Bowly is built local-first. Your bowling scores, statistics, and session data are stored on your device. Here's exactly how we handle your information.
Effective 1 March 2026
The short version: Your bowling data stays on your device. We don't sell your data. We don't run ads. We collect minimal analytics to improve the app, and your email only if you sign up for the beta.
Bowly is an Australian bowling companion app operated by Bowly ("we", "us", "our"), based in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. If you have questions about this policy, contact us at c.fallotin@gmail.com.
The following data is stored locally on your device using SQLite and never sent to our servers:
If you use Live Sync, the app connects to ComputerScore's publicly available live scoring pages to read your bowling scores in real time. We access the same data that is publicly visible on ComputerScore's website. This data is stored locally on your device.
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for their marketing purposes. Period.
We may share anonymised, aggregated data (e.g. "the average Bowly user bowls 3 games per session") for general reporting, but this data cannot identify any individual user.
We use the following third-party services. Each provider is required to protect your data to the same standard described in this policy:
We do not use any advertising SDKs, ad networks, or tracking pixels. We do not use Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework because we do not track users across other apps or websites.
Your bowling data is stored locally on your device using SQLite. This means:
Beta signup emails are processed through Formspree and stored securely. Analytics data is processed by PostHog with servers in the US and EU.

Email addresses: Beta signup emails are retained until you request removal or the beta period ends. To request removal, email us at c.fallotin@gmail.com.
Analytics data: Anonymised analytics data is retained by PostHog for up to 12 months and cannot be linked back to you.
