Privacy Policy

Last Updated: April 2026

Your privacy matters to us. This page explains, in plain language, what information TypoBlitz collects when you use our site, why we collect it, and how we keep it safe. If you have any questions after reading this, please feel free to contact us — we're happy to explain anything.

1. Who We Are

TypoBlitz is operated by SHIVAXA. Our website is available at typoblitz.shivaxa.com. When we say "we", "us", or "our" in this policy, we mean SHIVAXA and the TypoBlitz platform.

2. What Information We Collect

We keep things minimal. Here is exactly what we collect:

  • Leaderboard Submissions: When you choose to submit your score to the global leaderboard, we store the display name you type in (which can be anything — your real name is not required), your WPM score, your accuracy percentage, your completion time, and your IP address. We store your IP address temporarily to prevent abuse and protect the integrity of the leaderboard. It is never publicly displayed.
  • Usage Data via Google Analytics (if applicable): We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors use the site (e.g., which pages are visited most). This data is aggregated and anonymous.
  • Advertising Cookies via Google AdSense: TypoBlitz displays ads through Google AdSense. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other sites. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To display your score on the public global leaderboard.
  • To prevent spam and abuse of the leaderboard (via IP-based rate limiting).
  • To show relevant advertisements through Google AdSense that help us keep TypoBlitz free.
  • To improve the site's performance and user experience.

4. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser to remember certain information. TypoBlitz itself does not set cookies for tracking purposes. However, our advertising partner, Google AdSense, uses cookies to serve personalised or contextual advertisements. By using TypoBlitz, you agree to the use of these cookies as described in Google's Privacy Policy. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings at any time.

5. Third-Party Services

We currently use the following third-party services:

  • Google AdSense — for displaying advertisements. Google's ad policy →
  • Google Fonts — for typography (Inter & Fira Code). These fonts are loaded from Google's servers, which may log your IP address.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect the data stored in our database from unauthorized access. Scores are stored on secure Hostinger servers with restricted access. We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with any third party for marketing purposes.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to request the removal of any data associated with your leaderboard entries. Since we do not collect email addresses, please use our Contact page to make a removal request, and include the display name and approximate date of your submission so we can identify the record.

8. Children's Privacy

TypoBlitz is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through our site, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we'll update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to check back periodically. Continued use of TypoBlitz after any changes means you accept the updated policy.

10. Contact Us

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your data, please reach out through our Contact page. We aim to respond within 2–3 business days.
