CricHubb ("we", "us", or "our") is operated by Mantlers. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use crichubb.com (the "Service").

1. Information We Collect

Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your email address, display name, and password (stored in hashed form). If you sign up via Google or social login, we receive your name and email from the provider.

Engagement Data: When you interact with content (likes, dislikes, views), we record the action alongside an anonymous browser fingerprint — a randomly generated identifier stored in your browser's local storage. This fingerprint is not linked to your identity and is used solely to prevent duplicate counting.

Subscription Data: If you subscribe to our newsletter, we store your email address for the purpose of sending cricket updates.

Usage Data: We collect standard server logs including IP addresses, browser type, referring pages, and timestamps. These are used for security monitoring and aggregate analytics.

Cookies: See our Cookie Policy for details on the cookies we use.

2. How We Use Your Information

To provide and improve the Service, including personalised content and match recommendations.

To track engagement metrics (views, likes, dislikes) in aggregate to surface trending content.

To send newsletters and cricket updates if you have opted in.

To detect and prevent abuse, spam, and fraudulent activity.

To comply with legal obligations.

3. Editorial Content and Automation

CricHubb publishes cricket coverage produced through an editorial process that may use automated research and summarization tools, including large language models, to assist with drafting news summaries, talking points, and match analysis. All content is curated and reviewed by the CricHubb editorial process before publication, and is based on publicly available sources.

While we strive for accuracy, content may contain errors or inaccuracies. For authoritative results, refer to official cricket boards and tournament organisers. No personal user data is sent to third-party research providers for content generation.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with: (a) service providers who help operate the platform (hosting, email delivery, analytics); (b) advertising partners in aggregate, anonymised form only; (c) law enforcement when required by law.

Third-party ad networks may use cookies to serve relevant advertisements. See our Cookie Policy for opt-out options.

5. Data Retention

Account data is retained for as long as your account is active. Engagement data (anonymous fingerprints and interaction counts) is retained indefinitely in aggregate form. Server logs are retained for 90 days. You may request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to: access, correct, or delete your personal data; object to or restrict processing; data portability; withdraw consent. To exercise these rights, contact us at crichubbhelp@mantlers.com.

If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA), our legal basis for processing is legitimate interest (providing the Service) and consent (newsletters, cookies).

7. Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your data, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), hashed passwords, and access controls. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

8. Children

The Service is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy on this page with a revised "Last updated" date.
