This Privacy Policy explains how Simple Typing ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our website to practice English and Hindi typing, government exam typing tests, child learning activities, and typing games.
Information We Collect
You can use most of Simple Typing — including typing practice, typing games, and child learning activities — without creating an account or providing any personal information. If you choose to create a free account, we collect:
- Account details: your name and email address, and a securely hashed password (we never store your password in plain text).
- Typing activity: your typing test results, including words-per-minute, accuracy, and completion history for lessons, exam sets, and games, so we can show you your progress over time.
- Preferences: your theme (light/dark) and accent colour choices, stored against your account or in your browser.
If you contact us through our contact form, we collect the name, email address, and message you provide so we can respond to you.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use a small number of cookies that are necessary for the site to function, such as keeping you logged in and remembering your session. We may also use cookies to remember your display preferences, such as light or dark theme.
As this site displays advertising through Google AdSense, Google and its partners may use cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites.
How We Use Your Information
- To provide and maintain your account, including saving your typing history and progress.
- To operate features that require login, such as the leaderboard, exam-set progression, and your personal dashboard.
- To respond to messages sent through our contact form.
- To send you optional email updates if you subscribe to them, which you may unsubscribe from at any time.
- To maintain the security of the platform, including preventing spam and abuse (for example, through CAPTCHA and rate limiting on login attempts).
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
How We Protect Your Information
Passwords are stored using a one-way cryptographic hash (Argon2id) and are never stored or logged in plain text. We use CSRF protection on forms, rate limiting on login attempts, and standard secure session handling to help protect your account.
Third-Party Services
We use the following categories of third-party services:
- Advertising: Google AdSense, to display ads that help keep this platform free.
- Email delivery: to send transactional emails such as password resets, if you request one.
These providers may collect information sent by your browser as part of a web page request, such as cookies or your IP address, subject to their own privacy policies.
Children's Privacy
Our Child Learning section is designed for use by children under adult supervision. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children. Accounts on Simple Typing require an email address and are intended to be created and managed by a parent, guardian, or teacher.
Your Choices
- You can review and update your name and email address at any time from your account profile.
- You can delete your typing history simply by not using saved-history features; guests are never asked to create an account.
- You can contact us at any time to request that your account and associated data be deleted.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
