TRACA

TRACA has no accounts and no login. Your drawings, photos and profile never leave your phone. We use a few services to deliver drawings, handle subscriptions, fix crashes, send notifications and understand which features are used, and none of them receive your name, photos or anything you type.

Your name, chosen face, favourites and finished traces are stored only on your device. The camera is used live, on‑device, to show artwork over your paper. Nothing is recorded or sent anywhere unless you press the shutter, and then it goes to your own photo library. Reference photos stay on your device and are never uploaded. We download drawings from our servers; we don’t upload your content to them. Delete the app and the data on your phone goes with it, with one exception described below.

1. WHO WE ARE
TRACA is an iOS app that lets you trace reference artwork by overlaying it on your camera view while you draw on paper. This policy covers the TRACA iOS app only. Questions: manali.devloper@gmail.com

2. WHAT’S STORED ON YOUR DEVICE
The app keeps a small local profile so it can remember your setup between launches. None of it is sent to us. It includes:

• display name and chosen face

• skill and interest answers

• favourites, finished traces, streak and badges

• time in app

• free traces used

• subscription status

• app language and the language chosen for Trace a Word

• cached artwork, for offline use

If you use the AR mode, the photo you take of your sticky note, and the corners you mark on it, are also saved on your device so you can reuse the same note next time. This photo is never uploaded. Taking a new note photo replaces it, and deleting the app removes it.

One thing that outlives the app: your free‑trace count is also stored in the device’s secure keychain, so the free allowance can’t be reset by reinstalling. It contains nothing but a number, and is removed only if you erase your device or reset its keychain.

3. CAMERA
Camera access is needed to overlay artwork on a live view of your paper, including the AR mode. The feed is processed on‑device and is never recorded, stored or transmitted. A frame is saved only if you press the shutter or record button, and it goes to your own photo library, not to us. The one exception is the sticky‑note photo in AR mode, which stays on your device as described in Section 2. You can revoke camera access in Settings > TRACA > Camera. Tracing with the camera won’t work without it, but the rest of the app will.

4. PHOTOS AND THINGS YOU CREATE
Saving captures: taking a photo or video while tracing, or saving a Show It Off card, asks for add‑only photo library access. The app can save new items but can’t read, browse or delete existing ones. Free‑plan captures carry a small on‑device watermark; PRO removes it. Videos are recorded without sound.

Using your own picture (Magic Outline): this opens the system photo picker, which gives the app only the one image you select. The image is processed on your device to find its outline and is never uploaded or saved by us.

Trace a Word: the word you type is turned into lettering on your device. It is not stored or sent anywhere.

Draw My Idea: pictures are created by Apple’s on‑device Image Playground. Your description and the resulting image stay on your device and are not sent to us or to any AI service.

5. NOTIFICATIONS
If you allow notifications, TRACA sends:

• a morning note about the Drawing of the Day,

• an evening reminder to draw,

• occasional announcements, such as new drawings or offers.

The morning and evening notes are created on your phone. Announcements are delivered by Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google), which gives your device an anonymous push address (token). To decide who gets which announcement, your device is placed in general groups based only on:

• the app’s language

• free or PRO plan

You can turn notifications off anytime in Settings > TRACA > Notifications.

6. WHAT LEAVES YOUR DEVICE

• TRACA catalogue server: requests the artwork list (no personal data) to load categories and drawings.

• Image CDN: requests specific artwork files to download for tracing.

• RevenueCat: receives an anonymous subscriber ID, purchase receipts and device/OS version, to verify subscription status.

• Apple: handles payment entirely through the App Store. We never see payment details.

• Firebase Analytics (Google): receives anonymous usage events so we can see which features are used and improve the app. Examples: a drawing was opened, a trace was started or finished, a feature was opened, the subscription screen was shown, a notification was opened. It also receives the app language, free or PRO plan, the skill level you picked, device model, iOS version, app version and an approximate country or region derived from your connection. It uses a random app‑instance ID and is not linked to your name or Apple ID. It never receives your photos, drawings, captures, the words you type or your Draw My Idea descriptions. It is not used for advertising, and we do not use the advertising identifier (IDFA).

• Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google): receives your device’s push token and notification groups (language, plan) to deliver notifications. See Section 5.

• Firebase Crashlytics (Google): collects anonymous crash reports, such as the device model, iOS version and the state of the app when it crashed. We use this only to find and fix bugs. It is not linked to your identity and is not used for advertising or tracking.

Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

As with any internet request, contacted servers can see your IP address and standard connection info, used only to deliver the requested content. The app also links out to Instagram, the App Store, Apple’s subscription settings and our help page, each governed by its own privacy policy once opened.

7. SUBSCRIPTIONS
TRACA PRO is an auto‑renewing subscription sold through the App Store. Apple takes payment and we never receive card details. RevenueCat manages subscription status using a randomly generated anonymous ID, not linked to your name, email or Apple ID. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings > Apple Account > Subscriptions, or from the link in the app’s profile.

8. WHAT WE NEVER DO

• No accounts, sign‑up or passwords.

• No advertising and no advertising identifier.

• No tracking across other apps or websites.

• No selling, renting or sharing your data.

• No uploading your photos, drawings, captures or anything you type.

Because we collect no name, email or account information, we hold nothing that identifies you personally.

9. CHILDREN
TRACA is general‑audience and not directed at children under 13; we don’t knowingly collect personal information from anyone. Parents wanting to restrict purchases should use Apple’s Screen Time and Ask to Buy controls.

10. YOUR CHOICES

• Edit your name and face anytime from the profile screen.

• Revoke camera or photo permissions in Settings > TRACA.

• Turn notifications off in Settings > TRACA > Notifications.

• Delete the app to remove your profile, history, sticky‑note photo and cached artwork. The keychain free‑trace count is the one exception; see Section 2.

You may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data. We hold none that identifies you, but you can write in if you believe otherwise.

11. RETENTION
Data on your device stays there until you delete it or the app. We run no user database. Anonymous analytics data is kept by Google Analytics for up to 14 months, and crash reports for up to 90 days. Server logs from artwork requests are kept only as long as needed to run and secure the service.

12. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
Material changes will update the date above and be flagged in the app. We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, so please review this page periodically.
