1. Overview
Double Wicket is a gully cricket scoring and tournament management app for iOS and Android. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data. By using Double Wicket, you agree to the practices described here.

2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information You Provide
| Data | Where | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Email address | Admin login screen | Authentication — admin access only |
| Password | Admin login screen | Authentication (hashed by Firebase Auth, never stored by us) |
| Tournament names | Create Tournament form | Display and identify tournaments |
| Team names and colors | Teams management | Tournament display and scoring |
| Player names | Players management | Scorekeeping and match records |
| Match details (teams, label, ground, date/time) | Matches management | Scheduling and live scoring |
2.2 Information Collected Automatically
- Ball-by-ball scoring data entered during a Gully Match (runs, extras, wickets) is stored locally on your device via AsyncStorage and optionally synced to Firebase.
- Tournament, team, match, and innings data entered by an admin is stored in Firebase Realtime Database.
2.3 Information We Do NOT Collect
- We do not collect your real name, phone number, address, or payment information.
- We do not collect precise geolocation.
- We do not run analytics SDKs, advertising SDKs, or third-party trackers.
- We do not collect data from users who browse the public Spectator section — no account or personal information is required to watch live scores.
---
3. How We Use Your Information
- Authentication: Your email and password are used solely to verify identity for admin-level actions (creating tournaments, managing teams and matches). We use Firebase Authentication provided by Google.
- Scoring and Records: Match data (runs, wickets, innings) is used to display live scores, match summaries, and the points table to all viewers.
- App Functionality: Player names entered into the app are shown on scoring screens and match records. They are not linked to any external profile or identity.
---
4. Data Storage and Security
- All tournament, team, match, and player data is stored in Firebase Realtime Database (Google Firebase, project hosted in the United States).
- Authentication is handled by Firebase Authentication (Google). Passwords are never stored by the app or the developer — they are managed entirely by Firebase.
- Local match scores (Gully Match scorer) are stored on-device using AsyncStorage and are never automatically uploaded to a server.
- We apply reasonable security measures; however, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure.
---
5. Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties.
We share data only in the following limited circumstances:
- Firebase / Google: As our database and authentication provider. Firebase processes data according to [Google's Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy).
- Legal Requirements: If required by law, court order, or government authority.

6. Public vs. Private Data
| Data | Visibility |
|---|---|
| Tournament names, status, and schedule | Public — visible to all Spectator viewers without login |
| Team names, colors, and groups | Public — visible in spectator points table and live scores |
| Player names | Public — shown in scoring screens visible to all |
| Live match scores and results | Public — visible to all without login |
| Admin email address | Private — never displayed in the app |
| Local Gully Match scoring data | Private — stored only on your device |
