Privacy Policy

Effective November 12, 2026

This policy explains what information the CozyCanvas: Paint by Number app ("CozyCanvas", "the app", "we", "us") collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. CozyCanvas is designed to be used without an account, and we try to collect as little as possible.

In short: there's no sign-up and we never ask for your name or email. Your paintings and any photos you turn into canvases stay on your device. The free version shows ads from Google AdMob, which uses device and usage information to show and measure ads. Subscriptions are processed by Apple and tracked by RevenueCat.

Information that stays on your device

Your paintings and progress. Canvases you paint are saved on your device so you can pick up where you left off. We do not upload them.
Your own photos. If you choose a photo to turn into a canvas, the app reads that one photo with your permission and processes it on your device. We do not upload your photos or access the rest of your photo library.
App settings, such as whether you have Remove Ads.

Deleting the app removes this information from your device.

Information collected when you use the app

Artwork library

The app downloads canvases and pictures from our server (hosted with Supabase). Like any web server, it receives technical information needed to deliver content, such as your IP address, device type and request time. We use this only to run and secure the service.

Advertising (Google AdMob)

The free version of CozyCanvas shows banner ads and occasional full-screen ads between painting layers, provided by Google AdMob. To show, limit and measure ads and to prevent fraud, Google may collect:

device information (model, operating system, language, approximate location derived from IP address);
app usage and ad interactions (which ads were shown or tapped);
your device's advertising identifier (IDFA), only if you allow tracking when iOS asks. If you don't allow it, you'll still see ads, but they won't be personalized using that identifier.

You can change tracking permission at any time in iOS Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking. Google's use of this data is described in its policy at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Purchases (Apple and RevenueCat)

The Remove Ads subscription is purchased through your Apple ID. Apple handles all payment details; we never see your card or billing information. We use RevenueCat to check whether your subscription is active so ads can be removed. RevenueCat receives an anonymous app user ID, your purchase and renewal history, and basic device information. See revenuecat.com/privacy.

How we use information

To provide the app and its artwork library.
To show ads in the free version, and to remove them when you subscribe.
To keep the service secure and working, and to understand crashes or problems.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your paintings or photos for any purpose.

Sharing

We share information only with the service providers named above (Supabase, Google AdMob, RevenueCat and Apple) so they can perform their services, or when required by law.

Children

CozyCanvas is a general-audience app and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will help remove it.

Your choices and rights

Ads: subscribe to Remove Ads, or decline tracking so ads are not personalized.
Data on your device: delete the app to remove your paintings and settings.
Requests: depending on where you live (for example California or the EU/UK), you may have rights to access, delete or correct personal information. Because we don't hold accounts, most information is held by the providers above; contact us and we'll help with any request we can fulfill.

Data retention

Server logs are kept only as long as needed to operate and secure the service. Information held by Google, RevenueCat and Apple is kept according to their own policies.

Changes

We may update this policy as the app changes. We'll post the new version here with an updated effective date.
