Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 8, 2026

BoardMate Chess provides free chess-related web tools for players, coaches, clubs, schools, and organizers. This page explains the general privacy approach for this website.

Information we may collect

The website is designed primarily as a static collection of browser-based tools. Some tools may save information locally in your browser, such as preferences, tool settings, or imported working data. Local browser storage normally remains on your device unless a specific tool clearly uses an external service.

Uploaded or entered data

Do not enter sensitive personal information unless you understand how the specific tool works. For public deployment, review each individual tool and remove any sample data, test information, or private files before publishing.

Cookies, advertising, and third-party services

BoardMate Chess may later display advertising or sponsorship placements to help keep the tools free. If Google AdSense or another ad network is added, third-party vendors may use cookies or similar technologies to serve and measure ads. This policy should be updated before enabling those services.

Google AdSense preparation

If Google AdSense is enabled later, the site owner should update this policy to disclose ad cookies, third-party advertising partners, personalized or non-personalized ads, consent requirements where applicable, and user choices for ad personalization.

Links to other pages

The chess tools may include links to other pages or third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites.

Data security

Reasonable care should be taken before publishing or updating the site. Keep backups of your files and review any code added by third-party advertising, analytics, or widgets.

Contact

Before publishing, replace this paragraph with your official contact email or contact method so visitors can reach the BoardMate Chess owner for privacy questions.
