Privacy Policy

Effective 9 November 2026

Short version: Brushroom has no account, no ads and no tracking. We do not collect your data. Your paintings stay on your iPad and, if you turn on sync, in your own iCloud.

This policy covers the Brushroom: Paint by Numbers app for iPad (“the app”) and this website. “We” means the developer of Brushroom. Questions: support@brushroomapp.com.

What the app does not do

• No sign-up or account of our own. We do not ask for your name, email or phone.
• No advertising and no advertising identifiers.
• No tracking across apps or websites.
• No third-party analytics, advertising or crash-reporting SDKs.
• No servers of our own that receive your paintings, photos or files.

Your paintings and settings

Your works, strokes, lists and settings are stored on your iPad.

If iCloud sync is on, the app also stores copies in your private iCloud storage (CloudKit and iCloud key-value storage) under your Apple ID, so they appear on your other iPads. This data is held by Apple under the Apple Privacy Policy. We cannot see or access it. You can turn sync off at any time and remove the copies with Profile → Delete data from iCloud; the works on your iPad stay. You can also manage iCloud data in the Settings app.

Photos and files you import

When you create a coloring page from a photo, you pick the photo with the system picker. The app receives only the photo you choose, not your whole library. When you import a PDF or an image, you choose the file yourself. Photos and files are processed on your iPad and are not uploaded to us. The resulting page is stored like your other works, including iCloud if sync is on.

Purchases

Purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive your payment details. Apple shares with us only aggregated sales information, as it does with every developer. Restore purchases works through your Apple ID.

Crash and performance reports

iPadOS can provide the app with crash and performance reports (Apple MetricKit). In the current version these reports stay on your iPad and are not sent to us. They contain technical information, not your paintings.

If you have chosen in iPadOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements to share with app developers, Apple may share crash data with us in aggregated form. This is controlled by you and by Apple, not by the app.

When you email us

If you write to support, we receive your email address and whatever you include in the message. We use it only to answer you and keep the conversation only as long as needed to help. We do not add you to any mailing list.

This website

The website uses no cookies, no analytics and no third-party scripts. It is hosted on Cloudflare, which processes standard technical data such as IP addresses to deliver pages and protect the site, under the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.

Children

Brushroom is not directed at children under 13. The app does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Your rights

Because we do not collect personal data in the app, there is usually nothing for us to give you, correct or delete. Your data in iCloud is under your control through your Apple ID. If you have emailed us and want that correspondence deleted, write to support@brushroomapp.com.

Changes to this policy

If a future version starts sending any data off your iPad, for example crash reports, we will update this policy before that version is released and describe exactly what is sent and why. The date at the top shows the latest change.
