KBchess Privacy Policy

At KBchess, we believe your gameplay and your data belong to you. This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle information when you use the KBchess browser extension, software, or website (collectively, the "Service").

Our core philosophy is simple: We do not collect, store, or sell your personal data.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

KBchess is designed to respect your privacy.

• No Account Required: You do not need to create an account with us to use the browser extension.
• No Keystroke Logging: KBchess processes keyboard shortcuts locally on your device to convert keystrokes into chess board movements. We never log, record, or transmit your keystrokes, personal passwords, or chat messages.
• No Gameplay Tracking: We do not track your chess ratings, win/loss records, or the specific games you play on third-party platforms.

2. Information Handled Locally on Your Device

Any settings or configurations you customize within KBchess (such as custom keybindings, visual preferences, or toggle states) are stored locally in your browser's local storage or synced via your browser's built-in sync storage (e.g., Google Chrome Sync). This data stays within your browser ecosystem and is not accessible by us.

3. Third-Party Analytics and Extension Stores

While KBchess itself does not collect data, the platforms used to download and run the extension may gather minimal, aggregated data:

• Extension Web Stores: Platforms like the Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons, or Edge Add-ons automatically collect anonymous, aggregated statistics regarding installations, active users, and crash reports.
• Third-Party Chess Platforms: When using KBchess on sites like Chess.com or Lichess.org, those platforms operate under their own respective privacy policies. KBchess does not share any data with them, nor do we receive data from them.

4. Children's Privacy

Because we do not collect any personal information, our Service does not knowingly collect or solicit data from anyone, including children under the age of 13.

5. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our software or browser compliance standards. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date.
