Privacy Policy

Information you give us

• Account details: email address, username, display name, and a password we store only as a one-way hash.
• Profile details: bio, avatar and preferences, if you add them.
• Creator applications: the bio, specialty and sample analysis you submit for review.
• Content: predictions, posts and comments you publish.

Information collected automatically

• Sign-in records: time, IP address and browser, used to secure your account.
• Basic usage data: which pages loaded and which features were used.

What we never see

Card and bank details are handled entirely by our payment providers. We store the fact that a subscription is active and what it cost — never your card number.

• To run your account and keep you signed in.
• To show your predictions, accuracy and profile to other users.
• To decide who can read premium content, based on active subscriptions.
• To review creator applications and enforce the community guidelines.
• To detect abuse, fraud and attempts to break into accounts.

Your username, display name, avatar, bio, published content and settled accuracy record are public — that visibility is the point of the platform.

Your email address is never shown publicly, and neither is the list of creators you subscribe to.

We do not sell personal data. We share the minimum necessary with service providers who run parts of the platform on our behalf: payment processors, hosting and database providers, and cricket data suppliers. They may only use it to provide their service to us.

We may also disclose data where the law requires it.

• Account data: while your account is open, then deleted or anonymised within 90 days of closure.
• Published predictions: retained after closure in anonymised form, because removing settled results would corrupt historical accuracy figures.
• Payment records: kept as long as tax and accounting law requires.
• Sign-in records: 12 months.

Depending on where you live, you can ask us to:

• Give you a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correct anything inaccurate.
• Delete your account and personal data.
• Restrict or object to particular uses.

Passwords are hashed with bcrypt and never stored in readable form. Sessions use short-lived tokens. No system is perfect, so if we ever discover a breach affecting your data, we will tell you.

The platform is for people aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from children, and we delete it if we discover we have.
