Privacy Policy

Last Updated 19.10.2026

FinalScore is operated by Omer Erlich, trading as FinalScore (“FinalScore”, “we”, “us” or “our”). Contact: contact@finalscore.app. This Privacy Policy explains how FinalScore collects, uses, stores and shares personal information when you use the FinalScore website, applications and related services (the “Service”). We process personal information in accordance with applicable privacy and data-protection laws, including the Israeli Protection of Privacy Law, 5741-1981 and its regulations.

B2B Data Processing Layout (Holder vs. Database Owner): When uploading third-party data (such as customer or employee details of system users) to the platform, the business user serves as the sole "Database Owner". The Business acts solely in the capacity of "Holder" and/or "Processor". The responsibility for obtaining informed consent to collect the information, use it, its legality and reliability, falls entirely on the business user alone. The Business will never bear any liability toward third parties whose data was entered into the system through negligence or omission by platform users.

1. Information Collection

Types of Information We Collect

1.1. Transparency in Information Collection: Due to the nature of the service and Site activity, we collect and process the following information:

• Full name
• Email address
• Date of birth
• Country
• Gender
• Guardian or parent name and contact details, where applicable
• Information provided in event applications or registration forms, where that information identifies or relates to an individual
• Images, videos, files or other media uploaded in connection with an individual
• Technical information such as IP address, device/browser information and digital identifiers
• Transaction-related personal information, such as billing contact details, Paddle transaction identifiers and payment status; FinalScore does not receive or store complete payment-card details

1.1.1. Legal Clarification: In accordance with Amendment 13 to the Protection of Privacy Law, technical information such as IP address, location data, and digital identifiers is considered personal information to all intents and purposes, and we treat it in accordance with the required level of security and privacy.

1.2. Obligation to Provide Information and Consent (Amendment 13): You are under no legal obligation to provide the information, and its provision depends on your free will and full consent. It is clarified that the information is collected for the purposes detailed in Section 2 below.

1.3. Consequences of Non-Provision: However, non-provision of the required information may result in: blocking of the transaction/service.

1.4. Data Retention Period: We retain the information for the time necessary to fulfill the purposes detailed in this policy, or for a longer period if required by law (e.g., for bookkeeping purposes or legal grounds). Below are the main retention periods:

Private competition media: FinalScore operates an automatic retention process for music uploads, background videos and private competitor photographs. These files are scheduled for deletion from active storage after 90 days have passed from the later of the event's recorded end date or its last scheduled event day.

Deletion is performed by a daily automated process, subject to eligibility and safety checks. Files may be retained longer where an applicable legal hold, ongoing event, shared-file dependency or other documented exception prevents safe deletion. Certain seeded, demonstration or untracked files are excluded from the automatic process pending separate review.

The deletion of a stored file does not necessarily remove the associated historical application record, which may be retained to preserve application status, competition records or legitimate operational evidence. Guardian consent documents, difficulty sheets, public profile pictures, payment-related records and other files are governed by separate retention rules.

Deleted files may remain temporarily in provider backups according to the provider's backup-retention arrangements. FinalScore cannot delete copies previously downloaded and retained independently by event organizers, competitors or other authorized recipients.

2. Purposes of Using Information

2.1. The information will be used by the Business solely for the following purposes:

• Providing and operating the service
• Technical support and customer service
• Analyzing usage and improving the service
• Personalization

2.2. Data Retention: Different categories of personal information have different retention periods, depending on their purpose, legal requirements and operational necessity. The applicable rules, including the automatic deletion of certain private competition media, are described in Section 1.4. Other information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, subject to applicable legal obligations and documented exceptions.

2.3. Non-provision of information: Blocking of the transaction/service.

Use of Anonymized (Statistical) Information: It is hereby clarified that the Business collects Aggregated Non-identifiable Data on system usage patterns. The Business reserves the full and irrevocable right to make any use of this anonymous statistical information, including selling it to third parties, conducting future research, and training artificial intelligence (AI) models or algorithms, without any obligation to pay consideration of any kind to the user.

Transparency and Use of Data for AI Training: The Business clarifies that it may use anonymous technical information (such as usage patterns, performance data, and non-personally identifiable metadata) for the development, training, and improvement of artificial intelligence models and to improve the user experience. It is clarified that identifiable personal information (such as name, phone, or email) is not used to train these models without separate individual consent.

Algorithmic Transparency and Artificial Intelligence (2025 Reform): It is hereby clarified that some service decisions, content adaptation, or price determinations on the Site may be executed automatically through algorithms and/or artificial intelligence (AI) systems. The Business commits that the use of these technologies is conducted fairly and transparently.
