You can use all of these features without creating an account. If you choose to create a free account, we collect a small amount of extra information so we can save your progress.

Keyboard Typing Practice: Information We Collect

You can use the typing test, lessons, practice categories and typing games without creating an account or giving us any personal information. When you use the Website, we may collect or process some basic technical information automatically.

Log files and technical information

Like most websites, the Website collects standard log file and technical information when you visit, including:

Internet Protocol (IP) address
Browser type and version
Device type, operating system and screen size
Approximate location (country or city), derived from your IP address
Referring and exit pages
Date and time of your visit, pages viewed and links clicked

This technical information helps us understand how the Website works on different devices and browsers, identify technical problems, prevent abuse and maintain the Website. It is not used to identify you personally.

Information you provide

We collect personal information only when you choose to provide it:

When you create an account: your username, email address and password (see "User Accounts and Saved Progress" below).
When you contact us: your email address and anything you write in your message.

Typing Practice Information

Information related to your typing may be processed when you use the typing test, typing lessons or practice categories. This can include:

Words per minute (WPM)
Accuracy and true accuracy (characters typed wrong at least once, even if corrected)
Errors, and the keys and fingers involved
Lessons completed, practice time and the category or text you practiced

This information is used to calculate and show your results after each session, and to power the live keyboard and hand guide, which highlights the next key and the finger to use.

The characters you type are processed only to check them against the practice text and calculate your results. We do not record or store the text you type for any other purpose.

If you are not signed in, your results are shown for that session and may be kept only in your own browser's storage. If you are signed in, your results and lesson progress may be saved to your account so you can track your improvement over time.

Practice Categories

The Website offers typing practice for Data Entry (numbers, symbols, alphanumeric codes and spreadsheet-style text), Jobs (job applications, professional emails, office documents and customer support replies), Students (essays, academic vocabulary and paragraphs), IELTS (Task 1, Task 2, reading passages and the Academic Word List) and Coding (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Java and SQL).

All practice texts are provided by the Website. The names, companies and details in the sample job applications, emails and documents are fictional. You are never asked to type your own personal information in any practice category. Please do not enter real personal or sensitive information, such as passwords, ID numbers or bank details, into any typing area.

User Accounts and Saved Progress

Creating an account is optional. If you register, we collect:

Username: 3–24 characters, using letters, numbers or underscores. Choose a username that does not reveal your real name if you prefer to stay private.
Email address: used to verify your account, sign you in, reset your password and send important account messages.
Password: stored only in encrypted (hashed) form. We cannot see or recover your password.

When you register, we send a verification link to your email address. We do not send marketing or newsletter emails, and we do not sell or rent your email address.

Your account lets you save your typing results and lesson progress. You can ask us to delete your account at any time (see "Your Privacy Choices").
