| Privacy Policy |

| We at PointCricket are committed to safeguarding
your privacy online. This privacy policy explains how your personal
information is used while you use PointCricket. This policy is subject
to change from time to time, so please keep visiting this webpage
from time to time for latest updates. There will always be a link
available on a majority of PointCricket's pages, including the homepage,
leading to the latest version of the privacy policy. |

1. The site: www.pointcricket.com
All pages at PointCricket will carry a PointCricket logo. Any page
without a logo cannot be termed official. In case of pop-ups, the
PointCricket logo might not be placed. However, the title bar must
contain the word 'PointCricket' for it to be considered official. |

2. What does this privacy policy cover?
This privacy policy covers the treatment of personally identifiable
information which is or has been collected when you visit PointCricket
and/or use PointCricket's services. |
| |
3. What personal information is collected by
PointCricket and when is it collected?
PointCricket collects information from its users in a number of ways.
To be specific, personal information is collected when users register
an account at PointCricket. Registration is usually voluntary, although
some parts of the site require registration (for example playing the
fantasy cricket game) in order to avail full access to the services.
Information requested will include contact details including name
and e-mail address. If you contact PointCricket, we may keep a record
of that correspondence. |

4. What are cookies and log files and how does
PointCricket use them?
PointCricket also collects information from the site using 'cookies'
and 'IP files'.
Cookies
A cookie is a message given by a web browser (which displays your
chosen webpages on your computer) to a web server (which delivers
the web pages to your computer). The message is stored by your browser
and will be used each time you access the site which the cookie relates
to. Cookies enable PointCricket to track and target the interest of
its users to enhance their experience on our site.
Log files
PointCricket also uses IP (Internet Protocol) addresses to analyse
trends, administer the site, track users' movements, and to gather
broad demographic information for aggregate use. In certain cases,
the information may be scaled down to analyse specific IP addresses
resulting from suspicious activity at PointCricket. All users to the
Internet have an IP address, which enables networks connected to the
Internet to transmit the data and messages submitted by users from
one host to another and to ensure that the messages are understood.
IP addresses are not linked to personally identifiable information
and therefore the information obtained by PointCricket using IP addresses
does not enable individual users to be identified. However, in case
of any suspicious activity, the IP address can be used to help gauge
the offender. If other means are not possible, the IP address can
be blocked too, therby disallowing access to all the users of PointCricket
by using that particular IP address. |

5. How does PointCricket use users' personal
information ?
The information collected by PointCricket from its users and their

provision of our services;
administration of members records;
to notify you about changes to our website and services'
record-keeping for a maximum of five years following termination of our services to you;
administration of our competitions, promotions and special offers;
technical assistance and maintenance;
to inform you about services, which we offer;

In addition, PointCricket carries out research in user demographics,
interests and behaviour based on the information provided to us directly,
from cookies and log files. This is aimed to better understand and
serve our users. This research is compiled and analysed on an aggregated
basis and does not enable identification of individual users. |

6. Does anyone other than PointCricket collect
information from the PointCricket sites?
Except as stated in the Privacy Policy or unless you are informed
at the time of collection of information, only PointCricket collects
personal information from the site. |
| |
7. Does PointCricket share user information?
PointCricket will not sell or rent your personally identifiable information
to anyone. However, user information may be shared under the following
circumstances:
Partners: Business partners, sponsors and advertisers:
PointCricket may disclose aggregate user information to business partners
or sponsors or potential and/or existing advertisers. The information
however will be an aggregated data to assess the promotion. It is
not possible to identify individual users from such aggregated data.
Invite A Friend:
If you wish to use our referral service to inform a friend about
our website, PointCricket will ask you for friend's email address.
PointCricket will automatically send your friend a one-time email
inviting them to visit and possibly join PointCricket. The email will
disclose to your friend your name as at PointCricket and your email
address. PointCricket will store you friend's email address for the
sole purpose of sending this one-time email and for no other use.
As soon as the email is delivered successfully, your friend's email
address does not remain stored at PointCricket. You should only give
us your friend's email address if your friend is happy with you doing
so.
Links:
PointCricket may contain links to other sites. Please be aware that
PointCricket is not responsible for the privacy practices of such
other sites. PointCricket encourages users to be aware when they leave
the site and to read the privacy statements of each and every website
that collects personally identifiable information. |

8. What is PointCricket's policy on allowing
users to update, correct, or delete their personally identifiable
information?
If you wish to update or amend the information held by PointCricket
(for example email address), please contact My Account department
on Contact Us page. PointCricket will
aim to rectify any errors or make requested updates within 72 hours
of receipt of your request.
Registration of PointCricket account(s) can be deleted or deactivated,
although doing so will result in not being able to access any area
or service at PointCricket that requires registration. Deletion or
deactivation also disables you from being notified about updates,
announcements and special offers made through newsletters. Users should
contact My Account on Contact Us
page in order to initiate the process of deleting or deactivating
their account. Efforts will be made to delete or deactivate your account
within 72 hours. |
| |
9. What other security precautions should users
take?
PointCricket strongly recommends that users do not divulge their PointCricket
Account password to anyone. PointCricket will never ask users for
passwords via phone calls, text messages through cellular networks
or unsolicited emails. Users should make it a point to log out from
their account and close the browser window when they have finished
work which requires users to log-in to their PointCricket Account.
This is to ensure that others cannot access your personal information
and correspondence if you share a computer with someone else or are
using a computer in a public place such as a library or Internet cafe.
No data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100%
secure. As a result, while we strive to protect users' personal information,
PointCricket cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information
transmitted to it, and users do so at their own risk. Once PointCricket
receives your transmission, every effort is made to ensure it remains
secure on its systems.
You should keep in mind that whenever you voluntarily disclose personal
information online - for example on forums, through email, or in chat
areas - that information can be collected and used by others. If you
post personal information online that is accessible to the public,
you may receive unsolicited email messages from other parties in return
and/or your personal information could be misused.
Ultimately, you are solely responsible for keeping your passwords
and/or account information secret. You should be careful and responsible
whenever you are online. |

10. Notification of changes
If PointCricket decides to change its Privacy Policy, it will post
changes on this Privacy Policy page so that the users always remain
aware of what information is collected, in what ways is it used and
under what circumstances can it be disclosed. If PointCricket makes
substantial changes to the way personal information is utilised, the
users will be notified via email. |
