Terms of Service & Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 20, 2026
Save Your Chess ("we", "us", "the Service") helps you collect, review and understand your own chess games. By creating an account or using the Service you agree to the terms below. Please read them together with the Privacy Policy that follows.
Terms of Service
1. Using the Service
You may use Save Your Chess only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these terms. You are responsible for the activity that happens under your account and for keeping your login details secure. You must be old enough to form a binding agreement in your jurisdiction to create an account.
2. Your content and chess games
The Service lets you import games from third-party platforms (such as Chess.com and Lichess) and add your own notes, lines and annotations. You keep ownership of the content you add. You grant us permission to store and process it solely to operate the Service for you. For example to analyze your games and surface patterns across them. Imported games remain subject to the terms of the platform they came from.
3. Acceptable use
Do not misuse the Service. In particular, do not attempt to disrupt or overload it, access other users' data, reverse-engineer or scrape it at scale, or use it to break the law or the terms of the platforms you import from.
4. Availability and changes
Save Your Chess is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind. It is a personal project offered in good faith; we may change, suspend or discontinue features at any time, and we are not liable for any loss arising from your use of the Service to the fullest extent permitted by law.
5. Termination
You may stop using the Service and request deletion of your account at any time. We may suspend or close accounts that violate these terms.
Privacy Policy
What we collect
- Account details. Your email address and, optionally, a name and password.
- Chess data. The platform handles you provide, the games we import for you, and any notes or annotations you add.
- Usage data. Basic analytics about how the site is used, to help us improve it.
How we use it
We use your information to provide and improve the Service: to log you in, import and store your games, analyze them, and understand which features are useful. We do not sell your personal information.
Third-party services
To run the Service we rely on third parties, including the chess platforms you import from (Chess.com, Lichess), analytics (Google Analytics), and email delivery for login codes and notifications. These providers process data on our behalf according to their own policies.
Using Save Your Chess through an assistant
Save Your Chess can be used from inside an AI assistant such as ChatGPT, through a connector we publish. If you use it that way, a few things are worth knowing.
- You do not need an account. Give the assistant your Chess.com or Lichess username and we fetch your most recent games, analyse them, and ask you to find a better move than one you played. Nothing is saved against you, and your answers are not recorded.
- What reaches us. The username you give, the moves you type, and nothing else. We do not receive your assistant conversation, your name, or your email address unless you ask the assistant to create an account and give it one.
- What reaches the assistant. Whatever we send back: a picture of the position, the games we found for that username, and the verdict on your move. Those games are the public record of play on the platform you named. The assistant's provider handles that conversation under its own privacy policy, not ours.
- If you do create an account, it works exactly as it does on the site: we store the email address you gave, copy the games we fetched into your account, and email you a sign-in code.
- Anyone can look up any username, because the games are already public on Chess.com and Lichess. Practice progress is never shared this way — that needs an account and a sign-in.
