We are committed to complying with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

1. Information We Collect

We collect minimal personal information to operate the Service effectively. The types of information we may collect include:

• Usage Data: Information about how you interact with the Service, such as IP address, browser type, device information, and pages visited. This is collected automatically via analytics tools and third-party advertising services.
• Content You Create: Drawings and video recordings you generate using the Service are stored temporarily in your browser’s memory and are not saved on our servers unless you choose to download or share them.
• Third-Party Data: Our advertising partners (e.g., Monetag) may collect data for ad personalization, such as cookies or tracking identifiers, as described in their privacy policies.

We do not collect sensitive personal information (e.g., name, email, or payment details) unless you voluntarily provide it (e.g., via the donate button or direct contact).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide and improve the Service, including its drawing and recording features.
• Display advertisements (via Monetag vignette banner ads and direct link ads) to support the Service.
• Analyze usage patterns to enhance functionality and user experience.
• Respond to your inquiries or feedback. Contact Us

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share data in the following cases:

• Third-Party Service Providers: With advertising partners (e.g., Monetag) and analytics providers to deliver ads and track usage. These partners may use cookies or similar technologies—see their privacy policies for details.
• Legal Obligations: If required by Australian law, a court order, or to protect our rights, property, or safety (e.g., in response to a data breach).
• User-Initiated Sharing: If you choose to share your artwork or videos via the Service’s share feature, this is at your discretion and may involve third-party platforms (e.g., social media).

4. Data Storage and Security

• Location: The Service is hosted on Netlify, a US-based platform. Usage data may be processed outside Australia, subject to Netlify’s privacy practices (see Netlify’s Privacy Policy).
• Retention: We do not store your drawings or recordings on our servers. Temporary data (e.g., browser memory) is cleared when you close the site. Analytics and ad data are retained by third parties per their policies.
• Security: We use reasonable measures (e.g., HTTPS) to protect data during transmission. However, no online service is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Your Rights

Under the APPs, you have rights regarding your personal information, including:

• Access: Request details of the personal information we hold about you (though we collect minimal data directly).
• Correction: Ask us to correct inaccurate information.
• Complaints: Contact us if you believe your privacy rights have been breached. You may also lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at www.oaic.gov.au.

To exercise these rights, contact us. Note that third-party data (e.g., from Monetag) is governed by their policies—contact them directly for access or corrections.

6. Cookies and Tracking

We and our advertising partners use cookies and similar technologies to:

• Deliver personalized ads.
