Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Hoa Nguyen (“we”, “us”, or “our”) handles information in connection with the Chess Draft mobile game (the “App”). We respect your privacy and have designed Chess Draft to collect as little personal data as possible.

By downloading or using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

Chess Draft is a single-player game that runs offline on your device. We do not require you to create an account, and we do not ask for your name, email address, or other directly identifying information.

a. Data stored on your device

Your in-game settings and progress (such as preferred bot difficulty and sound options) are saved locally on your device. This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to us.

b. Analytics data

We use Google Firebase Analytics to understand how players use the App so we can improve it. This may include anonymized or aggregated information such as app events (for example, starting a match), session length, app version, device model, operating system version, language, and general region. We do not use this data to identify you personally.

c. Crash and diagnostic data

We use Firebase Crashlytics to detect and fix crashes and stability problems. When the App crashes, diagnostic information such as the type of device, operating system version, the state of the App at the time of the crash, and a crash stack trace may be collected.

• To operate, maintain, and improve the App.
• To understand usage trends and which features players enjoy.
• To diagnose, fix, and prevent crashes and technical issues.
• To ensure the security and proper functioning of the App.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your data for advertising. Chess Draft does not display third-party ads.

The App relies on the following third-party services, which process data on our behalf according to their own privacy policies:

• Google Firebase Analytics — Firebase Privacy & Security and Google Privacy Policy.
• Firebase Crashlytics — Firebase Privacy & Security.

We do not sell or rent your information. We may disclose information only: (a) to the service providers listed above so they can perform services for us; or (b) if required to do so by law, regulation, or valid legal process.

Analytics and crash data are retained for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, in accordance with the retention controls and default periods provided by Google Firebase. Data stored locally on your device remains until you delete it or uninstall the App.

Chess Draftis suitable for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in a way that would violate the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the GDPR, or applicable app store policies for families. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to remove it.

• You can stop all collection of data by the App by uninstalling it using the standard process for your device.
• Depending on where you live (for example, under the GDPR or CCPA), you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, or to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below.
• You can limit ad and analytics identifiers through your device's system settings.

We rely on industry-standard safeguards provided by our service providers to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Our service providers may process and store information on servers located in countries other than your own. By using the App, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in those countries.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Effective date” above. We encourage you to review this page periodically for the latest information.
