2. Data Collected

BeloteScore is built on the principle of data minimisation. Here is exactly what is collected depending on how you use the service:

No personally identifiable data is collected. Game scores are saved exclusively on your device via the browser's local storage (localStorage). This data never passes through our servers.

B — Licence purchase (lifetime access)

When you make a purchase, the following data is processed:

Data	Source	Purpose	Server-side
Email address	Entered during payment (Lemon Squeezy)	Delivery of the licence key by email	Yes — Supabase

Lemon Squeezy payment ID	Lemon Squeezy webhook	Traceability & customer support	Yes — Supabase
Activation counter	Key activations	Prevent abusive multi-device use	Yes — Supabase
Payment card details	—	Never collected by BeloteScore	Never

Payment data (card numbers, banking details) is handled exclusively by Lemon Squeezy and never passes through BeloteScore's servers.

C — Visit statistics

Aggregated and anonymised browsing data is collected via Plausible Analytics: pages visited, country of origin, device type, traffic source. No personal identifier, no full IP address, no cookies.
