Our Commitment to Privacy
At Game Wings Support, we prioritize the privacy and security of your data. The Chess Tournament Manager application is designed with a strong focus on offline functionality and local data ownership.
1. Data Collection & Storage
- No User Account Required: You do not need to create an account, provide an email address, or log in to use the application.
- Local Storage: All tournament data, player profiles, pairings, and settings are stored locally on your device.
- No Cloud Synchronization: In Version 1.0.1, there is no automatic cloud synchronization or backup to remote servers. Your data stays entirely on your device.
- Exported Files: Any PDF reports or backup files you generate remain strictly under your control. You choose when and how to share them.
2. Analytics and Tracking
- Log Data and Analytics: Whenever you use our Service, in a case of an error in the app, we collect data and information (through third-party products) on your phone called Log Data. This Log Data may include information such as your device Internet Protocol ("IP") address, device name, operating system version, the configuration of the app when utilizing our Service, the time and date of your use of the Service, and other statistics.
3. Advertisements
- Third-Party Services and Advertising: Our app uses third-party services that may collect information used to identify you. Specifically, we use Google AdMob to display advertisements within the app. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies and device identifiers (such as the Android Advertising ID) to serve ads based on your past visits to this app or other websites.
