Privacy Policy
Effective date: March 2026
NextMove (“we”, “us”, “our”) respects your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how cookie choices affect analytics on the site.
Information We Collect
- Account information you provide, including email address and saved chess usernames
- Game data pulled from Chess.com or Lichess when you request an analysis
- Technical information such as IP address, browser details, referrer, and device type
- Cookie and local storage preferences used to keep the site working and remember settings
How We Use Your Data
- To analyze your games and generate improvement insights
- To let you create an account, sign in, save reports, save drills, and manage a subscription
- To provide results pages, dashboards, progress tracking, and support responses
- To improve website performance and features when analytics consent has been granted
Cookies And Similar Storage
NextMove uses a small number of first-party cookies and browser storage items:
- Essential cookies: required for authentication, session security, saved account features, and other core site behavior
- Analytics cookies: optional first-party visitor and visit identifiers used to understand how people arrive, browse, and use the product
- Google Analytics cookies: optional third-party analytics cookies that help us measure traffic and page usage
- Local storage: used for interface preferences such as theme choice and temporary install-banner dismissal
Essential cookies stay enabled because the site depends on them. Analytics cookies and Google Analytics only run after you explicitly accept analytics.
Analytics Choices
If you accept analytics, we may record page views, referral information, campaign tags, and product events such as analysis requests or saved drills. If you reject analytics, NextMove will not set its optional analytics cookies and will not load Google Analytics.
Even when analytics is rejected, we may still record limited aggregate operational counts, such as total page hits or total completed analyses, without storing a persistent visitor identifier, session identifier, referrer trail, or Google Analytics cookie.
Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal data. We may use service providers that help us run the product, including hosting, email delivery, payments, and analytics providers you have consented to.
Data Retention
We retain account data, saved reports, saved drills, and subscription records for as long as needed to provide the service. You can request deletion of your account data by contacting support.
Your Rights
- Request access to the data we hold about you
- Request correction or deletion of account data
- Change your analytics cookie preference at any time using the controls on this page
