Zero Data Collection Guarantee

Privacy Policy for Doodlo

Last Updated & Effective Date: November 9, 2026

Plain-Language Summary for Parents

Doodlo is built on a single promise: No ads. No accounts. No data. Just coloring.

  • Zero Data Collected: We do not ask for names, email addresses, birthdays, or device identifiers.
  • 100% Offline: The application does not require or request the Android Internet permission (android.permission.INTERNET). It cannot communicate with any remote server.
  • No Ads or Trackers: There are no advertising SDKs, no behavioral tracking frameworks, and no telemetry libraries bundled into the app.
  • Local Storage Only: All coloring drawings and progress remain strictly saved on your child's local device.
  • Strict Parent Gate: Any action that touches the device operating system (saving to Photos, printing, or purchasing shape packs) is guarded by an adult arithmetic gate.

1. Introduction & Our Core Commitment

Welcome to Doodlo ("Doodlo: Kids Coloring Book", "we", "us", or "our"). We believe young children deserve a calm, creative sanctuary free from digital surveillance, intrusive advertisements, and manipulative design tricks.

This Privacy Policy explains how our Flutter mobile application operates. Because Doodlo is engineered from the ground up with a zero-data architecture, we do not gather, store, sell, or transmit any personal information about your child or your family.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

Our application strictly does NOT collect or process any of the following:

  • Personal Identifiers: No names, email addresses, phone numbers, mailing addresses, or user account credentials.
  • Device & Network Identifiers: No IP addresses, Advertising IDs (AAID), MAC addresses, or persistent device fingerprints.
  • Geolocation: No GPS coordinates, Wi-Fi location data, or cellular tower triangulation.
  • Media & Sensors: No access to camera, microphone, contacts, or biometric sensors.
  • Usage Telemetry: No analytics events, heatmaps, session replays, or crash telemetry containing personal records.

3. Offline-First Architecture & Network Permissions

Doodlo is designed to function completely offline. The release version of our Android application does not include the android.permission.INTERNET permission in its manifest. Consequently, the app is technically incapable of sending any outbound requests over Wi-Fi or cellular networks.

All 30+ free starter shapes, 16 toddler crayons, line-mask stencils, and audio effects are pre-bundled directly within the application package upon installation.

4. Local Device Storage of Artwork ("The Fridge")

When a child draws in Doodlo, their artwork is automatically saved locally to the device's sandboxed internal storage directory using an embedded SQLite database (Drift). This allows the child to reopen and continue their artwork without risk of data loss.

These saved drawings never leave the physical device unless an adult explicitly chooses to export or share a picture through the system share sheet or photos gallery behind the Parent Gate.

5. Compliance with Children's Online Privacy Laws (COPPA)

Doodlo complies fully with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in the United States (15 U.S.C. §§ 6501–6508).

Because our app does not collect, use, or disclose personal information from children under 13 years of age (or any age), no parental consent is required for data collection, as no data collection occurs.

6. Compliance with European & UK Regulations (GDPR & Age-Appropriate Design Code)

In compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU 2016/679) and the UK Age-Appropriate Design Code:

  • We do not process personal data belonging to children or adults.
  • No profiling, automated decision-making, or behavioral targeting is performed.
  • The app has privacy-by-design built in as the default and only operational mode.

7. Google Play "Designed for Families" Compliance

Doodlo participates in the Google Play Designed for Families program. Under Google Play's Families Policy and Data Safety declaration:

  • Data Safety Declaration: "No data collected" and "No data shared".
  • Ads Policy: 100% ad-free. Zero third-party ad networks or SDKs.
  • Target Age Group: Ages 2 to 7 (Preschool & Early Elementary).

8. Adult Parent Gate Protection

To prevent young children from accidentally accessing external operating system features or settings, Doodlo employs a secure Parent Gate.

The Parent Gate presents a randomized arithmetic challenge (for example, "What is 4 × 7?") or a sustained timed hold that young toddlers cannot accidentally solve. The Parent Gate strictly protects:

  • Exporting artwork or saving PNGs to the device's photo library.
  • Opening the Android system share sheet.
  • Invoking the system print dialog.
  • Accessing application settings and optional family pack purchases.
  • Deleting artwork from the local gallery.

9. In-App Purchases & Payments

Version 1.0 of Doodlo includes 30 shapes completely free with zero purchases required. Optional expansion packs (130 more themed shapes) are sold as one-time unlocks—never recurring subscriptions.

All purchases are processed exclusively through Google Play Billing services. Doodlo never handles, sees, or stores your payment details or credit card information.
