Privacy Policy
Welcome to ASLTyping.com. Your privacy matters to us. We want ASLTyping to be a place where people can learn, practice, create, and explore with confidence. Part of earning that confidence is being clear about what information may be collected when you use our website, why we may need it, and what choices you have. This Privacy Policy explains how ASLTyping (“ASLTyping,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) may collect, use, store, and protect information when you visit or interact with ASLTyping.com, create an account, contact us, subscribe to communications, use our tools or games, or otherwise interact with our services. We have tried to write this policy in plain language rather than make it unnecessarily difficult to understand.
1. Information We May Collect
The information we collect depends on how you use ASLTyping. You can browse many parts of our website without directly telling us who you are.

Passwords are intended to be handled through our website’s account and authentication system. Our team does not need to know your password in order to provide ordinary support.

5. Contact Forms
When you contact ASLTyping through a contact form, we may receive the information you enter into that form, such as your name, email address, subject, message, and any other information you voluntarily provide. We use that information primarily to read and respond to your message and, when appropriate, to follow up on your request. Submitting a contact form does not automatically subscribe you to marketing communications unless that choice is clearly presented and you choose it.6. Email and Newsletter Communications
ASLTyping may offer newsletters or other optional email communications. If you voluntarily subscribe, we may use the email address and related subscription information you provide to send those communications. Our newsletter may include educational resources, ASL-related updates, new tools, website news, interesting content, and other information we believe may be useful to our readers. Where required, marketing emails will include a way to unsubscribe. If you unsubscribe from optional marketing communications, we may still send necessary service-related messages—for example, messages related to your account, security, or a request you made.7. Cookies and Similar Technologies
ASLTyping and services used on our website may use cookies and similar technologies. A cookie is a small piece of data that a website or service may store through your browser. Cookies can serve different purposes, including:- keeping you signed in;
- remembering preferences;
- maintaining website functionality;
- improving security;
- understanding website usage;
- measuring performance;
- supporting analytics; and
- supporting advertising where advertising is used.
8. Analytics
We may use analytics services to better understand how visitors use ASLTyping. Analytics can help us answer practical questions such as:- Which pages are useful to visitors?
- Which tools are being used?
- Are visitors experiencing technical problems?
- Which devices or browsers should we optimize for?
- How do people generally discover our website?
9. Advertising and Google AdSense
ASLTyping may display advertising now or in the future, including advertising provided through services such as Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies or similar technologies to serve advertisements. Google and its advertising partners may use advertising cookies to show ads based on a user’s visit to ASLTyping and/or other websites on the Internet. Depending on the user’s location, consent choices, applicable law, and advertising configuration, advertisements may be personalized, non-personalized, or otherwise limited. Third-party advertising providers may place or read cookies in your browser or use technologies such as web beacons, IP addresses, or other identifiers in connection with advertising and measurement. Users may have options to control or opt out of personalized advertising through the relevant advertising provider’s privacy or advertising settings. Advertising helps websites support the cost of creating, maintaining, and improving free resources. However, the presence of an advertisement does not automatically mean that ASLTyping personally recommends, endorses, or guarantees the advertised product or service. Please also see our Advertising Policy for more information about how we approach advertising.10. Consent Choices for Certain Regions
Privacy and cookie requirements differ around the world. Where required by applicable law, visitors may be shown a consent message that provides choices regarding cookies, advertising, analytics, or related data processing. For example, visitors in certain European regions may receive additional choices regarding the use of cookies or personal data for advertising purposes. Your available options may depend on your location, the technologies currently active on ASLTyping, and applicable legal requirements. Where a consent-management tool is provided, you may use the options available through that tool to manage applicable choices.11. Affiliate Links
ASLTyping may in the future participate in affiliate programs or include affiliate links to books, educational materials, products, services, or other resources that we believe may be relevant to our audience. If you click an affiliate link, the third-party website or affiliate network may use cookies or similar tracking technologies to recognize that the visit came from ASLTyping. If you later make a qualifying purchase or take another qualifying action, we may receive a commission or other compensation, generally without increasing the price you pay solely because you used our affiliate link. The third-party website’s own privacy policy governs the information it collects from you after you leave ASLTyping. Affiliate relationships will be disclosed where appropriate. Please see our Affiliate Disclosure for additional information.12. Third-Party Websites and Services
ASLTyping may link to websites, services, books, educational resources, social platforms, affiliate partners, advertisers, or other third-party resources. Once you leave ASLTyping and visit another website, that website operates under its own terms and privacy practices. We do not control how independent third-party websites collect, use, or protect your information. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any external website or service before providing personal information.13. Free Tools, Games and User Input
Some ASLTyping tools may ask you to enter a word, name, phrase, or other information so the tool can generate a result or provide an interactive experience. We do not want visitors to enter sensitive personal information into a tool unless the feature specifically requires it and clearly explains why. For example, if a tool asks for a name to create a fingerspelling result, consider whether you are comfortable entering that information. Depending on how a particular tool operates, technical information about its use may still be processed through our website, hosting environment, security systems, analytics services, or related technologies. Individual tools may also provide additional notices where appropriate.14. Children’s Privacy
ASLTyping may contain educational resources that are useful to families, teachers, and younger learners. However, the availability of child-friendly educational content does not mean that every website feature is designed for children to use independently. We encourage parents, guardians, and educators to supervise children’s online activities and help them understand safe internet practices. Children should not submit unnecessary personal information through contact forms, accounts, tools, or other interactive features. Where specific laws impose additional requirements concerning children’s personal information, we aim to handle applicable services consistently with those requirements. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child has provided personal information to ASLTyping inappropriately, please contact us so that we can review the situation.15. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information simply because you use ASLTyping. We may, however, need to share or make information available to service providers that help us operate the website. Depending on the services we use, these may include providers involved in:- website hosting;
- email delivery;
- account or authentication functionality;
- website security;
- spam prevention;
- analytics;
- advertising;
- consent management;
- technical support; and
- other services necessary to operate ASLTyping.
16. Data Retention
We do not intend to keep personal information longer than reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. How long information is retained may depend on factors such as:- the type of information;
- why it was collected;
- whether you maintain an account;
- whether the information is needed to respond to a request;
- security and fraud-prevention needs;
- technical backup processes; and
- applicable legal or regulatory requirements.
17. Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the information handled through ASLTyping. These may include appropriate website security practices, secure connections, account controls, software updates, access restrictions, spam protection, and other technical or administrative measures. However, no website, database, transmission method, or online service can guarantee absolute security. For that reason, we encourage users to use strong passwords, avoid reusing passwords across services, keep devices secure, and avoid submitting sensitive information when it is unnecessary.18. Your Privacy Choices and Rights
Depending on where you live, applicable privacy law may give you certain rights regarding personal information. These may include rights to:- request access to certain personal information;
- request correction of inaccurate information;
- request deletion in certain circumstances;
- object to or restrict certain processing;
- withdraw consent where processing depends on consent;
- opt out of certain marketing communications;
- manage certain cookie or advertising preferences; and
- exercise other rights provided by applicable law.
19. International Visitors
ASLTyping is available online and may be visited by people from different countries. As a result, information may be processed in countries other than the country where a visitor lives, including where our hosting, email, analytics, advertising, security, or other service providers operate. Privacy laws differ between jurisdictions. Where required, we aim to use appropriate mechanisms and practices for handling personal information across jurisdictions.20. Spam and Abuse Prevention
To keep ASLTyping safe and usable, we may use security or anti-spam technologies on account registration, login pages, forms, comments, or other interactive areas. These technologies may process technical information to distinguish legitimate visitors from automated abuse, malicious activity, or spam. Protecting the website from abuse also helps protect our visitors and our team.21. Do Not Send Sensitive Information Unless Necessary
Please use good judgment when communicating with us. Our general contact forms and learning tools are not intended for submitting highly sensitive information such as passwords, financial account details, government identification numbers, detailed medical records, or similarly sensitive information. If we do not need sensitive information to help you, please do not send it.22. Changes to This Privacy Policy
ASLTyping is growing, and the technologies and services we use may change over time. We may therefore update this Privacy Policy when necessary to reflect:- new website features;
- changes to our tools;
- new service providers;
- advertising or affiliate programs;
- changes in data practices;
- legal or regulatory developments; or
- improvements to the way we explain our privacy practices.
