Information we collect

Information you provide

Most of our tools work without an account. However, if you choose to register, sign up, or log in, we may collect:

      • Your name or chosen nickname

      • Your email address

      • A password (stored in encrypted form)

    We only collect this information when you voluntarily provide it, for example when creating an account or contacting us.

    Typing and usage data

    When you take a typing test, we may store results such as your words-per-minute score, accuracy, and consistency. If you submit a score to the leaderboard, your chosen nickname, score, and an approximate country (derived from your connection) may be shown publicly. We do not publish your email address or any private account details.

    Information collected automatically

    Like most websites, we automatically receive standard technical information when you visit, including your browser type, device type, general location (country level), and pages viewed. This helps us keep the site working and improve it.

    Cookies

    Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them to remember your preferences (such as your nickname or sound settings), keep you logged in, understand how the site is used, and, where applicable, to display advertising.

    You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some features, such as staying logged in or saving your settings.

    Advertising and Google AdSense

    We may display advertisements through third-party advertising partners, including Google AdSense. These partners use cookies to help serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites.

        • Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s previous visits to our website or other websites.

        • Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.

        • You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

      For more information on how Google uses data when you use our site, see Google’s Privacy & Terms.

      Consent and users in the EEA, UK and Switzerland

      If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we and our advertising partners (including Google) ask for your consent before using cookies or similar technologies for personalized advertising and certain analytics. Where required, this consent is requested through a consent banner shown when you first visit the site, and you can change or withdraw your choices at any time using that banner or your browser settings.

      If you do not consent to personalized advertising, ads may still be shown, but they will be non-personalized — based on the general content of the page rather than your past activity.

      Analytics

      We may use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors use the site. These tools collect information such as pages visited and time spent, in an aggregated and anonymised form, so we can improve the experience. They do not tell us who you are personally.

      How we use your information

          • To provide and operate the typing test, lessons, games, and leaderboard

          • To save your scores, settings, and preferences

          • To display the public leaderboard

          • To respond to your messages and support requests

          • To keep the site secure and prevent abuse

          • To improve our content and features

        We do not sell your personal information to anyone.

        How we protect your data

        We take reasonable measures to keep your information safe. Passwords are stored in encrypted form, and we limit access to personal data. No method of transmission over the Internet is completely secure, but we work to protect your information and keep collection to the minimum we need.

        Your rights and choices

            • You can use most of the site without creating an account

            • You can update or delete your account information by contacting us

            • You can control cookies through your browser

            • You can opt out of personalized ads using the links above

            • You can ask us what data we hold about you, or request its deletion, via our contact page

          Children’s privacy

          Our site is suitable for general audiences, including students. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without appropriate consent. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us and we will remove it.

          Third-party links

          Our site may contain links to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. We encourage you to read their privacy policies.

          Terms of Use

          You may use fastfingertype.com for your personal, non-commercial typing practice and learning. You agree not to misuse the site, attempt to disrupt it, submit false or automated scores to the leaderboard, or copy our content without permission. The tools and content are provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind. We are not liable for any loss arising from your use of the site.
