Privacy

Last updated 14 July 2026.

sightscreen is a free cricket-analytics site. You can browse everything without an account. An optional account unlocks playing along with our predictions, following teams and players, and match notifications. We ask for as little as possible, and we never sell your data.

Accounts and sign-in

Signing in is handled by Google. We never see or store your Google password. From Google we receive your name, email address, and profile image. We store your email so the account is recoverable and so we can contact you about the service; we store a display name and a public handle. Your email is never shown on any public page: everywhere you appear on the site (leaderboards, shared cards, and so on) you are identified only by your handle, which you can change at any time on your account page.

What an account stores

Beyond your profile, we store only what you create while signed in: the predictions you make against our model, the teams and players you follow, and any notification subscriptions you set up. That is the extent of it.

Deleting your account

You can delete your account at any time from your account page. Deletion is immediate and permanent: it removes your profile, your sign-in link, your picks, your follows, and your notification subscriptions. Nothing you created is retained.

Analytics

We use privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics (Vercel Analytics and PostHog) to understand which pages are used and where the experience can improve. These do not set cross-site tracking cookies and do not build an advertising profile, so no cookie-consent banner is needed. When you are signed in, product events are associated with your account only to measure core flows (for example, sign-up and playing along), never to profile you for advertising.

Server logs

Our host (Vercel) keeps standard, short-lived request logs (for example IP address and user agent) to operate and protect the service. These are used only for reliability and abuse prevention, not for tracking.

Data sources

All cricket data comes from public Cricsheet ball-by-ball records and public fixture feeds. It is about matches and players, not about you.
