Stumpd — Privacy Policy

Last updated: 27 September 2026

Stumpd is a cricket scoring app. This policy explains what data we collect, why, who it is shared with, and how you can delete it. We keep it minimal on purpose.

What we collect

• Email address. Collected when you sign in with Google or with an email and password. Sign-in is handled by Google Firebase Authentication, which verifies who you are and tells us your email address, your Firebase account id, and — for Google sign-in — the display name on your Google account. We use these solely to identify your account so your matches sync across devices. We never use them for marketing and never share them. We never receive or store your password; Google handles it.
• Name (optional). Supplied by Google when you sign in with Google, or typed by you. Used only to show who you are inside the app.
• Phone number (optional). Only if you choose to add one to your profile. It is contact information and nothing more: it does not identify your account, it is never verified, and it cannot be used to sign in. We do not use it for marketing and do not share it. You can clear it at any time.
• Your cricket data. The matches you score (teams, players you name, ball-by-ball events, results) and saved teams. This is stored so you can access your history and reuse teams.
• A device identifier. A random ID generated on your device to create a guest account and sync your data.
• Advertising ID and related ad data. Stumpd shows ads to keep the app free. Our advertising partner collects your device's advertising ID and limited technical information — see Advertising below.

We do not collect your location, contacts, photos, or microphone data, and we do not use third-party analytics SDKs.

Advertising

Stumpd is free, and ads are how it stays free. We use Google AdMob to serve them. AdMob is provided by Google, which acts as an independent third party — not as our processor — for the data it collects through ads.

To serve and measure ads, Google may collect and use:

• your device's advertising ID (a resettable identifier you control in Android Settings);
• device and technical information such as device model, operating system version, language, and IP address (from which approximate, city-level location can be inferred — we do not collect precise GPS location);
• ad interaction data, such as which ads were shown, viewed, or tapped.

Google may use this to show you personalised ads, to limit how often you see the same ad, and to detect invalid activity and fraud. Google may combine it with data it holds from other apps and sites that use its services. How Google uses this data is described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services, and in Google's Privacy Policy. You can review Google's advertising partners at business.safety.google/adspartners.

Your choices about ads

• Reset or delete your advertising ID. On Android: Settings → Privacy → Ads. You can reset the ID at any time, or delete it entirely so apps receive no advertising ID at all.
• Opt out of personalised ads. In the same Android settings screen. You will still see ads, but they will not be personalised.
• If you are in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, we ask for your consent before any personalised advertising, using Google's certified consent message. You can change your choice at any time from Settings → Ad privacy settings inside the app. If you decline, you will still see ads, but non-personalised ones.

How it's stored & protected

Your account and cricket data is transmitted over encrypted HTTPS and stored on our server (a private VPS). Player names you enter are the names you type — please only enter names you're comfortable saving. Advertising data is held by Google under its own policies, not on our server.

Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We do not share your account, matches or saved teams with anyone — with one exception you control: if you generate a live-share link for a match, anyone with that link can watch that match's score. You can revoke the link at any time from the app.

The advertising data described above is collected by and shared with Google as our advertising partner. Under some privacy laws (for example in certain US states), using an advertising ID for personalised ads can count as "sharing" or "selling" personal information; you can prevent this by opting out of personalised ads as described above.

We use two Google services to run the app, and each receives only what it needs to do its job:

• Firebase Authentication handles signing in. It verifies your Google account or your email and password, and tells us your email address and account id. Your password is never sent to us.
• Google Analytics for Firebase records how the app is used — for example that a match was started or finished, and which match format was chosen. It never receives your email address, your phone number, or the names of any players or teams you enter, and it is switched off entirely unless you have consented where consent is required.

Deleting your data

You can permanently delete your account and all associated data at any time:

• In the app: Settings → Delete my account & data.
• Or on the web: Stumpd account deletion page.

Deletion is immediate and irreversible — it removes your account, matches, and saved teams from our server. Advertising data held by Google is not ours to delete; to remove or reset that identifier, use the Android settings described above.

Children

Stumpd is not directed at children under 13 and we don't knowingly collect their data. The app is not listed in Google Play's Families programme. If you believe a child has given us data, email us and we will delete it.

Changes

We'll update this page if the policy changes and revise the date above.
