This page says the same things as the privacy page and the terms. Those are the full versions. Nothing here is a different rule — it is the same rule in fewer words.

What THRØ knows about you

Not much, and that is on purpose.

• A name you type in. It does not have to be your real one.
• Your darts. Every score, in every match you play.
• Whether you are 18 yet. Just yes or no — not your birthday.
• Who you play with, if you join a team or add a friend.

What THRØ never knows

• Your email address. There is nowhere in the app to type one.
• Your phone number. Same — there is nowhere to put it.
• Where you live.
• Your birthday.
• Anything about you from anywhere else. There are no trackers in THRØ. Nothing watches what else you do on your phone, and nothing here shows you adverts.

If you never sign in, THRØ knows nothing about you at all. Your matches stay on your phone. You can use it like that for as long as you want.

When the app opens, it checks THRØ's website for important news about your information. It does not say who you are when it checks.

Who can see your name

Nobody, unless you say so. A team's page on the internet shows the team's name and where it plays. It does not show who is in the team — it just says how many people there are.

If we don't know for certain that you are over 18, THRØ treats you as under 18. That is the safer way round, and it is the way round we chose on purpose.

Where you are

THRØ only knows where you are if you press the button that says so, and only for as long as you are looking at that screen. It is used to put nearby pubs at the top of a list, and then it is forgotten. It is never saved and never sent anywhere. While it is being used, the screen says so, and Stop is right next to it.

The rules

These are the things you agree to when you use THRØ.

• Put in real scores. Making up results spoils it for everyone in the league.
• Be decent to people. No bullying, no threats, no going after somebody because of who they are. No sexual messages or pictures — ever, and especially not to or about anybody under 18.
• Use a name that isn't somebody else's. Don't pretend to be another player.
• Don't share other people's stuff. Somebody else's photo, name or score is theirs.

Things you can't do until you're 18

Darts is played in pubs, so some of THRØ is for adults. This isn't us being awkward — it is what the law and common sense both say.

• Your name is not shown publicly.
• You are not suggested to people who don't know you.
• You can't add a photo of yourself.
• Some leagues and some competitions are 18-and-over. The app tells you which, and why, rather than just refusing.

If somebody is horrible to you

Two buttons, both in the app, and you don't have to explain yourself to anybody first.

• Block them. They can't reach you. They are not told. You can unblock later if you want to.
• Report them. A real person reads it and decides what happens. We answer within 24 hours. You'll be told what was decided.

If somebody asks you for your real name, your school, where you live, or to talk somewhere else — you don't have to answer, and you should report it. Then tell an adult you trust. That is not you causing trouble; it is exactly what the button is for.

If somebody is in danger right now, don't use the app — call 999. You can also talk to Childline any time, free, on 0800 1111, and they don't have to tell anyone.

Getting rid of everything

You → your profile → Delete my account. No emails, no "are you sure" three times, no asking us. Everything that says who you are is destroyed. Old matches stay, because a game is the other player's record too — but there is nothing left in them that points at you.

You can also ask for a copy of everything THRØ holds about you. That is your right, and it is free.

If you think we've got something wrong

Tell us first. If we handle your information badly and don't fix it, you can complain about us. The people whose job is to check on us are called the Information Commissioner's Office. You'll find them at ico.org.uk.

For a parent or carer reading this

THRØ holds no email address, no phone number and no date of birth for anybody. There are no third-party trackers or analytics in the app, and no advertising. A player whose age is not established is treated as under 18 by every rule that decides what other people can see. Location is off until pressed, never stored and never transmitted. The full detail is on the privacy page, and the assessment behind it is public in the repository as a Data Protection Impact Assessment.

This is a draft and has not been reviewed by a solicitor. Every claim on this page was checked against what the software actually does, and it is written to be understood by somebody around eleven or twelve. Neither of those is the same as being sufficient under the ICO's Age appropriate design code or Article 14(3) of the Digital Services Act. Have somebody qualified read it — and, better, have some actual young players read it and say which bits they skipped.
