Privacy Policy

Introduction

TypeSkill respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect any information you provide while using our website at typeskill.academy. We are committed to ensuring your privacy is protected.

Information We Collect

We collect minimal information to provide and improve our service. This includes:

• Local storage data: Typing progress, best scores, and lesson completion data stored in your browser. This data stays on your device and is not transmitted to our servers.
• Usage analytics: Anonymous page view data if you consent to cookies.
• Contact form data: If you contact us via email, we receive only the information you choose to share.

LocalStorage in Detail

TypeSkill saves your typing progress, lesson completions, best scores, and interface preferences directly in your browser's localStorage. This approach means your data stays on your device and is never transmitted to or stored on our servers. You are not required to create an account, and no personal information is collected during normal use.

Because we rely on browser storage, your progress is tied to the specific browser and device you use. If you clear your browser data, switch browsers, or use a different device, your progress will reset. We recommend using the same browser on the same device for a consistent learning experience.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to operate and improve our typing education platform. Specifically, we use data to track your typing progress locally, improve website content and user experience, respond to your inquiries, and ensure compliance with applicable laws.

Cookies

We use minimal cookies for essential website functionality. No third-party tracking cookies are used unless you provide explicit consent through our cookie consent banner. You can manage cookie preferences at any time using the Cookiebot consent banner. For more details, see our Cookie Policy.

Analytics and Consent

TypeSkill may use privacy-conscious analytics tools such as Google Analytics or Netlify Analytics to understand general website usage. These tools help us improve our content and user experience.

These tools may collect non-personal information such as:

• Pages visited and time spent on pages.
• Device type, browser type, and operating system.
• Approximate geographic location (country/city level).
• Traffic source and referral data.
• General usage patterns for improving content and user experience.

Consent is managed through Cookiebot, a consent management platform. When you first visit TypeSkill, you will be asked to accept, decline, or customize your cookie preferences. Analytics cookies are only activated after you provide explicit consent.

We do not intentionally collect typed practice content, messages, passwords, or personal learning data through analytics. All analytics data is anonymized and aggregated. You can continue to use the full platform without accepting analytics cookies, as all core functionality works without them.

Local Storage

TypeSkill uses browser localStorage to save your typing progress, lesson completions, best scores, sound preferences, and interface settings directly on your device. Unlike cookies, localStorage data is not automatically transmitted to servers and remains exclusively on your device. You can view and clear this data at any time through your browser's developer tools or privacy settings.

If the admin analytics page is used, a temporary session storage entry is created during login. This is cleared when you close your browser or log out.

Your Choices and Analytics Opt-Out

You have full control over your data at all times:

• Cookie consent: Use the Cookiebot banner to accept, decline, or customize your cookie preferences at any time.
• Analytics opt-out: You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
• Local storage: Clear your typing progress, lesson completions, and preferences via your browser's settings panel.
• Browser settings: Disable cookies entirely in your browser and still use the core features of the platform.

Data Storage

Your typing progress and preferences are stored locally in your browser using localStorage. This data is not accessible to us or any third party. You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings.

Third-Party Services

We do not sell, trade, or transfer your personal information to third parties. We may use the following third-party services:

• Cookiebot (Cybot A/S) — for managing cookie consent preferences.
• Google Analytics (Google LLC) — for anonymous, aggregated usage analytics, only with your consent.

Data shared with these services is minimal and anonymized where possible. We may share anonymous, aggregated data for analytical purposes only.

Children's Privacy

TypeSkill is suitable for children and students. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. All data collection is limited to local browser storage.

Data Protection

We take data protection seriously. Since all your typing progress and preferences are stored locally in your browser using localStorage, the risk of data exposure is minimal. We do not operate backend servers that store personal data, and we do not share, sell, or transfer any user information to third parties.

We recommend keeping your browser and operating system updated to ensure the highest level of security for locally stored data. If you use a shared or public computer, we suggest clearing your browser data after each session.

Your Choices

You have full control over your data at all times. You can clear your typing progress, reset lesson completions, or delete all TypeSkill data stored in your browser via your browser's settings panel. You may also choose to disable cookies entirely and still use the core features of the platform.

If you have questions about your data or would like assistance managing your privacy preferences, please contact our support team.

Your Rights

You have the right to access, modify, or delete any personal data we hold about you. Since most data is stored locally, you can manage it directly through your browser. For any other concerns, please contact us.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
