IMSC data protection
This page explains how Inter Mezzo Sporting Club handles personal information for Lega Inter Mezzo pre-season sign-ups, waitlist requests, Chess.com Club verification, eligibility checks, fixtures, results and public league pages.
Before full public launch, IMSC should add its preferred contact email address here so players know exactly where to send data access, correction or deletion requests.
Inter Mezzo Sporting Club controls the league sign-up, waitlist, verification and admin records used for Lega Inter Mezzo. The website remains the source of truth for official sign-ups, rules, fixtures, standings, results and eligibility decisions.
Chess.com is a separate platform. IMSC uses public Chess.com data for account and club-membership checks, but does not ask for Chess.com passwords and does not access private Chess.com account data.
| Data | Why it is used | Public? |
|---|---|---|
| Name or display name | Admin reference, support and registration handling. | No. |
| Email address | Registration, waitlist, status recovery and direct admin contact where needed. | No. |
| Chess.com username | Account verification, eligibility checks, fixtures, results and public league identity. | Yes. Public pages use Chess.com usernames only. |
| Country / federation, if supplied | Optional league context and possible future representative/federation features. | May be shown publicly if supplied. |
| Chess.com public account data | Eligibility, activity, status, rapid stats, public game checks and club verification. | Only derived public league information is shown. |
| Admin notes, audit logs and review decisions | League administration, fair-play, eligibility and dispute handling. | No. |
| Waitlist messages | Understanding interest in future intake and contacting players about places. | No. |
Public IMSC pages are designed to show Chess.com usernames only for players. Real names, email addresses, private admin notes, internal review reasons and audit logs are not displayed publicly.
Public fixtures, results, standings and verified pre-season rosters may show Chess.com username, country/federation if supplied, league division, fixture/result information and verification status.
Players are asked to join the official Inter Mezzo SC Chess.com Club using the same Chess.com username they submit on the website. IMSC checks public Chess.com club data to confirm whether that username appears in the club. Verification may not be instant because Chess.com public data can take time to update.
IMSC may also manually review or approve entries where there is a clear admin reason. Manual approval is tracked separately from Chess.com API club verification.
IMSC does not sell player data. Data may be processed through the website hosting environment, admin tools, backup files and public Chess.com API checks needed to operate the league. Public pages expose only the limited public league data described above.
Admin backups may include registration, waitlist, fixture, result, audit and season data. These backups are private admin records and should be stored securely.
IMSC keeps registration, verification, fixture, result and season records for as long as they are needed to operate the league, maintain season history, handle disputes, preserve audit trails and support future seasons. Test data can be removed before launch using the admin reset workflow.
Waitlist entries may be kept until they are converted, archived, rejected or no longer needed for future intake planning.
Players can ask IMSC to correct inaccurate registration details, review a sign-up status, remove a waitlist entry, or consider deletion of personal data where deletion does not conflict with league integrity, historical records, active fixtures, results, dispute handling or audit requirements.
IMSC should handle privacy requests through the official contact route published on the website.
