Privacy

BowlNight is a record-keeping tool for bowling league secretaries and treasurers. This page says what we keep and why.

What we keep

• Officers: email address and name, to sign you in and send league emails.
• Bowlers: names, scores and averages entered by the secretary. Email, phone, gender and USBC ID are optional and only used inside the league.
• Money records: dues, fund entries and receipt photos the treasurer adds. We do not take payments from bowlers.
• Recap sheet photos, kept for 90 days so a reading can be checked, then deleted.

What is public

If the secretary turns on the public page, it shows team standings, scores, averages and the schedule. It never shows email addresses, phone numbers or USBC IDs. Any bowler can be shown as initials only. The public page sets no cookies and loads no third-party scripts.

Automated reading

When the secretary asks us to read bylaws or a recap photo, or a bowler asks a question on the public page, that content is sent to Anthropic’s Claude to produce an answer. Nothing it produces is saved until a person confirms it. Bowler questions are logged without any IP address.

Visit counts

We count page visits with Vercel Web Analytics to see which pages are used. It sets no cookies, does not track you across sites, and records the page address without any query string, plus your country, browser and device type.

Where data lives

Data is stored in the United States (Neon Postgres and Vercel, US East). Canadian leagues should know their records are held in the US.

Deleting data

A bowler can ask their secretary, or us, to remove them. We anonymize their rows so the league’s past standings still add up. A secretary can delete a league from Settings.

Payments

Subscriptions are handled by Stripe. We store Stripe IDs only, never card numbers.
