Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 2026
Welcome to Mandaly. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and handle your data. Mandaly is designed for a general audience and is not intended for children under the age of 13.
1. Data Collection for Advertising
To keep Mandaly free, we partner with Google AdMob to display in-app advertisements. If you grant permission via the iOS App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt, AdMob may collect certain information to serve personalized ads. This includes:
- Device Identifiers (such as Apple's IDFA).
- Coarse location data.
- App usage data and interaction metrics.
You can manage or revoke this tracking permission at any time in your iOS device Settings under Privacy & Security > Tracking.
2. Analytics and Crash Reporting
We use Google Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics to monitor app performance, track bugs, and understand how users interact with Mandaly. Data collected includes in-app search queries, purchase events (product identifier, currency, and amount — not payment details), screen interactions, feature usage, and performance timing. This data is aggregated and anonymous — it is not used to identify you personally.
Whether and when this data is collected depends on your region:
- EEA, UK, and Switzerland: Analytics collection is off by default. It only begins if you explicitly enable it via Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Privacy → "Share App Analytics". If you never turn it on — or if you turn it off — no data is ever sent. Any events that accumulated on your device before a decision is made are permanently deleted, not transmitted.
- All other regions: Analytics collection starts automatically once the app determines your region (typically within a few seconds of first launch). You can disable it at any time in Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Privacy.
Crash reporting (Crashlytics) is governed by the same toggle as Analytics — they are not independent. Advertising data collection via AdMob is a completely separate system managed through the iOS App Tracking Transparency prompt described in Section 1.
3. Local Storage and iCloud Backups
Your coloring progress, finished artwork, and app settings are stored locally on your device. We do not have access to your drawings. If you enable iCloud Backup in the app, your data is securely synced to your personal Apple CloudKit account. We cannot view, access, or read your iCloud backups. Deleting the app removes local data, and you can manage your iCloud backups directly through your Apple ID settings.
4. In-App Purchases
Mandaly offers an optional "Remove Ads" Premium upgrade. All transactions are processed securely and entirely by Apple. We do not collect, process, or have any access to your credit card information, billing address, or financial details. We do log anonymized purchase event data (product identifier, currency, and amount) to Firebase Analytics for performance tracking — this is entirely separate from your payment information.
5. Customer Support
If you contact us for support or feedback via email, we will only see the email address you use to send the message. We use this address exclusively to reply to your inquiry. We will never sell your email or add it to a marketing list.
6. Children's Privacy
Mandaly is rated 13+ (or higher depending on your region) and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.
7. Changes and Contact
We may update this policy periodically to reflect changes in our services or legal requirements. If you have questions regarding this Privacy Policy or our data practices, please contact us at:
