Privacy statement
Goool! is a free score counter and scoreboard that you use without signing up. This page explains what data the service handles and why.
Updated 13 October 2026
Controller
The service is run by Jussi Maaniitty, who is the data controller. Questions and requests about privacy: support@gooolscore.com.
Game and scoreboard data
When you create a game, the server stores its details so that everyone with the game's link can follow it: the game name, team or player names, scores and game settings. Names and settings of fixed scoreboards and venues are stored in the same way.
Player names may be personal data. Where appropriate, use first names, nicknames or team names – especially in children's games.
Games are deleted automatically 180 days after their last change. Fixed scoreboards and venues are kept until they are removed.
Data stored on your device
The app keeps a list of your games with their latest state, edit keys, your language choice, scoreboard connections and venue management keys in the browser's local storage (localStorage). This data stays on your device. It is required for the service to work and is removed when you clear the site data in your browser.
The site does not use cookies.
Usage statistics
To improve the service we keep daily counters, for example page views per language version, games created per sport and how often features such as sharing and scoreboards are used. The counters are plain totals and cannot identify an individual user.
To estimate the number of visitors, the server creates a hash of the IP address and browser identifier using a random value that changes every day. IP addresses are not stored, and the hashes are deleted the following day. No third-party analytics or advertising services are used.
Scoreboard codes
When a scoreboard code is entered incorrectly, the server stores the IP address and time to limit repeated attempts. They are deleted automatically, usually within 24 hours.
Server logs
The hosting server keeps standard access logs (IP address, time, requested page and browser details) for security and troubleshooting. Log retention is handled by the hosting provider, Domainkeskus.
Legal basis and sharing
Data is processed to provide and improve the service (legitimate interest). Data is not sold or shared with third parties. The site and its database run on Domainkeskus web hosting, and fonts are also served from our own server.
Your rights
You can ask for information about your data, ask for it to be corrected or deleted, and object to its processing. To have a game or scoreboard deleted, send its code to support@gooolscore.com. If you believe your data is processed unlawfully, you can lodge a complaint with the Finnish Data Protection Ombudsman (tietosuoja.fi) or your local data protection authority.
