Draw & Note privacy policy
Last updated: November 1, 2026
Draw & Note is a drawing and annotation app for Android. This policy explains what data it handles, why, and what your rights are.
1. Who we are
Carlos J. Figueredo González (KarFiGo). Contact for any privacy question: apps.karfigo@gmail.com.
2. Your drawings stay on your phone
The app has no accounts or sign-in, and we use no servers of our own. Your drawings, the photos you annotate or trace and your settings are stored only on your phone. We don't send them anywhere.
The app only accesses the photos you pick with the Android picker. If you export or share a drawing (image or PDF), it is saved or sent wherever you choose. The colouring pages are bundled inside the app.
3. Usage statistics
To learn which tools are used and improve the app, we use Google Firebase Analytics. It receives anonymous usage data linked to a random installation ID: which options and tools are used, which formats are exported and how rewarded ads perform, plus device model, Android version and approximate region. Your drawings, their names, any text you write, your name or email are never sent.
In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, Analytics stores nothing until you answer the consent form, and only to the extent you accept.
4. Ads
The app shows ads from Google AdMob: banners, occasional full-screen ads and optional rewarded ads. AdMob may use your device's advertising ID and technical data (such as device model, Android version, IP address and approximate region) to show and measure ads and to prevent fraud.
In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, a consent form (Google's UMP platform) is shown before any ad is requested. You can change your choice at any time from the app's privacy options. If you don't consent, the ads you see will not be personalised.
More information: how Google uses data from apps that use its services.
5. Who processes the data
The only data that leaves your phone is the data used by Google AdMob for ads and Google Firebase Analytics for statistics, as explained above. Google acts under its own policies; international transfers may take place under the Standard Contractual Clauses or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. We do not sell your data.
6. Your rights
We have no accounts and no servers of our own, so we hold no data about you to access, correct or delete: your content lives only on your phone and is removed when you clear the app's data or uninstall it. For ad data and statistics you can change your consent from the app's privacy options, reset your advertising ID in Android settings or write to apps.karfigo@gmail.com. If you believe your data is not handled correctly, you can complain to the data protection authority in your country.
7. US residents
We do not sell your personal information. Advertising partners (Google AdMob) may use device identifiers to show ads, which some laws consider "sharing" data for targeted advertising. You can opt out from the app's privacy options or from Android's ads settings.
8. Children
The app is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
9. Changes
If we change this policy, we will publish the new version here with its date and, if the change is significant, let you know in the app.
