Privacy Policy

Welcome to TypingTestMate ("we", "us", "our"), accessible at typingtestmate.com.

We believe privacy should be simple and transparent. TypingTestMate is built from the ground up as a privacy-first platform: you do not need an account, you never need to sign up or log in, and we do not store your typing tests or personal results on our servers. This Privacy Policy explains what limited technical information is involved when you browse our site, how local storage works on your device, and our future advertising disclosure.

1. Information We Collect

Here is an honest breakdown of information regarding our service:

a) No Account or Profile Information

TypingTestMate does not require you to register, sign up, or create an account to use any feature on our website. Every tool — including timed typing tests (1, 2, 3, and 5 minutes), English and Hindi typing layouts, custom text mode, and all Playground games — is accessible instantly without collecting your name, email, or profile details.

All your test scores, typing speed (WPM), accuracy, and personal best records live exclusively inside your own browser using localStorage. This data stays on your personal device and is never sent to our servers.

If you voluntarily choose to contact us via email, we collect your email address and message solely to respond to your question or feedback.

b) Technical & Hosting Information

TypingTestMate does not run background telemetry or personal tracking scripts. However, like virtually all websites, when your browser requests web pages, our web hosting provider and Content Delivery Network (CDN) may temporarily log standard network requests to maintain site security and deliver files reliably. These automated infrastructure logs may include:

• IP address (used temporarily for network routing and DDoS security)
• Browser type, language, and operating system
• Referring website and requested page URLs
• Date and time of visit

This technical information is handled at the network infrastructure level to prevent malicious traffic and ensure fast page loads, not to track or identify individual visitors.

2. How We Use Information

We use the limited information described above solely to:

• Deliver a fast, responsive, and reliable typing practice experience
• Protect the site from malicious traffic, bots, and abuse
• Respond directly to your support inquiries, bug reports, or feedback if you email us
• Comply with applicable legal requirements

We do not sell, rent, or monetize your personal data. We do not store your keystrokes or submitted paragraphs on any database.

3. Local Storage & Cookies

4. Advertising & Google AdSense Disclosure

7. Data Retention

TypingTestMate does not maintain a server database of user typing results or performance metrics. All test history and settings remain in your browser's localStorage until you clear your browser data. If you email us, we retain correspondence only as long as necessary to address your inquiry, after which it is safely deleted.

8. Children's Privacy

TypingTestMate is a safe, educational typing practice platform suitable for learners of all ages, including young students learning touch typing.

Because we do not require account registration or collect personal names, addresses, or phone numbers, children can safely practice their keyboarding skills without sharing personal data. We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has contacted us by email and shared personal details, please contact us and we will immediately delete that message.

9. Security

Our entire website is served securely over HTTPS using modern encryption standards. Because we do not store sensitive personal accounts, passwords, or payment cards on our servers, the risk of personal account data breaches on TypingTestMate is eliminated by design.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect site improvements, new features, or changes in legal regulations. When we make updates, the "Effective Date" at the top of this page will be revised. We encourage you to check back from time to time.
