Content you upload

Coaches, academies and students can upload their own material to Chessido, such as PGN files, games, puzzles, studies, documents and images. You are responsible for what you upload. By uploading it, you confirm that you own it or have permission to use it, and that sharing it with your students does not infringe anyone else's rights.

We will review valid complaints promptly and remove or disable access to infringing material, and we may suspend accounts that repeatedly upload infringing material.

Student data

Coaches are responsible for obtaining appropriate consent for adding students to the platform and for complying with applicable student privacy laws (such as COPPA, FERPA, or local equivalents) in their jurisdiction.
