How We Collect, Use, Store, and Share the Data

The app uses authentication to provide services to you. The authentication provider is Firebase. Depending on the authentication method you choose we collect:

  • your email address except when you sign in with Apple with an anonymized email
  • your name if you choose to sign in with Google and have a name associated with your Google account
  • your name if you choose to sign in with Apple and decide to share your name

Besides that, Firebase creates a unique identifier for your account.

Photos

When you use the Scan functionality in our App, a photo taken or selected by you is sent to our servers for analysis purposes. The photos are sent using Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) that is used for secure communication over a computer network. The servers analyze the photo and respond with the recognized chess position, if any, in the FEN format. We do not store and do not share photos. We may store the FEN describing the chess position recognized in the photo.

Diagram Library

The app lets you save diagrams to your personal library. In order to provide this functionality, the diagrams you decided to save are stored in the FEN format, along with basic metadata, including the name of the diagram, creation time, last opened time)
