Privacy Policy

At Classic Matches, we respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application for cricket & kabaddi tournaments, live scores, merchandise store, and related services. By accessing Classic Matches, you consent to the data practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

To deliver a seamless sports experience — from tournament creation to merch delivery — we collect the following categories:

• Personal Identifiers: Full name, email address, phone number, date of birth, profile picture (optional).
• Tournament & Sports Data: Team names, match schedules, live score inputs, player statistics, venue preferences.
• Transaction Information: Merchandise orders, payment method details (processed via secure gateways), shipping addresses, order history (jerseys, bats, kabaddi kits).
• Device & Usage Data: IP address, device ID, app version, crash logs, feature interactions (e.g., live score views, tournament creation clicks).
• Location Data (with consent): To suggest nearby cricket/kabaddi tournaments, local shops, and delivery options. You can disable location in device settings.

2. How We Use Your Information

Classic Matches leverages collected data to enhance the sports community:

• ✅ Provide tournament management tools (match scheduling, leaderboards, live score updates for cricket/kabaddi).
• ✅ Process merchandise purchases, manage shipments, and handle returns/refunds efficiently.
• ✅ Personalize your feed – recommend local matches, trending merchandise, and favorite teams.
• ✅ Send important notifications (score alerts, order confirmations, tournament reminders, promotional offers only with opt-in).
• ✅ Improve app performance, troubleshoot bugs, and prevent fraudulent activities (e.g., fake tournament entries).

3. Sharing & Disclosure of Data

We do not sell your personal information. Limited sharing occurs only in these scenarios:

• Service Providers: Payment gateways (Razorpay/Stripe), logistics partners (Delhivery, etc.), cloud hosting (AWS). They access only necessary data and must uphold confidentiality.
• Tournament Organizers: If you join a public cricket/kabaddi tournament, your profile name and stats may be visible to other participants.
• Legal Compliance: When required by law, court order, or to protect rights/safety of Classic Matches users.
• Business Transfers: In case of merger or acquisition, data may be transferred with continued protection under this policy.

4. Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, SDKs, and local storage to remember preferences (e.g., favourite sport: cricket or kabaddi), analyze app usage, and improve performance. You can reset your ad identifier or disable tracking via device settings, though some features may be limited.

5. Data Security & Retention

Classic Matches implements industry-standard encryption (TLS 1.2+), firewalls, and regular security audits. Payment data is never stored on our servers. User data is retained as long as your account is active or as necessary to provide services (e.g., transaction history for 7 years as per finance laws). You may request deletion of non-essential data.

6. Your Privacy Rights (Indian & International)

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights:

• ➡️ Access & Portability: Request a copy of your personal data.
• ➡️ Correction: Update inaccurate info (e.g., wrong jersey size, team name).
• ➡️ Deletion: Request account deletion & removal of tournament-related data (except where retention required by law).
• ➡️ Opt-out of Marketing: Unsubscribe from promotional emails via link or app settings.

To exercise rights, email us at classicmatches@gmail.com. We will respond within 30 days.

7. Children's Privacy

Classic Matches does not knowingly collect data from children under 13 years old. If you're a parent and believe your child provided information, contact us to remove it. Minors between 13-18 must have parental consent to join tournaments or make purchases.

8. Third-Party Integrations

Our app may contain links to external payment pages, maps, or social media. Those platforms have their own privacy policies; Classic Matches is not responsible for their practices.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this policy occasionally (new features, legal changes). We'll notify you via in-app notification or email. The "Last Updated" date at the top indicates the latest revision. Continued use after changes implies acceptance.
