Privacy

Last updated: November 13, 2026. This policy explains how ChessCheatScan handles your information. Contact: support@chesscheatscan.com.

What we collect

If you create an account, your email address and sign-in details are handled by our sign-in provider (Supabase). The games you submit and the reports made from them. A Chess.com or Lichess username that you enter to look up public games. We send that username to the selected platform to retrieve those games. Saved linked usernames are associated with your account. Whether you have a subscription and its status. A scrambled (hashed) form of your network address, used only to enforce the free weekly limit.

Payments are handled by Stripe. Card details go to Stripe and never reach our servers.

How we use it

To run scans, show you your past scans, enforce the free limit, and manage subscriptions. We do not sell your data or use it for advertising.

Authorized site administrators can view a private activity log of saved scans, including the player names supplied with each game, the submission time, and the scan status, to monitor usage and troubleshoot the service. Deleted scans are excluded from this log.

We use Google Analytics to understand website traffic; it uses cookies and sends visit data to Google.

Cookies and guest scans

You can use the free scan allowance without an account. We store a randomly generated guest identifier in an essential browser cookie for up to seven days and associate it with your scans to track the allowance. Account sign-in also uses browser storage to maintain your session.

Shared scans

Each scan has its own link. Anyone who has the link can view that scan, including the player names in the game. For scans made while signed in, the account that created the scan can delete its report from the scan page. Guest scans do not have an account-based delete button; contact us with the scan link to request removal.

Who else handles data

Supabase (accounts and database), Stripe (payments), and our hosting provider. When you paste a Chess.com or Lichess link, our server fetches that game from the site.

Keeping and deleting

Scans are stored on our servers and do not automatically disappear when the seven-day free allowance resets. Deleting a report removes its result and public access; basic usage records remain to enforce scan limits. To close your account and delete your data, write to support@chesscheatscan.com.
