Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what information we collect when you use CricRox, why we collect it, how we protect it and what choices you have. By using our website, you confirm that you have read this policy. If you do not agree with it, please do not use the website.

2. Information we collect

We keep data collection to what is needed to run the website and make it better.

Information you give us

You can read most of CricRox without telling us anything about yourself. We only receive personal information when you choose to share it, for example when you:

• send us a message through our contact form or by email
• subscribe to match alerts, newsletters or updates
• create an account, where this feature is available
• submit feedback, comments or reports about a problem

This can include your name, email address, the content of your message and any other details you decide to include. If you create an account, your password is stored in a protected form and is never visible to our team.

Information collected automatically

When you visit CricRox, our servers and tools automatically record certain technical details. These include your IP address, browser type and version, device type, operating system, language setting, the pages you view, the time and length of your visit, and the website or search result that brought you to us. We may also work out your approximate location, such as your country or city, from your IP address. We do not collect precise GPS location.

Cookies and similar technologies

We and our partners use cookies, small files stored on your device, along with similar tools such as pixels and local storage. Section 4 explains how they work.

3. How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

• run the website and deliver live scores, commentary and other features
• reply to your messages and give you support
• send alerts or newsletters that you have asked to receive
• understand how visitors use CricRox so we can fix problems and improve our content
• show advertising that helps pay for the website
• keep the website secure and prevent spam, fraud and misuse

We do not sell your personal information to anyone.

4. Cookies and how to control them

Cookies help the website work properly and help us understand what readers enjoy. We use three kinds.

Essential cookies keep the website running, remember your basic settings and protect against abuse. The website cannot work properly without them.

Analytics cookies show us which pages are popular, how people move around the site and where they run into trouble. This information is combined and used to improve CricRox.

Advertising cookies are used by our advertising partners to show ads and to measure how well they perform. Section 5 gives the details.

Where the law requires it, we ask for your permission before placing analytics or advertising cookies, and you can change your choice at any time through the cookie settings on the website. You can also delete or block cookies in your browser settings. Please note that blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the website work.

5. Advertising and Google AdSense

CricRox is supported by advertising. We use Google AdSense and may work with other advertising partners to display ads on our pages.

Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a person's earlier visits to our website and to other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies allows it and its partners to show ads to you based on your visit to CricRox and to other sites on the internet.

You can choose how your information is used for personalized advertising:

• You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings at adssettings.google.com.
• You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
• You can opt out of some third party vendors that use cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info.
• Visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are asked for consent through a cookie banner before personalized ads are shown, and can change that choice later.

If you decline personalized ads, you will still see advertising, but it will be less relevant to your interests. We do not control the cookies set by advertisers, and their use of your information is covered by their own privacy policies.

6. Analytics

We use Google Analytics to measure traffic and understand how visitors use CricRox. It collects information such as pages viewed, time spent on the site, device type and approximate location. We use this information in summary form to improve the website. You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available from Google.

7. Sharing your information

We share personal information only in the following situations:

• Service providers. We use trusted companies for hosting, analytics, email delivery, security and advertising. They may handle your information only to perform services for us and must protect it.
• Legal reasons. We may disclose information if the law, a court order or a government authority requires it, or if we need to protect our rights, our users or the public from harm.
• Business changes. If CricRox is sold, merged or transferred, your information may move to the new owner, who must continue to protect it under this policy.
• With your consent. We will share information in other situations only if you have agreed to it.

8. Third party content and links

CricRox may display data from third party sources, such as cricket data providers, and may contain links to other websites, social media pages and messaging channels, including our WhatsApp channel. Once you leave our website, we are no longer in control of what happens to your information. Please read the privacy policy of any site you visit.

9. Our legal grounds for using your information

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we rely on the following grounds under data protection law:

• Consent, for analytics cookies, advertising cookies and marketing emails.
• Legitimate interests, for keeping the website secure, preventing abuse and improving our service.
• Contract, where we need your details to provide an account or a service you asked for.
• Legal obligation, where we must keep or share information by law.

10. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you
• ask us to correct information that is wrong or incomplete
• ask us to delete your information
• object to or ask us to limit certain uses of your information
• withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting what we did before you withdrew it
• receive your information in a portable format
• complain to your local data protection authority

Residents of California have additional rights under California privacy law, including the right to know what information we collect and to request its deletion. We do not sell personal information and we do not share it for cross context behavioral advertising beyond the advertising described in Section 5, which you can control through the opt out options listed there.

To use any of these rights, email us at the address in Section 15. We may need to confirm your identity first, and we aim to respond within 30 days.

11. How long we keep your information

We keep personal information only for as long as we need it. As a general guide:

• Messages you send us are kept for up to 24 months.
• Account information is kept until you ask us to delete your account.
• Server logs are kept for up to 90 days.
• Analytics data is kept for up to 14 months.

We may keep some information for longer when the law requires it or when it is needed to settle a dispute or protect against fraud.

12. Keeping your information secure

We protect your information with measures such as encrypted connections, access controls, hashed passwords and regular software updates. No website or online service can be completely secure, so we cannot promise absolute protection. If we become aware of a breach that affects your rights, we will tell you and the relevant authorities as the law requires.

13. International data transfers

CricRox and its service providers may process information in countries other than your own, including countries whose data protection laws differ from those where you live. When we transfer information abroad, we take reasonable steps, such as using trusted providers and appropriate contractual safeguards, to keep it protected.

14. Children

CricRox is made for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has given us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
