Privacy policy
Chessplosion can be played without an account. Balane Play is optional and enables leaderboards, friends and correspondence matches. These features send data to our server.
1. Playing without an account
The app stores the current game, manual saves, replays, settings and local progress on your device. The chess AI runs there too. The app may ask balane.app whether a newer version is available. To show a hypothetical rank, a score may be sent to the server once for that calculation; it is not saved as a player result.
2. Balane Play account
You can create a guest account with a display name or use an account with an email address and password. The account also works in other Balane games. When you use it, we store in particular:
- Account ID and display name; email address for a full account
- Game scores and best score for leaderboards
- Friends, requests, a private friend code, reports and blocks
- Invitations, moves, positions and results in correspondence matches
- Acceptance of the terms of use
- A push token if you enable notifications on your device
Session data is also stored on your device so you stay signed in. Local saves and replays are not synced as a cloud backup.
3. What others can see
Your display name and best score can appear on the public leaderboard, and others can search for your name. Players in a correspondence match can see its shared moves and result. Your email address and private friend code do not appear on the public leaderboard.
4. Processing and providers
Balane Play uses Supabase for authentication, database storage and server functions in the Frankfurt region. Accounts, leaderboards, friends and correspondence matches require this processing. The app contains no advertising or analytics SDKs. Local play works without Balane Play.
For access, correction or deletion requests, write to contact@balane.tech. You can also delete your account in the app. This deletes the shared Balane Play account across all games. Remove local saves by deleting the app data or uninstalling the app.
