Last updated: 2026-03-26

Your privacy & data

  • Images are processed on your device. We never upload or store your images on our servers.
  • We collect anonymous usage analytics (via PostHog) to improve the app. This data is never tied to your identity.
  • In-app purchases are processed by Apple or Google. We never see or store your payment information.
  • We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties.

Your scans & positions

  • Board positions detected by the AI are yours. You can export them as FEN or PGN at any time.
  • Uploaded scan images are stored on AWS S3 and retained for as long as your account exists to help improve our recognition models. Temporary processing data is automatically deleted within 24 hours.
  • We may use anonymised scan data to improve our AI models. We will never share your images with third parties.

Purchases & billing

  • The free plan gives you 2 scans. Each slot recharges 24 hours after it was used. No account or credit card required.
  • GM mode is a one-time in-app purchase processed by your app store. No subscription, no recurring charges.
  • We reserve the right to adjust pricing with reasonable notice.

Account & data deletion

  • You may request permanent deletion of your account data at any time from the Profile tab in the mobile app.
  • Deletion is immediate and irreversible — there is no grace period or recovery option.
  • Deleting your account removes all your saved scan history and uploaded scan images from our servers.
  • Temporary processing data in the cloud is automatically deleted within 24 hours regardless.
  • Your GM mode purchase is tied to your App Store or Google Play account and is not affected by account deletion.

Changes to this policy

We may update this page from time to time. If we make significant changes, we'll notify you within the app.
