Hand Cricket Online ("the app") is made by Reboot Enterprise Limited, trading as Reboot ("we", "us"). This policy explains what information the app uses, why, and the choices you have.
The short version
- You don't need an account, email address or phone number to play.
- We don't show ads, we don't track you, and we don't sell or share your information.
- Playing against the computer stays on your device. Online games store a small amount of game information on our server so you and your friend can play together.
Information stored only on your device
These stay on your phone or tablet and are never sent to us:
- Your match record: wins, losses, scores, overs batted and bowled.
- Your chosen match settings (overs and wickets).
- Your player name, which is also sent to our server when you play online (see below).
Deleting the app removes all of this. You can also clear your record any time from the Record tab.
Information used for online games
When you use the Online tab, the app stores the following on our server:
- An anonymous player ID. This is a random code created automatically the first time you play online. It isn't linked to your name, email, phone number or any other account.
- Your player name. This is the name you choose, up to 20 characters, and it's shown to your opponent. Please don't use your full real name.
- Game information. This means the game code, match settings, toss, the numbers each player threw, scores, results, and rematch requests.
- Connection status. The app records when you were last active in a game, so your opponent can see if you've left and end the match.
We use this information only to run online matches between you and the player you share your game code with. Your opponent sees your player name and your throws once you've both played. No one else can see your games.
What we don't collect
We don't collect your real name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, location, payment details or device advertising ID. The app has no analytics, advertising or tracking tools.
Where the information is stored
Online game information is stored with our backend provider, Supabase, which hosts it on secure cloud servers. Information is sent over encrypted (HTTPS) connections. Supabase processes the information only on our behalf, to run the service.
How long we keep it
We keep online game information only as long as needed to run the game service. You can ask us to delete it at any time (see below).
Your choices and rights
- Don't play online. Playing against the computer sends nothing to our server.
- Change your player name at any time from the Online tab.
- Ask us to delete your online data. Email us at [email protected] with your player name and, if you have it, a game code, and we'll delete the matching games. We'll reply within 30 days.
You can also ask us what information we hold about you, or ask us to correct it. If you're in New Zealand, you have these rights under the Privacy Act 2020. If you're in Australia, you have them under the Privacy Act 1988. If you're not satisfied with our response, you can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner in New Zealand or the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner in Australia.
Children
The app is suitable for all ages. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children. The only thing a player types is a player name, so we encourage younger players to use a nickname rather than their real name. If you believe a child has shared personal information through the app, contact us and we'll delete it.
Changes to this policy
If we change how the app uses information, we'll update this page and the "Last updated" date. Significant changes will also be mentioned in the app's update notes.
