Chess Combat (“we”, “our”, or “us”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you use the Chess Combat mobile app, how it is used, and your choices.

This app is designed as an offline local multiplayer chess game and is intended to align with Google Play requirements, including the Google Play Developer Policy Center: https://play.google/developer-content-policy/.

1) What Chess Combat Does

Chess Combat is an offline chess game that supports:

• 8x8 and 10x10 boards

• Custom pre-arrangement gameplay

• Local game save/resume

• In-app ads (Google AdMob)

No account, login, or sign-up is required.

2) Information We Collect

A. Information Stored Locally on Your Device

To provide gameplay features, the app stores game-related data locally on your device (Room database / app preferences), such as:

• Current game state (board positions, turns, captures, arrangement phase, etc.)

• App settings (theme, piece style, sound preferences)

• Basic ad-flow state (e.g., counters/flags used to control ad display behavior)

This local data is not uploaded by us to our own servers.

B. Advertising and Analytics-Related Data (via Third-Party SDKs)

Chess Combat uses Google AdMob to show ads. AdMob and related Google services may collect or process certain data automatically, depending on device settings, ad consent status, and regional legal requirements. This may include:

• Device identifiers (including advertising ID, where applicable)

• IP address

• Approximate location (derived from IP)

• Device and app information

• Ad interaction events, diagnostics, and performance data

Please refer to Google’s policies for more details on how Google handles data for ads.

C. Information You Send Us Directly

If you email us for support or feedback, we receive the information you include in your email (such as your email address and message content).

3) Permissions Used

Chess Combat currently uses network access (Internet) to load ads.
The app does not require account credentials, contacts, photos, microphone, or precise location access for core gameplay.

4) How We Use Information

We use information to:

• Run core game features and save your local progress

• Remember your settings/preferences

• Display ads and maintain app monetization

• Improve app stability and user experience

• Respond to support/feedback emails

5) Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information.
Data may be processed by trusted third-party service providers used by the app, primarily Google AdMob / Google Play services, only as needed to provide ad and platform functionality.

6) Data Retention

• Local gameplay/settings data: retained on your device until you clear app data, uninstall the app, or overwrite game state.

• Email communications: retained as long as necessary to handle support/feedback.

• Ad-related data: retention is governed by Google’s systems and policies.

7) Your Choices and Controls

You can:

• Stop local data storage by uninstalling the app or clearing app data in device settings

• Control ad personalization settings through your Google/device ad settings

• Contact us to ask privacy-related questions at: rushi19.sb654@gmail.com

8) Children’s Privacy

Chess Combat is not intended to knowingly collect personal information directly from children.
If you believe a child has provided personal information via support email, contact us and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

9) Security

We take reasonable steps to protect data processed through the app.
However, no method of storage or transmission is 100% secure.

10) International Processing

Third-party services (such as Google AdMob) may process data on servers located in different countries. By using the app, you understand such processing may occur under those providers’ terms and policies.

11) Third-Party Services

Chess Combat uses third-party services, including:

• Google Play services

• Google AdMob

Their data handling practices are governed by their own privacy terms and policies.

12) Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
When updated, we will revise the “Effective Date” above. Continued use of the app after updates means you accept the revised policy.
