# Privacy Policy for Typing Speed Test
**Last Updated:** September 6, 2026
**Typing Speed Test** ("we", "our", or "the App") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled, how device permissions are utilized, and how third-party advertising networks operate within the App.
By using Typing Speed Test, you agree to the practices outlined in this policy.
---
### 1. Keystroke & Input Privacy (Zero Data Collection)
* **We do NOT record, log, collect, monitor, or transmit your typed keystrokes or input text.**
* All typing speed tests, words-per-minute (WPM) calculations, accuracy percentages, character matching, and error feedback are computed **strictly in real-time within temporary device memory**.
* None of your typed content or keystrokes are ever sent to any remote server or third-party service.
---
### 2. Local Data Storage & Retention
* The App stores your best scores (WPM, Accuracy, CPM), test history (date, language, speed), and custom preferences (theme mode, font size, sound/vibration toggles) **solely on your physical device** using local sandboxed storage (`AsyncStorage`).
* We do not maintain any cloud database, user accounts, or external servers.
* Your data remains on your physical device until you delete it in the App or uninstall the application.
---
### 3. User Data Control & Instant Deletion
You have complete control over all data stored by the App:
* **In-App Reset:** You can instantly and permanently erase all saved test records, statistics, and high scores at any time by navigating to **Settings → Reset All Statistics**.
* **Uninstalling:** Removing or uninstalling the App from your device permanently deletes all locally stored data.
---
### 4. Third-Party Advertising (Google AdMob)
The App displays banner and interstitial advertisements served by **Google AdMob**.
To deliver advertisements, prevent invalid traffic or fraud, and compile aggregate performance reports, Google Mobile Ads SDK and Google Play Services may collect and process:
* **Device Identifiers:** Google Advertising ID (AAID / GAID) on Android devices.
* **Network Information:** IP address (used to determine general/coarse location such as country or city).
* **Diagnostic & App Performance Data:** Crash logs, SDK load times, and ad interaction metrics.
For more information on how Google processes and protects advertising data, please review:
* [Google Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy)
* [How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services](https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites)

### 5. Device Permissions
The App requests only the minimum permissions required to operate:
* **INTERNET (`android.permission.INTERNET`):** Required exclusively to load ad content from Google AdMob servers.
* **VIBRATE (`android.permission.VIBRATE`):** Used exclusively to deliver optional tactile haptic feedback on keystrokes and errors. This can be toggled on or off at any time in **Settings**.
The App does **not** request access to your camera, microphone, device storage, contacts, precise location, or photos.

### 6. Children’s Privacy (COPPA & GDPR)
Typing Speed Test does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13 (or under 16 in the European Economic Area). The App serves non-personalized ad requests, and no personal profile is constructed by the App. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately so we can take appropriate measures.

### 7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
