Integrity of shooters

Posted Sept. 29, 2011, 1:55 a.m.

Given the nature of our sports and the need for integrity of shooters, law enforcement and military personnel that can have benefit of competing and using Shoot’n Score It we have taken several steps to ensure this.

First of all, visibility to personal information about you as a shooter/user can be restricted as described below and is ONLY visible to other shooters using SSI (i.e. you need to be logged in to view this).

Secondly, if you are competing in a event then your competitor information (name, division, …) is visible to anyone (in competitor listings, results etc.) but any page containing personal information is tagged in such a way that it WILL NOT be indexed by Google, Bing or any other well-behaving search-engine. This means that if someone googles your name they will not get links to you and a shooting match.

Third, as a shooter/user within SSI you can restrict the visibility of your personal details and if organizers can search for you or not. Under your settings you can state that your information is ‘public’, ‘restricted’ or ‘private’. If ‘public’ your personal details will be visible to any other shooter if they click on your personal details anywhere, a organizers or someone managing a group can also search for you. If ‘restricted’ your personal details will NOT be shown to other shooters, but an organizers or someone managing a group can also search for you. If set to ‘private’ then not personal information is shown about you and you will not appear in any searches done within SSI. This last part will remove the ability for an organizer to add you to an event – so if set to ‘private’ you must yourself always register for events.

Note that information you have provided when registering a competitor is separate from your personal details and competitor information is always visible i.e. name, division, squad (but never search engine indexed) as this is the whole purpose with SSI. We do however restrict competitor information also so that if you are not ‘public’ then we will only show email and telephone to the organizers of the event.
