Welcome to TypeMeter: Typing Speed Test. We respect your privacy and aim to handle your information responsibly. This Privacy Policy explains what information the application processes, how it is used, and what choices are available to you.

4. Data Storage
TypeMeter is designed as an offline-first application. Its core typing tests, lessons, and progress features are intended to work without requiring an account or registration.
Typing results, practice history, and app preferences are stored locally on your device according to the app's implemented storage functionality.
Data stored on your device may be affected by device settings, operating system backups, clearing app data, or uninstalling the app.
5. Custom Text and Practice Content
TypeMeter may allow you to enter or paste your own text for custom typing tests. This content is processed to provide typing comparison, speed calculations, and accuracy feedback.
Please avoid entering confidential, financial, password-related, or other sensitive information into custom typing tests.
6. JSON Backup and CSV Export
The application may provide options to export supported typing history and performance information in JSON or CSV format.
- Export actions are initiated by you.
- You choose where exported files are saved or shared.
- Imported backup files may be checked for supported formats and duplicate records.
- Files shared with other applications are handled according to the receiving application's privacy policy.
7. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. TypeMeter's core functionality is designed to store and process typing information locally on your device.
We do not intentionally share your typing content or test history with third parties as part of the core offline functionality. If you choose to share an exported file, the receiving service's privacy practices will apply.
8. Third-Party Services
The app may use third-party libraries or services depending on the version distributed through the Google Play Store. Such services may process technical or usage information according to their own privacy policies.
We encourage users to review the privacy policies of applicable third-party services where relevant.
9. Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect information handled by the app. However, no electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
You are responsible for keeping your device secure and protecting any exported backup files.
10. Data Retention and Deletion
Saved typing results, practice history, and preferences remain on your device until you delete them using available app options, clear the application's data, or uninstall TypeMeter.
Exported files are stored in the location you select. You can manage or delete these files through your device's file manager or the application used to store them.
11. Children's Privacy
TypeMeter is a general-purpose typing practice and measurement application. It is not specifically designed to collect personal information from children.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the app.
12. Your Privacy Choices
You can manage your information through the available app and device options:
- Delete saved test history where supported.
- Clear TypeMeter's stored data through Android settings.
- Manage exported JSON and CSV files.

- Uninstall the application at any time.
13. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the application's features, technical implementation, or applicable requirements.
Any revised policy will be made available through the app or its official listing. We encourage you to review it periodically.
