TwoKeys Privacy Policy

Plain-English, transparent overview of data handling and privacy.

The Short Version (TL;DR)

No accounts or passwords: You play anonymously; we never ask for your name, email, or personal details.
Your records stay on your device: High scores, test durations, and theme choices are stored strictly in your browser's local storage (localStorage) and are never sent to our servers.
No selling data: We do not sell, rent, or monetize your data, and we do not serve third-party ads.
Aggregate analytics only: We use Google Tag Manager (GTM-WRGG7FWL) to collect high-level, aggregate statistics (e.g. daily visitors and browser types) to understand how the benchmark is used.

1. What Stays on Your Device (Local Storage)

TwoKeys runs entirely client-side in your web browser. To preserve your high scores and preferences between visits, the app saves a few small items in your browser's localStorage:

twokeys_best_scores_v2: Your personal best alternating keystroke counts, speeds, and timestamps across the different test durations (10s, 30s, 60s, 2m, 5m, Free Play) and modes (Relaxed vs. Strict).
twokeys_theme: Your interface theme choice (Light, Dark, or System).
twokeys_sound_enabled: Whether audio feedback is enabled or muted.
twokeys_input_mode: Your preferred key pair (Q/W vs. O/P).

This data remains on your physical device. It is never uploaded to any server. You can erase all saved scores at any time by clicking the discrete "reset records" button at the bottom-left of the TwoKeys home screen, or by clearing your browser's site data.

2. Analytics & Google Tag Manager

We include Google Tag Manager (container ID GTM-WRGG7FWL) to gather general, aggregated traffic metrics through Google Analytics. This helps us understand visitor engagement, popular test modes, and device compatibility.

What Google Tag Manager may process:

Non-identifying technical metadata (browser engine, operating system, screen resolution, language).
General interaction metrics (page loads, button clicks, session duration).
Approximate geographic region (derived from masked/anonymized IP addresses).

We do not collect personal identifiers, do not enable cross-site remarketing, and do not link analytics data to individuals. For more details on Google's processing practices, consult Google's Privacy & Terms.

3. Cookies & Tracking Prevention

Google Analytics may use first-party cookies (such as _ga) to distinguish unique visitors across sessions.

You have full control over these cookies:

You can block or delete cookies anytime through your browser settings.
You can use privacy-focused extensions (such as uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger) or activate Global Privacy Control (GPC) / Do Not Track.
You can install the official Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

TwoKeys works 100% normally if cookies or analytics scripts are blocked. None of the core benchmarking features rely on external tracking.

4. Your Rights Under GDPR, CCPA & Privacy Laws

Under international privacy regulations (including the EU GDPR, UK GDPR, and California CCPA/CPRA):

Legal Basis: Non-essential analytics are processed on the basis of legitimate interest in monitoring site stability, performance, and general usage.
Rights of Access & Erasure: Because we do not store names, user accounts, emails, or server-side databases, we hold no personally identifiable records linking to your identity.
Local Data Removal: You have immediate and complete control to delete your locally stored scores at any moment using the "reset records" button.
