Privacy Policy
Effective Date: July 3, 2026
At ChessNova, we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you use our platform.
Data We Collect
When you register, we collect basic profile information (such as your display name, email address, and profile picture) through your login provider (Google, Facebook, etc.). While you use ChessNova, we store your game history, puzzle progress, and any chessboard images you upload for analysis.
How We Use Your Data
Your game data and uploaded images are strictly used to personalize your learning experience, provide AI-powered insights (via Stockfish), and match you with opponents in interactive modes like Puzzle Duels.
Data Sharing
We firmly commit NEVER to sell your personal data to third parties. Any integration or connection to your Chess.com or Lichess accounts is solely used to synchronize your game history with your explicit permission via their official APIs.
Data Protection
Chessboard images uploaded through our "Scan & Analyze" feature are processed instantly and may be deleted from our servers periodically to save resources. These images are never used for identification purposes.
Affiliate Disclosure
Some links on ChessNova are affiliate links to third-party chess courses. They are always labelled "Sponsored". If you buy through one of them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We do not share your personal data with these partners — the only thing sent is the click itself, and the purchase then happens entirely on the partner's own site under their privacy policy.
