Privacy Policy & Data Safety

1. Overview & Commitment

Welcome to Live Hand Cricket, created and published by PlaySolve. We are committed to providing a fun, competitive, and secure real-time sports gaming experience while maintaining the utmost respect for your personal privacy.

Our core architecture is intentionally designed so that no personally identifiable information (PII)—such as your real legal name, email address, phone number, contacts, precise location, or device identifiers—is ever required, collected, or sold.

2. Data Collection & Anonymous Authentication

Anonymous Guest Sessions: When you connect to online multiplayer, Google Firebase Anonymous Authentication assigns a temporary, random cryptographic identifier (UID). No passwords, social network logins, or emails are collected.
Custom User Display Names: The team and player names you choose in the app are purely for in-game presentation on stadium scoreboards and match tunnel lobbies.
Camera Access (Optional): The app requests camera permission solely to allow quick scanning of match invitation QR codes generated by other players. Video or photo data is processed in real time entirely on your device and is never saved, uploaded, or transmitted anywhere.

3. Realtime Multiplayer & Automatic Data Deletion

Hand Cricket uses Google Firebase Realtime Database to facilitate live synchronization between batting and bowling players.

Ephemeral Match Nodes: Match rooms (room code, player turns, cryptographic hash commitments) exist only for the duration of the match.
Automatic Purging: As soon as a match reaches completion (Victory, Defeat, Tie, or Forfeit), the entire room record is permanently erased from the cloud database.
Anti-Cheat Security: Secret moves are protected using a zero-knowledge hash-commit-reveal cryptographic algorithm to guarantee fairness without storing game data.

4. Local Device Storage

Your game progression, coin balance, match history records, customized 10-player squad lineups, and unlocked jersey color themes are stored exclusively on your device using Android DataStore Preferences and Room SQLite. You retain complete control over this data, and clearing the app's cache/data or uninstalling the app permanently removes it from your device.

5. Children's Privacy (COPPA & GDPR-K Compliance)

Live Hand Cricket is a family-friendly sports game suitable for audiences of all ages. Because the game does not collect personal data, request age identification, or track users across external apps and websites, it strictly complies with global child privacy standards, including COPPA and GDPR-K.

6. Third-Party Services & Ad Networks

We do not sell, rent, or trade your game interaction data with third-party data brokers or marketing trackers. Third-party cloud infrastructure is limited strictly to Google Firebase (Realtime Database & Authentication) for operational multiplayer functionality under Google's standard security commitments.
