Privacy Policy for ArtLoop

Last updated: May 6, 2026

This Privacy Policy applies to the ArtLoop mobile application and related services (collectively, the “Application”, “ArtLoop”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). ArtLoop is provided as a freemium drawing and multiplayer drawing service. This Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, how we protect it, and what choices you have.

By using ArtLoop, you consent to the collection and use of information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Policy, please do not use the Application.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the information that is necessary to provide, maintain, improve, protect, and support the Application. The types of information we may collect include the following:

• Device and Technical Information.
  We may collect technical information such as your device model, operating system, app version, language settings, approximate region, device identifiers, IP address, crash data, diagnostics, and performance information. This information is used to operate the Application, detect errors, prevent abuse, and improve stability.
• Analytics and Usage Information.
  We may collect information about how the Application is used, such as screens visited, drawing modes used, session duration, feature interactions, gameplay events, and general engagement data. This helps us understand how users interact with ArtLoop and improve the user experience.
• Profile Information.
  ArtLoop may allow you to create or customize an in-app profile. This may include an in-app display name, avatar, level, experience points, drawing progress, achievements, streaks, subscription status, and other app-related profile data. We do not require you to provide your real name.
• Age or Date of Birth Information.
  In some parts of the Application, we may ask you to provide your age or date of birth. This information is used to determine whether certain features are appropriate for you, including features that may involve interaction with other users or adult-only access rules. Your exact date of birth may be stored locally on your device as part of your profile data. Where we use age-related information for analytics, advertising choices, safety settings, or feature access, we may use only a derived value such as an age range or an adult / non-adult flag.
• Drawing and Gameplay Information.
  The Application may process drawing progress, completed drawings, gameplay results, match participation, multiplayer results, and related in-app activity. Some drawings or gameplay results may be stored locally on your device. Certain multiplayer or challenge drawings may be processed by our systems or service providers in order to provide gameplay features, moderation, safety, technical operation, and app improvement.
• Friends and Social Feature Information.
  ArtLoop may include optional social features, such as friend codes, friend requests, friend lists, blocked users, private multiplayer invitations, and game invite status. When you use these features, we may process your internal user ID, friend code, display name, avatar information, friend relationships, incoming and outgoing friend requests, blocked user records, invite codes, room names, drawing identifiers, invite timestamps, and invite status. These features are intended to allow users to connect inside ArtLoop without using real-world contact information.
• Real-Time Multiplayer Information.
  When you use multiplayer features, we may process information necessary to create, join, manage, and secure multiplayer sessions. This may include an internal user ID, display name, room name, room invite code, password or access token, selected drawing identifier, region or server information, player readiness state, match state, and gameplay events. This information is used only to provide the multiplayer experience, connect participants, synchronize gameplay, prevent abuse, and maintain service quality.
• Advertising Information.
  ArtLoop displays advertising to support the free version of the Application. Advertising partners may process information such as device identifiers, IP address, approximate location, app activity, ad interactions, and consent choices in order to provide, measure, limit, and personalize ads where permitted by law and your consent settings.
• In-App Purchase Information.
  ArtLoop may offer subscriptions or other in-app purchases. We do not collect or store your payment card details. Payments are processed by the relevant app store or payment provider, such as Apple App Store or Google Play. We may receive purchase status, subscription status, receipt validation information, or transaction-related identifiers needed to unlock paid features and prevent fraud.
• Support and Communication Information.
  If you contact us by email or another support channel, we may process your email address, message content, and any information you choose to provide in order to respond to your request and provide support.

2. Multiplayer, Friends, and User Interaction Features

ArtLoop includes optional drawing and multiplayer features that may allow users to draw together, participate in drawing challenges, invite friends to private rooms, or interact with other players through limited in-app gameplay actions.

ArtLoop does not require users to share real names, phone numbers, email addresses, or external social media accounts in order to use friend features. Friend connections are created through app-generated friend codes or invite links. Users may remove friends or block other users inside the Application where these features are available.

Multiplayer sessions may involve the temporary transmission of drawing actions, gameplay state, player display names, room information, and related technical data between participants and service providers that operate the multiplayer infrastructure. This processing is required to provide real-time gameplay and to maintain a stable multiplayer experience.

In certain modes, completed drawings or gameplay results may be reviewed, moderated, filtered, or otherwise processed before being shown to other users. We may use moderation and safety measures to reduce inappropriate content, abuse, spam, or behavior that violates our policies. However, no moderation or technical system can guarantee that all unwanted content or behavior will be detected immediately.

We do not provide unrestricted public chat as part of the friend invitation system. If future features add additional forms of communication, this Privacy Policy may be updated to describe how those features process data.

3. How We Use Information

We use collected information for the following purposes:

• To provide and operate the Application.
  This includes loading drawings, saving progress, enabling gameplay, managing profiles, processing multiplayer sessions, and providing friend and invite features.
• To provide multiplayer and social features.
  We use internal user IDs, display names, friend codes, friend lists, blocked user data, invite codes, room information, and drawing identifiers to allow users to add friends, manage requests, invite friends to rooms, accept or decline game invitations, and join multiplayer sessions.
• To improve the Application.
  Analytics and usage data help us understand which features are used, identify problems, improve performance, create better drawing content, and make the Application easier and more enjoyable to use.
• To provide age-appropriate and safer experiences.
  Age or age-group information may be used to enable, restrict, or adapt certain features, including features that involve interaction with other users or access to public or adult-only functionality.
• To show and measure advertising.
  Advertising data is used to show ads, limit ad frequency, measure ad performance, prevent fraud, and personalize ads where permitted by law and your consent choices.
• To process purchases and subscriptions.
  Purchase and subscription information is used to unlock paid features, restore purchases, verify transactions, and prevent abuse.
• To protect users and the Application.
  We may use information to detect technical errors, investigate abuse, enforce our policies, prevent spam or fraud, respond to security incidents, and comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers only as necessary to operate the Application, provide features, support advertising and analytics, process purchases, protect users, comply with legal obligations, or enforce our rights.

We may disclose information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect user safety, investigate fraud or abuse, or maintain the security of the Application.

5. Approximate Location

ArtLoop does not collect precise GPS location unless a specific feature clearly requests it and you grant permission. However, your approximate location or region may be inferred from your IP address or app store region by us or our service providers. Approximate location may be used for analytics, advertising, fraud prevention, regional compliance, server selection, and improving service quality.

6. Consent and Privacy Choices

Depending on your region, we may ask for your consent before using certain data for personalized advertising or related purposes. You may be able to change your consent choices in the Application settings or through the consent dialog shown in the Application.

We retain information for as long as necessary to provide the Application, maintain your profile, operate multiplayer and friend features, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, prevent abuse, and improve our services.

Some information, such as locally saved drawings, preferences, or profile data, may be stored on your device and may be deleted by uninstalling the Application or clearing app data. Server-side information, such as friend relationships, friend requests, blocked users, multiplayer invite records, analytics, diagnostics, or purchase-related records, may be retained for a reasonable period as required for service operation, security, legal compliance, or business purposes.

If you would like to request deletion of information associated with your use of the Application, please contact us at artcanvasapp@gmail.com. We may need sufficient information to verify and process your request.

8. Children and Younger Users

ArtLoop is designed to provide a safer and age-appropriate drawing experience. Some features may be restricted, adapted, or unavailable depending on the user’s age, region, app store requirements, or applicable law.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in a manner that violates applicable child privacy laws. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child where parental consent or another legal basis was required and not obtained, we will take reasonable steps to delete or restrict that information.

Parents or guardians who believe that their child has provided personal information to us may contact us at artcanvasapp@gmail.com.

9. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect the information we process. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
