S7 DARTS

Privacy policy

Last updated 26 October 2026

This policy covers the S7 Darts app: the app for Android and iPhone and its web app. It is run by Samuel Thomas (S7 Web / S7 Gaming). If you have a question about your information, email [email protected].

Your account

You can make an account in the app with your email address (we email you a code to check it) or with Apple or Google. You give your first and last name, which other players see, and confirm you are 18 or over; we don’t ask for or keep your date of birth. The app keeps your name, your email address or Apple or Google’s ID for you, and when the account was made.

You can add your email address to your account in the app, or change it, in Settings, Secure Your Account. The app then keeps it with your account, so you can sign in with a 6-digit code we email you. We use it only to sign you in and to tell you about your account (for example, that the email on it was changed), never for marketing. To check the address is yours, and each time you ask to sign in with it, we email you a code; these emails are sent for us by Resend, an email service, which receives your email address and the email. Codes are kept only in a scrambled form, work for 10 minutes and are deleted within a day, together with a scrambled form of the internet (IP) address the request came from, which is used only to stop too many codes being sent. You can change the email at any time.

If you play in the DK Darts league, which uses S7 Darts, you can also sign in to the app with your account on the DK Darts website (dkdarts.co.uk), the league’s own website, or link that account later in Settings, Ways To Sign In. From that account the app receives your name, display name, profile photo, nickname, the league you play in and your website account number, and the profile details you added on that website: your bio, the darts you use, your social media names, the ID of a scoring account you linked, and your website career figures and badges. Your password stays with that website. When you sign in with it, your email address or username and your password go straight from your device to the DK Darts website; the app’s servers never receive or keep your password.

In the app you can also add Sign in with Google, and on an Apple device Sign in with Apple, to your account, in the same place, and then sign in with them. Apple or Google then tells the app an ID for you, which the app keeps with your account to know it is you, and the email address it gives (with Apple you can choose to hide your email, and Apple gives one that forwards to yours). We do not get your Apple or Google password. For Apple we also keep a key Apple gives us, used only to cancel the link with Apple when you remove it or delete your account. You can remove either at any time.

When you create an account or ask for a new password, and after a few wrong tries at signing in, Cloudflare (a security company) may check that you are a person and not a computer program, so fake accounts can’t be made and passwords can’t be guessed. For that check Cloudflare receives your internet (IP) address and some details of your device and browser, under Cloudflare’s own privacy policy. It is not used to track you, and the app gets only a yes or no.

You can change your photo, nickname, the darts you use, your bio, who can see them and your social media names in the app, in Edit profile. What you change is kept by S7 Darts; if you play in the DK Darts league, it is also sent to your DK Darts website account, so your page there shows the same. Nicknames and bios are checked in the same way as names and chat. A photo you choose is kept by S7 Darts (and sent to the DK Darts website too, for a DK Darts league account) and used only as your profile photo. To change your name, message the S7 team.

What the app keeps

• Matches and stats: the scores you enter or your board records, match results, averages, checkouts and match history. Results of DK Darts league matches are also sent to the DK Darts website, and a league’s results to its own website when its organiser connects one, where they appear in the tables.
• Chat: messages you send in match chat, and in messages and S7 Support (see Messages).
• Friends and requests: your friends list, and requests you send to the S7 team (for example to add your name to the caller, for help, or to delete your account).
• Blocks and reports: the players you block, and reports you send about another player (what happened, your note and the match), and a copy of the match chat at the time, which is kept with the report even if an account is later deleted. The report and that chat are emailed to the S7 team, who are also alerted by a phone notification showing the players’ names and the note. The reported player is not told who reported them.
• Reports about you: if another player reports you, we keep the report, their note, a copy of the match chat and, for a cheating report, clips of your turns (see Camera). Reports are kept even if either account is deleted.
• Name and chat checks: to keep the app safe, names and nicknames, and chat messages, are checked against lists of offensive words. A name that matches may be replaced in the app, and the S7 team is told so it can check.
• Recordings: clips of your turns that you save. With a subscription, your 180s and 100+ checkouts are also saved automatically while Record replays is on, unless you turn this off. Whatever your plan, the turn that wins a tournament match is also saved automatically and shown on the tournament bracket (see Camera). Each saved clip includes a still picture and your scorecard. With a subscription you can choose up to six to show on your DK Darts website profile, if you play in the DK Darts league. Anyone you give a clip’s link to can watch it without signing in.
• News: which News posts you have opened, so the app can show what’s new.
• Settings: your choices, such as the caller, the name it calls you and your favourite doubles.
• Subscriptions: if you subscribe, which plan you have, when it renews or ends, and the look you choose for your player card (frame, card colour, banner, nickname and showcase). With Pro, your training plan and the results of the drills you finish in it.
• Pro practice games: with Pro, the score of each Shanghai, Halve-It, Catch 40 and Academy Challenge game you finish, and when, so you can see your best and your last games. They are deleted with your account.
• Error reports: when something goes wrong, a short technical report (what failed, the page, the device type, and which account it happened to) so we can fix it.
• Lag reports: if a match screen freezes or loses its connection, a short report with details of your device (its number of processor cores and its memory), its connection (the type, speed and how long messages take) and what the camera and recorder were doing, so we can find the cause. They are kept as error reports are.
• Sign-in key: when you sign in, the app keeps a sign-in key on your device, and S7 Darts’ servers keep a matching copy (the DK Darts website too, for a DK Darts league account), so the app can sign you back in by itself. Signing out or deleting your account removes it from both.
• Server logs: our servers note each request they get, including the internet (IP) address it came from, to keep the app running and secure.

Camera

If you turn your camera on, the picture of your board is sent live to your opponent and to anyone watching the match (including guests watching from a shared link), through S7 Darts’ own video servers. The camera sends picture only, never sound. Live video is not stored, but your turns are recorded for replays, as below. You can turn the camera off at any time.

While your camera is on in a match and Record replays is on, each turn is recorded on your device so you can watch it back and save it, and a red REC shows on your camera picture while a turn is being recorded. In the iPhone and iPad app, Record replays is off until you say yes: the first time you set up or turn on your camera, the app asks whether to record your turns and says what is recorded and kept, and nothing is recorded unless you choose Record my turns. Turning Record replays on in Settings, then Matches, asks you again, and turning it off stops recording. In the Android app and in a web browser, Record replays is on unless you turn it off, in Settings, then Matches. Turns you don’t save are only held on your device for a short time and are not sent anywhere, except as below.

Some turns are kept without you pressing Save. With a subscription, your 180s and 100+ checkouts are saved to your recordings. In a tournament, whatever your plan, the turn that wins a match is saved and shown on the tournament’s bracket in the app, where other players can watch and download it, and anyone with its download link can save it without signing in. It is kept for as long as the tournament is, unless you delete it in Recordings or delete your account.

While your camera and Record replays are on, your last two turns are kept on your device in every match, so you can watch replays. In online X01 matches, if another player reports you for cheating, the app automatically sends those two turns (picture only, no sound) and their scores to S7 Darts admins to review, or, in a league’s matches and tournaments, to that league’s organisers. You are not told when a report is made; the iPhone and iPad app says so when it asks whether to record your turns. A player can report you up to three times in one match, and each report sends your two most recent turns. Nothing is sent if your camera or Record replays is off. The clips are deleted 7 days after the review if no cheating is found, 14 days if there was not enough evidence, and 30 days after a warning or ban. If a report is never reviewed, they are deleted 30 days after it was made. Deleting your account does not delete them sooner.

A VIRT camera also films you throwing. When you use a VIRT, that picture is sent live to your opponent and to anyone watching, beside your board on your turn, unless you turn off Show my throw to opponents on the VIRT page or in the match’s VIRT settings. It is on until you do. It is not recorded.

Messages

You can message your friends, groups of players and other players (someone who isn’t your friend gets your first message as a request, which they can accept, ignore or report), and S7 Support. Messages are text only. We keep them, with who sent them and when, to run the chat, and they are private to the people in the chat. The S7 team never reads your chats, except the part someone reports: a report from a chat sends the S7 team that chat’s last messages (up to 30), up to the one reported, and nothing else of it. Offensive words are starred out before a message is kept. Report and block are in every chat; someone you block can’t message you, and their messages in a group are left out of what you see.

When you write to S7 Support, the S7 team reads that chat to help you, and each message you send there includes your phone or computer type, its system version, whether you use the app, a home-screen app or a browser, and the app’s version, so they can look into a problem without asking. Notifications for messages can be turned off in Settings, then Notifications, or for one chat in that chat. Deleting your account deletes your messages, your chats with one other player and your S7 Support chat.

Voice scoring

If you turn on voice scoring, the app listens for the score you say, only on your turn and only while the scoring screen is open. Your phone or browser’s own speech recognition turns what you say into text (on the phone itself where it can; otherwise through Apple’s, Google’s, your phone maker’s or your browser’s speech service), and the app reads the score from that text. No audio or text of what you say is recorded, kept or sent to S7 Darts. You can switch back to the keypad at any time, and turn the microphone off in your phone’s settings.

Smart boards and cameras

If you connect an OMNI board or a VIRT camera, the app talks to it on your own Wi-Fi. When you choose the Cloud connection for an OMNI, the app connects to a separate darts company’s online service (not S7 Darts, and not the OMNI’s maker), which runs the OMNI’s online connection, using the scoring account you linked, under that service’s own terms. Connecting a VIRT camera also asks a Google server for your internet address, to set up the video link. Finding a board on your Wi-Fi happens on your phone. When the app looks up your OMNI or VIRT through your linked scoring account, it asks that account’s online service directly, and keeps the account’s sign-in key (scrambled, never your password) with your S7 Darts account. If you play in the DK Darts league and linked that account on the DK Darts website, the app copies the link from there once.

Subscriptions

S7 Pro is bought in the app through the App Store or Google Play, or in a web browser by card through Stripe, which take the payment; S7 Darts never sees your card or bank details. In a web browser the payment page is RevenueCat’s, and Stripe sells the subscription on our behalf and handles the payment, tax and receipts under its own privacy policy, receiving your card details and the email address you give for the receipt (as it does for a subscription bought on the DK Darts website before S7 Darts). RevenueCat, a service that checks purchases for apps, receives your app account number (a random ID, not your name or email), basic details of your phone and app version, and your internet address every few hours while you are signed in to the app, even if you have never bought anything, so that a purchase the store took but did not pass on can still be found. If you buy in the app, it also receives your purchase from Apple or Google, and if you buy in a web browser your app account number and the purchase, and tells S7 Darts which plan you have and when it renews or ends. It handles that information for S7 Darts only, under its own privacy policy. You can cancel at any time in your phone’s subscription settings or, for a subscription bought in a web browser, from Manage on the Pro page or the link in your receipt email.

Notifications

If you allow notifications on your phone, the app sends S7 Darts a notification address for that phone (a code from Apple or Google that lets us reach it, not your phone number). We use it only to send you S7 Darts notifications: when your tournament match is ready, friend requests and challenges, when an opponent rates you, messages from your friends and groups and S7 Support’s replies, league news and tournaments opening, and new features in the app. Offers are only sent if you choose to have them. Apple (for iPhones) and Google (for Android phones) deliver the notifications, under their own privacy policies.

You choose which kinds you get in Settings, then Notifications, and you can turn them all off in your phone’s settings at any time. The notification address is deleted when you delete your account, or when Apple or Google tell us it no longer works; if someone else signs in to S7 Darts on the same phone, it moves to their account. Everything we send also stays in the app (news on the News page, ratings on your profile), so you don’t miss anything by turning notifications off.

What others can see

Players and spectators see your display name, photo, scores and stats in matches you play. If you have a subscription, other players see your badge and the look you chose for your player card. League tables, rankings and records show your name and figures (for the DK Darts league, on the DK Darts website too).

While you are signed in, other players can see when you are online, for example in friends lists, lobbies and Messages, unless you have blocked them or turned off Show me online in Settings. Players you have played online in the last 30 days see you in their Played recently list in Messages. S7 Darts admins can see when you are online even with Show me online off. They can also see which part of the app you are in (for example Home, a match, Practice or Settings) and when the app is in the background, so they can help players and run matches and tournaments.

After an online match, you and your opponents can rate each other out of 5 stars, as a player and for the board camera. The player you rate sees your name and the stars you gave them; other players only see each player’s average ratings, on their player card.

A player or spectator can share a link to a live match that allows spectators. Anyone with the link can watch that match while it is being played, including the board cameras, without an S7 Darts account; they appear in the viewer list as “Guest”. A match that does not allow spectators cannot be shared, and the link stops working once the match is closed to spectators. In the app, someone you have blocked, or who has blocked you, can’t watch your matches or make a link to them.

A match that allows spectators can also be watched live, board cameras included, on the Live page of the DK Darts league’s website (dkdarts.co.uk): by signed-in members, and by any visitor while it opens the page to everyone. Blocking a player does not stop them watching there. Friendly matches allow spectators.

What we do not do

No advertising, no selling or renting your information, and no tracking across other apps or websites. Information is used only to run the app, the leagues and tournaments, to keep players safe (reports, blocks and checks for cheating and offensive names), to fix problems and, if you choose, to tell you about offers. Services that run parts of S7 Darts for us use your information only to provide that service, and must protect it at least as well as this policy does.

The app’s headline font is loaded from Google Fonts, so Google receives your internet (IP) address when a page loads it, under Google’s own privacy policy. It is not used to track you.

Where it is kept, and for how long

Your information is kept on S7 Darts’ servers and sent over encrypted connections. It is kept while you have an account, apart from the records listed under Deleting your account. Error reports are deleted after 30 days. Recordings are kept for 30 days, or for a year with a subscription, and you can delete them at any time. A turn shown on a tournament bracket is kept for as long as the tournament is. Cheating-report clips are deleted on the timetable under Camera. Server logs are kept only as long as needed to keep the app running and secure.

Deleting your account

You can delete your account. This straight away deletes your profile details, stats, chat messages (match chat, messages and S7 Support), recordings, ratings, blocks, friends in the app, notification address, the email you added to sign in with, any Apple or Google sign-in (the link with Apple is cancelled), and settings:

• In the app: Settings, then Delete My Account (under your account, and again under Privacy & safety), then type DELETE. It happens straight away, and in other players’ past matches you show as “Deleted player”. If your account is linked to a DK Darts website account, we then delete that within 7 days; until then, its login can’t be used to sign in to the app.
• Without the app: email [email protected] from the email address on your account, with the subject “Delete my S7 Darts account”.

We will confirm when it is done. Some records are kept. Past matches and tournament entries stay as part of other players’ games, showing you as “Deleted player”, and results already counted in league tables and tournament records may stay there. Reports you made or that were made about you, with their chat copy, are kept for safety, and any cheating-report clips are kept until their deletion date. We also keep warnings and bans, a record of your plan and purchases, links you shared to matches, and a record of past sign-ins showing the type of phone. Error reports are deleted within 30 days. If you play in the DK Darts league, your friends list and your results on the DK Darts website are removed when we delete your website account.

Your rights

You can ask to see the information we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, or to object to how it is used, by emailing [email protected]. If you are in the UK you can also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk).

Children

The app is for adults (18 and over).

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new date.
