Draughts.io ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share information when you visit or use our website, web app, and online game services available at draughts.io.
If you create an account, contact us, or use online multiplayer features, we may collect information you choose to provide, such as:
When you use Draughts.io, we may process service-related information such as:
We use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to operate the site and game, remember settings, keep you signed in, measure performance, prevent abuse, and understand how our services are used.
We also use measurement tags and related identifiers or parameters to understand how users find and use the site. Depending on your browser settings and location, these tags may use cookie-based storage or limited measurement signals.
We use analytics and conversion measurement technologies, including services provided by Google such as Google Analytics 4 and Google Ads conversion measurement. These services may collect information such as page views, interactions, landing pages, referrers, campaign parameters, approximate location, browser and device details, and conversion events.
Google may collect and process data in accordance with its own policies. You can learn more here:
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
Draughts.io is the data controller and sender for the optional newsletter. Subscription is not required to create or use an account. The subscription checkbox is off by default, and accepting the Terms of Use does not subscribe you to marketing email.
If you subscribe, we use your email address and may use your username and language to address you and send relevant content. Messages may include draughts.io news, new game modes and updates, tournament information, and special offers. We normally send no more than two newsletter messages per month, although an occasional additional message may be sent for a major tournament or important release.
Local storage: Some settings and identifiers are stored on your device through cookies, browser storage, or similar technologies.
Server-side data: Account data, online game state, ratings, and service logs may be stored on our servers or infrastructure providers in order to operate the service.
Security: We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
We do not sell your personal information in the ordinary course of operating the site. We may share information with third parties only as needed to run, analyze, and secure the service.
These third parties may include:
Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your information, including:
Withdrawing newsletter consent is free and does not affect your account or any processing that took place before withdrawal. To access, correct, delete, or change newsletter data, contact support@draughts.io. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority, including the CNIL in France.
If you are located in the EEA, the UK, Switzerland, or another jurisdiction with consent requirements, we may ask for your consent to use cookies and personal data for analytics and conversion measurement.
Where required, analytics or conversion measurement storage may remain restricted until you make a choice. If consent is denied, certain analytics or conversion measurement features may be limited or disabled. Where permitted by applicable law and our configuration, limited cookieless measurement signals may still be processed to measure traffic, model conversions, and detect invalid traffic.
Kit is based in the United States, so subscriber data may be processed in the United States or other countries outside the EEA. Where required, these transfers are covered by an approved transfer mechanism, such as the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. More information is available in Kit’s Privacy Policy and Data Processing Addendum.
Draughts.io is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will review the request.
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, maintain accounts, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and protect the site from abuse. Retention periods vary depending on the type of data and the purpose for which it was collected.
Newsletter contact data is kept while you remain subscribed. We review inactive newsletter records after three years without meaningful contact. Consent evidence is kept for as long as reasonably necessary to demonstrate compliance. After you unsubscribe, we stop campaigns and retain only the minimum suppression record (normally the email address and unsubscribe date) for at least three years so the address is not added again by mistake.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated version on this page and revise the "Last updated" date.
