Privacy Policy

Effective Date: September 3, 2026

Dhvaj Solutions ("we", "us", or "our") operates the Chess mobile application. This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our App and the choices you have associated with that data.

1. Information Collection and Use

We build our App to be played locally. We do not require you to create an account, nor do we intentionally collect personally identifiable information (such as your name, email address, or phone number) directly on our servers. However, the App relies on third-party services that may collect information used to identify you.

2. Third-Party Services & Advertising (AdMob, AppLovin, InMobi, Liftoff)

To support the development of this free game, we use third-party advertising networks. These third parties may use cookies, web beacons, and other tracking technologies to collect information about you when you use the App. The data collected typically includes:

• Device Information (e.g., device model, OS version).
• Advertising Identifiers (e.g., Google Advertising ID on Android, IDFA on iOS).
• IP Addresses and coarse location data.
• Usage data (e.g., how you interact with ads).

We specifically use the following advertising partners through Google AdMob Mediation. Please review their privacy policies for more details on how they process your data:

• Google AdMob: Google Privacy Policy
• AppLovin: AppLovin Privacy Policy
• InMobi: InMobi Privacy Policy
• Liftoff (Vungle): Liftoff Privacy Policy

3. Local Storage

We use local device storage mechanisms (such as Hive and Shared Preferences) to save your game progress, settings, and high scores. This data is strictly stored locally on your physical device and is not transmitted to our servers.

4. Your Privacy Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

Depending on your location, you may have specific privacy rights regarding your data:

• GDPR (European Economic Area): You have the right to access, rectify, or erase your personal data. You will be prompted with a consent dialog upon first opening the app to choose whether you accept personalized ads. You can revoke this consent at any time through your device settings or the app's privacy settings.
• CCPA (California Residents): You have the right to request information about the data collected and to opt out of the "sale" of your personal information. We do not sell data directly, but targeted advertising may fall under this definition. You can opt out using your device settings.

5. How to Opt-Out of Targeted Advertising

You can opt out of personalized advertising by adjusting your device settings:

• iOS: Go to Settings > Privacy > Tracking and disable "Allow Apps to Request to Track". Alternatively, go to Settings > Privacy > Apple Advertising and disable "Personalized Ads".
• Android: Go to Settings > Google > Ads and enable "Opt out of Ads Personalization" or "Delete advertising ID".

6. Children's Privacy (COPPA)

Our App is designed for a general audience. However, we comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will immediately delete this from our servers. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy periodically. We advise you to review this page occasionally for any changes. Changes are effective immediately after they are posted on this page.
