Effective Date: March 25, 2026
1. Introduction
Welcome to BossTyper ("we," "us," or "our"), a competitive typing trainer and game operated by BOSS Software ("Blazendary") and accessible at bosstyper.com.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you use our website and services. By using BossTyper, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
2. Information We Collect
Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your email address, username, and display name. Authentication is handled through Supabase Auth (email/password, with Google OAuth planned).
Typing and Game Data: We collect your typing scores (words per minute, accuracy), XP, level progression, game history, achievement progress, and leaderboard rankings.
Usage Data: We may collect general usage information such as pages visited, game modes played, and session duration to improve the service.
Guest Users: If you play without an account, we may store limited score data associated with a temporary session identifier. No personal information is required to use BossTyper as a guest.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide and maintain the BossTyper typing game and its features
- Track your typing progress, XP, levels, and achievements

- Enable multiplayer features (races, arenas, bot races)
- Send service-related communications (e.g., account verification)
- Improve and optimize the application
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
4. Data Storage and Security
Your data is stored in a Supabase-managed PostgreSQL database hosted in the United States. We use industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS), secure authentication tokens, and row-level security policies to protect your data.
While we take reasonable precautions to protect your information, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.
5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Authentication Cookies: We use cookies and local storage to maintain your login session and user preferences.
Google AdSense: We use Google AdSense to serve advertisements. Google may use cookies and web beacons to serve ads based on your prior visits to BossTyper or other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
Analytics: We may use Google Analytics or similar tools to understand how users interact with BossTyper. These tools may collect anonymous usage data such as page views and session duration.
6. Third-Party Services
BossTyper uses the following third-party services:
- Supabase — authentication and database (stores account and game data)
- Vercel — hosting and deployment
- Google AdSense — advertising
- Google Analytics — usage analytics (if enabled)
Each of these services has its own privacy policy governing how they handle data. We encourage you to review their policies.
7. Children's Privacy (COPPA)
BossTyper is used in educational settings, including schools and classrooms. We are committed to protecting the privacy of children under 13 years of age.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without verifiable parental or school consent. If BossTyper is used in a classroom setting, we rely on the school to obtain appropriate parental consent under COPPA and applicable laws.
The only information collected from student accounts is what is necessary to provide the typing education service: username, typing scores, and progress data. We do not serve personalized advertisements to users identified as children under 13.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information without your consent, please contact us at dev@blazendary.com and we will promptly delete the information.
