Privacy Policy
At TypingDost (accessible from https://typingdost.com), your privacy is one of our utmost priorities. This Privacy Policy outlines the types of information collected and recorded by TypingDost, how we use it, our cookie guidelines, and our compliance with Google AdSense, GDPR, CCPA, and worldwide digital privacy standards.
1. Consent
By using our website, you hereby consent to our Privacy Policy and agree to its terms. If you do not agree with any terms described herein, please discontinue using TypingDost.
2. Information We Collect (Zero Mandatory Registration)
TypingDost is built with a privacy-first approach. You are never required to register an account, provide a password, or submit sensitive personally identifiable information (PII) to take typing tests, practice 14+ languages, or check your WPM speed.
- Local Browser Data: Your test configuration settings (such as selected language, chosen timer duration, sound effects volume, preferred visual theme, and high scores) are stored exclusively on your device via HTML5
localStorage. This data never leaves your browser and is never stored on our central databases. - Custom Uploaded Text & PDFs: When you practice typing with custom text files or uploaded PDFs, all parsing and text processing occur 100% locally on your browser via client-side JavaScript. We never upload, inspect, or store your custom documents.
- Typing Speed Certificates: When you generate a verified PDF certificate, the certificate generation logic executes locally on your device. We do not store or sell your test scores or candidate names.
- Voluntary Contact Information: If you contact us directly via our Contact Form or email, we may receive your name, email address, message contents, and any attachments you choose to send. This information is used strictly to answer your inquiries.
3. Log Files & Analytics
TypingDost follows standard industry practices for log file generation. These logs record visitors when they access website pages. The information collected may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamps, referring/exit pages, and number of clicks. These are not linked to any information that is personally identifiable. The purpose is for analyzing site trends, administering the site, tracking user movement, and gathering demographic information to optimize server performance.
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) with IP anonymization enabled to understand site engagement, popular typing test lessons, and regional language demand.
