Every arrow you score already tells a story. Pooled with thousands of others, those arrows can answer questions archery has never been able to answer. The answers are what keep scoring free.
This page is the whole deal, in plain words, with the receipts. Nothing here is hidden in a settings menu.
The mission
Logginhood exists to get more people shooting. The core of the app is free for every archer. That core is scoring, your records, your history and getting your data out. It stays free. Paid features are always extras on top. Clubs pay a modest yearly tier for the committee tools if they want them. Advanced extras such as deeper coaching tools may join that paid shelf in time. What never happens is the free core shrinking to nudge you towards a paywall.
Free apps have to be paid for by something. Most are paid for by adverts or by quietly selling whatever they can gather about you. We do neither. We never share your details for adverts. Instead, Logginhood is paid for by the archery industry buying answers: pooled, anonymous statistics about equipment and performance that nobody has ever been able to produce, because nobody ever had thousands of real rounds scored on one platform that also knows the kit they were shot with.
That is the whole model. Brands pay for sentences about groups. The sentences pay for the app. Archers and clubs get a share of what the brands pay. We call it share the gold.
The deal
Three parts. Every one of them is something you can check rather than something you have to trust.
1
Nothing changes in the app. If you have ticked the research panel box in Settings, your rounds and your setup count towards the pooled statistics. If you have not, they do not. The box is off until you tick it.
10+
A brand asks a question. The answer comes back as a statistic about a group of at least ten archers. Never a name, never a score sheet, never one person. The ten-archer floor is enforced in the database itself, not in the interface, so no report and no price tier can go below it.
10p
At least 10p in every pound a brand pays goes straight back to clubs and archers. Panellists can be invited to paid surveys when they run. Your club earns a share when its panellists are active. That 10p is a public floor: it can rise, it will never be lowered.
Radical transparency
Written as a ledger, because that is what it is.
Only ever about groups of ten or more archers
At any price, on any tier
The receipts
A number beats an adjective. Here is where each rule actually lives.
Nobody is in the panel until they tick the box themselves. It is a true opt-in, not an opt-out buried in a welcome screen.
Settings, Research panelNo statistic leaves Logginhood unless it pools at least ten archers. The rule is written into the database views, so there is no report that can be tuned below it.
Enforced in the databaseArchers under 18 are excluded from every pooled view, independently of the settings switch, which they are never shown.
Enforced in the databaseUntick the box and your rounds are in none of it from that moment. No email, no waiting period, no questions.
Settings, takes effect immediatelyExport is always free, for archers and for clubs. Scores you delete go to Recently deleted, where you can restore them or remove them for good. Backups age out within 14 days.

ICO ZC191586What it looks like
These are illustrations of the shape of things, not screenshots. The numbers in them are made up to show the format.
Brands pay for research built on anonymised archery data. At least 10p in every pound that brands pay goes straight back to clubs and archers. Opt in and you can be invited to paid surveys when they run. Your club earns a share when its panellists are active. Off by default, adults only and your individual data never leaves the platform.
The real switch reads exactly like this. It starts off.
“Archers who moved to this riser gained an average of 14 points over a WA 720 within three months.”
One sentence about hundreds of archers, with the group size beside it. Nobody in that sentence can be identified, not by the brand, not at any price.

Ends: …
Pooled with 316 others → one statistic, n=317
Everything blocked out stays on the platform, always. The last line, the pooled statistic, is the only thing a brand ever receives. The coordinates on the second line are never stored in the first place.
Why say all this out loud
An app that hides how it is paid for deserves your suspicion. We would rather publish the rules, show you the switch on the front page of the explanation and say plainly that this is why the scoring is free. You are not the product. You are a panellist whose pooled answers fund the platform, earn money for your club and who gets a share of the gold for it.
The questions archers ask
No. A brand receives a statistic about at least ten archers and nothing else. There is no drill-down, no export of rows and no price that buys smaller groups. Your individual data never leaves the platform.
Then you are not in the panel and you never will be while you are a junior. You will not see the switch in Settings because there is nothing for it to do.
Untick the box. It takes effect immediately and your rounds stop counting from that moment. Tick it again whenever you like.
A share of what brands pay, earned when the club's panellists are shooting and scoring. It is weighted by activity, so a small active club does well out of it.
Brands buy answers about groups, not data about people. No row about you is ever sold, shared or exported to anyone. That is the difference. The ten-archer floor is what makes it a fact rather than a promise.
Because a paid app is an app fewer beginners install. The point is to grow the sport, so the free core has to be paid for by something. We chose the industry over your wallet, Robin Hood style, except nobody gets robbed: the app stays free, clubs and archers take a share of the gold and brands buy insights at a scale archery has never seen. A subscription would take money out of your range. This puts money into it.
Tick the box when you are ready. Or don't.
Scoring is yours either way, free either way. The panel is how the sport gets a research base it has never had and how that money finds its way back to the range.
