 Effective Date: October 16, 2025

App Name: Buddhichal.com 

1. Introduction

Welcome to Buddhichal Chess. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how Buddhichal Chess collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use our mobile application.

By using the Buddhichal Chess app, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.

2. Information We Collect

The information we collect depends on how you use the app.

A. Tournament Information

Buddhichal Chess provides information about chess tournaments, including tournament listings, schedules, results, announcements, and related news.

You can browse publicly available tournament information without providing personal information, unless a particular feature requires it.

B. Chess News and Nepal Champions

The app provides chess-related news, tournament updates, and information about Nepal's chess champions.

This information may include publicly available chess achievements, tournament results, player names, ratings, photographs, and other chess-related details.

C. Chess Product Orders

The app allows users to inquire about or order chess products by submitting forms.

Depending on the form, we may collect information such as:

• Name

• Phone number

• Email address, if requested

• Delivery address, if required

• Product selection and quantity

• Additional information voluntarily provided by the user

We use this information to respond to inquiries, process product orders, communicate with customers, and arrange delivery when applicable.

Buddhichal Chess does not currently provide integrated in-app payment processing. Submitting a product order form does not itself process a payment through the app. Any payment arrangements made separately will be handled through the relevant payment method or service.

3. How We Use Your Information

We may use collected information to:

• Display chess tournament listings, schedules, results, and updates.

• Publish chess news and information about Nepal's chess champions.

• Respond to product inquiries and manage product orders.

• Contact users regarding orders, delivery, or customer support.

• Maintain, improve, and troubleshoot the application.

• Protect the app against fraud, misuse, and unauthorized activity.

• Comply with applicable legal requirements.

We do not sell users' personal information to third parties.

4. Sharing of Information

We do not sell or rent personal information to third parties.

We may share relevant information when necessary with:

• Delivery or logistics providers to fulfill product orders.

• Service providers that help operate, maintain, or support the app.

• Relevant authorities when required by applicable law.

Information may also be disclosed when necessary to protect our rights, users, or the security of the application.

Any information submitted through third-party services or external websites may also be subject to their respective privacy policies.

5. Data Storage and Security

We take reasonable measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

Information submitted through product forms may be stored or processed using the systems or services that support those forms.

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, comply with legal obligations, and resolve relevant disputes.

6. Data Retention and Deletion

Users may request the deletion of personal information they have submitted through product inquiry or order forms.

To request access to, correction of, or deletion of your information, please contact us using the contact details provided below.

Some information may need to be retained where required by law or for legitimate business purposes, such as resolving an order-related dispute.

7. Children's Privacy

Buddhichal Chess provides chess-related information that may be useful to users of different ages, including children.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children beyond what is necessary for the relevant service and permitted by applicable law. Where required, a parent or legal guardian should provide consent before a child submits personal information.

If you believe a child has provided personal information inappropriately, please contact us so that we can review the matter and take appropriate action.

8. Third-Party Services and External Links

The app may use third-party services or display links to external websites for news, product information, communications, or other features.

These third-party services may collect information according to their own privacy policies. We encourage users to review the privacy policies of any external services they access.

This Privacy Policy applies to the Buddhichal Chess application and does not govern independent third-party websites or services.

9. Permissions and Device Information

The app may request device permissions when required for a particular feature.

Any personal information or device information collected through these features will be handled in accordance with the app's actual functionality and applicable privacy requirements.

We do not claim to collect location data, contacts, camera data, or other sensitive device information unless such collection is implemented and disclosed.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the app, its features, our data practices, or applicable legal requirements.

Any updated version will be published on this page with a revised effective date. Users are encouraged to review this page periodically.
