Privacy Policy
CricZoom is a live cricket scoring app run by the CricZoom team ("we", "us"). This policy explains what information the app and this website collect, why, who helps us process it, and the choices you have. We keep it short and specific to what CricZoom actually does.
The short version
- We collect what we need to run your account and show matches: your name, how you sign in, and the teams and scores you enter.
- Match scores, team names and player names are meant to be followed by others, so other CricZoom users can see them.
- We don't show ads, don't sell your information, and don't use third-party analytics or advertising trackers.
- You can ask us to delete your account and its data at any time.
What we collect
| Information | Where it comes from | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Your name | You, at sign-up | To show who created or scored a match |
| Google account ID, email address and profile picture link | Google, when you sign in with Google | To sign you in and recognise your account |
| Mobile number | You, if you sign in with phone and a one-time code | To send the code and sign you in |
| Teams, players, matches and every ball scored | You and other scorers | The core of the app: scoring and following matches |
| Sign-in sessions: device session records, IP address, app/browser type, last active time, number of sign-ins | Your device, automatically | To keep you signed in, let you sign out of other devices, and protect accounts from abuse |
| Which version of the Terms you accepted, and when | Your acceptance in the app | To record your agreement |
| Server logs (request path, time, IP address, errors) | Our servers, automatically | To keep the service running, fix problems and stop misuse |
One-time sign-in codes are never stored in readable form: we keep only a keyed hash, and each code expires after 5 minutes. Your sign-in tokens are stored in your phone's secure storage.
This website (criczoom.in) uses no cookies and no tracking scripts. Our hosting provider keeps standard access logs.
Who can see your information
- Other CricZoom users can see matches, scores, team names and player names, and the name of the person who scored a match.
- Nobody else sees your email address or phone number in the app.
Service providers we use
These companies process information on our behalf, only to provide CricZoom:
- Amazon Web Services — runs the app's servers and stores logs, in Mumbai, India.
- MongoDB Atlas — hosts the app's database, on AWS in Mumbai, India.
- Google — handles "Sign in with Google".
- SMS or WhatsApp delivery (Amazon SNS, or WhatsApp by Meta) — sends one-time sign-in codes, only if you sign in with your phone number.
We may disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect the safety of our users or the service.
How long we keep it
- Account information and matches: while your account exists. Matches you scored may stay visible to the teams involved after you leave, without your name, unless you ask us to remove them.
- Sign-in sessions: until they expire (at most 60 days without use) or you sign out.
- Server logs: 30 days.
Your choices and rights
You can view and change your name and sign-in methods in the app under Profile. You can also ask us to:
- give you a copy of the information we hold about you,
- correct it, or
- delete your account and its information.
Email [contact email — to be added] from the address linked to your account, or tell us the phone number you sign in with. We answer within 30 days. These rights include those under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
Children
CricZoom is used by club cricketers of all ages. If you are under 18, please use it only with the permission of a parent or guardian. A parent or guardian can ask us to delete a child's account using the contact details above.
Security
Connections to CricZoom are encrypted (HTTPS). Data is encrypted at rest, secrets are kept in a managed secret store, and access to production systems is restricted. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information and will tell affected users about a breach as the law requires.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy in a way that matters, we'll update the date above and tell you in the app.
