When you visit our websites to browse, read, or download information, we automatically collect information about your computer that your browser sends, such as your IP address, browser type and language, access times, pages visited, and referring website addresses.

In addition, we may collect information about your mobile device such as the type and model, operating system (e.g. iOS or Android), carrier name, mobile browser (e.g. Chrome, Safari), applications using our websites, and identifiers assigned to your device, such as its iOS Identifier for Advertising (“IDFA”), Android Advertising ID (“AAID”), or unique device identifier (a number uniquely given to your device by your device manufacturer), sometimes referred to as a mobile carrier ID.

We may use Device Identifiable Information to analyze trends, help administer the Services, track the online movement of Users, to learn about and determine how much time visitors spend on each page of the websites, how visitors navigate throughout the websites or use other Services, to gather broad demographic information for aggregate use; and to protect the security and integrity of the Services and our business, such as preventing fraud, hacking and other criminal activity to meet our legal obligations.

We commit to maintain, use and otherwise process deidentified information only in a deidentified fashion and will not attempt to reidentify such information.

2. How We Collect Your Information

(a) Cookies

Cookies allow web applications to respond to you as an individual. A cookie is a small file that asks permission to be placed on your computer’s hard drive. Once you agree, the file is added and the cookie helps analyze web traffic and tracks when you visit a particular site. We may use traffic log cookies to monitor which pages on our web site are being used. This helps us analyze data about web page traffic and improve our web site in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes before removing the data from the system. Overall, cookies help us provide you with a better web site experience by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and those you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us. You may choose to accept or decline cookies in most web browser settings. This may prevent you from taking full advantage of the web site.

(b) Other Direct Interactions with You

You give us your information in your direct interactions with us. We collect information you provide to us when you register accounts on our websites and other Services; request tickets, newsletters, and other products, services, or information from us; respond to surveys; participate in sweepstakes or contests; or otherwise interact with us. This information includes personal identifiers, government identifiers, contact information, biographical information, financial information, and Device Identifiable Information, which you give us from time to time. As an employee, job applicant, or contractor, we may collect personal information when you create an account on our careers website or submit a job application.

Except for IP addresses, we may match Device Identifiable Information with personal information that we may have from or about you, which would allow us to identify you. We may use this information to provide you with offers that are available where you physically are located.

When using the Services or when using certain third-party social networking services (e.g., Facebook, Twitter) (each a “Social Network”), you may have the option to connect your Service information and activity with your Social Network information and activity. If you authorize such a connection, you permit us to share or publish information about your Service activity with that Social Network and its users, and to access certain of your Social Network information, as disclosed to you at the time you consent to the connection. Information we may share with a Social Network may include technical information about your Service activity, your Service comments, or the videos you watch on the Service. Information we may access about you, with your consent, from a Social Network may include, but is not limited to, your basic Social Network information, your location data, your list of contacts, friends or followers and certain information about your activities on the Social Network. If you permit a connection between a Social Network and a Service, we (and that Social Network) may be able to identify you and to associate information received pursuant to the connection with information we already have about you. For more information, please review the privacy disclosures and terms of your Social Network account, which govern how that account information is collected and shared with us.

(d) Other Third-Party Sources

We may also receive information from other sources in connection with the operation of our Service such as from a cricket player’s league or club representative. We may also receive such personal information from third-party service providers and agents in connection with the operation of our Services, including when you purchase our tickets for an event on a third-party ticketing platform or take our surveys through a third-party vendor. Additionally, we may receive information from background check service providers in connection with our employee and contractor applications.

CHILDREN’S DATA

(a) General Rules

We may collect Personal Information from children under the age of 18 in certain areas of the websites and services for purposes of minors participating in some of Major leagues Cricket affiliated tournaments and cricket related activities, but only with affirmative parental consent. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 18 without verification of parental consent, we will endeavor to delete that information.

(b) Information Collected and Parental Rights

If your child wants to register on or participate in certain cricket activities in the areas of the Services that are directed to children under 18, we will only allow such registration/participation to proceed if we have your affirmative consent. During the registration process, we may collect certain information from your child, including personal information such as their name or e-mail address, as well as a parent or guardian’s email address in order to obtain your affirmative consent.

We – and any of our affiliated clubs and academies the child indicates interest in – may use the personal information to provide the child with the special services for which he or she has registered, such as membership in a cricket club, receipt of newsletters, or participation in cricket tournaments and related activities. We do not condition a child's participation in any of our online activities on the disclosure of more information than is reasonably necessary to participate in the activity.

Currently, the portions of the websites that are directed to children under 18 do not have unscreened chat rooms, blogs, or other similar community functionality that would permit your child to disclose information to others or publicly.

Personal Information collected on or through any portions of our Services that are directed to children under 18 may be shared with service providers with whom we contract to operate the Services. However, we will not share any personal information collected from children through our Services to our service providers, partners or any other third party in connection with sports betting and gaming services.

Other than our Service Providers and as described above, we will not share your child’s personal information with third parties. We may also collect, use and disclose this personal information as described in the other sections of this Privacy Policy.

UPDATES / CHANGES

We may alter our Privacy Policy from time to time to incorporate necessary changes in technology, applicable law, security standards or any other reason.

Any changes we make will be effective immediately on notice, which we may give by posting the new policy on the Services. Your use of the Services after such notice will be deemed acceptance of such changes. We may also make reasonable efforts to inform you via electronic mail.
