Thats all listed under the TOS that you read.
Yes its more specific but I still haven’t given my consent nor has any been explicitly sought.
You consented when you joined. And on that note im done with this post. This will end up like nailing one foot to the floor, and walking around in a circle.
@DENVERHIGH Cya! another artless troll that refuses to address the actual content of the thread. I suspect its simply easier for them to make the matter personal, they don't have to think.

Thats wrong on two accounts, I joined in 2012 before the GDPR was brought into effect (the law has changed since then) and since then chess dot com HAS NOT sought consent. It needs to be explicitly sought, not covertly sought under the guise of joining.
chess.com doesn't do many improvements or taking feedback in general. You are destined to get no answers and this thread will be buried with the thousands of other legitimate questions with random spam.

They only need consent if they're actually collecting data. I doubt they're actually collecting anything other than basics like IP information and things you explicitly provide (your comments, messages, etc.).

However, again, if you want an answer to your question, the best option is to contact support directly. Then you can talk to someone who knows exactly what chess.com collects, if anything, and what you can opt in/out of.

That's against GDPR to collect IP addresses.
This has already been explained MGleason, with reference. Furthermore the terms of the service clearly state that,
We may use your Personal Data to contact you with newsletters, marketing or promotional materials and other information that may be of interest to you.
This Usage Data may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol address (e.g. IP address), browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data.
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track the activity on our Service and hold certain information.
Under GDPR personal data includes an online identifier like an IP address.
What constitutes personal data?
The GDPR applies to ‘personal data’ meaning any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier. This definition provides for a wide range of personal identifiers to constitute personal data, including name, identification number, location data or online identifier, reflecting changes in technology and the way organisations collect information about people.

Looks like @Acheron is right, IP addresses are included as personal data under the GDPR.
I told you as much on post 6 but you didn’t read the link

This link appears to cover what you want to know: https://www.chess.com/legal#privacypolicy
And again, for specific details, I'd recommend contacting support.
It doesn’t mention consent at all MGleason, its not us that need to contact chess dot com, its chess dot com that needs to ask us for our consent. Again maybe the have in some email that got spammed. Its possible.
anyway its 1:11AM I need to chill. Thanks MGleason, you're a decent chap
If I go to Yahoo dot com I get the following text message.
