Welcome to Typing.is (“we,” “our,” or “us”). We are committed to protecting your personal privacy while providing a high-performance, distraction-free environment for measuring typing speed and improving keyboard accuracy.
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how that information is used, how we protect your personal data, and the rights you hold regarding your personal information in compliance with global privacy regulations, including the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), and standard advertising requirements including the Google AdSense Program Policies.
Your keystroke security is fundamental to our platform:
Depending on how you interact with our website, we may collect the following limited categories of information:
Like most websites, our web hosting servers automatically record standard technical log files when you access Typing.is. This data may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, and date/time stamps. This diagnostic information is strictly used for server health monitoring, security audits, and DDoS mitigation.
We use HTML5 LocalStorage on your machine to save your personal typing settings (such as sound effects enabled/disabled, preferred duration mode, and selected theme). This data is stored locally on your device and is never synchronized to our servers.
If you contact us through our contact form or support email, we collect your name, email address, and message content solely to respond to your request.
To keep Typing.is completely free and accessible to learners worldwide, we may display advertising served by Google AdSense and other third-party ad networks. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to Typing.is and other websites on the Internet:
Cookies are small text files placed on your computer to assist with functionality and advertising delivery. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent:
To learn more about how to manage and remove cookies on your browser, visit your browser’s settings page (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, or Opera) or refer to allaboutcookies.org.
Under the GDPR, you have the right to access, rectify, or erase any personal information we hold about you; the right to data portability; the right to restrict or object to certain processing; and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory data protection authority.
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act, California residents have the right to know what personal categories of data are collected, request deletion of personal information, and opt-out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. Typing.is does not sell your personal data for monetary consideration.
Protecting the privacy of children is especially vital. While Typing.is includes child-friendly educational keyboard games, we do not knowingly collect or solicit any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the EEA). If you believe a child has provided us with personally identifiable information, please contact us immediately so we can promptly delete it.
Our website may contain links to external sites (such as GitHub, educational resources, or advertising partners). We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third-party websites. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect technological, operational, or legal changes. The latest version will always be posted on this page with the updated revision date.
