When you create an account on ChainMate Chess, we collect your email address, username, and optionally your Solana wallet address. We also collect gameplay data such as match history, ratings, puzzle statistics, and tournament participation to provide our services.
We use your information to operate ChainMate Chess, including matchmaking, leaderboards, reward distribution, and anti-cheating measures. Your email is used for account management and important service communications.
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on our website. Google AdSense may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to ChainMate Chess and/or other sites on the Internet.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
We use cookies and similar technologies to maintain your session, store preferences, and support advertising. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your browsing activity. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.
If you connect a Solana wallet, your public wallet address is stored to facilitate $CHESS token rewards and NFT transactions. Blockchain transactions are public by nature — we do not control data recorded on-chain.
We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with service providers who help us operate the platform (e.g., hosting, analytics, anti-bot detection). We may also disclose information if required by law.
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) and secure authentication tokens. However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data by contacting us. You can delete your account at any time through your settings page.
If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us through the ChainMate Chess platform.
