Privacy policy

1. Who we are and what this policy covers

World Cricket Blog provides cricket learning resources, equipment guides and browser-based tools at worldcricketblog.com. In this policy, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the operator of World Cricket Blog. For privacy enquiries and requests concerning information handled by this website, contact dinhminhfvuibien10904@gmail.com.

This policy explains how information is handled when you read a page, search our guides, use a calculator, interact with advertising, follow an external link or contact us. It covers information processed in connection with this website, including information handled by service providers that help deliver it. Independent websites, advertising providers and email services also have their own privacy notices for processing for which they are responsible.

This notice is information about data practices, not a request for blanket consent. Reading the policy or continuing to browse does not by itself express consent to optional advertising storage or personalised advertising where a separate choice is required.

2. Information associated with your visit

You can read our guides and use the included tools without registering an account. The information involved depends on the action you take and the services involved in delivering a page.

Not every category is involved in every visit. Technical information can constitute personal information even when it does not contain your name. We do not ask you to enter passwords, payment details, identity documents, precise location or medical information to read the site or use its cricket calculators.

3. Calculators, site search and printable tools

The included cricket calculations run in your browser. Our calculator code does not submit the values you enter to a calculation server, store them in a user account or save them to browser local storage. The field planner and editable scorecard likewise keep their working entries in the page. Refreshing or closing the page may clear those entries, so retain your own copy if you need a record.

Our site search downloads a search index and filters it in the browser. Its search code does not send the words you type to a search-query service. The request for the index itself is an ordinary website request and can still involve technical request information.

Printing and saving as PDF use your browser and device facilities. We do not receive the resulting document merely because you print it. Browser extensions, managed devices, synced browser features and software you use to save or share a document operate separately from our tool code.

A local calculation does not make the whole page an anonymous environment: hosting requests and advertising services have their separate functions described in this policy. Avoid typing private player information into a working sheet unless it is needed, and review any names or notes before sharing a screenshot or printed scorecard.

4. How information is used

Information connected with a visit or message is used for purposes appropriate to that interaction. These include delivering the requested page; keeping links and assets accessible; investigating errors, abuse and security incidents; responding to messages; checking a reported factual correction; managing permissions enquiries; and addressing privacy requests or legal obligations.

Advertising-related information supports the advertising purposes described in the following sections. Those purposes and any optional choices are distinct from sending us a correction by email. Contacting us does not automatically subscribe you to a newsletter or authorise unrelated promotional messages.

We do not need to know your real identity to calculate a run rate. We also do not treat access to a public guide as an instruction to collect additional personal details. If a proposed service materially changes the purposes or information categories described here, this notice will be revised to explain the relevant change.

5. Google AdSense and advertising partners

Google AdSense provides advertising services for publisher websites. On pages containing Google-served advertising, Google and other participating advertising vendors may receive information through ad requests and related technologies. Google, as a third-party vendor, can use cookies to select ads based on prior visits to this website or other websites. Its advertising cookies can support advertising by Google and its partners across sites.

Other advertising vendors or networks involved in an ad can also use their own technologies under their respective notices and the applicable choices. The partners involved can depend on the ad request, region and advertising configuration. Where a consent interface applies, its provider information should be consulted for the vendors and purposes presented for that request.

Use Google Ads Settings for Google ad-personalisation choices. Digital Advertising Alliance choices also explains participating companies’ advertising opt-outs. An opt-out changes the covered advertising use; it does not necessarily stop all ads or apply to every company, browser or device.

See How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and Google’s Privacy Policy for information about Google’s processing. We do not obtain your Google Account password or direct access to your private Google Account data merely because an advertisement is displayed on a page.

6. Personalised, non-personalised and limited advertising

Personalised advertising can use previously collected activity or inferred interests to influence ad selection. Non-personalised advertising is selected without using past behaviour for targeting, but can still use contextual information, such as the page content and coarse location. Non-personalised does not necessarily mean no cookies: Google describes cookie use for purposes including frequency controls and aggregate reporting.

Consent and storage requirements can therefore remain relevant even when personalisation is not selected. Other limited advertising treatments have their own technical conditions. The treatment used depends on the applicable settings, region, consent signals and service requirements. See Google’s explanation of personalised and non-personalised ads.

We do not promise that declining one advertising purpose stops every technical request. Separate purposes, such as delivering content or addressing invalid traffic, can involve different information and rules. The choice presented to you should identify the purposes to which it applies.

7. Cookies and similar technologies

A cookie is a small piece of information a website or service can store in your browser. Similar technologies can include local storage, pixels and other identifiers. Some last only for a session; others remain until an expiry time, deletion or another change. Their presence and duration depend on the particular service, browser settings and applicable preferences.

• Service and security functions: technical processing helps deliver requested resources and protect the service against abuse. This is distinct from choosing ads based on interests.
• Advertising functions: participating providers can use permitted identifiers for ad selection, delivery, measurement, frequency controls and invalid-traffic detection.
• Preference records: a consent service can retain a choice or associated record so that it can be recognised and communicated rather than requested again on every page.
• Local cricket tools: the included calculator and working-sheet scripts do not require a saved account or use local storage to retain their inputs.

A complete cookie list depends on the providers and configuration serving your particular visit. We do not present a fixed list of cookie names or expiry periods as if it described every ad request. Provider notices and the information in any applicable consent interface give more specific details about those technologies. Google’s cookie information explains its own use.

8. Managing advertising and browser choices

Use the relevant consent or privacy-choice control when it is presented on the site to make or revisit the choices it covers. A consent-management interface can offer controls for purposes and providers, including withdrawal of previously granted consent. The options depend on the applicable framework and configuration. Emailing us is also a route for questions, but it is not a substitute for changing a provider-specific setting in your browser or Google Account.

You can use your browser’s privacy settings to inspect, block or delete cookies and manage other site data. A browser may let you block third-party cookies separately. Removing data can also remove a preference record, so you may be asked to choose again. Browser controls do not necessarily change settings held in an account or remove information already processed by another provider.

Some opt-outs are specific to a browser or device. Repeat the choice where appropriate if you switch browsers, clear storage or use a different device. Private-browsing modes can reduce information retained locally but should not be treated as a guarantee that no server or advertising request is processed.

For participating industry programmes, YourAdChoices and Your Online Choices provide information and controls. Their scope is determined by the participating companies and the programme, not by this website. You can continue to receive contextual or other permitted advertising after a personalisation opt-out.

9. EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland

Where European data-protection rules apply, optional storage and personal-data processing for personalised advertising require the relevant disclosures and choices. Google requires a Google-certified consent-management platform integrated with the applicable IAB Transparency and Consent Framework for personalised ads served to users in the EEA, UK and Switzerland. Google’s publisher consent requirements describe that requirement.

A consent decision concerns the stated purposes and providers. You may withdraw consent through the applicable choice mechanism; withdrawal does not retrospectively make earlier lawful processing unlawful. Refusing optional advertising consent is distinct from an email request about information already held in correspondence or records.

Where a lawful basis is required, processing necessary to deliver and secure the site or respond to an enquiry can rely on an applicable legitimate interest, subject to the required balancing and your rights. Processing required by law can rely on the relevant legal obligation. Consent is used for processing that requires it; a general interest in operating a site does not override a consent requirement for optional storage or personalisation.

10. Access, correction and other privacy rights

Depending on the law applicable to you and the circumstances, you may have rights to request access to personal information, obtain a copy, correct inaccurate information, request deletion, restrict processing, object to certain processing or receive information in a portable format. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it. Rights can have conditions and exceptions; for example, a record may need to be retained to meet a legal obligation or address a dispute.

Send a request concerning information handled by us to dinhminhfvuibien10904@gmail.com. State the type of request, the email or interaction involved, and enough detail to locate the relevant record. Do not send passwords or identity documents with an initial request. We may ask for proportionate information to verify that a request is made by the person concerned or a properly authorised representative.

We will address requests under the applicable response requirements and explain relevant limitations or a refusal where required. We cannot identify every website visitor by name or directly erase information controlled by an independent provider. For information held by Google or another provider, its own rights and account controls may also be relevant.

You may also raise a concern with the relevant data-protection authority. UK users can consult the Information Commissioner’s Office; EEA users can contact the supervisory authority for their country. Contacting us first can help clarify an issue, but does not remove a right to complain to an authority.

11. California and other U.S. state privacy choices

U.S. state privacy rights depend on residence, the relevant law and whether its requirements apply to the particular business and processing. Where applicable, rights can include access, correction, deletion and an opt-out of covered targeted advertising, sale or sharing. Certain laws also provide appeal or authorised-agent procedures and protection against unlawful discrimination for exercising rights.

Advertising disclosures use “sale” and “sharing” in their legal sense where relevant. A transfer for cross-context behavioural advertising can be treated differently from selling a mailing list for money. We do not sell lists of people who email us. That statement should not be interpreted as excluding every advertising-related transfer from every state law’s definitions.

Where a right to opt out of sale, sharing or targeted advertising applies, use the applicable privacy-choice mechanism or contact dinhminhfvuibien10904@gmail.com for a request concerning our processing. A legally recognised opt-out preference signal, such as Global Privacy Control, must be handled according to the applicable requirements. The signal’s effect depends on the processing and the service receiving it; this notice is not a claim that every external provider interprets every browser signal in the same way.

The California Privacy Protection Agency’s FAQ explains California rights and business applicability. This section does not assert that every state law automatically applies to this site or that a statutory threshold has been met.

12. Service providers and other disclosures

Website delivery involves hosting and technical service providers that receive the requests needed to serve pages and assets. Correspondence involves email providers that transmit and store messages. Advertising involves Google and any participating providers described by the relevant service notices and choices. Information supplied to a provider should be assessed in the context of that provider’s function and responsibilities.

Information can also be disclosed where reasonably necessary to comply with a lawful request, meet legal obligations, protect rights, investigate abuse or address a security incident. Such disclosure is not a licence to publish private correspondence as article content. If an enquiry contains material relevant to a public correction, we can explain the correction without automatically revealing the sender’s personal information.

If the operation of the website is transferred, information associated with operating it may be involved in that transfer subject to applicable law and appropriate notice. This policy does not grant a purchaser unrestricted permission to use previously collected information for unrelated purposes.

13. International processing

The internet and the providers used to deliver pages, email and advertising can involve processing in more than one country. Information may therefore be handled outside your place of residence, where privacy laws can differ. The countries involved depend on the provider and service, rather than being determined solely by the website’s domain name.

Where transfer safeguards are legally required, the relevant transfer must use an applicable lawful mechanism or other permitted basis. Provider privacy notices describe their own arrangements. For Google’s information and services, consult Google’s Privacy Policy, including its international-processing information. Contact us if you need clarification about information connected with your correspondence to this site.

14. Retention and deletion

Retention depends on the purpose and type of information. Correspondence may need to be kept while an enquiry, correction, permission issue or privacy request is being resolved, and for associated records where necessary. Technical records depend on hosting and security purposes and the relevant provider’s settings. Advertising and consent records follow the relevant services, choices and applicable requirements.

Retention periods vary across these systems. Relevant considerations include whether the original purpose remains necessary, a legal or record-keeping requirement applies, a dispute is unresolved, or deletion is technically available. Backups and security records may have separate deletion cycles and limitations.

The included cricket tools do not create a server-held history of your input merely by displaying a calculation. Deleting an email or clearing browser data is a different action from requesting deletion of information held by another provider. If you need us to locate a record, identify the interaction rather than assuming we keep a named profile of every reader.

15. Security and information you send

Reasonable care is appropriate to the information and services involved, but no website, email channel or internet transmission can be described as completely secure. A privacy policy is not a guarantee against every loss, unauthorised access or technical failure. The protection and access controls of independent providers also form part of the service environment.

When reporting a website issue, send the page address, relevant inputs and a description of the problem rather than an entire unrelated document or account screenshot. Remove private details from attachments where possible. We do not ask for your Google password, payment credentials or identity documents to answer an ordinary cricket question or correction.

If you believe you have sent sensitive information by mistake or received a message falsely claiming to represent us, contact the published privacy email with a limited description. Do not forward additional credentials as proof. We can assess the issue from the information needed to locate and understand it.

16. Children and junior cricket information

This is a general cricket-information site for fans, players and people supporting participation. Material about junior equipment and practice can help parents, carers and coaches make informed choices. It is not an invitation for children to submit identifying information, open an account or send personal records to us.

We do not knowingly solicit personal information from children under 13 through the website. If a parent or guardian believes a child has sent us personal information, contact dinhminhfvuibien10904@gmail.com with enough detail to locate the message. We will assess the concern and take the action required by applicable children’s privacy rules, including deletion where appropriate. Do not provide unnecessary details about the child in the initial enquiry.

Children’s privacy obligations depend on the audience and actual processing; describing a site as general interest does not override them. Advertising involving children must use the applicable provider restrictions and legal requirements. The FTC’s COPPA guidance explains the scope of U.S. children’s privacy rules.

17. External links, photographs and third-party services

Our articles link to cricket authorities, manufacturers and other references. Image credits link to original photographic sources. Selecting an external link takes you to a service with its own data practices; our policy does not replace its notice or control its cookies.

The photographs and included site assets are served as website files rather than requiring you to load an embedded photo-platform page to view them. That distinction does not prevent an ordinary hosting request for the image itself. Clicking an advertisement likewise leads to an advertiser or related service whose practices need to be considered separately.

If a destination asks for more information, decide whether you want to provide it under that service’s terms. A source link is not a request from World Cricket Blog for you to create an account, disclose a password or authorise an unrelated service.

18. Email enquiries and privacy requests

You can contact us at dinhminhfvuibien10904@gmail.com about privacy, corrections, permissions and website issues. An email includes the address used to send it, its contents and associated message information; attachments are included only if you choose to provide them. Email providers process messages as part of their services.

Please distinguish a privacy request from an editorial correction so it can be handled appropriately. For a data request, describe the interaction to which it relates. For a correction, identify the page and passage. Sending a message does not require you to supply a postal address, telephone number or unrelated personal history.

Contact details and supporting information are used to address the message and related matters. We do not automatically publish them or enrol the sender in promotional communications. Our Contact & corrections page provides further guidance for ordinary website enquiries.

19. Changes to this policy

The “Last updated” date identifies this version of the policy. We may revise the notice to reflect a material change in services, providers, data practices or applicable requirements. When additional notice or a new choice is required, simply replacing this text is not a substitute for that requirement.

Check the relevant consent interface and provider notices as well as this page when reviewing advertising choices. A previous choice should not be assumed to authorise a new unrelated purpose. If anything in this policy is unclear, you can ask us to explain the specific practice or interaction through the privacy contact above.
