Privacy Policy

Quick answer: DoodleMaker has no accounts and no server that receives your drawings. Everything you create, including boards, figures and text, stays in your browser's local storage. The only data the site collects is anonymous, aggregated analytics about page visits.

What stays on your device

Your boards and project settings are saved to your browser's local storage on the device you are using. They are never uploaded, never synced to a cloud, and never visible to us.

The consequence of this design is that clearing your browser data, using private browsing, or switching devices means your boards do not follow you. Export anything you want to keep, and back it up.

What we collect

• Anonymous analytics: we use Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate traffic: which pages are visited, roughly which country, device type, and how people arrive. This data is not tied to your identity and is not used to build a profile of you.
• Standard server logs: our host (Cloudflare Pages) records standard web requests such as the requested URL, timestamp, and IP address for security and abuse prevention, per its own policy.
• Email you send us: if you contact support, we receive the email you wrote and nothing else.

What we do not collect

We do not collect your drawings, text, or exported images. We do not require an email to use the tool. We do not sell, rent, or share personal information, and we do not currently run advertising networks or cross-site tracking pixels. If advertising is ever added, this policy will be updated before any ads go live.

Cookies and local storage

Google Analytics may set cookies to distinguish sessions. Your browser also stores DoodleMaker project data and small preferences (such as whether you dismissed an on-page tip) in local storage. You can block or clear cookies and local storage at any time in your browser settings; the editor keeps working, but your saved boards will be removed if you clear local storage.

Third parties

• Google Analytics: aggregate visit statistics.
• Google Fonts: fonts are served from Google's CDN, which may log a standard web request.
• Cloudflare Pages: hosting and content delivery.

The Excalidraw drawing engine is an open-source library bundled with the site. After it loads, it runs entirely on your device.

Opting out

You can opt out of Google Analytics across all sites using Google's official browser add-on, or by blocking analytics scripts with a content blocker. Because the only tracking we use is aggregated analytics, blocking it has no effect on how the tool works for you.

Children

DoodleMaker is a general-audience tool and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Because the tool requires no account or personal details to use, there is nothing for a child to submit in the first place.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data held about you. In practice we hold almost nothing: the only personal data we could hold is an email you chose to send us. For any privacy request, email the address below and we will respond within a reasonable period.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, the "Last updated" date above will change with it. Material changes, such as adding a new data processor, will be described on this page rather than made silently.
