Privacy Policy

Welcome to Typetune (“we”, “our”, or “us”), accessible at https://typetune.ollypedia.in. We are deeply committed to protecting your personal privacy, maintaining transparency, and ensuring strict compliance with global privacy regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), and Google Publisher / AdSense Policies.

This Privacy Policy explains how information is collected, used, and safeguarded when you visit our website, take typing speed tests, play educational arcade games, or use our student Newspaper Studio.

1. Information We Collect

Typetune is engineered to be a privacy-first educational tool. You can practice typing, play games, and create newspapers without ever creating an account or providing your name:

• Anonymous Typing Test Metrics: When you complete a test, performance metrics (such as net WPM, raw WPM, accuracy percentage, consistency score, and keystroke timing) are stored in our database with a randomly generated unique identifier. No name, email, or personal identity is linked to these results.
• Local Browser Storage (LocalStorage): Preferences such as sound volume, audio mute state, customized themes, and your recent test history IDs are saved locally in your browser. This data never leaves your device.
• Audio Synthesis: All piano sound generation and acoustic feedback runs 100% locally in your browser using the Web Audio API. Zero audio data is recorded or transmitted.
• Direct Communications: If you contact us via email at [email protected] or through our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and message content solely to respond to your inquiry.
• Log Files & Technical Data: Like standard web servers, our hosting provider automatically logs standard technical requests (including browser type, operating system, referring URL, and timestamp) for cybersecurity, DDoS mitigation, and server performance monitoring.
