Delete account — what deletion looks like for an editorial-only site

This page explains why you can't 'delete an account' on iplfantasypicks.com (because there is no account), and how to manage your interaction data on this site.

What deletion means here

Why an editorial desk has nothing to delete — and what it does clear

No user account

iplfantasypicks.com does not maintain user accounts. There is no username, no password, no stored captain matrix, no saved team — nothing to delete in the traditional sense of an account.

Cookies

We use cookies for analytics. Clear them from your browser at any time and our analytics will no longer link your visits to a session. The privacy policy details which cookies are set and how to manage them.

Email list

If you have subscribed to an editorial newsletter (which is rare — most of our coverage is published on-site), you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any newsletter email. The unsubscribe is processed immediately.

Reading data

Our analytics record anonymous, aggregate page-view data — typically the URL and the country of origin. We do not record your personal information, your IP address beyond what your browser sends, or any identifier that can be traced back to you. The privacy policy covers what we collect in detail.

Frequently asked

Questions our readers ask

There is no account to delete on iplfantasypicks.com. We do not run a user account system. If you have subscribed to an email list or accepted cookies, both can be cleared from this site's privacy page; that is the entire deletion path here.

Use the platform's own account-deletion flow. A legitimate platform publishes its deletion policy on its help / privacy pages and exposes the deletion request through the account menu. The process usually requires KYC verification before the deletion is processed.

We don't keep captain matrix history at the user level. Every match page on this site is published as a static URL; we don't track which URL you opened. The privacy policy lists the analytics data we collect and the cookie controls available to you.

What we store, what we don't

Where the desk's data boundary actually sits

Stored — anonymous analytics

We store anonymous, aggregate page-view data: typically the URL, the country of origin, and an aggregated timestamp. The data is used to understand which pages get read and which pages need editing. We do not store user identifiers.

Not stored — your reading history

We do not store your reading history at the user level. There is no profile, no ranking, no implicit feedback loop of "you read page A, so we'd recommend page B." The site is the same for everyone.

Cookies — how to clear them

We use analytics cookies that are non-personalised. Clear them from your browser at any time and our analytics will no longer link your visits to a session. Browser-level clearing is the entire cookie-control path on this site.

Email list

If you have subscribed to an editorial newsletter, you can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any newsletter email. We do not share email addresses with third parties. The unsubscribe is processed immediately.

Privacy and the desk

How an editorial-only site handles privacy differently

No tracking pixels

We don't load third-party tracking pixels. There are no Facebook, Google, or analytics-vendor scripts that follow you across the web. The analytics we do collect is anonymous, aggregate, server-side.

No third-party cookies

We don't set third-party cookies. The only cookies set are first-party analytics cookies that you can clear at any time from your browser. Clearing them removes any link between your visits.

No email automation

We don't send automated drip emails. We don't run "engagement" campaigns. The only emails we send are the editorial newsletter (which is opt-in), and you can unsubscribe at any time.

No social login

We don't offer social login, OAuth or anything that requires you to log into the desk with another service. The desk has no accounts; it has no users; it has no data to share.

Worked example

How the desk actually applies this in a single match

Step 1 · Read the pre-toss frame

A real pre-toss frame on the desk covers the venue (Chepauk, slow turner, dew moderate), the weather (32°C, hazy), the workload notes (Bumrah held to 3 overs, ankle tight), and the open questions (which spinner opens the bowling for the away side). The frame is anchored to public inputs; any input that is not public is not in the frame.

Step 2 · Build the captain shortlist

The captain shortlist is built from the Tier 1, 2, 3 ladder. Tier 1 is the safer captain pool — role-locked, low-volatility. Tier 2 is the moderate-volatility pool — usually allrounders or impact-player slots. Tier 3 is the high-volatility pool — usually role-fluid allrounders or anchors who might be promoted.

Step 3 · Update after the toss

After the toss and confirmed XI, the captain matrix is updated. If the side batting first wins the toss and goes in, the chasing captain pool widens (because of dew). If the chasing side wins and bowls, the captain pool compresses (because the chase-friendly read is gone).

Step 4 · Re-evaluate after the powerplay

After the powerplay, the captain matrix is re-evaluated for the bowlers who have bowled (if any) and the batters who have batted (if any). The differential pool may shift — if a fast bowler is moving the ball on overcast conditions, the differential captain shifts to the powerplay anchor.

Step 5 · Publish the post-match audit

After the match ends, the post-match audit is published within four hours. The audit covers the pre-toss frame, the actual outcome, the captain matrix delta, and the desk's edit for the next match. The audit is what compounds across the season.

Step 6 · Track the delta over the season

The audit feeds the desk's rolling confidence score. The score is published quarterly with its limitations named. Reading the score is how readers know where the desk's reads are stronger or weaker — and where to size their own calls accordingly.

Frequently asked

What readers ask us about this page

Why is this page on the site if you don't operate anything?

Because readers ask. The page exists to answer the verified questions readers send to the editorial desk, in plain language, with the limitations of what we publish named openly. We treat the access pages the same as the editorial pages — anchored to sources, labelled, and corrected when wrong.

How do I know the desk actually reads every question?

We publish a monthly editor's note that lists the questions received and the answers published. The note is part of the desk's public record — it is not deletable. You can see the same questions the editor saw, and the same answers that were published.

What if I disagree with something on this page?

Send a correction or a counter-view to the editorial inbox. We verify the input, publish a dated correction note if needed, and credit the source. The correction log is open; readers can see every correction and the reason for it.

Is any of this page written by AI?

No. Every page on this site is reviewed by an editor before publication. AI tools may be used in the research pipeline (data summarisation, sample-size checks); the editorial prose is human-written, edited, and signed off. We do not publish AI-generated prose without editorial review.
