Privacy Policy

Welcome to FreeTypingTest.in! Your privacy matters a lot to us, and we want you to use our site with full confidence. This privacy policy is intended to inform you of the information we collect when you visit this website, what it is used for, and how it's used. We have made this privacy policy as simple and clear as possible, as we feel you should know exactly what happens to your data.

Unlike many other sites that require you to create accounts and provide personal information, we have designed our site in such a way that you can take your typing tests without registering, logging in, or providing us with any of your personal information such as your name, email, or phone number. Our philosophy is that everyone should have easy and private access to typing practice tools!

Information We Collect

When you access FreeTypingTest.in, we collect some standard basic technical information about your access to provide the typing test service to you. We collect this information to ensure the website works as intended on your computer or device so we can troubleshoot problems when they occur.

Technical Data That Your Browser Sends To Us Automatically

When you browse a website, your browser automatically sends some info to the site(s) you are visiting. Specifically, we get info about what type of browser you are using (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.), what type of device you have (cell phone, tablet, laptop, etc.), and what operating system you run (Windows, Android, iOS). This is a way for us to check whether our website works on all different devices and to know about compatibility problems.

Another critical piece of information we receive from you is your IP Address. This tells us roughly who you are (country, city, etc.), but it does not tell us exactly where you are located (ex: home address) or anything like that.

We also keep track of what pages of our site you visit, how long you practice, and the lengths of typing tests you choose. This helps us to see how well our site is working and to improve it. For instance, if we notice that a lot of people are leaving a certain page fairly fast, it may mean that there is something about that page that is confusing to them.

What We Do Not Collect

We do not collect or store anything that identifies you personally, such as your name, email address, phone number, address, payment method, passwords, government IDs, or any other personal identification. We also do not save what you actually type while practicing, as that information is stored on your browser and never makes it's way to us.

How We Use Your Information

The information we collect serves specific purposes that directly benefit your experience on our platform. First and foremost, we use it to keep the website functioning properly. This means ensuring pages load quickly, features work correctly, and any technical errors get fixed promptly. When someone reports an issue, this data helps us understand what went wrong and how to fix it.

We analyze usage patterns to improve the website. If we see that many users struggle with a particular feature, we know we need to make it more intuitive. If certain typing test lengths are more popular than others, we can provide more content in those formats. This analysis happens at an aggregate level—we're looking at trends across all users, not tracking individual people.

We also use this information for security purposes. Monitoring traffic patterns helps us detect and prevent abuse, spam, or malicious attacks. If we notice unusual activity that could threaten the platform or other users, we can take action to protect everyone.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Like most websites today, we use cookies. These are small text files that get stored on your device when you visit our site. They help the website remember certain things and function properly. Let's break down what cookies we use and why.

Essential Cookies

Some cookies are necessary for basic website functionality. These handle things like keeping track of your session as you move between pages, remembering your language preference, and ensuring security features work correctly. Without these cookies, certain parts of the website simply wouldn't work. These cookies don't track you across other websites or collect personal information.

Analytics Cookies

We use Google Analytics to understand how people use our website. This service places cookies on your device that track which pages you visit, how you navigate through the site, and how much time you spend on different sections. The information gets sent to Google's servers where it's analyzed and presented to us as reports and charts. Google Analytics helps us answer questions like "How many people visit our site each month?" or "Which typing test format is most popular?"

The data Google Analytics collects is anonymous—it doesn't include your name or contact information. Google does process this data according to their own privacy policy, which you can review on their website. If you prefer not to be tracked by Google Analytics, you can install their opt-out browser extension, which prevents your data from being sent to Google.

Advertising Cookies

Running a free website comes with costs—server hosting, maintenance, improvements, and time. To cover these expenses without charging users, we display advertisements through Google AdSense. This means Google and their advertising partners place cookies on your device to show you relevant ads.

These advertising cookies work differently than the ones we've discussed so far. They track your browsing behavior not just on our website but across many different sites. This builds a profile of your interests so advertisers can show you ads they think you'll find relevant. For example, if you've been researching cameras on other websites, you might see camera advertisements on FreeTypingTest.in.

We understand some people aren't comfortable with this type of tracking. You have options to control it. You can visit Google's ad settings page to adjust your preferences, opt out of personalized advertising, or use browser settings to block third-party cookies entirely. Keep in mind that opting out doesn't mean you'll see fewer ads—you'll just see more generic ones that aren't tailored to your interests.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Your web browser gives you control over cookies. You can usually find cookie settings in your browser's privacy or security section. Most browsers let you block all cookies, accept all cookies, or get notified whenever a website wants to set a cookie so you can decide case by case. You can also delete cookies that have already been placed.

Just be aware that blocking essential cookies may prevent some website features from working properly. You might have trouble navigating between pages or certain functions might not respond correctly. If you experience problems after changing cookie settings, try allowing cookies from our website specifically while still blocking them from other sites.

Third-Party Services

We integrate some third-party services to make our website work better. These companies have their own privacy policies that govern how they handle data, so it's worth understanding who they are and what they do.

Google Analytics processes usage data to give us insights about our website's performance and visitor behavior. Google AdSense and their advertising partners handle everything related to the ads you see on our site, including determining which ads to show you and measuring whether people click on them. We also use content delivery networks (CDNs) to make our website load faster by serving files from servers located closer to you geographically.

When you interact with these services, you're subject to their privacy policies in addition to ours. We've chosen providers we believe are reputable and take privacy seriously, but we don't control their practices. If you have concerns about how these companies handle data, we encourage you to review their privacy policies directly.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have legal rights regarding your personal information. Various privacy laws around the world—like the European Union's GDPR or California's CCPA—give people rights to access, correct, delete, or control how their data gets used.

Since we don't collect personal information through our normal website operations, there often isn't any personal data for us to access, correct, or delete. However, if you've contacted us via email, we would have your email address and message content. In that case, you could request that we delete that correspondence.

You have the right to opt out of Google Analytics tracking by using their browser extension. You can opt out of personalized advertising through Google's ad settings or through industry opt-out tools like the Network Advertising Initiative or Digital Advertising Alliance websites. These platforms let you opt out of tracking from multiple ad networks at once.

If you're in the European Union, you have additional rights under GDPR, including the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe your rights have been violated. California residents have similar rights under CCPA, including the right to know what information is collected and the right to opt out of data sales (though we don't sell data in the traditional sense).

Keeping Your Data Secure

We take reasonable steps to protect the information we collect. Our website uses HTTPS encryption, which means data traveling between your browser and our servers is encrypted and can't easily be intercepted by others. Our hosting provider maintains secure servers with industry-standard protections against unauthorized access.

That said, no system is perfectly secure. We can't guarantee that data transmitted over the internet is 100% safe from interception or that our systems are completely immune to sophisticated attacks. You share information with us at your own risk, though we do our best to minimize that risk through security best practices.

Children's Privacy

Our website is designed primarily for adults preparing for government exams and similar typing tests. However, students of various ages may use it for typing practice. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent. Since our platform doesn't require registration or collect personal details during normal use, children can practice typing here safely without providing any personal information.

If you're a parent or guardian, we encourage you to be involved in your child's internet activities. If you believe we've accidentally collected personal information from a child, please contact us so we can correct the situation.

Updates to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices, new legal requirements, or improvements to our services. When we make changes, we'll update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. For significant changes that substantially affect how we handle data, we'll provide more prominent notice—perhaps through a banner on our homepage or an email if we have your contact information from previous correspondence.

Your continued use of FreeTypingTest.in after we post changes means you accept the updated policy. If you don't agree with changes we make, your option is to stop using the website. We recommend checking this page periodically to stay informed about our current practices.

Questions or Concerns

If you have questions about this privacy policy, concerns about how we handle data, or want to exercise any of your privacy rights, please contact us at info@freetypingtest.in. We typically respond to privacy-related inquiries within a few days, though we aim to comply with legal requirements that may mandate responses within 30 days.

When you contact us, please be as specific as possible about your question or request. If you're exercising rights under a particular privacy law (like GDPR or CCPA), let us know so we can handle your request appropriately. We take these inquiries seriously and will work with you to address your concerns.

Thank you for taking the time to understand how we handle privacy at FreeTypingTest.in. We're committed to keeping your trust by being transparent about our practices and giving you control over your information. Now get back to improving those typing skills!
