Privacy
Last updated 2026-08-28. Plain language, not a wall of legalese — ask if anything here is unclear.
What we collect
A username (shown publicly next to everything you draw), an email, and a password — that's what signing up takes. Passwords are hashed before they're stored; we never have your plaintext password and can't look it up for you. Everything you draw is attributed to your account and kept as part of the board's public history, the same way anything on the board itself is public.
What we don't do
- We don't collect more than what's needed to run the site. The only two cookies set are a login session (proves you're signed in, not readable by page scripts) and an anonymous ID used to attribute ad-space purchases — neither is a third-party tracking cookie.
- We keep a basic, anonymous count of page views (which page, and when) so we have some idea of traffic — no cookie, no IP address, nothing tied to your account or to "you" as a visitor across pages. It's first-party (we run it ourselves, on our own server) — no third-party analytics script is loaded.
- We don't retain IP addresses for drawing — one is used briefly, in memory only, to throttle rapid pixel placement (anti-spam), then discarded, never written to the database.
- We don't sell your data or share it with third parties, beyond what's needed to actually run the site (see below).
Payments, ads, and bot-checks
If ad-space or premium purchases are live, payment is handled entirely by Stripe — this site never sees or stores your card details. If ad slots are showing Google AdSense ads (rather than a slot someone purchased directly), Google's own privacy policy governs what that ad script collects; we don't control that. Signing up may also run a Cloudflare Turnstile check to block bots — Cloudflare processes some technical data (like your IP) to do that; see Cloudflare's privacy policy for what that covers.
Deleting your account
Delete your own account any time from My Stats → Delete account — you'll be asked to confirm your password first. It's immediate: your username, email, and password are wiped and you're logged out everywhere. Pixels you've already placed stay as part of the board's shared history, the same as they would if someone else painted over them, just no longer tied to your account.

Children
This site isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect data from them.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top will change with it.
