# Privacy Policy for Chessgame
**Last Updated:** July 25, 2026
This privacy policy (the "Policy") describes how the Chessgame mobile application (the "App") handles user data. The App is developed as a local-only mobile application for playing chess.
We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Policy outlines our practices regarding information collection, usage, and sharing.

## 1. Information Collection and Use
**Chessgame does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal information or user data.**
- **No Personal Data:** We do not collect personal identifiers such as your name, email address, physical address, telephone number, or device identifiers.
- **No Account Registration:** You do not need to create an account or sign in to use the App. All game configurations, settings, and histories are stored entirely locally on your device.
- **No Third-Party SDKs:** The App does not integrate with any third-party ad networks, analytics SDKs (e.g., Firebase Analytics, Google Analytics), or tracking services.
- **No Internet Required:** The App is designed to run entirely offline. It does not communicate with external servers or transmit any data over the internet.

## 2. Device Permissions
The App does not require or request any sensitive device permissions, such as access to your:
- Location (GPS or network-based)
- Camera or Microphone
- Contacts or Calendar
- Device storage (External read/write permissions are not requested; the App uses standard internal app-specific sandbox storage for local settings)
- Phone state or network status

## 3. Log Data and Crash Reports
When you use the App, no usage logs, activity reports, or error logs are transmitted to us.
However, if the App crashes or encounters an error while running on your device, the operating system (Android via Google Play Services) may collect diagnostic info and crash logs. This data is collected and managed by Google in accordance with the Google Play Store terms and privacy policy. We only access anonymous, aggregated crash reports provided by Google Play Console to improve the stability and performance of the App.

## 4. Children's Privacy
Our App is safe for users of all ages, including children. Because the App does not collect, request, or share any personal information, it complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and Google Play's Families Policy.

## 5. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be made by updating this document. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
