Thank you for visiting our website. At queenstaropen.com, we understand that privacy is important to our visitors. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and disclose personal information on our website.
Our website address is: https://queenstaropen.com
When you register for our chess tournament, we collect personal information such as your name, age, email address, phone number, and chess rating. We collect this information using a Google Form, which helps us organize and manage the tournament. Additionally, we use chess-results.com, a third-party service that collects and analyzes tournament results, to pair players for games.
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
We use cookies to personalize content and ads, to provide social media features, and to analyze our website traffic. We also share information about your use of our site with our social media, advertising, and analytics partners who may combine it with other information that you’ve provided to them or that they’ve collected from your use of their services.
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
We do not share your personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes without your consent.
However, we may share your personal information with third-party service providers, such as Google and chess-results.com, to help us operate and manage our tournament. We may also share your personal information with law enforcement agencies or government authorities if required by law or if we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, property, or safety.
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons.
If you have any questions or concerns about our privacy policy or our use of your personal information, please contact us at [Contact Email Address].
