Privacy Policy

Effective date: March 25, 2026

CrayonCraft ("Service"), available at crayoncraft.app, is operated by [CrayonCraft / Your Company Name] ("we", "us", "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1. Our Privacy-First Approach

CrayonCraft is designed with privacy at its core. By default, all image processing happens entirely in your browser on your device. Your photos never leave your device during standard processing. We do not upload, store, or have access to the photos you process using the free tier of our Service.

2. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information necessary to provide the Service:

Account Information: If you create an account, authentication is handled by Clerk, a third-party authentication provider. Clerk may collect your email address, name, and authentication credentials. Please refer to Clerk's Privacy Policy for details on their data handling.

Payment Information: If you make a purchase, payment processing is handled by Lemon Squeezy. We do not directly collect or store your payment card details. Please refer to Lemon Squeezy's Privacy Policy for details.

We do not collect:

• Your photos or images (during standard client-side processing)
• Analytics or tracking data (we currently use no analytics tools)
• Location data
• Device fingerprints

3. Local Data Storage (IndexedDB)

CrayonCraft stores your coloring book projects, pages, and associated image data in your browser's IndexedDB. This data:

• Is stored entirely on your device, in your browser.
• Is not synced to any external server.
• Is not accessible to us or any third party.
• Can be deleted at any time by you through your browser settings or by clearing site data.
• May be lost if you clear your browser data, switch browsers, or use private/incognito mode.

4. Server-Side Premium Processing

If you opt in to premium processing features, your images will be sent to third-party AI services (such as Replicate) for enhanced processing. When using premium features:

• Your images are transmitted to third-party AI service providers for processing.
• Images are processed and returned to you; we do not permanently store them on our servers.
• Third-party AI providers may have their own data retention policies. We select providers who do not retain input images beyond the processing session, but we encourage you to review their privacy policies.
• You will always be clearly informed before any server-side processing occurs.

5. Cookies

CrayonCraft uses cookies only for authentication purposes through Clerk. These cookies are necessary for maintaining your logged-in session. We do not use:

• Advertising or marketing cookies
• Third-party tracking cookies
• Analytics cookies

6. Tracking and Analytics

We currently do not use any analytics, tracking, or monitoring tools. We do not track your browsing behavior, and we do not share any data with advertising networks. If we add analytics in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated accordingly, and we will choose privacy-respecting solutions.

7. Third-Party Services

The Service integrates with the following third-party providers. Each has their own privacy policy governing their handling of your data:

• Clerk — Authentication and account management
• Lemon Squeezy — Payment processing
• Print-on-demand partners (e.g., Amazon KDP, Lulu) — Physical book printing and fulfillment. When you place a print order, the necessary data (your book content and shipping information) is shared with the fulfillment partner.
• AI processing services (e.g., Replicate) — Premium image processing (only when you opt in)

7a. Content Moderation

Images submitted for premium server-side processing are automatically screened using Google Cloud Vision SafeSearch to detect potentially inappropriate content (such as adult or violent material). This screening is fully automated — no human reviews your images. Images that are flagged are rejected and not processed. We do not store flagged images, but we may retain metadata (timestamp, user ID, flag reason) as required by law.

7b. Branding on Generated Content

CrayonCraft branding (logos, URLs, watermarks) may appear on coloring pages and PDFs generated by the Service. This branding indicates only that CrayonCraft tools were used to create the content. It does not mean CrayonCraft has reviewed, approved, or endorsed the content. All content is created by users on their own devices (for the free tier) or processed briefly on third-party servers (for the premium tier) without human review by CrayonCraft.

8. Children's Privacy (COPPA)

CrayonCraft is designed for parents and adults who create coloring pages for children. The Service is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Parents and guardians use the Service on behalf of their children.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

9. Data Retention

Since your coloring book data is stored locally in your browser's IndexedDB, you have full control over its retention:

• Local data: Persists until you clear it through the app, clear your browser data, or uninstall your browser.
• Account data: Retained by Clerk as long as your account is active. You may request account deletion by contacting us.
• Payment records: Retained by Lemon Squeezy in accordance with their policies and applicable financial regulations.

10. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction or deletion of your personal data.
• Object to or restrict certain processing of your data.
• Request data portability.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information below.

11. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information. Our privacy-first architecture — where photos are processed locally on your device — is itself a security measure, as your images are never exposed to network transmission during standard use. Account authentication is handled by Clerk using industry-standard security practices.

12. 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. We encourage you to review this page periodically. Your continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
