1. Data We Collect and Use

A. Crash and Performance Monitoring

We use Firebase Crashlytics and Firebase Performance Monitoring to collect:

Crash logs and stack traces
Device information (such as device type, OS version)
Timestamps of crashes or performance events
App performance metrics (e.g. screen load times, frame rates)

B. App Interaction Analytics

We collect usage data such as:

Tool and brush usage frequency
Drawing creation events and drawing dimensions
Time spent in various parts of the app

C. Device Identifiers

We collect and share:

Firebase Installation ID (used by Firebase services)
Advertising Identifier (Ad ID) (used by AdMob for personalized ads)

2. Age Verification and Date of Birth

To ensure compliance with regulations regarding child privacy and ad targeting, Sketch by Rasm requests users to enter their date of birth. This allows us to:

Prevent children from being shown mature or age-inappropriate ads

Important Notes:

Date of birth is processed locally on the user’s device
It is not collected, stored, or transmitted
It is never shared with third-party services

3. Third-Party Services

We use services provided by Google and Firebase to deliver ads, monitor performance, and analyze app usage. These services may collect and process data as described above.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell or rent any user data.

We may share data with:

Google/Firebase services as described above
AdMob for ad targeting and reporting

5. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain anonymized usage, crash, and performance data as long as needed to improve the app.
Date-of-birth info is not stored or transmitted.
No user accounts are created, so no personal information like names or emails is retained.
Users can reset their Ad ID in device settings to delete related data.

6. Security

We use standard security practices. All data handled by third-party SDKs is encrypted during transmission.

7. Children’s Privacy

Sketch by Rasm is designed for general audiences. Age checks are used to ensure children are not shown inappropriate content, and this is processed entirely on the device.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected within the app and on the Play Store page.
