Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

IPL Cricket ("we", "us", "our") operates the website iplt2026.cricket (the "Site"). This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information when you use our Site. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data in an open and transparent manner.

2. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information to provide and improve our service:

Automatically collected: When you visit our Site, our hosting provider (Cloudflare) automatically collects standard web server log information including your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, referring URL, and timestamps. This data is used for analytics, performance monitoring, and security purposes.

We do NOT collect: We do not require user accounts, login, or registration. We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, payment information, or any other personally identifiable information. We do not use tracking cookies for advertising purposes.

3. Cookies & Local Storage

Our Site may use essential cookies for basic functionality such as remembering your preferences (e.g., selected tab state). We do not use third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking technologies. Cloudflare may set security-related cookies to protect against DDoS attacks and bot traffic.

4. Third-Party Services

Our Site uses the following third-party services:

Cloudflare: We use Cloudflare for hosting (Pages), edge caching, DNS, and DDoS protection. Cloudflare's privacy policy applies to their data processing.

Cricbuzz API (via RapidAPI): Match data, player statistics, and news content are fetched from the Cricbuzz API through our backend worker. No user data is shared with these API providers.

External links: Our Site contains links to external websites (social media, broadcaster sites, etc.). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

5. Data Retention

Server logs are retained by Cloudflare according to their data retention policies (typically 72 hours for free plans). We do not maintain our own user data databases. Cached API responses are stored in Cloudflare KV with TTLs ranging from 30 seconds (live scores) to 24 hours (static content) and are automatically purged.

6. Children's Privacy

Our Site is a general-audience sports information platform. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since we do not collect any personal information from any users, this concern is inherently addressed.

7. Your Rights

Since we collect minimal data (only standard server logs through our hosting provider), there is limited personal data to access, correct, or delete. If you have concerns about data processed by Cloudflare, please refer to Cloudflare's privacy policy and data subject access request process.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
