Chess Friends: Chess for Kids
Android package: app.bebek.chessfriends · Browser version: bebek.app/oyna/satranc-dostlari/ · Developer: Bebek App (bebek.app)
Information we collect
None. The Android app does not connect to the internet (it has no internet permission) and does not send data to any server. The app does not request any device permissions (location, camera, microphone, contacts, storage, etc.); the microphone is never used and nothing is recorded. The computer friends' moves are calculated entirely on the device.
Read-aloud explanations
Lesson explanations and short game messages are read aloud by the text-to-speech (TTS) engine that is already installed on your phone as part of its system. The app only passes fixed sentences from inside the app to this engine (such as "The chick walks one square forward" or "Your turn!"); no personal information is passed. The app only selects voices that are installed on the device and work without an internet connection. Reading aloud can be switched off completely in the parent area.
Information stored on the device
Beaten computer friends, finished lessons, solved puzzles, collected stickers, simple play counters (how many games were played and won) and the music, sound, read-aloud, danger-hint, language and play-time settings are stored only on your device. This is not personal information and is never sent to the developer or anyone else. It is deleted when the app is uninstalled. If Android backup is enabled on your device, Android may include this information in the backup stored in your own Google account; the developer has no access to that backup.
Browser version
The browser version at bebek.app/oyna/satranc-dostlari/ follows the same rules as the Android app. On first opening, the game downloads its own files (pictures, fonts, game code) only from the bebek.app server; after that it sends no data to any server. No cookies are used. The progress and settings listed above are kept in your browser's local storage (localStorage), only on that device and in that browser, and are deleted when you clear the browser's data. In the browser, reading aloud only uses voices installed on your device; online voices are never used, and if no suitable voice is available the explanations are only shown as text. For the technical server logs kept by our hosting provider, see our website privacy policy.
