Drawing WallPrivacy Policy
Drawing Wall turns children's drawings into a digital wall and picture books. It is made by Taryn Maloney ("we", "us") and meant to be used by families, with a parent or guardian setting it up. This policy explains what the app collects, why, and how to delete it.
In short: a grown-up creates the account, and your drawings and books are saved privately to that account. When you ask for a story, only the characters' names and your story choices are sent to an AI service, never the drawings. We don't show ads, use analytics or sell your information. You can delete your account and everything in it from inside the app.
Your account
To use the app you create a Drawing Wall account with your name, email address and a password (or, where offered, sign in with Google). The account lets your drawings and books follow you to every device you sign in on.
What is stored, and where
When you're signed in, the app saves the following to your private account:
- photos you add
- the drawings cut out of them
- the names, types and positions you give the drawings
- saved collages
- story books
It's stored with Supabase, our database and storage provider, on servers in the United States. Only your account can read it. We don't look at it, except if you ask for help or the law requires it.
Writing stories
When you ask the app to write a story, the characters' names and the story choices you made are sent to Groq, an AI service, so it can write the text. This includes the place, kind of story, your idea and the length. The drawings themselves are not sent. Groq returns the story and we don't keep a copy anywhere except in your book.
Reading aloud
"Read to me" uses voices that run on your device: Piper voices, which download once from Hugging Face, or the phone's built-in voices. The story text isn't sent anywhere to be read aloud.
Camera and photos
The app asks for camera access only so you can take photos of drawings.
Service providers
| Provider | What for | What they receive |
|---|---|---|

| Groq | Writes the text of stories when you ask | The characters' names and your story choices. Not the drawings. |
| Hugging Face | Hosts the Piper voice files | A one-time download of a voice you choose. No story text. |

Children
Drawing Wall is for a parent or guardian to use with their children. Accounts are created by the adult. We don't knowingly collect personal information directly from children, and the only things about a child the app holds are the drawings and names the adult chooses to add.
Deleting your account and data
- In the app: tap ⋯ (top right), then Delete account, then tap it again to confirm. This removes your account, every drawing, photo, collage and book, straight away.
- By email: write to the address below from your account's email and ask us to delete your account. We'll delete it within 30 days.
Uninstalling the app removes anything kept only on the device.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
