Six Sense: Hand Cricket Game

Who we are

Six Sense: Hand Cricket Game is published by Comet Barn. Comet Barn is a brand of Hamperpick Ventures LLP.

This policy explains what information Six Sense: Hand Cricket Game (“the game”) handles, why, and the choices you have. It applies only to the game; the Comet Barn website has its own privacy policy.

Information stored on your device

The game stores the following on your device:

• Your settings, your name, your stats and match habits, coins, missions, titles, what you have bought and are using, your daily chase streak, the rivals you have played, and players you have blocked
• A random install ID created on your device. It is not linked to your name, email or any account

Advertising

The game shows ads only when you choose to watch one (for example, to get extra coins or keep a daily streak). There are no banner or pop-up ads. Ads are served by Google AdMob.

When an ad is requested, Google AdMob may collect and use the following to show ads, measure them and prevent fraud:

• Your device’s advertising ID
• Your IP address (used for approximate location)
• Device and app information, such as model, operating system version and language
• How you interact with the ads you choose to watch
• Google AdMob’s privacy information: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

Your choices

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the game asks for your consent before any ads are requested, and you can change your choice at any time in Settings → Privacy options. Everywhere, you can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of personalised ads, in your device’s Android settings (Settings → Privacy → Ads). Not watching ads never blocks play.

In-app purchases

You can buy coin packs, a starter pack, an ad pass, gear kits and Max Level, each a one-time payment. Bats, balls and cricketers give a small edge, capped so a good read still wins. Most pieces can be earned with coins from playing; the Champion bat, ball and cricketer come only in the Champion Kit, inside the same cap. There are no subscriptions. Payments are handled by Google Play; we never see your card or payment details.

To confirm purchases and restore them on a new device, the game uses RevenueCat, which receives:

• A random app user ID created by RevenueCat (not your name or email)
• Your purchase history and receipts from Google Play
• Device and app information, such as operating system version, app version and country
• Your IP address
• RevenueCat’s privacy policy: https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy

Online matches

Quick Play, Friend Duel, Ghost Challenge and weekly events use Comet Barn’s own game server. You don’t need an account: the first time you play online, the server creates an anonymous player record with a random ID and a secret key, which the game keeps on your device. The server receives and keeps:

• Your player name. It is shown to the players you meet, so don’t use your real name if you’d rather not. Names are checked automatically, and offensive ones are refused.
• Your trophies, season, tier badges, win streak and how many ranked matches you have played, so you are matched with players near your level.
• The numbers you and your opponent pick during a match, and the bat, ball and cricketer you play with, while the match is being played, so the server can decide each ball fairly. The match itself is not kept afterwards; only a daily count of matches played per mode, with no player in it.
• The ghosts you send: your name and a summary of the numbers you tend to pick, so friends can play against a bot that picks the way you do. A ghost can be played for 7 days, then it is deleted.
• The results of games against your ghosts: the player’s name, who won and by how much, until you have seen them (or for 30 days at most).
• The player names you report as offensive: your player ID, the name and when you reported it, for 90 days.
• Your IP address, with every request. It is used to keep the service running and to block abuse, and may appear in server logs for a short time.

What other players see

Your player name, tier and trophies, and what you pick during a match you play with them. Friends who play your ghost see your name and its picking habits. Nothing else about you is shown.

Friend Duel and ghost links

A duel room or a ghost has a short code. Only when you choose to share one, the game hands a message with the code and a Google Play link to the app you pick, such as a messaging app; that app delivers it, and we do not receive it. If your friend installs the game from the link, Google Play passes the code on to the game on their device so the room or ghost opens.

Reporting and blocking players

In Rivals, the list of everyone you have played, you can report a player’s name or block the player. When several players report the same name, the server replaces it with a default name such as “Player 4821”. A reported player is not told who reported them. The players you block are kept only on your device, and you can unblock them in Rivals.

How we use information

Information is used only to:

• Run the game and keep your progress on your device
• Show the ads you choose to watch, and keep advertising fair and fraud-free
• Confirm and restore your purchases
• Run online matches, match you with players near your level, and deliver the duels and ghosts you share
• Answer you if you write to us

Sharing

We do not sell your information. Apart from the service providers named above and what other players see in matches, we share information only if the law requires it. Each provider handles what it receives under its own privacy policy, linked above, and its terms with us require it to protect that information at least as well as this policy describes.

Keeping and deleting your data

Uninstalling the game, or clearing its storage in Android settings, deletes everything stored on your device.

Purchase records are kept by Google Play and RevenueCat as needed for receipts, refunds and the law.

On our game server, your player record (name, trophies, season and badges) stays until you delete it; ghosts, ghost results and name reports are deleted after the times given above. Uninstalling the game does not remove your player record. Settings → Delete my online data deletes your player record, badges, ghosts, ghost results and the names you reported, straight away. Your coins, items and progress on the device are not affected. If you play online again afterwards, the server starts a new, empty player record. You can also email us your player name and roughly when you last played, and we will delete it for you.

To ask about or delete any information connected to you, email support@cometbarn.com.

Children

The game is meant for people aged 13 and over and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information, email support@cometbarn.com and we will delete it.

Security

Information sent by the game to the services above travels over encrypted connections. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, but we choose providers that protect data with industry-standard measures.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the game changes. The date at the top shows the latest version. Significant changes will also be noted in the game’s store listing.
