• Email address and hashed password used for login

How we use your data

We process your personal data to:

• Enable login and account management
• Respond to inquiries
• Ensure security and prevent abuse
• Improve the website and user experience
• Track user progress and display race history
• Store and manage in-game items and virtual currency

The legal basis for processing your data is the performance of a contract (your use of the service), and our legitimate interest in maintaining the security and functionality of the site.

Data sharing

We do not sell your data. We may share it with trusted service providers (such as hosting providers) only when necessary for providing our services, and only under appropriate data protection agreements.

Data location

Your data is stored on servers hosted by OVH in France. We do not transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

Data security

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Your data is stored securely in our PostgreSQL database with access limited to authorized personnel only. While we strive to protect your information, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your rights

Under EU law, you have the right to access, rectify, or delete your personal data, restrict or object to its processing, and lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. You may also request a copy of your data in a portable format.

Automated decision-making

We do not use your personal data for automated decision-making or profiling.

Data retention

Session data is stored in your browser as session cookies which expire when you close your browser. Additionally, if you select the "remember me" option at login, a persistent cookie is stored for 14 days to keep you logged in. We retain other personal data only as long as necessary to provide our services or comply with legal obligations.

Game data

To provide and enhance the core gameplay experience, we store data related to your races and in-game progression. This includes your typing race history, performance (e.g. WPM, rank, finish time), and virtual currency status. All in-game currency can be earned only through gameplay and is not linked to real-world payments.

Skins and customizations are acquired using this currency and are stored in your account. This data is not shared with third parties and is used exclusively to personalize your experience within the game.

Children's data

This website is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
