Privacy Policy
Chess Potential understands the importance of your personal privacy. Therefore, we have
created this Privacy Policy so that you know how we use and disclose your information when
you make it available to us. The Privacy Policy below discloses our practices regarding
information collection and usage website located at chesspotential.com, the related mobile
website, (collectively, the “Websites”) and the service provided
thereon (the “Service”).
By using or accessing the Websites and the Service, you signify your agreement to be bound by
this Privacy Policy. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY YOU MAY NOT
ACCESS OR OTHERWISE USE OUR SERVICE OR PARTICIPA--TE IN OUR SERVICES.
Key aspects of our privacy practices described in this Privacy Policy include the following
explanations:
• The information we collect and why we collect it;
• How we use that information;
• How we share information; and
• The choices we offer.
Personally Identifiable Information That We Collect:
We may ask you for, or you may voluntarily submit, personally identifiable information when you
are using the Service. The personally identifiable information which you may provide to us could
include, but is not limited to:
· Your name
· Your contact information (including, without limitation, address and email address);
· Your IP address; and
· Other personal information.
Non-Personal Or Aggregate Information That We Collect:
When you access our Service, we may automatically collect non-personally identifiable
information from you, such as IP host address, web pages viewed, browser type, operating
system, referring service, search information, device type, page views, usage and browsing
habits on the Service and similar data. We may also aggregate demographic information
collected from our users (such as the number of users in a particular geographical location) in a
manner which does not identify any one individual. We may also aggregate information
collected offline in connection with the Service, obtain non-personally identifiable information
from third party sources and develop aggregate information by anonymizing previously collected
personally identifiable information.
It is possible at times when collecting non-personally identifiable information through automatic
means that we may unintentionally collect or receive personally identifiable information that is
mixed in with the non-personally identifiable information. While we will make reasonable efforts
to prevent such incidental data collection, the possibility still exists. If you believe that we have
inadvertently collected your personal information, please notify us at support@chesspotential.com.
Information Usage:
We will only use your personally identifiable information as described below, unless you have
specifically consented to another type of use, either at the time the personally identifiable
information is collected from you or through some other form of consent from you or notification
to you:
·We may share your personally identifiable information collected in connection with providing
the Service.
·We may use your personally identifiable information to respond to your inquires or requests.
·We may use your personally identifiable information to send you emails from time to time
about our services, but we will not provide your personally identifiable information to third parties
for them to contact you directly unless otherwise permitted by this Privacy Policy or you provide
your consent.
·We may share your personally identifiable information with third parties (collectively, the “Third
Party Vendors”) to further the purpose for which you provided such information to us. For
example, we may share your information with Elastic Email, for the purpose of sending emails.
·We may disclose personally identifiable information as required by law or legal process.
·We may disclose personally identifiable information to investigate suspected fraud, harassment
or other violations of any law, rule or regulation, or the terms or policies for our services or our

permitted by law and may be shared with any number of parties, provided that such information
shall not specifically identify you.
Cookies and Similar Technologies:
“Cookies” are pieces of information that may be placed on your computer by a service for the
purpose of facilitating and enhancing your communication and interaction with that service.
Many services use cookies for these purposes. We may use cookies (and similar items such as
clear gifs, web beacons, tags, etc.) on our Service to customize your visit and for other
purposes to make your visit more convenient or to enable us to enhance our Service. We may
also use and place cookies (and similar items) on your computer from our third party service
providers in connection with the Service, such as an analytics provider that helps us manage
and analyze Service usage, as described more fully below. In addition, our advertisers and
business partners may set cookies and similar items on your computer when you use our
Service. You may stop or restrict the placement of cookies on your computer or flush them from
your browser by adjusting your web browser preferences, in which case you may still use our
Service, but it may interfere with some of its functionality. Cookies and similar items are not
used by us to automatically retrieve personally identifiable information from your computer
without your knowledge.
If you delete your cookies, change browsers or use a different cookie, our cookie (or an opt-out
cookie) may no longer work and you will have to reinput (or opt-out) again.
Analytics and Conversion Tracking:
We may use analytics services that use cookies, javascript and similar technologies to help us
analyze how users use the Service. The information generated by these services about your
use of the Service (including your IP address or a truncated version of your IP address) is
transmitted to and stored by analytics service providers on their servers. Those service
providers will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your, and other users’, use of
the Service, compiling reports for us on website activity and providing other services relating to
website activity and Internet usage.
We may collect information about your computer, including your IP address, operating system
and browser type, for system administration and in order to create reports. This is statistical
data about our users’ browsing actions and patterns, and does not identify any individual.
For example, we use cookies on our site for Google Analytics (the “Analytics Service”). The
Analytics Service is a web-based analytics tool that helps website owners understand how
visitors engage with their website. The Analytics Service customers can view a variety of reports
about how visitors interact with their website so that they can improve it.
Like many services, the Analytics Service uses first-party cookies to track visitor interactions as
in our case, where they are used to collect information about how visitors use our site. We then
use the information to compile reports and to help us improve our site.
Cookies contain information that is transferred to your computer’s hard drive. These cookies are
used to store information, such as the time that the current visit occurred, whether the visitor
has been to the site before and what site referred the visitor to the web page.
The Analytics Service collects information anonymously. They report website trends without
identifying individual visitors. You can opt out of the Analytics Service without affecting how you
visit our site. For more information on opting out of being tracked by Google Analytics across all
websites you use, visit https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
We may also use Google conversion tracking and/or similar services to help us understand your
and other users’ use of the Service.
Automatically Collected Information:
When you access the Service or open one of our HTML emails, we may automatically record
certain information from your system by using cookies and other types of tracking technologies.
This "automatically collected" information may include Internet Protocol address ("IP Address"),
a unique user ID, device type, device identifiers, browser types and language, referring and exit
pages, platform type, version of software installed, system type, the content and pages that you
access on the Service, the number of clicks, the amount of time spent on pages, the dates and
times that you visit the Service, and other similar information. Depending on the law of your
country of residence, your IP address may legally be considered personally identifiable
information.
Security:
The security of your personally identifiable information is very important to us. When we collect
your personally identifiable information online, we use reasonable efforts to protect it from
unauthorized access. However, due to the inherent open nature of the Internet, we cannot
guarantee that your personally identifiable information will be completely free from unauthorized
access by third parties such as hackers and your use of our Service demonstrates your
assumption of this risk. We have put in place reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial
procedures to safeguard the information we collect. Only those employees who need access to
your information in order to perform their duties are authorized to have access to your
personally identifiable information. For more information on protecting your privacy, please visit
www.ftc.gov/privacy.
Your Disclosures In Blogs And Other Social Media:
You should be aware that personally identifiable information which you voluntarily include and
transmit online on the Service or in a publicly accessible blog, chat room, social media platform
or otherwise online, or that you share in an open forum such as an in-person panel or survey,
may be viewed and used by others without any restrictions. We are unable to control such uses
of your personally identifiable information, and by using the Service or any other online services
you assume the risk that the personally identifiable information provided by you may be viewed
and used by third parties for any number of purposes.
If you login to the Websites and/or Service through your Facebook account, connect to a third
party service such as Facebook or Twitter through an icon or link on the Service or otherwise
link your Chess Potential account with a third party service, we may share the contents of your
post and associated information (such as your user name, the fact that your connection
originated from the Service, and other relevant usage and diagnostic information) with such third
party. With your one-time consent, we may also send information about the content you watch
and your activities on the Service to such third parties. Once such information is shared, the use
of your information will be subject to that service's privacy policy and this Privacy Policy will not
apply.
Protection for Children:
We generally do not collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13.
If at any time in the future we plan to collect personally identifiable information from children
under 13, such collection and use, to the extent applicable, shall, when required, be done in
compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and appropriate
consent from the child’s parent or guardian will be sought where required by COPPA. When we
become aware that personally identifiable information from a child under 13 has been collected
without such child’s parent or guardian’s consent, we will use all reasonable efforts to delete
such information from our database.
In order to perform services such as lessons, we may collect children's information such as their names, chess level, etc. However, this information is only collected after parents/ guardians agree to let their children receive lessons which by default allows us to have only the necessary information to perform such services.
Other Services:
As a convenience to you, we may provide links to third-party Services from within our Service.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third-party sites. When you
link away from our Service, you do so at your own risk.
Changes to this Privacy Policy:
We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions from this
Privacy Policy at any time. However, if at any time in the future we plan to use personally
identifiable information in a way that materially differs from this Privacy Policy, including sharing
such information with more third parties, we will post such changes here and provide you the
opportunity to opt-out of such differing uses. Your continued use of the Service and our
services following the posting of any changes to this Privacy Policy means you accept such
changes.
Opt-Out Process:
All unsubscribe or opt-out requests may be made by clicking the “unsubscribe” link at the
bottom of the relevant email. We will process your request within a reasonable time after
receipt. However, we are not responsible for, and in some cases we are incapable of, removing
your personally identifiable information from the lists of any third party who has previously been
provided your information in accordance with this Privacy Policy or your consent. You should

identifiable information that you have provided to us, please email us at Chess Potential and once
we confirm your information, we will update such information within a reasonable amount of
time.
