Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

CricCity collects limited, mostly non-personal information to operate and improve the website:

Analytics Data

When you visit CricCity with analytics cookies enabled, we collect usage data through Google Analytics and Vercel Analytics, including:

• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• Browser type and version
• Device type (mobile, desktop, tablet)
• Referring URLs
• General geographic location (country/city level, not precise location)

Google Analytics data collection only occurs when you grant analytics consent through our cookie consent banner. Vercel Analytics collects anonymous, aggregated usage data in production.

Search Queries

When you use the site search feature, your search queries are sent to our server to return results. We do not log or store individual search queries on our servers. Your recent searches are stored locally in your browser (localStorage) for convenience and are not transmitted to us.

Contact Information

If you contact us by email, we receive the information you choose to provide (such as your email address and message content). This is used solely to respond to your enquiry.

2. Cookies & Local Storage

CricCity uses cookies and browser local storage in the following ways:

• Cookie consent preferences— Your cookie choices (accept, reject, or custom preferences) are stored in your browser's localStorage so we can respect your decision on future visits.
• Recent searches — Your last few search queries are stored in localStorage for quick access. This data stays in your browser and is not sent to our servers.
• Google Analytics cookies — When you consent to analytics, Google Analytics sets cookies to distinguish unique visitors and track usage patterns. You can opt out through our cookie consent banner or your browser settings.

You can manage your cookie preferences at any time using the "Cookie Preferences" button in the website footer, or by clearing your browser data.

3. How We Use Your Information

4. Third-Party Services

CricCity uses the following third-party services:

• Vercel — Our website hosting provider. Vercel may collect standard server logs (IP addresses, request timestamps) as part of its hosting infrastructure.
• Supabase — Our database provider, used to store cricket data (leagues, teams, players, venues, matches, statistics). Supabase does not store any personal user data on our behalf.

We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

5. Third-Party Links

CricCity is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to remove it.

8. Your Rights
