CricketReel — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 30 September 2026

CricketReel is a web app that turns cricket match recordings into short highlight reels. It is built and run by Amanjot Malhotra ("we", "the operator"), an individual developer. This policy explains what CricketReel collects, why, who it is shared with, and how to have it deleted.

What we collect

• Account data. If you sign in with Google: your name, email address and profile picture. If you sign up with email: your email address and a hashed password. Stored in the app's database on the operator's own server.
• Project data. The match links you submit, clip timestamps, shot-detection results, your review decisions, any CricHeroes scorecard link you add, the reels CricketReel generates for you, and your Channel Defaults (branding choices and any logo you upload).
• Feedback you send through the app, with your account email.
• Server logs (IP address, time, pages and API calls requested), kept for security and debugging.

Google user data

Google sign-in. CricketReel requests only your basic profile (name, email address, profile picture). It is used solely to create and identify your CricketReel account. It is never sold, used for advertising, or used to train AI models.

YouTube. Publishing reels directly to YouTube is currently limited to the operator's own channel; CricketReel does not access any other user's YouTube account. For that channel, CricketReel holds an OAuth token in an access-restricted file on the operator's server and uses the YouTube Data API and YouTube Analytics API only to upload reels (youtube.upload), read the channel's basic details and video metadata (youtube.readonly), and read the channel's analytics reports (yt-analytics.readonly). CricketReel uses YouTube API Services; see the Google Privacy Policy.

CricketReel's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

You can remove CricketReel's access to your Google account at any time from your Google Account security settings.

How we use data

Only to run CricketReel for you: sign you in, process the matches you submit, generate and store your reels, show you release notes, answer your feedback, and keep the service secure. We do not sell personal data and do not show advertising.

Who we share it with

We do not sell, rent or trade your data. The service relies on these providers:

• Cloudflare carries traffic between your browser and the server.
• Google handles Google sign-in.
• Slack and Notion, used privately by the operator: error and publishing alerts and the feedback you send may include your account email and feedback text.
• YouTube and CricHeroes: when you submit a match link or a scorecard link, CricketReel fetches that recording or scorecard to process it.

Retention and deletion

Working files are deleted automatically, normally within 24 hours. Finished reels and project data stay in your account until you delete the project or your account. Deleting a project removes its reels and detection data. To delete your account and all its data, email the operator; we complete deletion within 7 days.

Security

All traffic uses HTTPS. Passwords are stored hashed, and access to projects and reels is limited to the account that created them.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that affects how your data is used, we will say so in the app before the change applies. The date above shows the current version.
