Privacy Policy

Guests

If you use fasttypes without an account, we do not store any personal record of your activity. Anonymous, aggregate usage signals (like a page view or a session identifier that isn't tied to your identity) may be recorded to help us understand overall traffic, but nothing about a guest's typing results, text, or keyboard settings is ever saved to our database.

Registered users

If you create an account, we store your email, username, and a securely hashed password (we never store your password in plain text). If you sign up or sign in with Google or Facebook, we receive your email address from that provider to create or match your account, and Facebook also shares your Facebook user ID with us; we never receive your password from these providers. We also store the results of tests you complete, such as words per minute, accuracy, and similar metrics, so we can show you your own progress over time and, if you choose to participate, rank you on the leaderboard. We store any custom practice texts you choose to save, and your keyboard layout preferences, so they're available across your sessions and devices.

What we don't do

We don't sell your personal data. We don't share your typing results or saved texts with anyone outside the operation of the service itself.

Cookies

We use one essential cookie to keep you signed in. This site is funded by advertising: our advertising partners may use cookies and similar technologies to show and measure ads. Where the law requires it, ads only load after you accept them. You can change your choice at any time via “Cookie settings” at the bottom of any page. We also use Google Analytics to understand how visitors find and use the site. It sets cookies and collects usage data such as pages viewed, the referring website, approximate location and device type. The same cookie choice applies to it: where the law requires consent, Google Analytics only loads after you accept.

Your data

You can edit your username and password at any time from your profile. You can also delete your account and all its data yourself at any time from your profile page, under Account. This is permanent and cannot be undone. If you run into any trouble, you can also contact us through the site and we'll take care of it.

Advertising and Google

We show advertising to cover the cost of running the site. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your earlier visits to this site and to other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and to other sites on the internet.
