Privacy Policy
Last updated:
Your privacy matters, and the honest summary of this policy is short: TypeDriveGames does not ask who you are, does not require an account, and stores your typing results in your own browser. The details below explain exactly what that means.
Information we collect
TypeDriveGames is a browser game with no sign-up. We do not collect names, email addresses, or any other personal information, and we do not build user profiles.
- Typing results (your best WPM and accuracy) are saved in your browser's localStorage. This data never leaves your device and is only used to display your personal best.
- Like virtually all websites, our server logs may receive standard technical information (such as IP address, browser type and requested pages) for security and diagnostics. These logs are not used to identify you.
Cookies and analytics
TypeDriveGames uses Google Analytics to understand, in aggregate, how the site is used — which pages are visited, for how long, and from which broad regions. This helps us decide what to improve. Google Analytics sets cookies and uses technologies such as IP anonymization; we have enabled IP anonymization so your full IP address is never stored.
- Analytics data is aggregated and cannot be used to identify you personally.
- You can refuse or delete analytics cookies through your browser settings, or use a browser extension such as Google's official opt-out add-on (tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).
- Details on how Google handles analytics data: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
- Apart from analytics, the site itself does not set tracking cookies. If we later add optional features that use additional cookies, this policy will be updated before they go live.
Third-party advertising
We plan to keep TypeDriveGames free by displaying ads served through third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense. If and when ads appear, the following applies:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies 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 visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings (https://www.google.com/settings/ads).
- You can also visit www.aboutads.info/choices to opt out of the use of cookies for personalized advertising by many third-party vendors.
- For more about how Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or apps, see https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Children's privacy
TypeDriveGames is a typing practice tool suitable for all ages and does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction), because we do not collect personal information from anyone. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can investigate.
Data retention and control
- Your personal-best records live only in your browser's localStorage. Clearing your browser data for this site permanently deletes them — we cannot recover them, because we never had them.
- We do not sell, rent, or share personal information with third parties, because we do not have personal information to share.
Changes to this policy
If we update this policy (for example, when advertising or analytics change), we will post the new version on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Continuing to use TypeDriveGames after changes means you accept the updated policy.
