Data protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and according to the legal data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy.

The use of our website is not possible without providing personal data. This is the name and email address used to identify a player. As far as further personal data is collected on our website, e.g. rating figures, dates of birth etc), this is always done on a voluntary basis, as far as possible. No personal data will be passed on to third parties without your express consent.

We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Social plugins, tracking tools, advertising tools etc

No social plugins are used. Furthermore, no tracking tools or advertising functionalities of other providers are used. Therefore no cookies can be set by these services via the Lechenicher SchachServer.

Tournament results can be published in social media, but your name will only be mentioned with your consent.

Cookies

The Internet pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, more effective and safer. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer by your browser.

We are using mainly so-called "session cookies". They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit. For example, the previously selected language is recognized and used. No third party cookies are stored through the Lechenicher SchachServer.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website will be limited.

Server-Log-Files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

• Browsername and -version
• the Operating System
• Referring Site (only inside Lechenicher SchachServer)
• Hostname and IP Address
• Time of the Server Request

These data cannot be assigned to specific persons. A consolidation of this data with other data sources is not made. We reserve the right to subsequently check this data if we have concrete indications of illegal or abusive use (e.g. use of multiple player accounts).

Information, deletion, blocking

Within the framework of the statutory provisions, in particular the European basic data protection regulation (EU-GDSR), you have the following rights: You have the right to receive information free of charge at any time about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to correct, block or delete this data. You also have the right to restrict processing and a right to object to processing and a right to data transferability. You can revoke your consent to data processing at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation. You also have a right of appeal to a supervisory authority.

If you are registered as a user, we also offer you the opportunity to view your data yourself and, if necessary, to delete or change it, in addition to various functions within our website. If, despite our efforts to ensure that data is correct and up-to-date, you should see incorrectly stored information, we will correct it at your request.

When examining an application for the deletion of personal data within the framework of the statutory provisions, we also take into account aspects that may prevent deletion. These include, in particular, mandatory requirements for the operation of the website and its individual functions, the display of crosstables and gamescores and matters that are essential for the pursuit of the Lechenicher SchachServers purpose.

Our websites may contain links to websites of other natural or legal persons to whom this data protection information does not extend.
