We collect information from you directly when you create an account. TypingTraining.com may then send one or more cookies to your browser as necessary to provide the service's functionality. The information you provide will include: name, email address, phone number, postal address, username, password, school or organization name (if applicable), and payment method (if applicable).

Teachers and administrators may create accounts for children and students. The information collected to create these accounts includes:

By establishing an account, you can save and track your performance on the web site. For schools and organizations, this includes the tracking of performance for students.

For all types of account holders, the following information is collected automatically.

Sharing and Use of Information

Information collected is only used for educational purposes. It is never shared with third parties and is not used for targeted advertising. The usage is limited to the following:

Our site uses Google Analytics. Google Analytics places a cookie on your web browser and collects your IP address. It does not collect names or other identifying account information. We use this information to diagnose problems, for administration, and to improve the site. Google Analytics data is not used for remarketing, targeted advertising, or any similar purpose. The relevent options for this are disabled in our Google Analytics account.

When optionally purchasing a paid account, a payment processing service, authorize.net, directly collects all personal payment information. Payment status information is shared with us. We will not sell, share, or disclose this information. See the privacy policy for authorize.net for additional information.

We will share information if required in order to comply with the law or to protect ourselves against third party claims.

Additional Provisions for Schools and School Districts

FERPA and COPPA Compliance

TypingTraining.com is compliant with the provisions in the Children's Online Privacy and Protection Act (COPPA) and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). Children in a school may use our site provided that the school has complied with its responsibilities under the FERPA and COPPA. If a teacher or school official has consented to our collection of information from children who are students in a manner consistent with COPPA, we will collect and use such personal information. This consent can be revoked and student information removed at any time.

Ownership of Student Records

Student records are considered to be the property of the school district. Authorized employees of the district have full authority to view, download, modify, and delete records as desired. This includes the ability to obtain records for the purpose of sharing with students and their parents.

Student Access to Records and Personal Information

Students and their parents have full access to the student's personally generated content. This includes scores obtained and text entered while working on the typing course activities. This information may be viewed and downloaded from the "Reports" area after logging into the student's account.

Errors in records or in personal information may be reported to a teacher, therapist, administrator, or similar individual who can made corrections using an administrator account.

Retention of Student Information

Upon expiry of a subscription, student records are maintained in our database for a minimum of one year. This prevents the loss of student records during normal gaps in a subscription, such as a summer break when access to the web site is not needed.

Starting one year after subscription expiry, accounts that are no longer active (and their associated records) are subject to deletion from our database. This decision on when and if to delete is based on business or technical need. For example, records may be deleted in order to free up computing resources. Upon customer request, student records can be deleted at an earlier or later time.

Use of Student Information

Student information is strictly used for eductational purposes as previously described. Additionally, students will never by contacted by us via email for marketing and promotional purposes.

Parent's Rights

Parents have the right to review and request deletion of any personal information that the site has collected and retained about their child. If you would like to request that we delete any personal information we may have about your child (such as username, password, and performance information) or to request no further collection of personal information from your child, please contact us at .
