Privacy Policy

Effective from September 1st, 2025

Welcome to ShowMyScore. Your privacy matters. This policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, when we share it (and when we don’t), and the controls you have. It is written for users in clear language, with legal details included where needed.

Plain‑English promise: ShowMyScore does not sell, rent, or cross‑promote your personal data. Your profile and verified scores are private by default and are only visible to others when you choose to share them (for example, via a unique link or QR code). You can revoke access to this public data at any time, and you can cancel your account and delete your data at any time.

1) Scope & Who We Are

This Privacy Policy applies to the ShowMyScore website, web app, mobile experiences, and related services (collectively, the “Services”). “We,” “our,” and “us” mean the ShowMyScore operating entity. “You” means the user (or a parent/guardian acting on behalf of a minor) and any visitor.

2) Key Principles

  • User control: You decide if/when to make your profile or a specific score visible through a shareable URL or QR code. You can revoke public visibility at any time from settings.
  • No selling or advertising “sharing”: We do not sell your personal information and do not share it for cross‑context behavioral advertising.
  • Security by design: We apply industry‑standard protections to keep your data safe.
  • Transparency & rights: We provide clear controls to access, correct, export, or delete your data, and to withdraw consent for optional features.

3) Information We Collect

3.1 Information you provide

  • Account & profile: name, email, graduation year, school/college, country/region, profile photo (optional), bio (optional).
  • Scores & proofs you submit: standardized test results (e.g., SAT/ACT/other), year/month taken, and any documents/screenshots you upload for verification.
  • Public profile content (optional): anything you choose to publish on your public page.

3.2 Information collected automatically

Device & log data: IP address, browser type/version, device identifiers, pages viewed, links clicked, date/time stamps, and referral URL.
Cookies & similar tech: strictly necessary cookies for login and security; optional analytics cookies (if enabled).

3.3 Information from third parties (optional)

Single‑Sign‑On (SSO): when you sign in with a third‑party account, we receive basic profile data (e.g., name and email).
Verification partners (if you choose them): if you connect a third‑party source to verify your score, we only receive what’s needed to complete verification. We do not store your third‑party passwords.
Sensitive data: We do not knowingly collect financial account numbers, health data, or precise geolocation. Please do not upload these.

4) How We Use Your Information

  • Provide the Services: create and maintain your account; verify scores; power your private dashboard and, if you opt in, your public profile.
  • Sharing at your direction: generate a unique link/QR to your profile or a specific score card when you explicitly choose to share.
  • Safety & integrity: detect/prevent fraud and abuse; secure accounts; monitor system reliability and performance.
  • Communications: send account notices (verification emails, important service updates); send optional tips and product updates (you can opt out).
  • Analytics & product improvement: aggregate and de‑identify usage data to improve features and reliability.
  • Legal compliance: comply with laws, enforce our Terms, and respond to lawful requests.
