Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 10, 2026

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how TypeClimb handles information associated with your account and use of the platform.

2. Information We Collect

When you create a TypeClimb account, we may collect information such as your name, email address, password credentials in securely hashed form, and information necessary to operate your account.

Depending on the features you use, additional information may be collected when you voluntarily provide it.

3. Typing and Platform Activity

TypeClimb may store information related to typing tests, typing performance, courses, progress, achievements, rankings, certificates, and other platform activity in order to provide and improve the service.

4. Account Security

Passwords are stored using secure password hashing rather than as plain text. TypeClimb may also maintain security records such as authentication events, verification activity, and technical information necessary to protect accounts and the platform.

5. Consent Records

When you accept the Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy, TypeClimb may record the relevant policy version, time of acceptance, and limited technical information associated with the consent.

6. Email Verification

TypeClimb uses email verification to confirm ownership of the email address associated with an account. Verification tokens are stored in protected, hashed form and are designed to expire and become unusable after successful verification.

7. Cookies and Sessions

TypeClimb may use cookies and server-side sessions to maintain authentication state, security protections, and essential platform functionality.

8. How Information Is Used

Information may be used to provide platform functionality, authenticate users, maintain account security, provide typing and course features, issue certificates, maintain rankings, communicate with users, troubleshoot problems, and improve the service.

9. Information Sharing

TypeClimb does not make your account password publicly available. Information may be processed or disclosed when necessary to provide requested services, operate infrastructure, comply with applicable law, protect the platform, or prevent fraud and abuse.

10. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect account and platform information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

11. Data Retention

Information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, maintain security, satisfy legal obligations, resolve disputes, and maintain legitimate platform records.

12. Your Choices

Depending on the functionality available on TypeClimb, you may be able to update account information or request assistance regarding your personal information.
