Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 1, 2026. This policy explains what information ChessAlive collects and how it is used.

Who we are

ChessAlive ("we", "us") operates the website and app at chessalive.com. If you have any questions about this policy, contact us at hello@chessalive.com.

Information we collect

• Account information. If you sign in, we store your display name, email address, and game-related data (ratings, puzzle progress, and match history) so we can save your progress across devices.
• Usage data. Like most websites, our servers and analytics may record standard technical information such as your browser type, device, approximate region, and pages visited, to keep the service secure and reliable.
• Local storage. We store some preferences (such as theme and puzzle progress) on your own device so the app works smoothly. You can clear this at any time from your browser settings.

How we use information

We use the information above to provide and improve the service: to save your games and settings, keep accounts secure, prevent abuse, and understand which features are useful. We do not sell your personal information.

Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in and remember your preferences (such as theme and settings). You can clear or block cookies at any time from your browser settings, though some features may not work without them. We do not serve third-party advertising and we do not set advertising cookies.

Payments

If you purchase ChessAlive Premium, payment is processed by our payment provider. We do not store your full card details on our servers; we retain only the records needed to provide and support your subscription.

Children's privacy

ChessAlive is not directed to children under the age required by your local law to consent to data processing, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Your choices

You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your account data by emailing hello@chessalive.com. You can sign out at any time, and clear locally stored data from your browser or device settings.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by the "last updated" date above.
