Privacy Policy

Chester is a chess game. We collect the smallest amount of information we need to make the game work, store it on our own servers, and don't sell or share it.

• Display name — the name you type when you join a game or first play a Daily Puzzle. Stored locally in your browser and sent to our server alongside your moves so we can show it to your opponent and put it on the leaderboard.
• Device ID — a random identifier (UUID) we generate on your first visit and store in your browser's localStorage. It lets us tell devices apart without asking you to make an account.
• Game data — moves, results, time spent per game, and which puzzles you've solved. Used to make the game work and (for one specific user, our nephew George) to pay him for playing.
• Standard server logs — your IP address and browser version show up in our hosting provider's logs, the same way they would for any website. We don't use them for tracking or analytics.

• No email or phone number.
• No password or social-login profile.
• No third-party analytics or advertising trackers (Google, Meta, etc.) on the live game surface.
• No cross-site tracking.

Chester runs on Netlify's hosting + database (PostgreSQL). Your game data is stored in that database, in the United States. Netlify is our processor; their privacy policy covers their own data handling.

We don't set tracking cookies. We do use your browser's localStorage to remember your display name, device ID, and offline progress (which Learn Chess lessons you've completed, which Daily Puzzles you've solved). You can clear it any time via your browser's site settings.

Chester is rated for ages 13 and up. We don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you think a child has provided us their info, email hi@superfun.games and we'll delete it.

You can ask us to delete the data tied to your display name or device ID at any time. Email hi@superfun.games with the name and we'll do it.

If we change this policy in a way that affects how your data is handled, we'll update the effective date at the top and, for material changes, post a note on the home screen.
