Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Chess Tournament Manager collects, uses, stores, and protects information submitted through this chess tournament management website.
Information We Collect
When a player registers for a tournament, we may collect player name, email address, phone number, club or school, rating, team name, notes, registration status, email verification status, consent records, and technical information such as IP address and registration timestamps.
How We Use Information
We use the information to process tournament registrations, verify email ownership, contact participants about tournament operations, create pairings, calculate standings, manage approvals, and maintain event records for organizers.
Email Verification
Player registration requires email verification. A verification link is sent to the submitted email address. Registrations that are not verified may remain pending and may not be approved by the organizer.
Data Access
Authorized administrators can view participant information for tournament management purposes. Public pages may display approved participant names, pairings, results, and standings when required for tournament transparency.
Data Retention
Registration and tournament records may be retained for operational, historical, reporting, and dispute-resolution purposes unless deleted by an authorized administrator.
Security
The application uses password hashing, CSRF protection, role-based admin access, and database constraints. No website can guarantee absolute security, so organizers should use strong hosting credentials and HTTPS.
Contact
For privacy questions or deletion requests, contact the tournament organizer or website administrator.
