Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 2025. This policy explains how Hello Drawing! collects, uses, and protects your information.

1. Who We Are

Hello Drawing! ("we", "us", "our") is a free online whiteboard drawing tool available at hellodrawing.com, created by Nitin Kumar and Mayank Singh. For questions, contact us at hello@hellodrawing.com.

2. Data We Collect

2.1 Data You Provide

Hello Drawing! does not require an account or any personal information to use. We do not collect names, email addresses, or any personally identifiable information through normal use of the app.

2.2 Automatically Collected Data

Like most websites, our hosting provider (Cloudflare) may automatically collect standard server-log information, including your IP address, browser type, referring URL, and the date and time of your visit. This data is used for security and operational purposes only and is governed by Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.

2.3 Local Storage (Your Drawings)

Your drawings, preferences (e.g., dark mode), and workspace state are saved locally in your browser using the Web Storage API (localStorage / IndexedDB). This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

3. Cookies

Hello Drawing! itself does not set any tracking cookies. However, third-party services we may integrate (such as Google AdSense for advertising) may set their own cookies. Please refer to Google's Privacy Policy for details on how they use data.

4. Advertising (Google AdSense)

We may display advertisements provided by Google AdSense. Google uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website and other websites. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or optout.aboutads.info.

5. Third-Party Services

Hello Drawing! may link to or integrate third-party services including:

Each third party has its own privacy policy governing its data practices.

6. Children's Privacy

Hello Drawing! is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us immediately.

7. Your Rights

Because we do not collect personal data through normal use of the application, most data-subject rights (access, erasure, portability) apply to data stored locally in your own browser, which you control directly. You can clear your Hello Drawing! data at any time by clearing your browser's local storage.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of Hello Drawing! after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
