Privacy Policy

Last updated: 5 July 2026 · Effective date: 5 July 2026

This policy complies with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), Act 4 of 2013 of the Republic of South Africa.

1. Who We Are

CricketTips.ai ("we", "us", "our") is an AI-powered cricket analytics and predictions platform. We operate the website at crickettips.ai.

For any privacy-related enquiries, contact us at: [email protected]

2. Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of personal information:

  • Account information — name, email address, and password when you register
  • Usage data — pages visited, features used, time spent on site
  • Device data — browser type, IP address, operating system
  • Age verification — confirmation that you are 18 or older (stored locally on your device)
  • Payment data — we do not process payments directly; subscription payments are handled by third-party providers

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your personal information to:

  • Provide and improve our cricket analytics and prediction services
  • Manage your account and subscription
  • Send you match tips, alerts, and service-related communications (with your consent)
  • Comply with legal obligations under POPIA and applicable law
  • Detect and prevent fraud or abuse of our platform
  • Display relevant affiliate offers from licensed bookmakers

We do not use your personal information for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects without your knowledge.

4. Affiliate Links & Third Parties

CricketTips.ai displays affiliate links to betting operators licensed in your region — for example Bet365, William Hill, and Paddy Power for UK visitors (all licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission), or 1xBet, Mostbet, and Melbet for other regions. The operators shown are determined automatically by your location. When you click these links:

  • You are redirected to the third-party operator's website
  • The third party may place cookies or tracking pixels on your device
  • We receive a commission if you register and deposit — this does not affect your experience or the odds offered to you
  • Each operator has their own Privacy Policy which governs how they use your data

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party betting operators.

5. Cookies & Local Storage

We use the following technologies on our website:

  • Local storage — to remember your age verification and display preferences
  • Session cookies — to maintain your login state
  • Analytics cookies — to understand how visitors use our site (e.g. page views, session duration)
  • Affiliate tracking — third-party cookies placed when you click affiliate links

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect site functionality.

6. Data Storage & Security

Your personal data is stored in a secure cloud database hosted by Neon (PostgreSQL), which uses industry-standard encryption at rest and in transit. We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information from unauthorised access, loss, or disclosure.

While we take security seriously, no system is completely secure. In the event of a data breach that affects your rights, we will notify you as required by POPIA within a reasonable timeframe.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide our services. If you close your account, we will delete or anonymise your personal data within 30 days, unless we are required by law to retain it longer.

8. Your Rights Under POPIA

As a data subject, you have the right to:

  • Access — request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
  • Correction — request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
  • Deletion — request deletion of your personal information ("right to be forgotten")
  • Objection — object to the processing of your information for direct marketing
  • Complaint — lodge a complaint with the Information Regulator of South Africa

To exercise any of these rights, email us at: [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.

9. Children's Privacy

Our website is strictly for users aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we become aware that a minor has provided us with personal information, we will delete it immediately. If you believe a minor has registered, contact us at [email protected].

10. International Transfers

Your data may be processed by our service providers in countries outside South Africa. Where this occurs, we take steps to ensure that your information is protected to a standard consistent with POPIA.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will notify you by posting the updated policy on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
