Privacy

Plain‑English privacy overview plus links to the full policy.

Overview

Data We Process

Local data: player name, saved scores, and settings in your own browser.

Ads (optional): if ads are displayed in the future, ad networks may use cookies or similar technologies to serve and measure ads. See their policies for details.

Cookies & Storage

LocalStorage keeps your leaderboard and preferences available between visits. You can clear it from the Leaderboard page or your browser settings. If analytics or ads are used, a consent banner may appear with controls to opt in or out where legally required.

Plain-English Summary

This page goes into detail, but the short version is simple:

The core features—typing tests, local leaderboard, and saved scores—are designed to work with data stored in your own browser, not on our servers.
We may use basic, privacy-friendly analytics and advertising tools to understand traffic and keep the site sustainable.
You’re always free to clear your browser data, reset scores, or use private browsing if you prefer.
We don’t sell personal contact lists or run an account system for this site.

The full policy below is what’s legally binding, but this summary is here so you can quickly understand the spirit of how we handle your data.

Questions You Can Ask About Your Data

If you ever wonder how information is handled, these are examples of questions you are welcome to ask.

What data is stored locally in my browser when I play a game or save a score?
What kind of analytics are used to understand traffic, if any?
How can I reset my saved scores or clear data connected to this site?
What changes will be made if the policy needs to be updated in the future?

Clear questions about privacy are always reasonable—it's your data and your device.

Simple Steps You Can Take to Protect Your Data

In addition to this policy, there are practical things you can do on your own devices.

Use private browsing if you prefer not to keep a long history of local scores.
Clear site data periodically in your browser settings if you want a fresh start.
Review permissions for browser extensions that interact with pages you visit.
Keep your browser updated so you benefit from current security fixes and protections.

Good privacy is a shared effort between site design and your own browsing habits.

Why Local-First Design Matters

Many parts of Typing Speed Arcade are intentionally built to work with information stored only in your browser.

Scores and names stay tied to your device unless you share screenshots or data yourself.
No central account is required for basic use, reducing the amount of data that has to live on a server.
Resetting the experience is as simple as clearing local storage or using a private window.
Privacy-conscious users can still benefit from the core features without creating a profile.

This approach supports both transparency and user control over what is stored where.

How to Recognize Policy Changes

If the privacy approach ever needs to change, you deserve clear notice.

Updated dates near the top of this page signal that wording has changed.
Plain-language summaries should explain what's different and why.
Reasonable lead time should be given before any material change takes effect.
Your options—such as clearing data or discontinuing use—should be easy to find.

You are always free to review the policy and decide what feels comfortable for you.

Thinking About Privacy Across Devices

How you use the site can change slightly depending on where you're practicing.

On a shared computer, you may prefer guest or private windows so scores don't linger.
On a personal laptop, long-term local scores may be exactly what you want.
On a work device, it's wise to follow your organization's rules about personal use.
On mobile, consider how auto-fill, keyboards, and screen size affect what is stored.

The same privacy tools exist across devices, but your choices might differ by context.

Typing Practice in Shared or Public Spaces

Many people play or train on shared computers at school, libraries, or work.

Avoid logging into personal accounts on devices you don't fully control.
Be cautious about saving passwords or letting browsers remember sensitive logins.
Close tabs with personal data before you step away, even for a short break.
Consider guest mode when practicing in places where many people use the same device.

You can still have fun with high scores while keeping the rest of your digital life protected.

Balancing Convenience and Privacy While You Play

Modern browsers are full of shortcuts, but it's worth choosing which ones you actually want.

Decide which devices you're comfortable using for practice versus sensitive tasks.
Review saved autofill data once in a while and delete anything you no longer need.
Use different browser profiles to separate casual gaming from work or school accounts.
Log out of shared machines when you're finished, even if you only played a few rounds.

A few deliberate choices can keep Typing Speed Arcade feeling fun without blurring into the rest of your digital life.

Talking About Online Habits With Younger Typists

If you practice with kids or teens, Typing Speed Arcade can be a starting point for bigger digital safety conversations.

Explain the difference between practice sites, school portals, and social networks.
Talk about what information is okay to share in games versus what should stay private.
Model good habits like logging out and avoiding sensitive text in public spaces.
Encourage questions whenever something online feels confusing or uncomfortable.

Linking fun activities to healthy habits can make online safety feel more natural to talk about.

Practicing With Friends Without Oversharing

You might want to compare scores or play together while still keeping certain things private.

Share just the numbers instead of screenshots that reveal other open tabs or notifications.
Avoid showing full names or emails in any account areas when screen sharing.
Use nicknames on leaderboards or chats if you prefer not to use your real name.
Decide as a group what feels comfortable to share publicly versus in private chats.

You can still have fun comparing progress without putting your whole digital life on display.

Checking in With Yourself About Screen Time

Typing practice lives inside your overall time on screens, which is worth paying attention to.

Notice how you feel after sessions—energized, restless, tired, or clear-headed.
Set soft limits for how many rounds or minutes make sense in one sitting.
Balance practice with off-screen activities that rest your eyes and body.
Revisit your habits if practice starts to cut into sleep, movement, or important offline time.

Typing is a valuable skill, but it should support your life, not quietly replace pieces of it.

Being Thoughtful About Shared Screens and Recordings

Typing often happens while you're screen sharing or on camera for calls and classes.

Remember that others may see not just your scores but also open tabs and notifications.
Close unrelated apps before you share a screen that includes practice or scores.
Ask before recording group sessions that show other people's names or results.
Use window-only sharing when possible instead of broadcasting your whole desktop.

Small habits like these keep practice fun without revealing more than you intend.
