ScoreBox Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 21, 2026
ScoreBox is built by Dark Forest Studios LLC (“Dark Forest Studios,” “we,” “us”). This policy explains how the ScoreBox app handles information.
The short version: ScoreBox does not collect your personal data. We run no servers, there are no accounts, and nothing you enter into the app is sent to us.
No data collected by us
Dark Forest Studios operates no backend servers for ScoreBox. The app has no sign-in or account system and does not transmit your personal information to us. We have no means of identifying you or your device.
What ScoreBox stores on your device
So the app can work, ScoreBox saves the following in your device's local app storage only:
- The IPTV playlist details you provide: the M3U URL, or the Xtream Codes host and login.
- Your followed leagues, teams, and channels, and any channel pins.
- App preferences.
This information stays on your device. It is not uploaded to us, and it is removed if you delete the app.
Network requests ScoreBox makes
ScoreBox is a connected app and contacts third parties directly from your device:
- Public sports data. ScoreBox retrieves scores, schedules, and broadcast information from publicly available sports data endpoints (ESPN). These are anonymous requests, and no personal information is attached.
- Your IPTV provider. ScoreBox loads channel lists, program data, and video streams from the playlist server that you configure. Those requests go to your provider, exactly as they would in any IPTV app. That provider is a third party with its own privacy practices, which we do not control.
As with any internet request, the services your device contacts can see your device's IP address. We never receive it.
No analytics, advertising, or tracking
ScoreBox contains no advertising, no third-party analytics SDKs, and no tracking technologies. Apple and Google may provide us with standard, aggregated, anonymized App Store metrics, such as total download and crash counts. Those contain nothing that identifies you, and they are provided by the platforms, not collected by the app.
Children's privacy
ScoreBox is not directed to children and does not knowingly collect information from anyone, including children under 13.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “last updated” date above.
