Privacy & Data Transparency

Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters to us. TypingZoo is built to function with minimal data collection: no mandatory user accounts, no data selling, no tracking pixels, and full transparency.

🛡️ No Data Selling. Ever.

1. Privacy at a Glance

We believe in straightforward, user-respecting design. Here are the core pillars of our privacy commitment:

  • No Account Required:Practice tests, timed exercises, and learning modules require zero sign-in.
  • Never Sold:We do not sell, rent, or monetize your personal information to data brokers or third parties.
  • Local Scoring:Your live typing keystrokes, WPM results, and mistake logs are processed locally in your browser and not uploaded to remote servers.
  • Functional Only:Cookies and LocalStorage entries are utilized solely for user preferences (Dark/Light mode, font size, sound toggles).

2. What Data We Collect
