Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

        🔒 Short version: You can use TypingCraft entirely anonymously. If you create an account to save your scores, we securely store your email, username, and typing performance in the cloud.
      

1. Overview

TypingCraft is designed with privacy in mind. The application can run entirely in your browser without an account. If you choose to create an account, we store minimal necessary data to sync your progress and display your high scores on the global leaderboard.

2. Data We Collect (If Logged In)

If you choose to create an account (via email/password or Google Login), we collect and store the following data on our secure cloud database (Firebase):

Your email address and chosen username
Your typing session performance (WPM, accuracy, test duration)
Your top scores for the global leaderboard

3. Data We Do Not Collect

Regardless of whether you are logged in or using the app anonymously, we do not collect:

Specific typing patterns or keystroke dynamics
Browsing history outside of our application
Personal data for the purpose of selling to third-party advertisers

4. Local Storage vs. Cloud Storage

Anonymous Users: All your settings, history, and scores are saved exclusively in your own browser's localStorage and never leave your device.

Logged-In Users: Your local data is periodically synchronized with our cloud database to ensure your history is preserved across devices and your best scores appear on the leaderboard.

Data	Purpose	Where stored
Username & email	Authentication & display	Firebase (Cloud)
WPM & accuracy scores	Performance chart	Local & Firebase (Cloud)
App settings	Remember preferences	localStorage (Local only)
Leaderboard entries	Global high scores	Firebase (Cloud)

5. Third-Party Services

TypingCraft uses Google Firebase for secure authentication and database hosting. Firebase's privacy policies govern how they securely process this data on our behalf. We also use Google Analytics to collect anonymous usage statistics (like page views and traffic sources) to help us improve the website, and Google Fonts to load typography.

6. Children's Privacy

TypingCraft does not knowingly collect any information from children under 13. We encourage parents and guardians to observe, participate in, and/or monitor their children's online activity. Anonymous usage of the app is safe for all ages.

7. Changes to This Policy

If we ever change how data is handled, we will update this page and the "Last updated" date above. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
