This policy explains what Typoclysm (operated by Perseus Solutions, the "controller") collects, why, and the choices you have. Short version: we collect what's needed to run a typing game with accounts, scores and rankings; we don't sell your data, and we don't run advertising or analytics trackers.
| Data | Why |
|---|---|
| Account data — email address and password (stored as a secure hash by our authentication provider); for guests, an anonymous account ID with no email. | Sign-in, account recovery, confirming your email. |
| Profile — display name, optional profile picture, theme / caret / sound settings. | Showing you on leaderboards and in matches; personalisation. |
| Gameplay data — scores, WPM and accuracy, XP and level, coins and cosmetics owned, streaks, Ranked rating and match history, Arcade runs, daily-challenge results. | Running the game, leaderboards, rewards and progression. |
| Keystroke timing logs — for each scored run, the time and correctness of each key press, plus per-key and key-pair accuracy statistics. | Calculating and verifying results on the server, detecting cheating, showing race replays, and coaching you on weak keys. It does not record what you type outside the game. |
| Technical data — IP address, browser type and request logs handled by our infrastructure providers; a bot-check token when you sign in or sign up. | Security, abuse prevention, keeping the Service running. |
| Support messages you send us. | Answering you. |
Some of this is public: your display name, level/XP, scores, ratings, rankings, weekly awards and race results can be seen by other players. Don't use a display name that reveals personal information.
We store data in your browser's local storage: your sign-in session, settings, lesson progress and typing statistics, and (briefly) a finished Ranked result that hasn't reached our server yet. We don't use advertising cookies or third-party analytics. Clearing your browser data removes this local copy; for signed-in accounts the important parts are also stored on our servers.
When paid purchases launch, a payment processor will handle your payment details; we will not see or store card numbers, and we'll update this policy first.
We keep account and gameplay data while your account exists. Analytics events are kept for up to 12 months and then deleted. Guest accounts that are never used may be removed after a period of inactivity. Security and backup logs are kept for a limited time. When you ask us to delete your account we delete or anonymise your data, except where we must keep something for legal reasons or to protect the integrity of the game (for example a match record that also belongs to your opponent).
You can turn off anonymous usage analytics at any time in Settings → Data → "Share anonymous usage data". You can also ask us to access, correct, export or delete your data, or to object to or restrict certain processing, by emailing info@typoclysm.com from your account email. Depending on where you live (for example the EU/UK or California) you have additional legal rights, including the right to complain to your data-protection authority. We don't sell personal information.
Typoclysm is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their personal data. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we'll delete it. [Add a local-law note here if you serve the EU/UK, where the digital age of consent can be up to 16.]
Data is sent over HTTPS and protected by database access rules; results are validated on the server. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong, unique password.
Our providers may process data in countries other than yours. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.
We'll post updates here and change the effective date; for material changes we'll also notify you in the Service. Questions: info@typoclysm.com.
