This Privacy Policy explains what information Drawfitti collects when you use the website or the Drawfitti app, why we collect it, and what choices you have. Drawfitti is operated by Drawfitti LLC, a Georgia limited liability company, based in Georgia, USA. Because anyone in the world can view or use Drawfitti, this policy is written to also cover visitors from the EU, UK, and elsewhere.
| Category | What it includes | Why we collect it |
|---|---|---|
| Account info | Your email address (if you sign up with email/password or Google) | To create and secure your account, send important notices, and let you recover access |
| Anonymized user ID | A randomly generated identifier tied to your account, not derived from your name or email | To track your daily stroke count, purchases, and which strokes are "yours" for erasing purposes, without displaying your identity publicly on the board |
| Username and messages | The username you choose, chat and direct messages you send, your friends list, the people you block, and reports you make | To show your name next to your messages, run chat and friends, hide people you've blocked, and review reports of objectionable content |
| Drawing data | Each stroke you draw: color, line width, coordinates, and timestamp | To render the shared board in real time for all viewers, to let you erase your own strokes, and to enforce daily stroke limits |
| Photos you post | Photos you post to the feed, your caption, who can see each one (World or Friends), your drawing settings (including any areas you "tape off"), and the likes and drawings other people add to them. Before uploading, Drawfitti shrinks your photo and removes the hidden information cameras store inside photos (such as location and camera details). | To show your photos in the feed and on your profile to the people you chose, to let others draw on them, and to check them for nudity and violence before anyone else can see them (see Section 4) |
| Profile picture | A photo you upload or a picture you draw for your profile, and the letter color you pick | To show next to your name across the feed, on your profile, and in messages. Profile pictures are checked the same way as posted photos |
| Feed activity | Photos you draw on and like, the posts you repost to your profile (and whether the repost is public), posts you send to other people in messages, and when you last opened each conversation (to show which chats are unread) | To run the feed, your "Drew on" list, likes, reposts, sharing, and unread markers, and to enforce daily limits |
| Payment information | Handled entirely by Apple (purchases in the iPhone/iPad app) or by our payment processor, Stripe (purchases on the website). We do not receive or store your card number. We receive only a record of the purchase (what was bought, when, and a transaction ID) so we can unlock it on your account. | To process and verify purchases of the Upgrade, and to handle refunds |
| Notifications (app, only if you allow them) | If you allow notifications, we save a notification token for your phone (sent through Google's Firebase Cloud Messaging and Apple's push service) | To tell you about new messages and about likes and tags on your photos. You can turn each kind off in Settings, or turn notifications off in your phone's settings. The token is deleted when you sign out or delete your account |
| Basic technical data | IP address, browser type, device type, and similar log data collected automatically | Security, fraud prevention, debugging, and understanding basic usage |
| Analytics data (only if you turn it on) | Pages you view, how long you stay, approximate location (country/city, from your IP address), device and browser type, and a random cookie ID — collected by Google Analytics | To understand how people use Drawfitti and improve it. Only collected if you turn analytics on from our Cookie Policy page; never used for advertising |
| Promo link (only if you used one) | If you opened Drawfitti from one of our promotional links (for example drawfitti.com/?ref=artistname) and then created an account, the name of that link | To see which of our posts and partners bring people to Drawfitti. Only Drawfitti's admins can see it, and it's deleted with your account |
| Advertising data | On the website, Google AdSense shows a banner ad. In the app, you can choose to watch a rewarded video ad from Google AdMob for bonus strokes. Google may collect device and browser information, an advertising or device identifier, approximate location from your IP address, and how you interact with ads. | To show ads (which keep Drawfitti free), measure them, and prevent ad fraud. In the app, we only tell Google your anonymized user ID so it can confirm a rewarded ad was watched and we can credit your strokes |
We do not currently ask for your real name, date of birth (beyond an age confirmation), or physical address, except any billing details Apple or Stripe collects directly when you make a purchase.
The board is visually wiped to blank at the start of every ISO calendar week (00:00 UTC each Monday). This clears what's displayed on the board. We may still retain underlying stroke records (color, width, coordinates, timestamp, and the anonymized user ID that drew them) after a reset for a limited period, for purposes like enforcing daily stroke limits, investigating abuse reports, and improving the service — not to publicly redisplay past boards unless we tell you we're adding a feature like that.
We don't sell your personal information. We share limited data with:
Everything you draw on the board is, by the nature of the product, publicly visible to anyone viewing the site while it's on the board — please don't draw anything private or identifying. Since November 5, 2026, a picture of each finished week of the board is also published in the public Gallery (drawfitti.com/gallery), without usernames.
Photos and profiles are visible to other people. A photo you post to World from November 5, 2026 on is public: anyone on the internet can see it, even without an account — for example on drawfitti.com/explore and on its own page (drawfitti.com/p/…), along with your username, caption, the drawings on it and how many likes it has — and anyone signed in can draw on it. World photos posted before that date stay visible only to people signed in to Drawfitti. A Friends-only photo can only be seen and drawn on by the people you added as friends, and never appears on public pages. If you switch a photo from World to Friends or delete it, it disappears from the public pages within a few minutes (pages and search engines may briefly keep an older copy). Your username, profile picture, public posts, number of posts and tags, and any reposts you made public appear on your profile for signed-in users. Please don't post photos that show private information, and don't post photos of other people without their permission.
We use essential cookies or local storage to keep you signed in and to remember basic preferences. With your consent, we also use Google Analytics cookies to measure how the site is used — these are off unless you turn them on, and you can turn them on or off at any time from our Cookie Policy page. Our payment provider may set its own cookies when you check out, and Google AdSense may set or read cookies to show the banner ad on the board; see our Cookie Policy for details.
Photos stay until you delete them. Posts don't expire. When you delete a post, its photo, the drawings on it, its likes, and its place in other people's feeds are removed. When you change or remove your profile picture, the old one is deleted. When you delete your account, your posts, profile pictures, likes, and feed data are deleted with it. Messages you sent stay in the other person's conversation history.
We keep your account information (email, anonymized user ID, purchase history) for as long as your account is active, and for a reasonable period after you delete your account to comply with legal, accounting, or fraud-prevention obligations. You can ask us to delete your account and associated personal data at any time — see Section 8.
Drawfitti is a general-audience service and is not directed at, or intended for, children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information — including an email address — from anyone under 13. Account creation requires confirming you are 13 or older.
If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 (for example, a user tells us or a parent contacts us), we will delete that account and the associated personal information as required by the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), unless we are legally required to retain it. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child under 13 has created an account or provided us information, please contact us immediately at drawfitticorp@gmail.com so we can remove it.
Users between 13 and the age of majority should only use Drawfitti — especially the purchase features — with a parent or guardian's knowledge and consent.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal information, including the right to:
These rights broadly reflect the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), UK GDPR, and US state privacy laws. We aim to honor these requests for all users worldwide, not only where legally required. To make a request, email drawfitticorp@gmail.com. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
Legal basis for processing (EU/UK visitors): we process your information based on our contract with you (to provide the service you signed up for), our legitimate interests (such as securing the service and preventing abuse), and, where applicable, your consent (such as for optional ad-based rewards and Google Analytics cookies). You can withdraw consent for analytics at any time from the Cookie Policy page.
Drawfitti is based in the United States, and your information will generally be processed and stored there (or by our service providers' infrastructure, which may be located in other countries). If you're located in the EU, UK, or elsewhere, your information may be transferred internationally, including to the US, which may have different data protection laws than your home country. We take reasonable steps to protect your information consistent with this policy wherever it's processed.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, but no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we can't guarantee absolute security.
We may update this Privacy Policy as Drawfitti grows. We'll post any changes here with a new "Last updated" date, and if changes are significant, we'll try to give more prominent notice (such as an email or an in-app banner).
