This Privacy Policy applies to the Chessie Endgames mobile application ("App") managed by Chessie Strategic Labs. We are committed to maintaining data integrity and protecting user privacy.
1. Information Collection
Account Data: When an account is initialized, we collect your email address and username via Google or Email Authentication. This is required for cross-device synchronization.
Training Data: We monitor solve rates, rating adjustments, and session statistics to optimize your training methodologies.
Device Metadata: Limited information about your hardware and OS version is gathered to ensure compatibility with our tactical engines.
2. Data Utilization
Collected intelligence is used to:
- Maintain and optimize app infrastructure.
- Personalize tactical puzzle deployment based on your skill level.
- Verify premium status and process procurement.

- Transmit critical system updates or support signals.
3. Third-Party Services
We deploy several strategic third-party assets to enhance the simulation:

- Google Mobile Ads (AdMob): Facilitating the free-to-play model via integrated ad placement.
4. Procurement Protocols
All in-app procurement is processed via the Google Play Store. Payment credentials and device metadata are handled under their sovereign policies. Premium status is cryptographically linked to your store token.
5. User Rights & Data Portability
Under GDPR and CCPA, you have the right to access, correct, or purge your intelligence. You may also request a copy of your tactical data. Contact mission control at chessieendgames@gmail.com.

7. Junior Operators (COPPA)
The app is not authorized for use by operators under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect intelligence from junior operatives. Unauthorized data detection results in an immediate sector purge.
