ChessDada operates the ChessDada website (chessdada.com), Chrome Extension, and Android mobile application. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our free multiplayer chess platform.
We collect the following information when you create an account: username, email address, and password (encrypted using bcrypt hashing). If you sign in with Google or Microsoft, we receive your name and email address from those providers. We do not collect payment information, as ChessDada is completely free to use.
We use your information to provide and maintain the chess platform, authenticate your account, display your username to other players during games and in chat, track game statistics and ratings (Elo), enable multiplayer matchmaking, and improve our services based on aggregated usage patterns.
Your data is stored securely on our servers located in DigitalOcean data centers. Passwords are never stored in plaintext — they are hashed using bcrypt with industry-standard salt rounds. All connections to ChessDada use HTTPS encryption (TLS 1.3). We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties.
We use a single authentication cookie to keep you logged in across sessions. This cookie is essential for the service to function and cannot be disabled. We do not use tracking cookies for advertising purposes.
We use Google Analytics for anonymized usage statistics, Google OAuth for optional Google Sign-In, and Microsoft Identity Platform for optional Microsoft Sign-In. These providers may collect limited technical information (IP address, browser type) according to their own privacy policies.
ChessDada is available to users of all ages. Chess is a family-friendly activity and our platform is designed to be safe for younger players. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental consent. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.
You have the right to request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time. To request deletion, please email us at zaib71020@gmail.com from the email address associated with your account. We will process your request within 30 days.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes. Continued use of ChessDada after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or your data, please contact us at: zaib71020@gmail.com
