Information GV Cricket collects
1.Match data you enter, including match name, teams, overs, player names, roster details, scoring events, inning details, match dates, announcements, and final results.
2.Location data you choose to provide, which may include a typed location label, country selection, GPS latitude and longitude (only if you explicitly grant browser GPS permission), or an approximate location inferred from your IP address for technical operations such as time-zone suggestion and regional matching.
3.Media uploads you provide, including match cover images, team graphics, and any files you upload through image upload tools. Uploaded media is stored on a transient, temporary basis only and is not permanently archived.

5.Usage and technical data collected automatically, which may include browser type, device type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, interactions with match or result pages, session timestamps, error logs, and IP address. Where analytics cookies are accepted, aggregated usage signals may be collected to help GV Cricket understand how the app is used.
6.Cookie and storage data: GV Cricket uses strictly necessary cookies and browser local storage to allow the app to function, remember operator state, and maintain scoring session continuity. Optional analytics cookies are off by default and are only set if you accept them through the cookie consent banner. See the Cookies section below for full details.

05
Transient image and data storage
1.GV Cricket is a transient software tool and does not operate a permanent image archive, cloud storage vault, or data warehouse. Uploaded images, match cover graphics, scoring records, and other match assets are retained on a temporary, transient basis only.
2.GV Cricket may delete, compress, overwrite, or restrict any image, match record, or data entry at any time, without notice, for server optimization, policy compliance, stale-data cleanup, technical changes, or content moderation.
3.You are solely responsible for maintaining independent offline copies, records, and backups of all match data, images, rosters, and results. GV Cricket is fully and unconditionally released from all liability, claims, losses, and damages of any kind arising from the loss, corruption, deletion, restriction, or unavailability of any data or media processed by the platform.
06
Lawful basis for processing
1.Where required by law (including the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation and similar frameworks), GV Cricket processes personal data on the following bases, depending on the context: (a) Performance of a contract or steps taken at your request — to operate match scoring, overlays, links, and app functions you initiate; (b) Legitimate interests — to maintain security, prevent abuse, diagnose errors, improve stability, and generate aggregate statistics; (c) Compliance with a legal obligation — to respond to legal process, court orders, regulatory requirements, and safety obligations; (d) Consent — for optional analytics cookies and, where required by applicable law, for other non-essential data processing.
2.If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, or another jurisdiction with equivalent requirements, you have the right to object to or withdraw consent for processing at any time in relation to consent-based or legitimate-interests-based processing.
07
Cookies and browser storage
1.Strictly necessary cookies and local browser storage are set automatically when you use GV Cricket. These allow scoring sessions, operator state, match access controls, and app preferences to function. You cannot disable these without breaking app functionality.
2.Analytics cookies are off by default. They are only activated if you affirmatively accept them through the cookie consent banner. If you reject analytics cookies, no analytics cookie is set.
3.The cookie consent banner appears on eligible pages — such as marketing, setup, and results pages. On active scoring and overlay pages (umpire scoring, director console, browser source overlay, walkie-talkie), the banner is suppressed to avoid disrupting live scoring.
4.You may update your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the cookie settings icon on eligible pages, which resets the banner.
5.GV Cricket may use strictly necessary session tokens, browser storage keys, and local data to maintain live match state, PIN-based access, operator controls, and scoring continuity. These are not optional.
6.Third-party analytics and infrastructure providers that operate on GV Cricket may set their own cookies in accordance with their own privacy policies. GV Cricket limits these to providers whose data practices meet reasonable standards.
08
Location and GPS data
1.Match location is optional unless you choose to add it for match organization or discovery.
2.If you enable browser GPS permission, GV Cricket may use the approved latitude, longitude, and timezone to set the match location, suggest country or region labels, and support weather or location features.
3.Exact GPS coordinates, if submitted as part of a match location, are stored with the match record on a transient basis and may be visible to anyone with a link to the match page, depending on how the match is configured.
4.Approximate IP-based location may be used solely for technical operations such as time-zone suggestion and is not stored as a permanent personal profile.
5.Do not enter private home addresses, exact school locations, private venue details, or youth-match locations unless you have appropriate permission and understand that the data may be visible to match spectators and linked parties.
09
Sharing and disclosure
1.GV Cricket does not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties for their own marketing purposes.
2.GV Cricket may share limited technical data with hosting, infrastructure, analytics, email delivery, geocoding, weather, security, and image-processing providers solely to operate the app. These providers are bound by data-processing obligations and may not use the data for their own independent purposes.
3.Match data you choose to make publicly accessible via shared links, spectator pages, result pages, or overlays is visible to anyone who accesses those links, which may include search engines, social platforms, messaging apps, and other third-party caching services.
4.GV Cricket may disclose data when required by applicable law, court order, regulatory process, legal obligation, or to protect the rights, safety, or security of GV Cricket, users, or third parties.
5.In connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, asset transfer, financing, or change of control, GV Cricket may transfer data to the relevant successor entity, subject to equivalent privacy protections.
10
International data transfers
1.GV Cricket operates globally and may process, store, or transmit data through hosting infrastructure located in countries other than your country of residence.
2.If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with data-transfer restrictions, you acknowledge that your data may be transferred to countries that do not provide equivalent levels of data protection under your home jurisdiction's law. GV Cricket takes reasonable steps to protect data during transfer consistent with applicable legal requirements.
11
Data retention

3.Aggregate, non-identifying statistics derived from match activity are retained indefinitely as product metrics and are not deleted when an individual match or user record is removed.
4.When data is no longer needed for its stated purpose and no legal retention obligation applies, GV Cricket will delete or anonymize it using reasonable technical processes.
