Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy applies to Monkey Type and the website available at monkey-type.io. Its purpose is to explain how information may be collected, used, stored, and protected when you visit the website, use the typing-test service, submit a form, or otherwise interact with Monkey Type.

Please read this Privacy Policy to understand the practices that may apply and the privacy choices available to you. Where applicable, your continued use of the website is subject to the practices described in this policy.

This policy uses cautious language where a particular technology or data practice depends on the website's current configuration. It does not imply that every type of information or technology described below is used during every visit.

Information We Collect

The information handled through Monkey Type depends on how you interact with the website. It may include information you choose to provide, technical information processed as part of operating the website, and information used during a typing test.

Information you provide

You may voluntarily provide personal information when using the website's contact or newsletter forms. Depending on the form and the information you choose to submit, this may include:

• Your name;
• Your email address; and
• The contents of a message, inquiry, or support request.

The website's contact and newsletter forms operate through the WordPress environment using Contact Form 7. Monkey Type uses submitted information for the purpose connected to the relevant form.

Contact form information

When you submit a contact request, the information you provide may be used to respond to your inquiry, provide requested assistance, and communicate with you about the submitted request. Please avoid including sensitive personal information that is not necessary for us to address your inquiry.

Newsletter and email subscriptions

Newsletter subscription is voluntary. If you subscribe, the email address you submit may be used to send the newsletter or other email communication for which you registered. You may unsubscribe from marketing or newsletter messages where an unsubscribe mechanism is provided.

Automatically processed information

When a website is accessed, certain technical information may be received or processed automatically by the website, its hosting environment, or services used to operate it. Depending on the configuration and the nature of your visit, this information may include:

• IP address;
• Browser type and version;
• Device and operating-system information;
• General usage information;
• Pages visited; and
• Referring pages or sources.

Some technical information may be processed as part of delivering pages, maintaining functionality, diagnosing problems, securing the website, and protecting it against misuse. This does not mean that Monkey Type necessarily retains every listed data point for every visitor.

Typing-test information

Monkey Type provides a typing-test service. Text entered and performance information generated during a test may be processed as part of your interaction with the tool so that the test can function and display relevant results. This policy does not represent that typing-test results are permanently stored. The way such information is handled may depend on the tool's current implementation and the technical operation of your session.

How We Use Information

Where relevant to a visitor's interaction with Monkey Type, information may be used for the following purposes:

• Providing, operating, and maintaining the website and typing-test service;
• Responding to contact requests and providing requested assistance;
• Managing voluntary newsletter subscriptions and sending requested communications;
• Maintaining website functionality and improving usability;
• Monitoring website performance where appropriate technologies are enabled;
• Diagnosing technical issues;
• Protecting the website, its users, and its systems against abuse, fraud, and security threats;
• Enforcing applicable terms and protecting legal rights; and
• Complying with applicable legal obligations.

Monkey Type does not represent that personal information is used for advertising or shared with third parties for their own marketing purposes. Monkey Type does not sell personal information.

How information may be shared

Information may be disclosed only where reasonably necessary in circumstances such as:

• To service providers supporting the operation, maintenance, security, or communication functions of the website;
• To comply with applicable law, legal process, or a valid request from an authorized public body;
• To investigate misuse or protect the rights, safety, and security of Monkey Type, its users, or others; or
• In connection with a business reorganization, transfer, or similar change where legally applicable and subject to appropriate safeguards.

Any disclosure depends on the circumstances and the services in use. This policy does not imply that information is routinely disclosed in each of these situations.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies are small data files that a website may place on or read from a visitor's device. Websites may also use comparable technologies, such as local storage, to provide features, remember information, maintain security, or understand general usage.

Monkey Type may use cookies and similar technologies where necessary to operate, secure, remember preferences, or understand website usage. The availability and behavior of these technologies depend on the website configuration and the services currently in use.

These categories explain common purposes and do not mean that every category is active. You can use your browser settings to review, block, or delete cookies. Restricting essential storage may affect the operation of some website features.

Analytics

Analytics technologies may be used, where enabled, to understand general website usage, assess performance, identify technical issues, and improve the visitor experience. Information produced by analytics may include aggregated or technical details about visits and interactions.

This policy does not identify a particular analytics platform because no specific provider is confirmed here. If an analytics service is enabled, that service may process information under its own privacy policy and the agreements governing its use.

Third-Party Services

Monkey Type may rely on service providers to support functions such as hosting, website infrastructure, form processing, security, analytics, email communication, and other necessary technical operations.

A provider may process limited information when needed to perform its service, subject to its own privacy practices, applicable agreements, and legal obligations. The providers and technologies involved may change as the website's operational needs evolve. This policy does not imply that every category of provider listed above is currently used or that a particular provider receives personal information.

WordPress and Contact Form 7

Monkey Type operates in a WordPress environment, and its contact and newsletter forms use Contact Form 7. Information submitted through those forms may be processed within the website's form and communication workflow so that Monkey Type can handle the request or subscription. This statement does not make assumptions about a particular storage location or represent Contact Form 7 as a separate processor for every submission.

International users

Visitors may access Monkey Type from different locations. Information may be processed in locations where the website's service providers operate, subject to applicable law and the safeguards relevant to those services. This policy does not identify specific countries, data centers, or transfer arrangements that have not been confirmed.

Data Storage and Security

Monkey Type uses reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to help protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, and disclosure. The measures appropriate to particular information may vary according to its nature, how it is processed, and the systems involved.

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, Monkey Type cannot promise absolute security. Visitors should also take reasonable care when deciding what information to submit online.

Data Retention

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer period is required or permitted by applicable law.

The appropriate retention period may depend on:

• The purpose for which the information was collected;
• The time reasonably needed to respond to or manage a request;
• Operational and security requirements;
• Applicable legal and recordkeeping obligations; and
• The need to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims or resolve disputes.

Because these factors depend on the context, this policy does not state an unsupported fixed retention period or deletion schedule.

User Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights relating to your personal information. These may include the right to:

• Request access to certain personal information;
• Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
• Request deletion of certain information;
• Request restriction of certain processing;
• Object to certain processing;
• Request a copy of certain information in an available format; and
• Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.

These rights are not absolute and may not apply in every circumstance. Monkey Type may need to take reasonable steps to verify a request and may retain information where permitted or required by law.

To submit a privacy-related request, email support@monkey-type.io or contact Monkey Type support.

Children's Privacy

Monkey Type does not knowingly seek to collect personal information from children in circumstances where applicable law requires consent from a parent or guardian.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child has improperly provided personal information through the website, please contact support@monkey-type.io. Monkey Type will review the request and take appropriate action consistent with applicable law.

Links to Other Websites

Monkey Type may contain links to websites or resources operated by third parties. Monkey Type does not control and is not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of external websites.

When you follow an external link, review the privacy policy of the website you visit before providing personal information.

Policy Updates

Monkey Type may update this Privacy Policy when website practices, services, or applicable legal requirements change. When an update is made, the revised policy will be published on this page and the “Last updated” date will be changed to identify the current version.
