Drawing Playground ("the Service") is a free, real-time collaborative drawing tool. This page explains what data is collected when you use it and how it is handled.
Some pages of this Service display ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can learn more about how Google uses data and manage your ad preferences at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
Drawings and session data exist only while a playground session is active and are permanently discarded when the session ends or expires. We do not retain drawings or names after that point.
Anything drawn or typed on the Service belongs to the person who created it. The host running a playground session can optionally save a snapshot of everything currently on the big screen as an image file. This happens entirely in the host's own browser — the image is generated on their device and downloaded directly to it; it is never uploaded to or stored by us. What the host does with that saved image afterward (keeping it as a personal memento, sharing it with participants, etc.) is their own responsibility, the same as if they had taken a photo of a physical drawing wall at an event.
The Service does not require any personal information to participate — no name, email, or account is required, and the optional name field is not verified or linked to any identity. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children beyond what is voluntarily and optionally entered into the drawing screen.
