Privacy Policy for Draw Anime Tracing AR Drawing

PRIVACY POLICY FOR DRAW ANIME TRACING AR DRAWING

Last updated: 1 August 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how we ("we," "us," or "our") collect, use, and

disclose information when you use the mobile application Draw Anime Tracing AR

Drawing (package com.ardrawing.sketch) (the "App").

The App has no user accounts. You cannot register, sign in, or create a profile,

and we never ask you for your name, email address, phone number, or any other

contact or identity information.

1. DEVICE PERMISSIONS

Camera. Used only to show a live camera preview underneath a semi-transparent

reference drawing, so you can trace onto real paper. The App does not

photograph, record, save, or transmit anything from your camera. The camera feed

is displayed on screen and never leaves your device.

Photos (system photo picker). If you choose to trace your own image, the App

opens Android's system photo picker. Only the single image you pick is made

available to the App, it is used solely as an on-screen overlay, and it is never

uploaded. The App requests no storage or media permissions.

Notifications. The App requests permission to post notifications. The current

version does not send any notifications; this permission is reserved for

optional drawing reminders in a future release. No information is collected

through it. You can deny or revoke it in your device settings at any time.

Internet and network state. Used to download reference drawings, load the in-app

image browser, and serve advertising.

2. INFORMATION STORED ONLY ON YOUR DEVICE

The following never leaves your device and is deleted when you uninstall the App:

- Your favourite drawings, and which drawings you have opened

- Your drawing statistics, streaks, rank progress, and daily challenge status

- Images you save from the in-app browser, stored in the App's private storage

- Images you select from your own photo library

3. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

3.1 Analytics (collected by us via Google Analytics for Firebase)

- Screens you view and how long you spend on them

- Which drawing categories you open, and when you start a drawing in trace or

  sketch mode

- Crash reports and diagnostic/performance information

- A randomly generated app instance identifier and your Advertising ID

3.2 Search terms (collected by us via Firebase Realtime Database)

When you use the "Browse Online" feature, the exact words you type into the

search box, or the suggestion you tap, are transmitted to and stored on our

Firebase Realtime Database, together with a server timestamp and whether the

term was typed or tapped. We use this to understand what subjects our users want

to draw so we can add them to the App.

These entries are not linked to your name, account, device identifier, or

Advertising ID. They are stored indefinitely unless you ask us to remove them

(see Section 8). Please avoid entering personal or sensitive information into

the search box.

We also maintain an anonymous per-drawing counter ("times drawn") in the same

database. It records only which reference drawing was opened, contains no

identifiers, and cannot be traced back to any individual.

3.3 Advertising (collected by our advertising partners)

The App is free and supported by advertising. Our advertising partners are:

- Google AdMob - https://policies.google.com/privacy

- Meta Audience Network - https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy - which serves

  ads through AdMob mediation

These partners may automatically collect:

- Your Advertising ID and device information (model, operating system version)

- Ad interaction data - impressions, clicks, and viewability

- Approximate location derived from your IP address (typically city-level). The

  App itself never requests or accesses your device's location.

This information is used to select and measure advertisements, including

personalised advertising where permitted. It is shared with these third parties,

who process it for their own advertising purposes.

3.4 Content delivery and third-party web content

Reference drawings are delivered from the jsDelivr content delivery network,

which receives your IP address as part of any ordinary web request.

The "Browse Online" feature opens Bing Image Search (Microsoft) inside the App.

While you use it you are browsing the open web, and Microsoft collects

information under its own privacy policy

(https://privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement). We do not receive or record

which searches you run there or which results you view; we only download the

image bytes of a picture you choose to save, directly to your device.

The App also uses Google Play In-App Review to occasionally invite you to rate

the App, and Google Play Services.

4. HOW WE USE INFORMATION

- To operate the tracing and sketching features

- To understand which categories and subjects are popular, so we can add more

  drawings

- To diagnose crashes and improve stability and performance

- To display and measure advertising

We do not sell your personal information. We do not build profiles about you,

and we do not combine analytics data with any identity information, because we

hold none.

5. LEGAL BASES (EEA AND UK USERS)

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we rely on our legitimate interests in

operating, securing and improving the App for analytics and crash reporting, and

on your consent for personalised advertising and any non-essential identifiers.

Where consent is required, you may withdraw it at any time (see Section 7).

6. DATA SECURITY AND RETENTION

All data transmitted by the App is sent over encrypted HTTPS/TLS connections. No

method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we take reasonable

measures to protect information.

Analytics data is retained according to Google's Firebase retention settings.

Search terms in our database are retained indefinitely unless deletion is

requested. Data held by our advertising partners is retained under their own

policies.

7. YOUR CHOICES

Reset or delete your Advertising ID. Android Settings > Google > Ads > Delete

advertising ID or Reset advertising ID, and Opt out of Ads Personalisation.

Opt out of personalised ads at https://adssettings.google.com

Revoke camera or notification permission in Android Settings > Apps > Draw Anime

Tracing AR Drawing > Permissions.

Delete all on-device data by uninstalling the App.

8. YOUR RIGHTS AND DATA DELETION REQUESTS

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete,

or restrict processing of your information, to object to processing, to data

portability, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. California

residents have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to know and to

delete; we do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined

by the CCPA.

Because the App has no accounts, we usually cannot identify which records relate

to you. To request deletion of search terms, email us the approximate date, the

terms you entered, and your country, and we will locate and remove matching

entries. Email anisrahman.contact@gmail.com - we respond within 30 days.

9. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY

The App is not directed to and is not intended for children under 13. We do not

knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a

child has provided us with personal information, contact us at the address below

and we will delete it.

10. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

Our service providers - Google, Meta, and Microsoft - operate globally, so your

information may be processed in countries other than your own, including the

United States. Transfers out of the EEA or UK rely on the relevant provider's

standard contractual clauses or other approved safeguards.

11. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on

this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Please review it periodically.
