Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 5, 2026

This Privacy Policy applies to Chess: Learn and Play, a mobile chess app developed by developedbyjacob.

The app allows users to play chess locally against the computer, play local matches between two players on the same device, and practice chess endgames. The app does not include online multiplayer, user accounts, chat, cloud sync, or social features.

By using the app, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

Information We Collect

Chess: Learn and Play does not require you to create an account and does not directly collect personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, or precise location.

The app may store basic gameplay-related information locally on your device, such as game progress, settings, preferences, statistics, or practice progress. This information is stored only on your device and is not sent to our servers.

Advertising

The app uses Google AdMob to display ads. Currently, the app may show banner ads. In the future, the app may also show interstitial ads.

AdMob may collect and process certain information automatically, such as device identifiers, advertising ID, approximate location, app interactions, diagnostic information, and other data used for advertising, analytics, fraud prevention, and service improvement.

This data is processed by Google according to its own privacy practices. You can learn more about how Google uses data for advertising here:

For Android apps using the Google Mobile Ads SDK, Google provides information about data handling and Google Play data disclosure requirements here:

Personalized and Non-Personalized Ads

Depending on your region and applicable laws, you may be asked for consent regarding personalized ads.

Personalized ads may use information such as your advertising ID or app activity to show ads that are more relevant to you. Non-personalized ads are based on contextual information, such as the app content or general location.

You can manage or reset your advertising ID and ad personalization settings through your device settings.

Children’s Privacy

The app is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed to children under the age required by applicable law.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. However, third-party advertising services such as Google AdMob may process certain device or advertising data as described in their own policies.

If the app is made available to children or included in a family-focused section of an app store in the future, we will review the app’s advertising settings and privacy practices accordingly.

Local Gameplay

The app supports local chess gameplay only. This means that matches between two players take place on the same device. The app does not transmit moves, player names, game history, or gameplay data to other players or online servers.

Third-Party Services

The app uses third-party services that may collect information used to identify you.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

Since the app does not have its own server or account system, we do not directly share user-provided personal data with third parties.

However, advertising data may be collected and processed by Google AdMob as described above.

Data Retention

Gameplay settings, preferences, and local progress may remain stored on your device until you delete them, clear the app data, or uninstall the app.

Advertising-related data collected by Google AdMob is retained according to Google’s own policies.

Security

We take reasonable steps to keep the app safe and to avoid collecting unnecessary data. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure.

Your Choices

You can control certain privacy options through your device settings, including:

If a consent form is shown in your region, you may be able to manage your advertising consent choices from within the app or through the consent dialog.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date.

You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
