Delete your data
This page covers the app Fleet Chess
(German title Flottenschach, package
com.fleetchess.app) and the web app at
app.fleetchess.com. The provider named in the
imprint is the controller.
You do not need to ask anyone. Deletion is built into the app and takes effect immediately — there are no accounts, so there is no waiting period and no need to prove who owns what.
1. Delete inside the app — two steps
- Open Fleet Chess and tap Settings on the start screen.
- Choose All my data at the bottom and confirm the prompt.
That is it: the profile on your device is gone, and — as long as an online session exists — everything on the server with it.
Mind the order: delete first, uninstall afterwards. Uninstalling alone only removes the local data; the anonymous identifier and any feedback would stay on the server and could no longer be matched to anyone without a session.
2. Without the app: request deletion
If you have already removed the app, write to info@fleetchess.com with the subject “Data deletion”.
One caveat we cannot avoid: because there are no accounts, we know neither your name nor your address. We can only match a request if you include your anonymous identifier — you will find it in the game’s settings. Without it, matching is technically impossible (Art. 11 GDPR). The good news: game data expires on its own within 24 hours anyway.
3. What gets deleted — and what expires by itself
| Data | With “All my data” | Without you doing anything |
|---|---|---|
| Anonymous identifier of the online session | deleted immediately | stays until deleted |
| Games, fleets, shots, reactions | deleted immediately | automatically: open lobby and finished game after 1 hour, interrupted game after 24 hours |
| Feedback sent from the game (title and text) | deleted immediately | automatically after 24 months at the latest |
| Profile on your device: nickname, avatar, progress, settings | removed immediately | stays until the app is uninstalled or browser storage is cleared |
| Technical logs of the hosting provider (IP address, timestamp, requested address and similar) | not affected | kept only as long as required for secure operation and attack defence, then deleted or anonymised |
Never collected in the first place: location data, contacts, device or advertising identifiers, photos, files, payment data and crash reports. Games against the computer and two players on one device send nothing to any server at all.
4. Why the logs may stay
The hosting provider’s log data is created whenever any web page is requested and serves secure, stable operation and the defence against attacks (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). It cannot be linked to a game session and is deleted or anonymised once it is no longer needed for those purposes. See the privacy policy, section 10.
5. Your other rights
Access, rectification, restriction, data portability and objection apply independently of deletion; the privacy policy lists them in section 14, and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in section 15.
