Privacy Policy

This policy describes what happens to information when you use chesspuzzleprint.com. The short version: there are no accounts, no forms and no comments; the chess tools work on your own device; the site uses Google Analytics to count visits; and if advertising is switched on, Google and other vendors will use cookies as described below.

Who is responsible

This website is operated by SKYSEED TECH LLC. For any privacy-related inquiries, please contact support@chesspuzzleprint.com.

What we collect

Visit statistics (Google Analytics)

The site uses Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages are useful. Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser and receives your IP address, the page address, your browser and device type, and the pages you view. We use the reports to improve the site; we do not try to identify individual visitors. Google describes its handling of this data at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services. You can block Google Analytics with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on or through your browser’s cookie settings.

What you enter into the tools

Moves, FEN positions, PGN game files, ratings, player names and tournament results that you type or open in a tool are processed in your browser. A PGN file you open is read on your device and is not uploaded. Images, GIFs and printable sheets are made on your device. None of this is sent to us.

Information stored in your browser

Some tools remember a score or a setting on your device using your browser’s local storage: for example the puzzle trainer keeps your best streak, the coordinates and board vision trainers keep your best scores, the PGN cleaner remembers its options, and the tie-break calculator keeps the crosstable you typed so it is still there when you come back. This stays on your device; we do not receive it. You can clear it in your browser’s site-data settings.

Accounts, forms and email

There are no accounts, sign-ups, comment sections or web forms. If you email us, we receive the address and the message you send and use them only to reply and to keep a record of corrections.

Server logs

The web server and the content delivery network that serve the site record standard technical data for each request (IP address, time, page requested, browser name) for security and to keep the site running.

Advertising (applies when advertising is enabled)

The site may show ads served by Google AdSense. When advertising is enabled:

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites.
Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
Google and its partners may use cookies, device identifiers, your IP address and the page address to deliver, limit the frequency of, measure and protect against fraud in ads. See How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and Google’s Privacy Policy.
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, a consent message from a Google-certified consent management platform will ask for your choice before personalised ads or non-essential cookies are used. You can change your choice at any time through the privacy and cookie settings link on the site when it is available. If you do not consent, ads, if shown, are not personalised.
If you are in a US state with a privacy law that gives you the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information or of targeted advertising, a US state privacy message will offer that choice where required.

Ads are always labelled “Advertisement” and are never part of a printable worksheet or placed over a tool. While advertising is not enabled, none of this applies and no advertising cookies are set by the site.

If you are in the EEA or the UK, we process analytics and advertising cookie data on the basis of your consent where the law requires it (cookies and similar technologies), and process email you send us on the basis of our legitimate interest in answering you. You have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to the processing of personal data about you, to withdraw consent at any time, to data portability where it applies, and to complain to your data protection authority (in the UK, the Information Commissioner’s Office). Because we do not hold accounts, we can usually only identify data you have emailed us; cookie data held by Google is managed through the links above.

US state privacy rights (CCPA and similar laws)

Residents of California and some other US states may have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request deletion, to correct it, and to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for targeted advertising. We do not sell personal information in exchange for money. When advertising is enabled, ad cookies may count as “sharing” under some state laws; the US state privacy message and the opt-out links above give you that choice. We do not discriminate against anyone for exercising these rights.

Children

The site is used by young chess players, parents and teachers, but it is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from them. Children and the adults supervising them can use the puzzles, tools and worksheets without giving us any information.

Retention and security

Analytics data is kept according to the retention setting in our Google Analytics property. Email is kept only as long as needed to handle your message. The site is served over HTTPS.

Changes

We will change this page if what the site does changes, for example when advertising is switched on, and update the date below it.
