Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2 July 2026
Draw and Hide ("we", "the app") lets you hide and find little doodles at real-world
locations. This policy explains what we collect and why.
What we collect
- Account: your sign-in identity from Apple, Google, or email (a user ID,
display name, and email address), and the nickname you provide. Your birth date is stored
only on your device and is never uploaded.
- Location: the GPS coordinates where you place a doodle, and your current
location while the map is open, so we can show nearby doodles. We do not track your location
in the background.
- Content: photos, comments, ratings, puzzles, and the spots you create or
find.
- Push token: a device token so we can notify you (e.g. when someone solves
your puzzle). Stored only while you are signed in on that device.
- Usage and crash data: we use Firebase Analytics (screen views and in-app
events, not linked to your account) and Firebase Crashlytics (crash logs and device model)
to improve the app.
How we use it
- To show doodles on the map and run the find/hide game, leaderboards and activity feed.
- To moderate content and respond to reports of abuse.
Sharing
We do not sell your data and we do not use it for advertising or cross-app tracking. Photos
and comments you post are visible to other players. We use Google Firebase (authentication,
analytics, crash reporting, push notifications) and Alibaba Cloud (hosting and image storage)
as processors.
Your choices
- Delete your account any time from Profile → Delete Account. Your account
is deactivated immediately and your content is hidden from other players. We may retain the
underlying records for a limited period for abuse prevention and legal compliance, after
which they are deleted. To request immediate erasure, email us at the address below.
- Block any user to hide their content from you.
- Report any spot you find objectionable.
Children
The app is not directed to children under 13.
