Our Commitment to Your Privacy
Welcome to CanvasFlow. This application is designed, developed, and maintained by a solo developer dedicated to providing a powerful creative tool while respecting your privacy.
This policy outlines our principles regarding information. The core principle is simple: CanvasFlow collects no personal data and includes no user analytics or tracking whatsoever. Your creations and your activity within the app are yours alone.
Information We Do Not Collect
CanvasFlow is built to be a private space for your ideas. We do not collect, store, transmit, or have access to any personally identifiable information (PII). This includes, but is not limited to:
- Your name, email address, or contact details.
- Your device identifiers, location data, or IP address.
- Any content you create within the app (images, text, drawings, etc.). All data is stored locally on your device unless you choose to export it.
- Usage data, analytics, crash reports, or performance metrics tied to you as an individual.
Anonymous Feedback
CanvasFlow includes a feature that allows you to provide valuable feedback, such as bug reports or feature requests. When you submit feedback, this information is sent to the developer.
This process is completely anonymous. The feedback system does not attach any personal or device information to your submission. Its sole purpose is to help improve the application for everyone.
