Privacy Policy

ColorCraft · Developer: GF43 · Effective October 31, 2026

This policy explains how ColorCraft handles information when it turns your photos into paint-by-number pictures. The app does not require an account and has no server of its own.

Your photos and paintings

You choose a photo with the system photo picker or take one with the camera. The photo is processed on your device to make the painting. The app keeps a copy of the photo, the painting made from it and your painting progress in the app's private storage on your device.

GF43 does not receive, upload to a server, sell, or share your photos, paintings or progress. They leave your device only when you export or share them yourself (a template, palette, image, PDF, MP4 video or project file) to a place you choose. When you restore from a project file, the app reads only the file you picked.

Data stored on your device

Besides your paintings, the app stores your settings (theme, language, haptics, paper size and print options), the number of exports and the time of the last full-screen ad (so ads do not appear too often), whether the painting tip has been shown, and your Pro purchase receipt. You can delete a painting in the app, or remove everything by clearing the app's data or uninstalling the app.

Advertising and third-party services

The free version uses Google AdMob to show ads. The Google Mobile Ads SDK may automatically process IP address, advertising or device/app identifiers, device information, ad interactions, and diagnostics to deliver, measure, protect, and improve advertising. Google processes and retains this information under its own policies. Once you have bought Pro, the app shows no ads.

See the Google Privacy Policy and how Google uses information from partner apps.

Consent and advertising choices

Where required by law, the app uses Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) to request and store your choices before initializing advertising. You can change your choices in the app's Settings > Ad privacy choices, or manage your advertising identifier in your device settings.

Purchases

Pro is bought through Google Play. Google Play handles payment under Google's policies; GF43 does not receive your payment details. The app only stores the purchase receipt on your device and checks it with Google Play to remember that Pro is unlocked.

Device permissions

Camera permission is requested only when you tap to take a photo to paint; you can deny or revoke it in your device settings and still choose an existing photo. The app does not request microphone, storage or photo library permissions. Internet access is used for ads and Google Play, and vibration for touch feedback.

Children

The app is not directed to children under 13, and GF43 does not knowingly collect personal information directly from children.

Security and retention

The data described above remains in the app's storage area on your device until you delete it or uninstall the app. No storage or transmission method is completely secure. Information processed by Google is retained under Google's policies.

Policy changes

We may update this policy when app functionality or legal requirements change. The new version and effective date will be posted at this URL.
