1. Introduction & Scope
Welcome to PTVSports.live ("we", "our", or "us"). We are committed to protecting your personal information and respecting your privacy rights. This Privacy Policy details our practices concerning how we collect, use, store, and safeguard information when you access our website (ptvsports.live), read match reports, utilize our live scorecards, and browse our cricket tournament archives.
2. Information We Collect
We process information collected across two primary mechanisms:
- Voluntary Information: When you complete our contact form, submit an editorial correction, or sign up for match alerts, we collect your name, email address, subject category, and message body.
- Automated Diagnostic Logs: When you navigate our pages, our servers log technical data including IP addresses, browser user-agents, operating systems, referring URLs, timestamps, and page request routes to guarantee uptime and prevent unauthorized intrusions.
- Session & Security Cookies: We utilize strictly necessary HTTP session cookies (such as CSRF protection tokens) to safeguard user submissions from cross-site request forgery.
3. How Your Information Is Utilized
The information we collect is used strictly for legitimate media operations:
- To serve real-time cricket scorecards, fixture updates, and sports articles without performance latency.
- To evaluate and respond to reader enquiries, news tips, and factual correction notices.
- To detect, prevent, and remediate cybersecurity threats, abusive scraping bots, and brute-force login attempts.
- To calculate aggregate visitor statistics to inform layout improvements and editorial coverage priorities.
PTVSports.live does NOT sell, rent, monetize, or trade your personal information with data brokers, advertisers, or unaffiliated commercial parties. Any information shared with operational processors (e.g., hosting providers) is strictly limited to infrastructure delivery.
4. Third-Party Links & External Services
Our articles and match guides frequently link to external third-party resources, including official cricket board portals (PCB, ICC, ESPNcricinfo) and legal authorized broadcast streaming services (Tamasha, Tapmad). We do not control, manage, or accept responsibility for the privacy practices or cookie policies of third-party platforms. We encourage users to inspect external privacy notices upon leaving our domain.
5. Data Retention & Security Protocols
We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal submissions from unauthorized disclosure, loss, or destruction. Contact form submissions and audit log entries are retained only as long as necessary to fulfill operational review and compliance obligations, after which they are systematically purged.
6. Your Rights & Contact Information
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have statutory rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data you have submitted to us. To exercise your rights, please reach out via our secure Contact Page or email us directly at desk@ptvsports.live.
