Privacy policy

Who is responsible

AlphaType is operated by Dagem Tegegne, Switzerland. For any privacy question or request, write to info@alphatype.ch.

Practising without an account

Settings, lesson progress, statistics and custom texts are saved in your browser’s local storage on this device. They are not sent to us. Clearing your browser data removes them.

Accounts

If you create an account we store your email address, your optional first name, last name and public username, and a salted hash of your password. We never store the password itself.

If you sign in with Google, Google sends us your email address and basic profile name. We do not receive your Google password.

While you are signed in, a necessary session cookie (flowkeys_session) keeps you logged in. To limit sign-in abuse we count attempts using a hashed value derived from the IP address; the address itself is not stored.

With an account, typing and shortcut progress and saved custom lessons are synchronised to our database so that you can use them on another device.

Reviews and feedback

A review or feedback post that you publish is shown publicly together with your username and rating. Do not include personal data about yourself or others. You can ask us to remove a post at any time.

Email

We send email only for account purposes such as a password reset. Delivery is handled by Resend, which processes your email address for that purpose.

Hosting and security

The website and its database run on Cloudflare infrastructure. As with any website, your IP address and technical request data are processed to deliver pages and to protect the service.

Analytics

Cloudflare Web Analytics counts visits without cookies and without identifying you.

No analytics cookies are set and no session recordings are made.

Fonts and voices

Fonts are served from our own website; no font request is sent to a third party.

Spoken guidance uses the voices of your browser and operating system. Depending on the voice you choose, your browser may send the text to be spoken to its vendor’s speech service.

Transfers abroad

Cloudflare, Google and Resend may process data in other countries, including the United States. Where required, transfers rely on recognised safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or the Swiss–US Data Privacy Framework.

Retention and deletion

Account data is kept until you ask us to delete the account. To delete your account and its data, write to info@alphatype.ch from the account’s email address. Password-reset tokens expire automatically.

Your rights

You can ask for access to your data, for correction or deletion, and you can object to processing or withdraw consent. Write to info@alphatype.ch. You may also contact the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) or, in the EU, your local supervisory authority.

Changes

We update this policy when the service changes. The date below shows the latest version.
