For parents

Children’s Privacy Notice

Before you add a child under 13, here is what we collect, why, and what you can do about it at any time.

Who we are

The Typing Cat (thetypingcat.com) teaches typing. Contact us at info@thetypingcat.com about anything in this notice.

What we collect about your child

InformationWhy
First name or nicknameGreet the child and show you their progress
Birth yearPick the right course and lesson length
Avatar and buddy, chosen from our cartoon setThe child’s home screen
Typing results: speed, accuracy, lessons and starsLessons, rewards and your parent dashboard
Accuracy per key (not the text typed)Suggest the keys to practise

The child has no email address, password, photograph, location or contact details with us, and cannot message anyone. The child uses your session, so we do not record their IP address separately.

How we use it, and who receives it

Only to provide the lessons to you and your child. We do not show children adverts, send them marketing, record their sessions, load third-party analytics on their pages, list them publicly, or use their information to train AI models. We never sell it.

The service providers that store and run the site for us (Supabase for the database, Vercel for hosting, Sentry for error reports) process it only on our behalf; see the subprocessors page. We share it with no one else, so there is no separate consent to give for third parties.

Your rights

  • See everything your child has done from your parent dashboard.
  • Change or correct their name, birth year and avatar at any time.
  • Delete the child, which erases their information from our live systems at once and cannot be undone; backup copies expire on our database provider’s schedule.
  • Withdraw consent, which deletes the child.
  • Ask us at info@thetypingcat.com for a copy of what we hold.

How long we keep it

Until you delete the child or your own account. Details are in the retention policy.

At school

If your child uses The Typing Cat through their school, the school consents for you and controls the data. See the Student Data Privacy Notice, and contact the school about your child’s records.
