Chess Rocket

For Parents

Children under 13 can use Chess Rocket only with a parent’s permission. Here is what that means, and how to manage your child’s account.

Your Choices

  • Review the account: what we store and what your child has done on Chess Rocket.
  • Set a new password for your child’s account.
  • Take back your permission at any time: the account and its data are deleted right away.
  • Questions, or a request we haven’t covered: email support@chessrocket.io.

What We Collect From a Child Account, and Why

  • Username and password (the password is stored only as a secure one-way hash). We do not ask your child for their email address or real name.
  • Birthday, to know that the account needs your approval and to keep the right features off. It is never shown to anyone.
  • Training progress: lessons, puzzles, boss battles, games against the computer and online games your child plays, with their results and ratings. This is what makes the levels and difficulty work.
  • Chess.com or Lichess usernames, only if your child chooses to link one (to import their public games or play online through Lichess).
  • Your email address, only to ask for and confirm your approval and to send you your parent links.

What Is Turned Off for Children

  • No community, posts, comments, messages, member lists or public profile. Nobody can find or message your child on Chess Rocket.
  • No profile photo, real name, bio or location, and no chat with our Rocket Bot assistant.
  • No ads, no third-party trackers and no usage analytics on your child’s account. We never sell or share your child’s information.
  • No contests, prizes or money: your child can see their own puzzle scores and rankings (username only) but cannot win prizes.
