Privacy Policy

Last updated · July 24, 2026

Overview

This Privacy Policy explains what information PVPChess collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to the website, app, and related services.

Information we collect

Account data: email address, username, authentication identifiers, linked wallet address, ELO, game history, and support communications.

Gameplay data: moves, clocks, game results, stake amounts, payout records, and anti-cheat analysis signals generated during and after games.

Technical data: device and browser information, IP address, logs, and cookies used to keep you signed in and secure the platform.

How we use information

We use your information to operate matchmaking, hold stakes in escrow, settle payouts, display leaderboards, enforce fair-play rules, and respond to support requests.

We may use aggregated or de-identified data to improve the product, monitor reliability, and understand platform usage.

Sharing & processors

We use service providers for authentication, database hosting, analytics, and Solana transaction infrastructure. They process data only to perform services on our behalf.

We may disclose information when required by law, to protect users and the platform, or to investigate fraud and abuse.

We do not sell your personal information.

Retention & security

We retain account and game records while your account is active and as needed for legal, financial, and anti-abuse obligations.

We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data, but no system is completely secure.

Your choices

You may update profile details in the app and contact support to request account deletion, subject to records we must keep for compliance or dispute resolution.

You can disconnect your wallet, but settled financial records may remain on-chain and in our ledger.
