2. Privacy at a Glance

3. The Simulator & Your Typing
Your settings (such as color theme, language, and typing speed) and session stats (such as lines typed and achievements) may be saved in your own browser’s local storage so they are remembered next time. This data stays on your device, is never sent to us, and can be removed by clearing your browser data.

We use this information to run and improve the website, prevent spam and abuse, respond to messages, measure traffic, and display advertising that keeps the Service free.
5. Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comment form, along with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string, to help with spam detection.
An anonymized string created from your email address (called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you use it. The Gravatar privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public alongside your comment.
6. Media

8. Advertising
Hacker Typer Online is free and supported by advertising. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this website and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this and other sites on the internet.
You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or www.aboutads.info. For more information, see how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Visitors in the European Economic Area, the UK, and Switzerland will be asked for consent before personalized advertising cookies are used, where required by law.
9. Analytics
We may use analytics tools (such as Google Analytics) to understand how visitors find and use our website. These tools collect information such as pages visited, time spent, and device type, generally in aggregated form. We use this data only to improve the website. You can opt out of Google Analytics with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
10. Embedded Content From Other Websites
Articles and tools on this site may include embedded content (for example, videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves the same way as if you had visited that website directly.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with the embedded content, including if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
11. Who We Share Your Data With
We do not sell or rent your personal information. We share data only in these situations:
- Service providers: hosting, security, spam filtering, analytics, and advertising partners that help us run the website.
- Spam detection: visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
- Password resets: if you request a password reset, your IP address is included in the reset email.
- Legal requirements: when required by law, or to protect our rights, users, or the public.
Some of these providers may process data outside your country. Where this happens, we rely on the safeguards these providers offer under applicable law.
12. How Long We Keep Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are kept indefinitely. This lets us recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users who register on our website (if any), we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. Users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except their username. Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
Contact messages are kept only as long as needed to respond and for reasonable record-keeping.
13. Your Rights Over Your Data
If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you provided. You can also ask us to erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include data we must keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Depending on where you live (for example, under the GDPR in Europe or privacy laws in California and other US states), you may also have the right to:
- Access, correct, or delete your personal information.
- Object to or restrict certain processing.
- Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent.
- Opt out of personalized advertising.
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
To make a request, contact us using the details below. We will respond within a reasonable time and as required by law.
14. Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures, including HTTPS encryption, to protect the information we hold. However, no method of transmission or storage over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
15. Children’s Privacy
The simulator is suitable for general audiences, but we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, for example through a comment, please contact us and we will delete it.
16. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page, and the “Last updated” date above will be revised. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
