Privacy Policy

Effective October 27, 2026 · Last updated October 28, 2026

Dhoom Cricket (“the app”) is a game for iPhone, iPad and Android published by Hemant Chaudhary · Sudofish Labs (“we”, “us”). This policy covers the app and the Dhoom Cricket pages on sudofish.com, including the Android beta sign-up.

The short version

• There are no accounts. Your progress stays on your phone.
• The commentary is pre-recorded and bundled with the game. No voice or text is sent anywhere, and the app never uses your microphone.
• The free game shows ads through Google AdMob. Where the law requires it, we ask before ads are personalized, and you can change your mind in the app.
• We use Google Analytics for Firebase to see how the game is played, and RevenueCat to handle the Dhoom Pro purchase.
• If the game crashes, Firebase Crashlytics sends us a crash report, with your Player ID so we can find it if you email us.
• The leaderboards are Apple’s Game Center and Google Play Games. Signing in is optional.
• If you sign up for the Android beta, we keep your email only for the beta, and delete it when the beta ends.
• We don’t sell your personal information.

1. What stays on your device

Your progress and records (matches played and won, stars, your best results, your career XP, rank and records, the daily match’s streak, the stadiums and powers you’ve opened, the kit you wear, a match you left in progress) and your settings (music, sound effects and commentary volume, the commentary language, haptics, reduce motion, swap hands, the timing helper, input timing and difficulty) are saved only on your device. We don’t receive them. There’s no sign-in and no account.

Deleting the app deletes this data. Your phone’s own backups (iCloud or Google) may include it, under your Apple or Google settings.

The commentary, in Hindi, English, Tamil, Bengali, Telugu and Kannada, is pre-recorded and bundled with the game; no voice or text is sent anywhere. The app doesn’t use your microphone, camera, contacts or your device’s location. Apart from the services in section 2, the game sends nothing over the internet.

2. What the app’s services collect

The app uses a few third-party services. They collect data from your device as described here, under their own privacy policies.

Google AdMob (ads)

The free version shows two kinds of ads: a rewarded ad you choose to watch (Second Innings, one more wicket when you’re all out) and full-screen ads between matches, on the results screen. No ad ever appears during play, and your first match has none. To show and measure ads, Google may collect:

• your device’s advertising identifier: the Android advertising ID, or on iPhone and iPad the IDFA, but only if you allow tracking;
• your IP address, which is used to estimate your general location (such as your country or city);
• device and app information, such as model, operating system, language and app version;
• ad interactions, such as which ads were shown, watched or tapped.

Personalized and non-personalized ads. Personalized ads are chosen using what Google knows about your interests. Non-personalized ads are chosen from context, such as the app and your general location, but Google still uses some data to limit how often you see an ad, to report on ads and to fight fraud.

Your consent. In the European Economic Area, the UK, Switzerland and the US states that require it, a consent form from Google asks whether ads may be personalized and whether data may be stored on your device. It appears when you tap PLAY after your first match, before any ad is requested. On iPhone and iPad, Apple’s tracking prompt asks whether Dhoom Cricket may use the IDFA; it appears right after the consent form, if there is one. You can change these choices at any time: see section 7.

Dhoom Pro. With Dhoom Pro, there are no ads between matches, and Second Innings doesn’t need one.

Learn more in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and Google’s Privacy Policy.

Google Analytics for Firebase (analytics)

Analytics records how the game is played: for example matches started and finished and how they went, wickets, Dive Cams, powers used, settings changed, how smoothly the game runs on your device, ads shown and purchases. It also collects a random app-instance ID, the app version, device model, operating system, language and your general location from your IP address. It never receives your name, email, Player ID or leaderboard name.

In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, analytics storage stays off until you allow it in the consent form. See Privacy and Security in Firebase.

Firebase Crashlytics (crash reports)

If the game crashes or hits a serious error, Firebase Crashlytics (Google) sends a crash report: where in the game’s code it happened, your device model, operating system and app version, free memory and storage, a random Crashlytics installation ID, and what the game was doing (the screen, a few recent steps such as “ad shown”, and the same details about your game that analytics records, such as the commentary language, difficulty, rank, whether you have Dhoom Pro and your ad and tracking choices). Each report carries your Player ID, so that if you email us about a problem we can find it. It never includes your name, email or leaderboard name. Test versions of the game send none.

RevenueCat, Apple and Google (Dhoom Pro)

Dhoom Pro is a one-time in-app purchase. Payments are handled by Apple’s App Store or Google Play under their terms; we never see your card or payment details. RevenueCat checks purchases for us and keeps track of who has Pro. It uses an anonymous ID created when you install the app (the Player ID in Settings) and purchase records (the product, price, currency, date, store transaction ID and store country), along with basic device and app information. See RevenueCat’s Privacy Policy.

Game Center and Google Play Games (leaderboards)

On iPhone and iPad, Dhoom Cricket uses Apple’s Game Center; on Android, Google Play Games. If you sign in to them, your XP scores go to Apple or Google, and other players can see your nickname, picture and scores on Dhoom’s leaderboards. Apple and Google handle this under their own privacy policies (Game Center & Privacy, Play Games profile privacy). Dhoom Cricket does not send your Game Center or Play Games name or ID to its analytics, advertising or purchase providers. The leaderboards in the game show other players’ Game Center or Play Games names, pictures and scores, as Apple and Google provide them under each player’s own privacy settings; the game keeps them in memory while it runs, and never stores them or sends them anywhere. You can sign out, hide your profile, or delete this data, in your device’s Game Center settings or your Play Games profile.

Ratings

The game may ask Apple or Google to show their own rating prompt. A rating or review goes to them under their terms; we only learn whether the prompt was asked (an analytics event), never your rating.

3. Emails you send us

When you write to us, for example with Email support in the app’s Settings (which adds your Player ID to the message), we get your email address, your message and whatever you include, such as screenshots. We use it to answer you and fix the problem, for example to restore Dhoom Pro.

4. The Android beta sign-up on this website

When you join the Android beta on sudofish.com/dhoom-cricket, we store:

• the email address you enter;
• when you signed up;
• where you signed up (this page) and the platform (Android).

We use your email only for Dhoom Cricket’s beta: to add it to the game’s testers in Google Play, so Google lets that account install the test version, and to email you the invite and news about the beta. It isn’t used for marketing, for any other game’s beta or added to any other list. The data is stored in a Cloudflare D1 database that Cloudflare runs for us.

To let you in, we add your email to the beta’s testers group (a Google Group whose members only we can see, and which Google Play lets into the test), then email you the invite, keeping a copy in our inbox. If the beta is open when you sign up, both happen within about six minutes. The group and our email are Google Workspace, which Google runs for us.

To keep bots out, the form uses Cloudflare Turnstile. It checks signals from your browser and connection (such as your IP address and browser characteristics) and tells us only whether the check passed. It loads when you start using the form. See Cloudflare’s Turnstile privacy addendum.

Cloudflare also hosts this website and counts visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which doesn’t use cookies. See Cloudflare’s Privacy Policy.

5. Why we use data, and our legal bases

Where the GDPR or similar laws apply, we rely on these legal bases:

6. Sharing, selling and “sharing” for ads

We don’t sell your personal information for money. We share data only with the services named in this policy, which process it to provide their service, and when the law requires it (for example a valid legal request), or as part of a sale or transfer of the app. Google processes crash reports (Firebase Crashlytics) and the beta’s testers group and emails (Google Workspace) for us.

Under California law (the CCPA, as amended by the CPRA) and similar US state laws, letting ad partners use data such as your advertising ID for ads based on your activity in other apps can count as “sharing” (and in some states, as a “sale”). You can opt out with Privacy choices in the app’s Settings, which appears where these laws apply, or with your device settings below.

7. Your choices

• In the app: open Settings (the gear on the home screen), then under Help & info tap Privacy choices to change your ad and data choices. This row appears in the regions where it applies.
• iPhone and iPad: Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking controls whether Dhoom Cricket may track you.
• Android: Settings → Privacy → Ads (or Settings → Google → Ads) lets you delete or reset your advertising ID.
• Google: manage ad personalization in My Ad Center.
• Leaderboards: sign out of Game Center in your device’s settings, or change or delete your Play Games profile in Google Play.
• The beta: ask us to remove your email at any time; once you’re in, you can also leave the test from Google Play’s test page.

8. How long we keep data

• Progress and settings: on your device until you delete the app.
• Beta sign-up emails: until the Android beta ends, then deleted from our list, the testers group and our inbox. Sooner if you ask.
• Analytics: event-level Google Analytics data for up to 14 months.
• Crash reports: kept for 90 days.
• Purchase records: as long as you need Dhoom Pro to work and restore, and as long as accounting and tax laws require.
• Support emails: as long as we need to help you, and no longer than two years after the conversation ends unless a dispute needs them.
• Ads and leaderboards: Google and Apple keep their data under their own policies, linked above.

9. Your rights, and how to use them

Depending on where you live, you can ask to access, correct, delete or get a copy of your personal data, object to or restrict how we use it, withdraw consent, and opt out of “sales” or “sharing” for ads. We won’t treat you differently for using these rights. You can also complain to your local data protection authority. In India, under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, you can also bring a grievance to us at the address below, and then to the Data Protection Board of India.

To use a right, email [email protected]. For data about your copy of the app, include your Player ID: open Settings (the gear), and under Help & info tap Player ID to copy it. Because there are no accounts, the Player ID is how we find your purchase records and crash reports; analytics data is tied to random IDs we can’t link to you. For the beta, write from the address you signed up with. We answer within one month. If you’re in a US state that offers appeals and we turn your request down, reply to our answer to appeal.

10. Children

Dhoom Cricket is meant for ages 13 and up and isn’t directed to children under 13. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you think a child has given us personal information, for example through the beta sign-up, email us and we’ll delete it.

11. International transfers

We’re based in India. Google, Apple, Cloudflare and RevenueCat process data in the United States and other countries. Where the law requires, these transfers rely on safeguards such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

12. Security

Data sent by the app and the sign-up form is encrypted in transit (HTTPS), and only we can reach the beta list. No method of storing or sending data is completely secure.

13. Changes to this policy

We’ll post any changes on this page and update the date at the top. If a change matters, for example a new service in the app, we’ll also say so in the app or on the Dhoom Cricket page.
