Legal · Draft for review

Privacy policy

Draft for review before launch. This is the academy's starting text. An editor replaces it under Content → Pages before the site goes live.

What we collect

Names, email addresses, phone numbers, USCF IDs, dates of birth for eligibility, and payment confirmations from Stripe. We never see or store card numbers.

How we use it

To run tournaments and classes, send receipts and tournament-day messages, and, if you opt in, the newsletter. Entries lists show player names and ratings as is standard for rated events.

Children

Accounts are for adults. Players under 13 are registered by a parent or guardian from the parent's account, and their pages are never indexed by search engines.

Email

Every marketing email has a one-click unsubscribe. Receipts and account messages are sent regardless because they are part of the service.

Your data

Email us to export or delete your data. Tournament results that have been submitted to US Chess cannot be withdrawn.
