Privacy policy of BowlingMaat
Version: 25 September 2026
In this privacy policy we explain how BowlingMaat handles the personal data processed through bowlingmaat.nl. We value your privacy and handle your data with care and in confidence, fully in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This policy was last updated on the date stated above.
1. What personal data we process
-
BowlingMaat processes personal data of visitors and customers of bowlingmaat.nl because they use our services and/or because they provide this data to us themselves.
-
Depending on how you use bowlingmaat.nl, we may process the following data: first and last name, contact details such as your email address and phone number, address details, data you enter in a contact or order form, and technical data such as your IP address and browsing behaviour.
-
We do not process more data than is necessary for the purposes described below (data minimisation).
2. Purposes and legal grounds
-
BowlingMaat processes your personal data for the following purposes: handling your question or order, performing an agreement, sending information you have requested, and improving our website and services.
-
We only process data on the basis of a valid legal ground under the GDPR: the performance of an agreement, a legal obligation, your consent, or our legitimate interest after a careful balancing of interests.
-
If you provide data on the basis of consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time.
3. Sharing with third parties and processors
-
BowlingMaat does not sell your data to third parties and only shares it when this is necessary to perform our agreement with you or to comply with a legal obligation.
-
With parties that process your data on our behalf (such as our hosting provider, email provider and payment service) we conclude a data processing agreement to guarantee the same level of security and confidentiality.
-
BowlingMaat remains responsible for these processing activities.
4. Scoreboard photos
-
When you scan or add a photo of a bowling scoreboard, BowlingMaat stores the photo privately, together with the scores read from it, so the scores of that game can be checked against it. Only you, the creator of the series and the admins of the game or league can see it. We do this to perform our agreement with you.
-
To read the scores from a photo you scan, the photo is sent to an external AI service (currently Anthropic or Google Gemini), which processes it on our behalf.
-
A scoreboard can show the names of other bowlers and sometimes people in the background. Please only photograph the scoreboard.
-
Only when you allow it in your account settings, we also use your photos and the scores read from them to train and improve our scoreboard scanner. This applies to photos added while you allow it. You can withdraw this consent at any time in the same place, after which your photos are no longer used for this.
-
A photo is kept as long as the game it belongs to, and is deleted when you remove it or when the game is deleted.
5. Cookies and similar technologies
