Privacy Policy

At Chessist (accessible from https://chessist.in/), one of our main priorities is the privacy of our visitors. This Privacy Policy document contains types of information that is collected and recorded by Chessist and how we use it.

If you have additional questions or require more information about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact developer Roshan Pandey directly at roshanpandey80763@gmail.com.

1. General Data & Personal Information

Chessist is engineered as an offline-capable, privacy-respecting client-side application. We do not require users to create an account, log in, or provide personal credentials (such as real names, phone numbers, or passwords) to play chess against the computer or pass-and-play with friends.

Any local game preferences, such as selected chessboard wood themes, sound volume, haptic toggles, and match records, are stored locally on your device via browser localStorage. This information never leaves your personal device and is never transmitted to external databases.

2. Google AdSense & DoubleClick DART Cookie

Google is a third-party advertising vendor on our site. Google uses cookies, known as DART cookies, to serve ads to our site visitors based upon their visit to chessist.in and other websites across the internet.

Visitors may choose to decline or manage the use of DART cookies by visiting the Google Ad and Content Network Privacy Policy at the following URL: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

Google AdSense may use cookies and web beacons on our site. Third-party ad servers or ad networks use technologies like cookies, JavaScript, or Web Beacons that are sent directly to users' browsers. They automatically receive your IP address when this occurs. These technologies are used to measure the effectiveness of their advertising campaigns and to personalize advertising content that you see.

3. Log Files

Chessist follows a standard procedure of using log files when visitors use websites. The information collected by log files includes internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date and time stamp, referring/exit pages, and possibly the number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose of the information is for analyzing trends, administering the site, tracking users' movement on the website, and gathering demographic information.

4. CCPA Privacy Rights (Do Not Sell My Personal Information)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California consumers have the right to:

• Request that a business disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal data that a business has collected about consumers.
• Request that a business delete any personal data about the consumer that a business has collected.
• Request that a business that sells a consumer's personal data, not sell the consumer's personal data. We confirm that Chessist does not sell personal data.

5. GDPR Data Protection Rights

We want to ensure you are fully aware of all of your data protection rights. Every user is entitled to the following:

• The right to access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data.
• The right to rectification: You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate.
• The right to erasure: You have the right to request that we erase your personal data under certain conditions.
• The right to data portability: You have the right to request that we transfer data that we have collected to another organization.

6. Children's Online Privacy Protection (COPPA)

Another part of our priority is adding protection for children while using the internet. We encourage parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and/or monitor and guide their online activity. Chessist does not knowingly collect any Personal Identifiable Information from children under the age of 13.
