Privacy
Plaintype runs entirely in your browser. There is no server-side account, no analytics, no third-party trackers, and no cookies.
What we store
A few small JSON entries live in your browser's localStorage:
- Your last 500 completed runs — net and raw WPM, accuracy, consistency, errors, the mode, and a timestamp. Used to draw the history panel, trends, and personal bests.
- Your settings — theme, typing font, caret, layout, behaviour options, and any custom text you've pasted.
- Sound choices — volume, keystroke pack, cue toggles, and the ambience selection.
None of it leaves your device. Clearing your browser data — or using clear in the history panel or the data section of settings — removes it. You can export history as a JSON file and import it on another machine; that transfer happens through your own file system, never a server.
A service worker caches the app's files so it works offline. That cache holds only the site's own assets, never your data.
What we don't do
- No accounts, no logins, no email collection.
- No analytics or usage telemetry of any kind.
- No advertising, no remarketing pixels, no fingerprinting.
- No third-party domains. Every asset — fonts, keystroke sounds, everything — is served from this domain.
Hosting
The site is served as static files from Cloudflare. Cloudflare's edge servers see your IP address as part of any HTTP request — that's unavoidable for any website — and may log it for abuse prevention per their privacy policy. We don't have an analytics account attached, so we never see those logs.
