Privacy Policy

1. Overview and Core Privacy Commitment

Orbit Tech Lab ("we," "our," or "us") developed the Cricket Scorer application as an offline-first sports scorekeeper and statistics utility. We believe that your sports records, player names, team lists, and match scores belong exclusively to you.

Cricket Scorer does not require you to create an account, does not require personal credentials (such as email, telephone number, or password), and does not transmit your personal match history to cloud databases or remote servers.

2. Data We Do NOT Collect

To maintain transparency with Google Play's Data Safety guidelines, the following personal data categories are never collected, stored, or processed by our servers or third-party analytical networks:

• Personal Identifiers: We do not collect your real name, email address, home address, or phone number.
• Location Information: We do not request or track precise or approximate GPS coordinates.
• Financial & Payment Data: No payment details, credit card numbers, or bank account information are accessed.
• Contacts & Media: We do not access your address book, contact list, camera, microphone, photos, or private files.
• Advertising & Device IDs: We do not collect Google Advertising ID (AAID), Android ID, IMEI, or hardware serial numbers.

3. Data Stored Locally on Your Device

All information created while scoring matches is stored strictly inside your phone's isolated, sandbox storage using AsyncStorage:

• Match Records: Match title, overs, overs per bowler, balls per over, wide and no-ball rules, date of match, and match outcome.
• Team Rosters & Custom Player Names: Names of teams and players entered by you for team selection and batting/bowling orders.
• Ball-by-Ball Logs: Runs scored, extras (wides, no-balls, leg-byes, byes), wickets, and dismissal types.
• Player Career Statistics: Cumulative matches played, runs scored, batting averages, strike rates, wickets taken, economy rates, and best figures.
• Application Preferences: Theme preference, preferred balls per over, wide penalty settings, and haptic feedback toggle.

4. Network Usage and Third-Party Services

Cricket Scorer operates 100% offline for all scoring, team management, and statistical derivation. Network access (android.permission.INTERNET) is utilized exclusively for optional, public sports features:

• Public Live Scores Feed: The app queries public sports endpoints via secure HTTPS to display international tournament schedules and scores. These requests are anonymous and do not attach user identifiers.
• No Third-Party Advertising SDKs: The application does not contain ad networks (such as Google AdMob, Unity Ads, or AppLovin).
• No Analytics Trackers: We do not integrate tracking platforms like Google Firebase Analytics, AppsFlyer, or Facebook SDK.

5. Android System Permissions Audit

Cricket Scorer requests only the absolute minimum Android permissions necessary for operation:

• android.permission.INTERNET: Used to fetch public sports scoreboards via HTTPS when connected to the internet.
• android.permission.VIBRATE: Provides tactile physical haptic feedback when scorers press run-pad keys (1, 2, 4, 6, OUT, etc.) to prevent scoring mistakes.

The application does not request dangerous permissions such as CAMERA, READ_CONTACTS, ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION, RECORD_AUDIO, QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES, or broad external storage access.

6. Data Retention and Data Deletion Policy

Because all match data is stored exclusively on your device, you have complete and instantaneous control over its retention and deletion:

1. Instant In-App Deletion: Open Cricket Scorer > navigate to Settings > under "Save & Backup Data", tap "Delete / Reset All Data". After confirming the prompt, the application immediately calls AsyncStorage.clear(), permanently and irreversibly purging all local matches, teams, player rosters, and career statistics from your device.
2. Operating System Deletion: You can also delete all local app data by navigating to your Android device's Settings > Apps > Cricket Scorer > Storage > Clear Data, or by simply uninstalling the application.
3. Server-Side Data Deletion Inquiries: Because Orbit Tech Lab does not collect, transmit, or host user accounts, emails, or personal databases on remote servers, there is no remote server-side profile or account data stored to delete. For any questions or deletion inquiries, you can contact our privacy officer at support@orbittechlab.com with the subject "Cricket Scorer Data Deletion Request".

7. Device Security & Backup Configuration

We employ best-in-class security practices to safeguard your on-device data:

• Backup Restrictions: android:allowBackup="false" is explicitly configured in app.json and the final AndroidManifest.xml to prevent extraction of application databases through unauthorized ADB bridges or unencrypted third-party backup mechanisms.
• HTTPS Enforced: All external API network interactions are forced through TLS/HTTPS encrypted connections.
• No Sensitive Logs: No personal or match data is printed to system logs in production releases.

8. Children's Privacy (COPPA & Families Policy)

Cricket Scorer is a general audience sports utility intended for cricketers, team captains, coaches, and scorers aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect, request, or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at support@orbittechlab.com so we can take appropriate measures.

9. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy periodically to reflect app updates, new feature releases, or evolving regulatory and Google Play policies. Any changes will be published directly on this page with an updated "Effective Date."
