# Privacy policy

Last updated October 30, 2026 [iHux](https://ihux.co) Solutions FZ-LLC

We built Pencilbloom so your drawings and photos stay yours. This page explains what we collect, why, and how to delete it. The full privacy policy for all [iHux](https://ihux.co) apps: [iHux](https://ihux.co).

## In short

- Your photos stay private to your account
- No sign-up needed
- Analytics on this website only run if you allow them
- Delete your data any time

## 1. What we collect

In the app: usage events (which screens you open, which lessons you finish) and crash reports, so we can find and fix problems. You don’t need to sign up: the app keeps your pictures and progress in a private account of its own. Purchases are handled by Apple and Google.

just enough to fix bugs

## 2. Your photos and drawings

When you turn one of your own photos into lines, the app uploads it to your private storage and our server finds the lines in it. We keep the photo privately with that picture so the lines can be made again. The photos and time-lapses of your finished drawings are saved the same way. None of them is ever public or shown to anyone else, unless you share a drawing with a link yourself.

private to your account

## 3. Analytics and cookies

This website uses no advertising cookies. Google Analytics and OpenPanel run only if you allow them. OpenPanel runs on our own server and keeps nothing in your browser. Here is everything the site keeps in your browser:

What this website keeps in your browser

| Name | What it does | Kept for |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `pb_lang` Cookie (SameSite=Lax) · strictly necessary | Set when you pick a language, so the site opens in it next time. | 1 year |
| `pb_get_app` Session storage · strictly necessary | Only on a phone, when you tap an App Store or Google Play button on a lesson or coloring page: remembers that page, so when you come back it can offer to continue there in the app. | Until you close the tab |
| `pb_consent` Cookie (SameSite=Lax) · strictly necessary | Remembers whether you allowed analytics, so the cookie note doesn’t come back. | 1 year |
| `_ga` Cookie · analytics, only after you allow it | Google Analytics: counts visits and which lessons help. Set only after you allow it. | 1 year |
| `_ga_<id>` Cookie · analytics, only after you allow it | Google Analytics: counts visits and which lessons help. Set only after you allow it. | 1 year |

### Lesson requests

When you ask for a lesson, we store only the subject, the language and the date, never who asked. To stop abuse, your IP address is kept in a short-lived store for about an hour and is never saved with the request.

### Contact form

When you write to us through the contact form, your name, email and message go to our support inbox, only so we can reply to you.

nothing to track you

## 4. Your choices and rights

Delete everything from your profile in the app (Delete account): your photos, drawings and progress are removed for good. You can also write to us to ask for a copy of your data or to have it deleted. Residents of the EU, the UK and Türkiye (KVKK) have these rights by law.

Responsible for your data: [iHux](https://ihux.co) Solutions FZ-LLC, [hello@ihux.co](mailto:hello@ihux.co), New Mexico, USA · Dubai, UAE · Istanbul, Türkiye.
