1. Introduction

ChessIconic (“we,” “our,” or “the app”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you download and use ChessIconic on iOS or Android devices.

This policy is intended to comply with:

  • Apple App Store Review Guidelines
  • Google Play Developer Policy
  • General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

2. Information We Collect

a. Personal Information

ChessIconic does not require user accounts and does not directly collect personal information such as:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Physical address
  • Contacts
  • Chess account credentials

Most user-generated content remains stored locally on your device.

b. Automatically Collected Information

While we do not directly collect analytics ourselves, third-party services integrated into the app may automatically collect limited information.

This may include:

  • IP address
  • Device type and operating system
  • Country-level location
  • Ad interaction data
  • Purchase validation data

3. Local Data Storage

User-generated content (such as journals, habits, moods, reflections, or preferences) is stored locally on your device.

  • We do not operate servers that store personal content.
  • We do not provide cloud syncing.
  • Deleting the app may permanently delete locally stored data.

4. Advertising

ChessIconic uses Google AdMob to display advertisements.

AdMob may automatically collect certain information to:

  • Serve advertisements
  • Measure ad performance
  • Prevent fraud
  • Provide personalized ads (where permitted)

This information may include:

  • Advertising ID
  • IP address
  • Device information
  • General location (country or region)
  • Ad engagement data

Google processes this data under its own Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Users in the European Economic Area (EEA), UK, and other applicable regions may be presented with a consent form to manage advertising preferences.

5. In-App Purchases & Subscriptions

ChessIconic uses RevenueCat to manage in-app purchases and subscriptions.

RevenueCat may collect limited information required to:

  • Validate purchases
  • Manage subscription status
  • Restore purchases
  • Prevent fraud

This may include anonymous device identifiers, purchase receipts, and subscription status information.

RevenueCat processes data under its own Privacy Policy: https://www.revenuecat.com/privacy/

6. Data Sharing & Selling

  • We do not sell personal data.
  • We do not share personal data for cross-context behavioral advertising.
  • However, third-party services such as Google AdMob and RevenueCat process limited data as described above.

7. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

Where applicable, the legal basis for processing limited data through third-party providers includes:

  • Performance of a contract (to provide paid features)
  • Consent (for personalized advertising, where required)
  • Legitimate interests (fraud prevention and service functionality)

8. Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

  • Request access to personal data
  • Request deletion of personal data
  • Object to certain data processing
  • Request data portability

Since ChessIconic does not maintain user accounts or store personal content on external servers, rights requests typically relate only to third-party providers.

California residents:

  • We do not sell personal information.
  • We do not share data for cross-context behavioral advertising.

9. Children’s Privacy

ChessIconic is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

  • No external databases for personal content
  • No cloud storage of user-generated data

Security depends primarily on your device’s operating system protections.
