This Privacy Policy explains what information Cricket League ("we", "us", "the Platform") collects, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data. By using the Platform, you agree to the practices described below.
1. Information We Collect

- Profile photo URL — if provided by Telegram's authentication.
We do not receive or store your phone number, Telegram messages, contacts, or any data from your Telegram chats.

We automatically collect information about how you interact with the Platform:

- Referral source (how you arrived at the Platform).
2. How We Use Your Information
| Purpose | Data Used |
|---|
| Provide the service (scores, predictions, game, leaderboard) | Account info, usage data |

3. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with:
- Hosting and infrastructure providers: Servers that store and deliver the Platform (e.g., VPS providers). They process data on our behalf under appropriate agreements.
- Analytics tools: To understand usage patterns and improve the Platform. Analytics data is aggregated and does not identify individual users.
- Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect our rights, safety, or property.
We do not share your data with sports data API providers. Data flows one way — from them to us (match scores and statistics).
4. Data Storage and Security
- Your data is stored on secure servers with restricted access.
- We use HTTPS encryption for all data transmission.
- Database access is limited to authorized personnel and automated systems.
- We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information.
However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
5. Cookies and Local Storage
The Platform uses browser local storage (not cookies) to save:
- Language preference — your selected interface language (EN, HI, UR, BN).
- Session state — to keep you signed in across page loads.
We do not use third-party tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or cross-site tracking pixels. No data is shared with advertising networks.
6. Data Retention
- Account data: Retained as long as your account is active. Deleted upon account deletion request.
- Usage and game data: Retained as long as your account is active for leaderboard and progression purposes.
- Technical logs (IP addresses): Retained for up to 30 days for security purposes, then deleted.
7. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access — Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Correction — Request correction of inaccurate data. (Note: your display name and username are synced from Telegram; update them there to change them here.)
- Deletion — Request deletion of your account and all associated data, including game progress, predictions, and leaderboard entries.
- Data portability — Request your data in a machine-readable format.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us via Telegram (@crickethubot). We will respond within 30 days.
8. Children's Privacy
Cricket League is not intended for anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If we become aware that we have collected data from a minor, we will delete the account and associated data promptly.
9. International Users
The Platform is accessible globally. By using Cricket League, you consent to the transfer and processing of your data on servers that may be located in a different jurisdiction than your country of residence.
