Privacy Policy

The short version

The typing test works without an account and without storing anything about you. If you create an account we keep your email address, your typing results and the badges you unlocked, because that is what makes your progress curve and your leaderboard row work. We do not sell your data and we do not run third-party advertising trackers.

What we store

• Account data — email address, display name, full name, country, avatar image and a hashed password (we never store the password itself).
• Typing results — for every finished run: words per minute, accuracy, error count, elapsed time, run length and the timestamp. These power your progress curve, your personal bests and the leaderboards.
• Account activity — experience points, rating, contests joined, battles played and which badges you unlocked.
• Session data — short-lived authentication cookies and tokens, kept so you stay signed in.
• Your own texts — if you paste a custom text to practise with, it is kept in your own browser (local storage) and is never sent to us.

Why we store it

• To show your speed, accuracy, curve and streak after every run.
• To place you on the leaderboards and to settle contests and battles.
• To unlock badges and grant experience as you improve.
• To keep your account secure and to answer support requests.

Who else sees it

Nobody sells your data. A small number of service providers process it on our behalf: the email provider that delivers one-time codes and password resets, the image host that stores avatars, and the infrastructure host that runs the API. Each of them receives only what it needs to do its job.

How long we keep it

Your typing results stay while your account exists, because the leaderboards and the progress curve are built from them. If you delete your account, your profile and your authentication data are removed straight away and your typing results are removed with them.

Deleting your account

You can delete your account from the settings screen at any time. That removes your profile and your results; leaderboard rows that carry only a display name are removed with them.

Cookies

We use a small number of cookies, all of them needed to keep you signed in and to remember your theme and sound preferences. They are described in the cookie policy.
