Privacy Policy
Overview
Williamson Consulting Services ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you visit ftyping.com, use the F Typing application, or interact with our online services.
F Typing is a web-based typing education application. We collect limited information needed to operate the site, provide the typing experience, gather voluntary feedback to improve the product, and fulfill legal obligations.
Information we collect
We may collect the following types of information:
- Feedback you voluntarily provide when you use the debrief form after a demo session, such as a name or nickname, age range, role, typed thoughts, and an optional email address. This is submitted only when you check the consent checkbox.
- Technical information automatically collected by our hosting provider (Firebase Hosting) when you visit the site, such as IP address, browser type, device type, and pages viewed. This is standard server and security logging managed by Google/Firebase.
- Browser user-agent string submitted with debrief feedback for quality-assurance purposes (identifying browser-specific rendering issues).
- Your privacy acknowledgment, stored in your browser's localStorage so we can remember you saw the notice.
- Debrief form drafts, stored in your browser's localStorage so you can resume where you left off. These are not sent to our servers until you consent.
How we use information
We use information to operate and improve F Typing, analyze voluntary feedback to guide product decisions and go-to-market strategy, respond to inquiries, and comply with law. We do not sell your personal information.
When you provide an email address and check the email consent checkbox, we may send you updates about F Typing. You can unsubscribe at any time.
Cookies and storage technologies
We group storage technologies into the following categories:
- Essential: localStorage used for remembering your consent choice, debrief form draft state, and demo session preferences. These run without a separate opt-in because they are necessary for the site to function.
- Analytics: we use Umami, a privacy-focused, cookieless analytics tool, to understand how visitors use the site. Umami does not collect personal data, does not use cookies, and does not track users across sites. Analytics data is aggregated and cannot identify individual visitors. You may accept or decline analytics when the consent banner appears.
We do not use marketing measurement tools, tracking pixels, or advertising cookies.
Third-party fonts loaded from Google Fonts may involve your browser contacting Google servers. See Google's privacy policy for how they handle that traffic.
Your choices
On your first visit, we show a consent banner. You can Accept to enable both essential storage and analytics, or Decline to keep essential storage only. Your choice is saved in localStorage and you will not be asked again unless the consent terms change.
You can clear your browser's localStorage at any time to remove all locally stored data, including debrief form drafts and your consent choice. The banner will reappear on your next visit.
The debrief form is entirely voluntary. You can use F Typing without submitting any feedback.
How we share information
We share information with service providers that help us run the business: website hosting (Google Firebase), and email communication services if you opt in to updates. We require service providers to use information only to perform services for us. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights, users, or others.
Debrief feedback is shared with the F Typing product team for analysis and product improvement, as stated in the consent notice on the form.
Data retention and security
We retain debrief feedback for as long as it is useful for product development, unless you request deletion. Hosting logs are retained according to Firebase's practices. Privacy acknowledgments in your browser do not expire automatically but can be cleared by you at any time. We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information, but no website or transmission is completely secure.
Your rights
You may contact us to ask questions about this policy or request access, correction, or deletion of personal information we hold, subject to applicable law. California residents may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA).
If you are in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you may have rights under applicable data protection law, including access, correction, deletion, and restriction, and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
Children's privacy
F Typing is designed as an educational tool suitable for use by learners of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent. The debrief form is voluntary and does not require personal information to use the typing experience. Parents and guardians may contact us to request deletion of any information submitted by a child.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Effective" date at the top shows when it was last revised. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
