Omarchy Chess Version 1 is an offline, local-first application.
The plugin does not collect or transmit telemetry, analytics, account data, device fingerprints, advertising identifiers, or usage events.
Version 1 makes no gameplay network requests and has no hosted backend.
Git-based plugin installation and updates are performed by the user through Omarchy/GitHub, not by hidden plugin telemetry.
The plugin stores:
- Settings
- Active game
- Completed game history
- PGN files
- Recovery files
- Local diagnostics
Default location:
$XDG_STATE_HOME/omarchy-chess/
Fallback:
~/.local/state/omarchy-chess/
Local player names and computer labels may appear in local game records and PGN exports. They are not transmitted by the plugin.
Default diagnostics exclude private PGN, FEN, names, clipboard content, and unrelated environment data. A user may explicitly choose to share sanitized game information when reporting a bug.
The plugin writes PGN to the clipboard only after an explicit user action. Saving a PGN writes to a user-selected destination.
Removing the plugin does not delete game history automatically. This protects against accidental data loss.
To delete all data:
rm -rf "${XDG_STATE_HOME:-$HOME/.local/state}/omarchy-chess"Any future online correspondence feature requires a new privacy/security design and updated statement. It is not part of V1.
