Privacy Policy
In short: You can play without an email, a password or your real name. We create a random pilot ID for you. We store your game numbers and your typing stats so the shared rocket, the leaderboards and your stats page work. We do not run ads, analytics or tracking cookies, and we never sell data. You can delete everything at any time from Stats → Delete my data.

2. What we process and why
| Data | Purpose | Legal basis (GDPR) |
|---|---|---|
| Anonymous pilot ID: a random identifier created the first time you open the game, plus a sign-in token kept in your browser | Recognise your browser so your progress is kept | Art. 6(1)(b): providing the game you asked to use |
| Callsign (optional), country flag and rocket paint you choose | Show you on leaderboards and in mission results; country rankings | Art. 6(1)(b) |
| Game counters: words and characters typed, best words-per-minute, your share of each crew mission, timestamps | Move the shared rocket, run leaderboards and missions, apply fair-play limits | Art. 6(1)(b); Art. 6(1)(f) for fair play |
| Typing stats: your sessions (time, words, speed, accuracy, difficulty), words per day, error rates per key | Your private stats page. Visible only to you | Art. 6(1)(b) |
| Live status while the page is open: whether you are typing, your current speed, rocket mode, flag, paint, and the words you complete | Show online counts and escort rockets to other players in real time. Sent live, not stored | Art. 6(1)(b) |
| Technical data: IP address, browser type, request times | Deliver the site, keep it secure, stop abuse and bots | Art. 6(1)(f): security and abuse prevention |
We do not collect your name, email, phone number or precise location. When you first visit, the game guesses a flag from your browser language. That guess happens in your browser and is only saved if you keep that flag.
3. What other players can see
Your callsign (or “A pilot” if you have none), your flag and your word counts appear on public leaderboards. The top three pilots of each finished mission are listed in the mission history. Your typing stats are never shown to others.
4. Service providers
We use two providers who process data on our behalf under data processing agreements:
- Supabase Inc. (database, anonymous sign-in, real-time connection). Game data is stored in Supabase's [REGION, e.g. EU (Frankfurt)] region.
- Cloudflare Inc. (website hosting and delivery, DNS, protection against attacks, and the optional “Turnstile” check that a visitor is human).
Both companies are based in the United States and may process data outside your country. Where data leaves the EU/EEA, this is covered by the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses included in their data processing agreements. The site loads its fonts and code from our own domain. No data goes to Google Fonts, ad networks or analytics services.
5. Storage in your browser
We do not set cookies. The game uses your browser's local storage for things it needs to work: your sign-in token, settings (flag, paint, callsign, difficulty, whether you saw the intro), and a local copy of your progress and stats. If Turnstile is enabled, Cloudflare may use storage needed for its security check. Because all of this is strictly necessary for the game you request, no consent banner is required. You can clear it at any time in your browser settings.
6. How long we keep data
- Your pilot data and stats are kept until you delete them.
- Pilots that never typed a word are removed after 30 days. Pilots inactive for 24 months are removed automatically.
- Mission totals and country totals are kept as anonymous statistics.
- Technical logs at our providers are kept for a short period set by them, usually days to weeks.
7. Your rights
You have the right to access, correct, delete and port your data, to object to processing based on legitimate interests, and to restrict processing. The fastest way to delete everything is Stats → Delete my data in the game. It removes your pilot, stats and callsign, including from past mission results. For any other request, email privacy@typonauts.com and include your pilot ID if you can. We answer within one month. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.
8. Children
Typonauts is a general-audience typing game and asks for no personal details. If you are under 16 (or the age of digital consent in your country), please play with a parent's permission and do not use your real name as a callsign.
9. Security
All traffic is encrypted (HTTPS). The database only accepts changes through checked server functions, and each pilot can read only their own private data.
10. Changes
If we change this policy we will update the date above. For important changes we will show a notice in the game.
