ChessRivo Privacy Policy
Data we may process
Depending on the feature you use, ChessRivo may process account information such as username, country and rating; gameplay data such as moves, results and tournament participation; Academy and puzzle progress; friend and invitation activity; moderation reports; and technical information needed to operate and secure the service.
Profile photos
A profile photo is optional. If you upload one, ChessRivo processes and stores an optimized copy so it can be displayed publicly on your player profile. Photo metadata is removed before upload by the ChessRivo interface. You can replace or remove your profile photo from your profile settings.
Authentication, preferences and storage
ChessRivo uses necessary session mechanisms and browser storage for sign-in state, language, interface preferences and feature continuity. The core service does not require advertising cookies.
Game analysis and training
Saved games and analysis data may be used to provide Stockfish analysis, opening detection, Personal Coach recommendations, statistics and training features requested by the player.
Public profile personalization
If you choose to add a profile bio, personal status, cosmetic title, theme, preset avatar or profile photo, those details are intended to be visible on your public ChessRivo profile. You control whether optional bio and status fields are filled in and may change or clear them from your profile settings.
Hosting, security and backups
Technical data such as IP address, browser information and request logs may be processed by ChessRivo or its hosting infrastructure for security, abuse prevention and reliability. Account and game information may also appear in temporary operational backups.
Retention and control
Data is retained for as long as needed to provide the service, maintain integrity, handle disputes, protect the platform or meet legal obligations. Retention may differ by data type and backup cycle. Players should avoid sharing sensitive personal information in public profiles or chat.
Policy changes
This policy may be updated as ChessRivo adds features or moves toward commercial launch. Material changes should be reflected on this page with a new update date.
Optional Google Analytics
Analytics loads only after you choose Allow analytics. Rejecting does not prevent registration or play. Use Analytics settings at the bottom of any page to change your choice. We send page and registration-stage measurements, language and fixed error categories, never form values, emails, passwords or tokens. GA4 uses pseudonymous browser identifiers; these measurements are not a complete count of visitors. Technical registration counters are separate, retained for 30 days; internal conversion-deduplication records for new accounts are retained for up to 90 days and are not sent to Google.
