Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 12, 2026

This policy explains what information Pro Typers (http://localhost:5173) collects, why, and the choices you have. We collect only what we need to run the site, and we don't sell your personal information.

What we collect

  • Your account: your name, email address and password. Passwords are stored only as a secure hash, never as plain text.
  • Your results: the tests and games you finish while signed in (speed, accuracy, scores and when you played), so we can show your progress and personal bests.
  • Fair-play data: while you play a scored round, the timing of your key presses (how long keys are held and the gaps between them, not what you type elsewhere) is sent with your result so we can detect bots and auto-typers.
  • Invites: if you joined through a friend's invite link, which account invited you.
  • Messages: what you send us through the contact form, with your name and email.
  • Technical data: like most websites, our servers briefly process your IP address and browser details to deliver pages, limit abuse and keep the site secure.

How we use it

To run your account and save your progress; to send emails you ask for, such as password resets; to answer your messages; to prevent cheating and abuse; and to keep the site working and improve it.

Cookies and similar storage

  • Sign-in cookie: keeps you logged in. It's removed when you log out.
  • Theme cookie: remembers the colour theme you picked.
  • Test settings: your last typing-test setup is saved in your browser's local storage.
  • Advertising cookies: set by Google and its partners, as explained below.

Advertising

Pro Typers is free because it shows ads from Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this website and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies lets it and its partners show you ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the internet.

You can turn off personalized advertising in Google's Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some other companies' personalized ads at aboutads.info or, in Europe, youronlinechoices.eu. To learn more, see how Google uses information from sites that use its services. Where the law requires it, for example in the European Economic Area and the UK, we ask for your consent before personalized ads are shown.

Who we share it with

We use service providers to host the site, handle sign-in and store data (Supabase), and send email, and they process data only to provide those services to us. Ads are provided by Google as described above. We may also disclose information if the law requires it or to protect the site and its users. We don't sell personal information.

How long we keep it

We keep your account and results while your account exists. Abandoned unfinished games and expired sign-in sessions are deleted automatically. Contact messages are kept only as long as needed to deal with them.

Your choices

You can update your name, email and password on your account page. To get a copy of your data or have your account and results deleted, send us a message through the contact page.

Children

Pro Typers is meant for a general audience and isn't directed at children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has given us personal information, contact us and we'll delete it.

Security

We use reasonable measures to protect your information, such as encrypted connections, hashed passwords and hashed sign-in tokens. No website can be completely secure, so please use a strong password you don't use elsewhere.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page.
