1. Introduction

Skill Focus Lab ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website skillfocuslab.org (the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website and use our services.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

  • Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and password (stored as a one-way hash — we never store your actual password).
  • Subscription Information: If you subscribe to our Pro plan, payment is processed by PayPal. We store your PayPal subscription ID but do not store credit card numbers or financial details.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically

  • Usage Data: For Pro members, we store typing test results (WPM, accuracy, scores), grammar check statistics, lesson progress, and focus timer sessions to provide analytics and progress tracking.
  • Cookies: We use a session cookie (psh_session) to keep you logged in. This cookie expires after 30 days.
  • Analytics: We use Google Analytics to collect anonymous usage statistics such as pages visited, time on site, and device information. This data cannot be used to personally identify you.
  • Advertising: We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings.

2.3 Information We Do NOT Collect

  • We do not collect data from non-registered users. If you use our tools without an account, all data stays in your browser's local storage and is never sent to our servers.
  • We do not store the text you type in the typing test or grammar checker — only aggregate statistics (WPM, accuracy, error count).
  • We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

Your data is stored on Cloudflare's global network using their D1 database service. Cloudflare provides enterprise-grade security including encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and at rest.
