Privacy

Your typing stays yours.

Tactus is built to measure how you type without ever sending it anywhere. Everything the app records — every keystroke, every bigram, every millisecond — lives on your own machine. The only personal data we hold right now is the email you choose to leave for the beta list.

Last updated June 1, 2026 · applies to the pre-launch site & beta
01 · Local-first

Measured on your machine.

Your keystroke timings are computed and stored on the device you type on. There is no cloud copy and no sync — the data physically can't leak from a server we don't keep.

02 · Offline by default

The app needs no network.

Tactus runs fully offline. It doesn't phone home, doesn't stream telemetry, and doesn't need an internet connection to measure, find, or drill your slow pairs.

03 · No account

Nothing to log into.

There's no sign-up, no password, no profile. You don't hand us an identity to use the app — so there's nothing for us to lose, sell, or get subpoenaed for.

04 · No tracking pixels

No ad-tech on this page.

This site carries no third-party trackers, advertising scripts, or cross-site cookies. We don't build a profile of you as you read.

Two different things

The app and this website handle data very differently — here's the honest split.

The Tactus app

Stays entirely on your device.

Everything the app measures about how you type is yours alone. We never receive it.

  • Keystroke timings & bigram speeds — stored locally
  • Your drills and progress — stored locally
  • The words you type are never recorded or sent
  • No cloud sync, no server copy, no analytics
This pre-launch site

Holds one thing: your email.

If — and only if — you join the beta list, we store the address you give us so we can write to you.

  • Your email address, to send a launch note
  • No name, ad profile, or cross-site tracking
  • No selling or sharing with third parties
  • No marketing drip — one email, then quiet
In plain language

Every piece of data, where it lives, and who can see it.

What it isWhere it livesWho can see it
Keystroke timingson your deviceOnly you. It never reaches us — there's no server to send it to.
Drill history & progresson your deviceOnly you. Delete the app and it's gone with it.
Beta-list emailour databaseUs only, and only to send a launch note. Removed the moment you ask.
Hashed IP (signup only)our databaseUs only, for rate limiting and abuse prevention. We store a one-way hash — not your raw IP address — and never use it for profiling.
Site analyticsnot collectedNo one. We run no third-party analytics on this site.
Your control

The email is yours to take back.

01

See what we hold

Write to us and we'll tell you exactly what's tied to your address — which, on the pre-launch site, is just the address itself.

02

Be removed

Ask to come off the list and we delete your email — no “are you sure” loops, no retention window. Email us to be removed.

03

Wipe the app's data

Because everything the app stores is local, you're always in control: clearing the app's data or uninstalling it removes every measurement permanently.

A question we haven't answered?

Privacy shouldn't take a lawyer to read. If anything here is unclear — or you'd like the long version when we ship — just ask.
