TYPING PRIVACY POLICY
Last Updated: October 10, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Acetate Apps ("we," "us," or "our") processes information for the Typing Rivals mobile application (the "App") and typingrivals.com (the "Website"). The Website test does not require a mobile account. The sections below distinguish Website features from App features.
WEBSITE TYPING TEST & LEADERBOARD
For first-party website analytics we count page openings and typing-test starts and completions by day and page type. These counters contain no visitor identifier, typed text, IP address or individual browsing history. They respect Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track signals. Repeated page openings count again.
The website offers a 20-word test without an account. Supabase processes the test words, input events and timing to validate the result. Raw input events are not stored in the leaderboard tables. A random browser identifier helps limit repeated requests; it is not a mobile account.
Only when you choose “Save score” do we publish your chosen username, speed, accuracy and completion time. Results appear for 24 hours after test completion. Only the best result per username and word language is shown. Usernames are not reserved or verified, so avoid personal or sensitive information.
Web test records become eligible for automatic cleanup 48 hours after creation and are removed in batches when new tests are started. During periods without new tests, cleanup may occur later; expired scores are still excluded from the public leaderboard.
Your browser stores your language, theme, last username and a random test identifier. You can remove these through your browser’s site-data settings. Netlify uses the connection’s country information to choose an initial language; you can change it at any time. We do not request GPS permission or send your address to a separate geolocation service.
WEBSITE ADVERTISING, COOKIES & YOUR CHOICES
Website advertising is currently disabled while our Google AdSense application is under review. The Website does not currently load the AdSense advertising script or request ads. The following explains the advertising services planned for the Website if advertising is enabled; it does not mean ads are running now.
When enabled, Google AdSense and its third-party advertising partners may use cookies and similar identifiers to serve and measure ads, prevent fraud, and, where permitted by your choices and applicable requirements, personalize ads based on previous visits to this Website or other websites. Google advertising cookies allow Google and its partners to select ads based on those visits. Ad requests may include technical information such as an IP address, browser or device information, the page URL and advertising identifiers.
We do not intentionally include your chosen leaderboard nickname, typing input events or test result in advertising requests. The Website test and leaderboard use Supabase separately from the advertising service. Ads, if enabled, will be labelled and placed outside the typing controls.
Advertising choices
- Where a consent message applies, Google’s consent interface will explain the purposes and participating vendors and provide choices, including refusal. When that interface is available, use Privacy and cookie settings in the Website footer to revisit your choices. That control is only displayed when the advertising consent interface has loaded.
- You can manage Google personalized advertising through My Ad Center. Learn how Google processes information on partner sites in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services, and read the Google Privacy Policy.
- Other vendors may also offer their own opt-out controls. See the vendor links in the consent message and the Digital Advertising Alliance’s consumer choice tool for participating companies. Opting out of personalization does not necessarily remove all ads or all storage used for other purposes.
- You can block or delete cookies and local storage using your browser’s site-data settings. Doing so can reset your language, theme, remembered nickname and privacy choices. Choices may need to be made again on a different browser or device.
The Website also loads fonts from Google Fonts; your browser contacts Google’s font servers to obtain them. Netlify provides Website hosting, and Supabase provides the typing test and leaderboard backend. Their services receive the connection information needed to serve requests. See the Netlify Privacy Statement, Supabase Privacy Policy and Google Fonts privacy information.
Contact support@typingrivals.com with questions about Website data or to request help with a published leaderboard entry. Please provide enough information to locate the entry without sending passwords or sensitive information.
