This Privacy Policy explains how SpeedType ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our website. By using SpeedType, you agree to the practices described in this policy. We are committed to being transparent about our data practices and to respecting your privacy.
Information We Collect
SpeedType is designed to work without requiring you to create an account or provide personal information. You can take any typing test without registering, logging in, or submitting any personal details.
Information you provide
The text you type during a typing test is processed entirely within your own web browser to calculate your results. This typed content is not transmitted to or stored on our servers.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, we and our service providers may automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, including your browser type, device type, operating system, referring pages, and general usage patterns. This information helps us understand how the site is used and how to improve it.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate and improve the site. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. They allow us to remember your preferences and to understand aggregate usage. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings, though disabling cookies may affect some functionality.
Advertising
SpeedType displays advertising to support our free service. We use Google AdSense to serve these advertisements.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting aboutads.info.
Third-party advertising networks may collect information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide relevant advertisements. This Privacy Policy does not apply to, and we are not responsible for, the practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.
Analytics
We may use analytics services to help us understand how visitors interact with the site. These services may use cookies and collect aggregate, non-identifying information about site usage, which we use solely to improve the quality and content of SpeedType.
How We Use Information
- To operate, maintain, and improve the website and its features.
- To understand aggregate usage trends and measure the performance of our content.
- To display and measure advertising that keeps the service free.
- To detect, prevent, and address technical issues or abuse.
Data Retention and Security
Because we do not collect personal accounts or store your typed text, we hold very little information about individual users. Any automatically collected technical data is retained only as long as necessary for the purposes described above. We take reasonable measures to protect the information handled through our site, but no method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure.
Children's Privacy
SpeedType is a general-audience educational tool and includes tests designed for children learning to type. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Because our tests do not require any registration or personal details, children can use them without submitting personal information. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
Your Choices
You can manage cookies through your browser, opt out of personalized advertising using the links above, and choose not to provide any personal information (none is required to use the site). Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights regarding your data under laws such as the GDPR or CCPA.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
