Privacy Policy

This page explains the information dotyping uses to provide typing practice, races, profiles, and account features.

Information you provide

When you create an account, you may provide a username, email address, and password, or sign in with Google or Discord. You may also add profile details such as a picture, country, and custom preferences. If you join a race as a guest, you may provide a guest name.

Practice and social information

The service uses typing activity and results to show progress, statistics, experience, history, and leaderboards. Account features also include likes, friends, and race participation. Some profile information and results may be visible to other people according to the profile visibility settings you choose.

How we use information

  • To create accounts, authenticate users, and keep sessions active.
  • To provide practice, race, profile, progress, and social features.
  • To remember settings and improve the reliability of the service.
  • To understand site usage through Google Analytics.

Services that receive information

Google or Discord may process information when you choose their sign-in option. The site also loads Google Analytics, which collects usage information as described in Google’s documentation. Hosting and infrastructure providers necessarily process data needed to operate the service. The specific providers and any international transfers need confirmation before this draft becomes final.

Cookies and browser storage

dotyping uses a session cookie for signed-in access and browser storage for settings and temporary race state. Google Analytics may use cookies to distinguish users and sessions. See the Cookie & Storage Policy for more detail.

Your choices and data requests

You can edit some profile information and visibility settings in your account. Browser controls can remove locally stored settings. The process for requesting a copy, correction, or deletion of account information, including a contact address, must be added before this policy is finalized.

Retention and security

Retention periods for accounts, results, race data, and analytics have not yet been confirmed for this draft. These periods and the deletion process must be documented before publication. No online service can promise absolute security.

Updates and contact

This policy will be updated when the service or its data practices change. Operator name and privacy contact: [to be provided before publication].
