Privacy Policy — TypeDrive

This Privacy Policy applies to the mobile application and web game TypeDrive (referred to as "the Game" or "the Application"), developed by TypeDrive Studios.

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any personal information. This policy clearly explains what data is collected, how it is handled, and your rights.

1. Information We Collect

TypeDrive collects only information strictly required for real-time multiplayer racing, speed leaderboards, and player progression:

• Public Game Profile: Chosen nickname, optional country code flag (for national rankings), racer level, words-per-minute (WPM) records, and in-game coins.
• Social & Guest Authentication (Optional): When you choose to authenticate with Google Play Games, Google, or Facebook, we receive only your public user identifier and display name to secure your cloud save. We never collect passwords, private contacts, or personal messages.
• Guest Mode: No personal data is required. An anonymous local device identifier is stored on your device to maintain your progress.

2. How We Use Collected Data

Information collected is used solely to:

• Synchronize live multiplayer race rooms with other players in real time.
• Compute global, national, and division leaderboard rankings.
• Save your unlocked vehicles, custom paint colors, and career trophies.
• Securely process in-game coin packages via official Google Play Billing.

3. Third-Party Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to any advertisers or third parties.

We work exclusively with standard, trusted services necessary for game operations:

• Google Play Services & Google Play Billing: For secure app distribution and in-app purchase handling.
• Live WebSocket Infrastructure: Encrypted game servers to manage active race lobbies without permanently storing keystroke logs.

4. Data Security

All network communications between the TypeDrive client and servers are encrypted using industry standard protocols (HTTPS / WSS). Raw keystroke entries typed during races are never stored on our servers; only aggregate race statistics (WPM, accuracy percentage, finish time) are saved.

5. Children's Privacy

TypeDrive is an educational and competitive typing racing game suitable for all ages (PEGI 3 / Everyone). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13 years of age.

6. Data Retention and Account Deletion

In accordance with GDPR, CCPA, and Google Play developer policies, you have the right to request access to or permanent deletion of your player data at any time. Simply contact us at the support email provided below.
