Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 10, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how TheMonkeyType ("we", "our", "us") collects, uses, stores, and protects personal information when you use themonkeytype.com and related services.

What data we collect

Depending on how you use the website, we may collect account information, public profile information, typing test results, challenge results, leaderboard data, settings, local preferences, IP-related log information, and basic device or browser information needed to keep the service secure and functional.

How we collect data

We collect information when you create an account, sign in, complete typing tests, participate in challenges, save settings, submit scores, contact us, or interact with pages, ads, and analytics tools on the website.

How we use data

We use collected information to operate the typing service, store your settings, save and display scores, maintain leaderboards, support challenge features, detect abuse or cheating, improve site performance, analyze usage trends, and communicate with you when needed.

Cookies, analytics, and ads

We use cookies and similar technologies for authentication, saved settings, analytics, and advertising. Third-party services such as Google AdSense and analytics providers may use cookies or similar tools to measure usage, personalize ads where permitted, and improve performance. In some regions, ad-related consent choices may be required before personalized advertising is shown.

How we store and protect data

We store data using third-party infrastructure and take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect it. No system can be guaranteed to be perfectly secure, but we work to reduce risk and limit access to what is necessary.

Sharing of information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited information with service providers that help operate the site, such as hosting, authentication, database, analytics, crash reporting, and advertising partners. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the service and its users.

Your rights and choices

You can clear browser-stored local data at any time. Subject to applicable law, you may also request access, correction, or deletion of account-related data. If you want to make a request, contact us at support@themonkeytype.com.

External links

Our website may link to third-party websites and services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this Privacy Policy.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be available on this page, and continued use of the service after updates means you accept the revised policy.
