01Who we are
iScore Limited (“iScore,” “we,” “us”) provides a mobile app that lets golf club members enter scores, submit digital scorecards, record their handicap index, and view live competition leaderboards.
Contact: info@iscore.ie. Our registered company address is at the bottom of this page.
02What data we collect
| Category | Examples | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Account details | Name, email, Golf Ireland CDH number, home club | To create your account and identify you within your club |
| Round & score data | Hole-by-hole scores, Stableford points, putts, fairways hit, greens in regulation | To record your rounds and work out your course handicap for competitions and social rounds |
| Handicap data | Your self-reported handicap index, and the course handicap we calculate from it | iScore is not yet accredited by Golf Ireland, so we don't track or update an official handicap for you — you tell us your handicap index and we use it to work out your course handicap for each round |
| Digital signatures | Your signature and your marker's signature on a submitted round | To verify and validate competition scores before they're recorded in your round history |
| Competition / leaderboard data | Live scores visible to other participants in the same competition | To show live standings during a round |
We do not collect more than we need to run the service. We do not sell your data.
03Why we process your data
We process your data because it's necessary to provide the service you signed up for — performing our contract with you.
05Who can use iScore
iScore is currently available to golf club members aged 18 and over.
06How long we keep your data
While your account is active:
- Signed round data: retained for 2 years after the end of the competition season in which the round was played, in case of a handicap dispute.
- Live leaderboard data: removed from the live leaderboard view within 24 hours of the competition closing; the underlying scores remain in your round history for the period set out above.
If you delete your account:
Deleting your account from within the app is immediate, permanent and complete. Your profile, round history, handicap data, digital signatures and competition entries are erased outright at that moment — this cannot be undone, and none of it is held back for the retention periods above. (Data belonging to other golfers — for example, a round you marked for someone else — is not affected; only your own account and your own data are removed.) See our Delete My Account page for exactly how to do this.
07Your rights
Under GDPR, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your data — see Delete My Account for how this works
- Object to or restrict certain processing
- Receive a copy of your data (data portability) — get the personal data you've provided to us in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, and have it transmitted to another service where technically feasible
- Lodge a complaint with the Data Protection Commission if you believe we've mishandled your data
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at info@iscore.ie. We'll respond within one month — if your request is complex, we may extend this by a further two months, and we'll tell you if that applies.
08Where your data is stored
Your data is hosted in the EU. We do not transfer your personal data outside the EU/EEA. We only work with processors who have a signed data processing agreement with us covering EU data handling.
09Changes to this policy
We'll update this policy as iScore adds features (e.g. GPS course maps) or changes how we process data, and we'll notify you of material changes within the app.
