Ethical, Legal, and Security Considerations

Ethical Issues:

Our app protects the user’s privacy because it does not collect personal information. All data related to the game is stored locally on the user's phone. The app does not require access to other applications or records from the user’s device and operates fully offline, ensuring that no external servers or third parties handle any data.

Legal Issues:

For our application, no legal issues are anticipated. We have ensured that all third-party software and libraries, such as Python-Chess and any associated APIs, are used in compliance with their respective licenses. No intellectual property constraints are imposed by any client or data owner. All of our information and sources will be utilized by open source properties, allowing our right to use them. Our application will not allow for the abuse of other users, and will eliminate any possibility to do so. Furthermore, the app does not provide any functionality that could be exploited for unlawful activities, such as posting copyrighted material, stealing information, or violating user privacy. All necessary measures have been taken to maintain legal compliance and ethical usage.

Security Issues:

Our app will not keep any user information in the database or memory. This will lead to attackers having no reason to breach our system as there is no information to steal. Our app is solely for the enjoyment of chess; therefore, any attackers looking to breach into our software would likely be stealing basic chess knowledge.
