Art Tap Fun Privacy Policy

Effective Date: [Insert Date Policy Last Updated - e.g., October 26, 2023]

Welcome to Art Tap Fun! Your privacy, and especially the privacy of children, is incredibly important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how Art Tap Fun ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website (arttap.fun) and use our online coloring game (the "Service").

By using our Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. Please read it carefully.

Information We Collect

We strive to collect as little information as possible, particularly Personal Information, especially from children.

  • Non-Personal Information: When you use the Service, we may automatically collect certain information that does not identify you personally. This may include:
    • Device information (e.g., browser type, operating system, general device characteristics).
    • Usage data (e.g., pages visited, features used like specific tools or categories, time spent on the site, game progress like levels completed - often aggregated and anonymized).
    • Referring website addresses.
    • General geographic location (e.g., country, based on IP address, but not precise location).
    We use this information primarily to understand how users interact with Art Tap Fun so we can improve the game experience, fix bugs, and analyze trends.
  • Personal Information: We define Personal Information as data that can be used to identify an individual.
    • Core Game: We do **not** require you to provide any Personal Information (like name, email, address) to play the core Art Tap Fun coloring game.
    • Contacting Us (Optional): If you choose to contact us directly (e.g., via an email link or contact form [IF YOU HAVE ONE]), we may collect the information you provide, such as your name, email address, and the content of your message, solely to respond to your inquiry.
    • Artwork Saving (Local): When you save your artwork using the "Save" button, the image file is typically saved directly to **your own device**. We do not store copies of your saved artwork on our servers by default linked to any personal identifier. [**VERIFY THIS!** If you *do* store artwork server-side, you MUST explain how it's stored, if it's linked to users, how long it's kept, and get consent if necessary, especially from parents for children.]

How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information for the following purposes:

  • To provide, operate, and maintain our Service.
  • To improve, personalize, and expand our Service based on usage patterns.
  • To understand and analyze how you use our Service.
  • To develop new features, functionality, and services.
  • To respond to your comments, questions, and requests (if you contact us).
  • To detect and prevent technical issues or potential misuse.
  • To fulfill any legal obligations.

We do not sell your Personal Information to third parties.

How We Share Your Information

We do not share your Personal Information except in the limited circumstances described below:

  • Service Providers: We may share non-personal, aggregated, or anonymized data with third-party vendors who perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, analytics (e.g., Google Analytics - using anonymized data), and technical support. These providers are obligated to protect the data and use it only for the services they provide to us.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency).
  • Business Transfers: If Art Tap Fun is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your information might be transferred as part of that transaction. We will provide notice before your information is transferred and becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy.
  • With Your Consent: We may share information for other purposes with your explicit consent (or a parent's verifiable consent for children).

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Like many websites, we may use "cookies" and similar tracking technologies (like web beacons or pixels) to collect Non-Personal Information, enhance user experience, and analyze Service usage. Cookies are small files stored on your device.

  • Functionality Cookies: These might remember preferences or game state locally.
  • Analytics Cookies: These help us understand traffic and usage patterns (usually anonymized).

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, some parts of our Service may not function properly. You can usually find cookie settings in the "Options" or "Preferences" menu of your browser.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the information we collect from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. We use standard security practices like HTTPS encryption. However, please remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Art Tap Fun is intended for a general audience but is designed to be particularly fun for kids. We are committed to protecting the privacy of children.

  • We do **not knowingly collect personally identifiable information** from children under the age of 13 (or the relevant age of consent in other jurisdictions) without verifiable parental consent, or unless the collection falls within a specific exception under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) or other applicable laws.
  • As stated above, the core game functionality does not require Personal Information.
  • If we learn that we have collected Personal Information from a child under 13 without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information as quickly as possible.
  • Parents/Guardians: If you believe that your child has provided us with Personal Information without your consent, please contact us immediately at [Your Contact Email Address]. You have the right to review the information collected from your child, request its deletion, and refuse to allow any further collection or use of your child's information.

Your Data Choices

  • Cookies: You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.
  • Contact Information: If you contacted us and wish to update or delete the information you provided, please email us.
