Privacy Policy
Last updated: 5 October 2026
CricArena is an app for scoring cricket matches, following live scores, and streaming matches live on YouTube. This policy explains what information we collect, why, and the choices you have. It applies to the CricArena website and apps (together, "CricArena").
1. Who we are
CricArena is operated by Anshul, India ("we", "us"). For any question about this policy or your data, write to anshulagrawal01@gmail.com.
2. Information we collect
- Account details: your email address (used to send you login codes), your name, your mobile number if you add one, and your profile photo.
- Cricket data: the teams, players, tournaments and matches you create or take part in, including ball-by-ball scoring, scorecards, statistics, and the experience points and levels shown on profiles. Match scores, scorecards and player names may be visible to other people who use CricArena or watch a broadcast.
- Live streaming: when you choose to go live, CricArena asks to use your device's camera and microphone. The video and sound are sent through our streaming server to YouTube, with a scoreboard added. We do not record or keep the video or audio.
- YouTube connection: if you connect a YouTube channel, we receive your channel ID and channel name, and a secure access token that lets CricArena act on your channel as described in section 5.
- Technical information: our hosting and infrastructure providers process basic technical data such as IP address and browser or device type to deliver the service and keep it secure.
3. How we use your information
- To create and secure your account and send login codes.
- To run the app: record and show matches, scorecards, statistics and profiles.
- To create, start and monitor live broadcasts on YouTube when you ask us to, and to show the number of viewers watching.
- To help you, answer your questions, and fix problems.
- To protect CricArena and its users from misuse.
We do not sell your personal information.
4. Who we share it with
We use trusted service providers to run CricArena. They process data only to provide their service to us:
- Supabase: database, login and file storage.
- Vercel: website and app hosting.
- Google Cloud: the streaming server that passes your live video to YouTube.
- Resend: sending login emails.
- Google and YouTube: live streaming, when you connect a channel.
These providers may process data on servers in India or in other countries. We may also share information if the law requires it, or to protect the safety and rights of our users and of CricArena.
5. Google and YouTube data
CricArena's use and transfer to any other app of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
When you connect a YouTube channel, we ask for permission to manage your YouTube account. We use that permission only to:
- create live broadcasts and streams for your matches;
- start and end those broadcasts; and
- read the number of people currently watching, so we can show it on the scoreboard.
We do not use this permission to read your other videos, comments or subscribers, we do not share YouTube data with anyone else, and we do not use it for advertising. Broadcasts we create are public on your channel by default.
We store your YouTube channel ID, channel name and a secure access token. You can stop this at any time:
- Remove CricArena's access in your Google account at myaccount.google.com/permissions; or
- Ask us to delete your YouTube connection by writing to anshulagrawal01@gmail.com.
By using CricArena's YouTube features you also agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. Google's handling of your data is described in the Google Privacy Policy.
6. How long we keep your information
We keep your information while your account is active. If you delete your account, or ask us to, we delete your personal information within 30 days. Some match records may be kept without your name so that other people's scorecards and statistics stay complete.
7. Your choices and deleting your account
- You can view and update your name, mobile number and profile photo in the app.
- To delete your account and personal data, email anshulagrawal01@gmail.com from the email address you use to log in, with the subject "Delete my account". We will confirm by reply and complete the deletion within 30 days.
- You can also ask us what information we hold about you, or to correct it, at the same address.
8. Security
We protect your information with encrypted connections and access controls, and we keep the access tokens that connect your YouTube channel stored securely on our servers. No system is completely secure, so we cannot promise absolute security.
9. Children
CricArena is meant for people aged 13 and over. If you are under 18, please use it with the knowledge and permission of a parent or guardian. If you believe a child has given us personal information without permission, contact us and we will remove it.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. We will change the "Last updated" date above, and for important changes we will tell you in the app or by email.
