Privacy policy

What is saved on your watch?

Wear Chess saves game progress, moves, clocks, Elo and match statistics, daily challenge progress and hints, and your preferences such as difficulty, piece colour, sound, haptics and cinematics. These records are kept in the app's private storage so you can continue playing.

This saved game information is not sent to the developer or to advertisers. Stockfish, the chess engine included with the app, runs on your device.

Device permissions

The app can check whether your device has a network connection and can use vibration for game feedback. It does not request access to your location, contacts, camera, microphone or health information.

Keeping and deleting data

Saved progress and preferences remain on your device until you clear the app's storage or uninstall it. Wear Chess disables app cloud backup and device-transfer backup for this saved data. There is no Wear Chess account or developer-held game profile to delete.

You can switch sound, haptics and cinematics off in the app. To remove saved data, use your device's app settings to clear Wear Chess storage, or uninstall Wear Chess.

If you contact us

If you email admin@aceit-ai.co.za, your email address and anything you choose to send will be used to respond to your question or support request. Please do not send sensitive information unless it is necessary for your request.

Support correspondence is kept only as needed to deal with the request and meet applicable legal obligations. You may ask us to delete it by contacting the same address, subject to those obligations.

Children's privacy

The app's data practices are the same for all players: it does not ask for personal information or create accounts. If you have a concern about a child's information in a support message, please contact us.

This page and other services

This privacy page contains no analytics, cookies, remote fonts or tracking scripts. If you view it on a website, the hosting provider may process ordinary web request information, such as an IP address, to deliver and secure the page.

Google Play, your device platform and any external services you choose to visit have their own privacy policies. Their data practices are separate from Wear Chess.

Changes and questions

If the app's data practices change, this policy will be updated with a new effective date.
