Private by default.

1. Information the app collects

PixelPad does not collect personal data, create user accounts, include analytics SDKs, track users across apps or websites, or send project content to a PixelPad server. From version 1.1.0 it includes the advertising SDKs described under Advertising; version 1.0.0 included none.

2. Projects, files, and exports

Projects and palette presets are stored locally on your device. When you import or export a project, PNG, GIF, or sprite sheet, Apple’s system file picker or share sheet handles the destination you choose. Any third-party app or storage provider you select operates under its own privacy policy.

3. Network use

Core drawing, animation, storage, and export features do not require a network connection. From version 1.1.0 the banner in the project gallery uses the network to fetch an advertisement; the app itself does not use your projects or app data for profiling, advertising, or tracking. Opening an external link or sending an email uses the service you choose and its privacy policy.

4. Support communications

If you email PixelPad Support, the email address, message, and attachments you choose to provide are used only to answer the request, diagnose the reported issue, and maintain reasonable support records. Support messages are not sold or used for advertising. You may request deletion of a support message by replying to the same conversation.

5. Website delivery and security

This static website does not set advertising or analytics cookies. The hosting provider and Cloudflare, which delivers and protects the site, may process limited technical information such as IP address, browser details, request time, and security events to operate and secure the service. PixelPad does not use that information to build user profiles or serve ads.

6. Data retention and deletion

PixelPad does not receive or retain your app projects. You control project deletion within the app and can remove local app data by deleting projects or the app, subject to device backups and exported copies. Support communications are kept only as reasonably necessary to resolve and document the request, unless a longer period is required by law.

7. Children’s privacy

PixelPad does not knowingly collect personal information from children through the app and does not use personal data for profiling, advertising, or tracking.

8. Changes to this policy

If a future release adds accounts, optional cloud storage, online sharing, analytics, or another data practice, this policy and the App Store privacy disclosure will be updated before that feature is released. The effective date above will also be revised.

Advertising — version 1.1.0 and later

Effective September 10, 2026. From version 1.1.0 PixelPad shows one banner advertisement at the top of the project gallery. There are no advertisements in the drawing editor, no full-screen or rewarded advertisements, and no advertisements during export. Version 1.0.0 contained no advertising and no advertising SDK.

Advertisements are delivered through Unity LevelPlay 9.6.0 (mediation), Unity Ad Quality 9.9.0 (invalid-traffic and ad-quality checks) and the Unity Ads network 4.20.0 through LevelPlay adapter 5.11.0.

PixelPad requests non-personalised advertising only. Before the advertising SDK starts, the app refuses GDPR consent for personalised advertising and sets the CCPA “do not sell or share” signal. PixelPad shows no App Tracking Transparency prompt, does not ask for the advertising identifier for tracking, and does not track you across other companies’ apps or websites.

PixelPad passes no artwork, project file, project name, exported image, support message or account identifier to the advertising SDK, and sets no user identifier or audience segment. Your projects stay on your device exactly as described above.

To fill and measure a banner the Unity SDKs process technical information of their own: device and operating-system characteristics, network information including the country derived from your IP address, a resettable advertising identifier limited to advertising use, and advertisement events such as request, fill, display and click. Unity Ad Quality processes the same events to detect invalid traffic and fraud. Apple’s SKAdNetwork may report an install attribution to an advertiser without identifying you. Unity acts under its own policies for this data, including international transfer and retention. PixelPad does not receive it, cannot access it, and stores none of it.

Because only non-personalised advertising is requested, PixelPad collects no advertising consent and there is none to withdraw. Reading this page does not grant consent. Apple’s device controls still apply: Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking, and Settings › Privacy & Security › Apple Advertising. Questions and requests about advertising can be sent to [email protected].

PixelPad is not directed primarily to children, does not knowingly collect personal information from children, and is configured as not child-directed with the advertising provider.

Provider references: Unity Game Player and App User Privacy Policy and Unity Privacy Policy Hub. These references supplement, rather than replace, PixelPad’s policy. If the advertising configuration changes — a new network, personalised advertising, or a different placement — this section, its effective date and the App Store privacy disclosure will be updated before that release ships.
