Learn what the extension handles, why it handles it, where data stays, and how you can control or remove local progress.

Extension v1.1.2Last updated: August 2, 2026

Privacy summary

The extension does not send your typing activity, lesson progress, selected webpage text, settings, or results to TypingTutor.Online or third parties. This information is processed and stored locally in Chrome.

This policy applies specifically to the TypingTutor.Online – Learn & Practice Typing Chrome extension. The TypingTutor.Online website has a separate website privacy policy.

Information the extension handles

Learning settings and progress

The extension may store your selected learning level, current beginner lesson, completed and unlocked lessons, accuracy status, daily goal, streak, theme, reminder preference, and recent practice results.

Typing activity inside the extension

During a lesson or practice session, the extension processes typed characters, mistakes, time, WPM, accuracy, text completion, and lesson completion. This is required to provide immediate feedback and save progress.

Selected webpage text

When you select text on a webpage and deliberately choose Practice typing selected text, Chrome provides that selected text to the extension. It is used to create the requested local exercise. The extension does not continuously read page content and has no host permissions.

Reminder settings

If you enable a reminder, the extension stores the selected reminder time and uses Chrome’s alarms and notifications features.

How information is used

  • Provide beginner lessons and progress continuity
  • Calculate WPM, accuracy, errors, time, and completion
  • Measure daily-goal completion and streaks
  • Create a user-requested selected-text exercise
  • Remember appearance and reminder preferences
  • Display optional local notifications

Local storage and retention

Extension data is stored using Chrome’s extension storage in the current browser profile. It remains until you reset it, clear extension data, remove the extension, or Chrome removes it according to browser behavior.

No cloud synchronization service operated by TypingTutor.Online is used by this extension.

Data sharing, selling, and advertising

  • We do not sell extension user data.
  • We do not share extension user data with advertisers or data brokers.
  • The extension contains no advertising or analytics.
  • Extension data is not used for personalized advertising.
  • Humans at TypingTutor.Online cannot read locally stored extension data because it is not transmitted to us.

Chrome permissions

The extension requests storage, contextMenus, alarms, and notifications. It requests no host permissions. See the full permissions explanation.

Your controls

  • Do not use selected-text practice unless you want the selected text handled locally.
  • Keep reminders disabled or turn them off at any time.
  • Reset lesson progress and practice history from extension settings.
  • Remove the extension from Chrome to remove its local extension storage from that Chrome profile.

Children’s privacy

The extension can be used by learners of different ages, including children with parent, guardian, or teacher supervision. It does not request names, email addresses, accounts, precise location, payment information, or personal communications.

Security

All extension code is packaged with the submitted extension. It does not download or execute remote code. Keeping data local reduces transmission risk, but no local device or browser environment can be guaranteed completely secure.

Chrome Web Store Limited Use

The TypingTutor.Online Chrome Extension’s use of information complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

Changes to this policy

Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Changes that require new permissions or materially different data handling will also be reflected in the extension listing and release notes.
