Typr offers social features that allow users to connect with other users.
Users can send friend requests to other users and accept or decline them. The following data is processed as part of the friends list feature:
Users can challenge friends to typing duels. Game results (WPM/keystrokes per minute, accuracy) are shared with the duel partner. Participation in duels is voluntary.
When participating in tournaments, display name, avatar and game results are shown to all tournament participants.
Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). The use of social features is voluntary. Friendships can be removed at any time, requests can be declined.
Typr offers a classroom feature that allows teachers to track their students' learning progress.
When student accounts are created by the teacher, the following data is processed:
No email address is collected for these accounts. Login is exclusively via username and password.
Students in the same classroom do not have access to other students' data. Only the teacher can view the performance data of all students in the classroom. There is no mutual visibility of student data within the classroom.
Teachers can export class data as a CSV file. The export contains only display names and performance data (WPM/keystrokes per minute, accuracy, level). No personal contact data (email addresses, dates of birth) is exported.
Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Joining a classroom is voluntary by entering the invitation code. For teacher-created accounts, the teacher is responsible for obtaining required consents. Students can leave the classroom at any time.
Registered users can receive optional email notifications on the following topics:
All email notifications are enabled by default and can be individually disabled at any time in the account settings.
Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for service-related notifications. The user can object at any time.
Teachers can create a user account directly through the registration form on the “For Teachers” page. At the same time, a request to activate teacher status is submitted, which is manually reviewed.
During registration, a user account with “Student” status is created. A confirmation email is sent to verify the email address. The school and role information is used for manual review and activation of teacher status by the operator.
Account data is stored permanently as long as the user account exists. Request data (school, role, message) is stored until processing and deleted no later than 90 days after activation or rejection.
Legal basis: Performance of contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) for account creation; consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) for the teacher activation request.
