Privacy Policy
Effective October 1, 2026
Tabiya is made by Tabiya. We collect as little as we can, and we never sell your information.
What we collect, and why
- Your name and email, if you join our list. These are stored with MailerLite and used only for the handful of emails we promised: confirmation, reminders and your purchase link. You can unsubscribe from any of them.
- Purchase details. Stripe (through Link) processes your payment as merchant of record. We receive your name, email, country and what you bought. We never see or store your card number.
- License information. When you buy, we create a license key tied to your email. When Tabiya checks your license or downloads an update, it sends your license key, an anonymous identifier for your computer (so we can count activations), and the Tabiya version. Our servers also see your IP address as part of any internet connection.
- Support emails. If you write to us, we keep the conversation so we can help you.
What stays on your computer
Your games, notes, analysis and engine settings stay on your own computer. When you import games from Chess.com or Lichess, Tabiya connects to those sites directly using the username you give it, and those games are saved locally. We don't receive them.
Who else handles your data
- Stripe / Link: payments, receipts and subscription management
- MailerLite: the email list
- Cloudflare: hosting this website, the license service and file downloads
- [email service for license-key emails, once chosen]
Each handles data under its own privacy policy, only to provide its service to us.
How long we keep it
We keep purchase and license records for as long as your license exists, and longer if tax or accounting law requires it. You can ask us to delete your list signup at any time.
Your choices
You can ask to see, correct or delete the information we hold about you by emailing us. Deleting purchase records will deactivate your license, because we can no longer verify it.
