Welcome to Chess Clock, a free offline chess timer app developed by expertsuggestion.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data, including when using AdMob ads for monetization. We prioritize your privacy and are committed to transparency.
1. Information We Collect
- No Personal Data Collected: Chess Clock is an offline app and does not collect, store, or process any personal information (e.g., names, emails, locations) directly from users. It operates locally on your device without requiring internet access for core functionality.
- AdMob Ads: To support the app’s free availability, we use Google AdMob to display interstitial ads (e.g., every 4th reset). AdMob may collect non-personal data, such as device identifiers (e.g., advertising ID), device type, operating system, and app interactions, to deliver targeted ads. We do not control or access this data; it is managed by Google’s Privacy Policy (available at policies.google.com/privacy).
2. How We Use Your Information
- Since Chess Clock is offline and doesn’t collect personal data, we do not use or share any user information for purposes beyond ad delivery by AdMob.
- AdMob uses data to provide personalized ads, improve ad performance, and analyze usage patterns. You can opt out of personalized ads via your device settings (e.g., disabling the Advertising ID on Android).
3. Data Sharing and Disclosure
- We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal data to outside parties, as we do not collect any.
- AdMob, as a third-party ad provider, may share non-personal data with its partners for ad delivery and analytics, as outlined in Google’s Privacy Policy.
4. Data Security
- Chess Clock operates offline, so no data is transmitted or stored online. Your device’s local storage is used only for app functionality (e.g., timer settings), and no sensitive information is accessed or saved.
- We implement reasonable security measures to protect the app’s local operation, but we are not liable for data breaches related to AdMob or third-party services.
5. Children’s Privacy
- Chess Clock is not intended for children under 13. If you believe a child has interacted with our app, please contact us to address it. AdMob adheres to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), and you can set ad preferences for children in device settings.
6. Changes to This Policy
- We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our app or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted here with a revised effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
7. Contact Us

Note: By using Chess Clock, you agree to this Privacy Policy and Google’s AdMob Privacy Policy (policies.google.com/privacy). This app is provided “as is,” and we are not responsible for third-party data practices.
