revoke the app's Google permission at any time through your Google Account connections. YouTube and Google process information under the Google Privacy Policy. You may request deletion of ScoreCheck-held information using the contact below; manage messages already posted on YouTube through YouTube.

Sharing

We do not sell personal information. We may share information with service providers that host or operate ScoreCheck, including hosting, database, video infrastructure, logging, and security providers. We may also disclose information when required by law or to protect the service, event participants, viewers, or our rights.

Retention

We retain scoring records and session logs for event operations, auditing, troubleshooting, and abuse prevention. We delete or anonymize data when it is no longer reasonably needed for those purposes.

Your Choices

Do not enter sensitive personal information into ScoreCheck display name fields. To request access, correction, or deletion of ScoreCheck-related information, contact Beach Volleyball Media at nathanhicks25@gmail.com.
