Privacy
Last updated June 2026
Short version: we don't collect your data. Chessda runs entirely in your browser.
What we collect
Nothing.There are no accounts, no sign-in, no analytics, no advertising, and no third-party trackers. We don't have a server that receives your games, so there's nothing for us to store or see.
Your games stay on your device
PGNs you paste are parsed and analysed locally — Stockfish runs as a WebAssembly worker inside your browser tab. Your moves are never uploaded to us.
Importing from Chess.com / Lichess
When you import games by username, your browser talks directlyto Chess.com's or Lichess's public APIs to fetch your recent games. Those requests go to those services (not to us), and are subject to their own privacy policies. We don't proxy, log, or store any of it.
Local storage
We use your browser's localStorage only to remember your preferences on your own device — your theme (light/dark), board theme, and best-move-hint setting. These never leave your browser, and you can clear them any time via your browser settings.
Cookies
We don't set any cookies.

If this ever changes, we'll update this page. Questions? See About or Terms.
