This privacy policy applies to the zChess app (hereby referred to as “Application”) for mobile devices that was created by Ben Zobrist (hereby referred to as “Service Provider”) as a Free service. This service is intended for use “AS IS”.
What information does the Application obtain and how is it used?
The Application collects information about your activity and progress within the courses. This data is stored in iCloud to sync across your devices and is used solely to determine which content to show you next and to personalize your learning experience.
No personally identifiable information, such as your name, email address, or payment information, is collected by the Application.
Does the Application collect precise real time location information of the device?
This Application does not collect precise information about the location of your mobile device.
Do third parties see and/or have access to information obtained by the Application?
Your progress data is stored in iCloud, which is managed by Apple as a third-party service provider. The Service Provider does not access, share, or use this data outside of the Application.
What are my opt-out rights?
You can stop the collection and syncing of your progress data by disabling iCloud for the Application in your device settings. Uninstalling the Application will also remove all locally stored data.
Children
The Application is not intended for children under the age of 13.
The Service Provider does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children. Progress data from children may be synced to iCloud to allow the Application to function across devices, but it is not shared with the Service Provider or any other third parties.
Parents and legal guardians are encouraged to monitor their children’s use of the Application and to help enforce this Policy by instructing their children not to provide any personally identifiable information through the Application or iCloud without permission. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personally identifiable information, please contact the Service Provider at team@zchess.app so that necessary actions can be taken.
You must also be at least 16 years of age to consent to the processing of your personally identifiable information in your country (in some countries we may allow your parent or guardian to do so on your behalf).
Security
Progress data is encrypted in iCloud, and the security of this information depends on your Apple ID and iCloud account settings.
Changes
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time for any reason. The Service Provider will notify you of any changes to their Privacy Policy by updating this page with the new Privacy Policy. You are advised to consult this Privacy Policy regularly for any changes, as continued use is deemed approval of all changes.
This privacy policy is effective as of 2025-10-06
Your Consent
By using the Application, you are consenting to the processing of your information as set forth in this Privacy Policy now and as amended by the Service Provider.
