Privacy Policy

1. Scope

This policy applies to cricketstandard.in, our public editorial pages, and any direct communications you send to us through the addresses published on the site. It does not override the privacy practices of third-party services you may visit from links or embedded media.

2. Information we collect

We collect only the information needed to operate, secure, and improve the site.

• Technical and request data: IP address, browser and device details, requested pages, timestamps, referrer information, and security diagnostics generated when you load the site.
• Direct communications: Any information you include when emailing us for editorial, legal, access, or security-related reasons.
• Newsletter subscription data: If you subscribe to our newsletter, we store the email address you submit and the source of the signup.
• Embedded media interactions: If you interact with third-party embeds, those providers may collect information according to their own policies.

3. How we use information

• Deliver pages, scores, and editorial content.
• Protect the site from abuse, fraud, scraping, and infrastructure attacks.
• Respond to general, legal, or security communications.
• Send newsletter updates you specifically request.
• Maintain logs, audit trails, and service reliability.

4. Legal basis and consent

We process information where needed to operate the site, protect our services, respond to lawful requests, and send communications you have asked for. Where a subscription or other communication is optional, we treat your submission as consent for that purpose.

5. Sharing and third-party services

We do not sell personal information. We may share limited data with service providers that help us run the site, such as:

• Hosting, CDN, edge security, and uptime providers.
• Email delivery or newsletter infrastructure providers.
• Media and social platforms when you interact with embedded third-party content.
• Professional advisers or authorities where required by law or to protect the service.

6. Retention

We retain operational and security data only as long as needed for the related purpose. Newsletter records are kept until you unsubscribe, we retire the list, or retention is no longer necessary. Security and abuse reports may be retained for longer where needed to document incidents or defend the service.

7. Your choices and rights

• You can ask what personal information we hold about you.
• You can request correction or deletion where applicable.
• You can withdraw from newsletter communications at any time.
• You can contact us if you believe information is inaccurate or handled improperly.

8. Security

We use technical and organizational controls to protect our systems, including transport security, access controls, content sanitization, and abuse monitoring. No internet service is risk-free, so please do not send passwords, banking details, or card information to our public editorial pages.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this page when our editorial products, legal obligations, or service providers change. The latest version published here is the one that applies.

10. Contact
