TypeDrift does not store your full credit card number. Stripe may collect and process payment information according to its own privacy and security practices.<\/p>\n<h2>Google Sign-In<\/h2>\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.7;\">If you choose to sign in with Google, TypeDrift may receive basic account information such as your email address and profile name so your progress and paid access can be associated with your account.<\/p>\n<h2>Email Sign-In<\/h2>\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.7;\">If you use email sign-in, TypeDrift may store your email address and related session information so you can access your account, sync progress, and use account-based features.<\/p>\n<h2>Wikipedia Mode<\/h2>\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.7;\">Wikipedia Mode allows you to search for, save, and type content from Wikipedia articles. TypeDrift may store recent and favorite Wikipedia articles in browser storage and, if you are signed in, may sync that information with your TypeDrift account. TypeDrift is not affiliated with Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation.<\/p>\n<h2>Custom Text<\/h2>\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.7;\">TypeDrift may allow you to paste your own text for typing practice. Depending on how you use the app and whether sync is enabled, some settings or content-related state may be stored locally or synced with your account. Do not paste sensitive personal information, confidential information, or content you do not have the right to use.<\/p>\n<h2>Analytics<\/h2>\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.7;\">TypeDrift uses analytics to understand how people use the app, such as which modes are selected, whether runs are completed or exited early, which features are used, and which upgrade paths are interacted with. Analytics are used to improve the product. TypeDrift does not use analytics to record every keystroke as personal content.<\/p>\n<h2>Local Storage and Cookies<\/h2>\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.7;\">TypeDrift uses local storage, cookies, and similar browser technologies to remember settings, progress, preferences, article history, favorites, licenses, session state, and feature history. Clearing browser data may reset local progress or preferences unless your data has been synced to an account.<\/p>\n<h2>Cloud Sync<\/h2>\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.7;\">If you sign in, TypeDrift may sync selected app data to your account, such as progress, stats, achievements, settings, preferences, article history, and other supported app state. This helps preserve progress across devices.<\/p>\n<h2>Data Sharing<\/h2>\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.7;\">We do not sell your personal information.
