Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 16, 2026

Krita Project Foundation GE respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use our mobile drawing and image-editing application, referred to below as the “App.”

1. Information We Collect

The App does not require users to create an account.

We do not directly collect personal information such as your name, postal address, phone number, payment details, or precise location through the App.

The App does not sell personal information and does not use personal information for advertising or cross-app tracking.

2. Photos, Images, and Files

The App may request access to photos, images, documents, or device storage when you choose to:

  • open an image or project
  • import creative content
  • save or export your work
  • manage files created with the App

This access is used only to provide the feature you request.

Your drawings, images, and project files are processed locally on your device. We do not upload these files to our servers or access their contents remotely.

You can manage the App’s permissions at any time through your device settings.

3. Device Permissions

Depending on your device and the features you use, the App may request permission to access:

  • photos and media
  • files or device storage
  • the camera, if an image-import feature is available

Permissions are requested only when they are needed for a specific App feature. You may decline a permission, although the related feature may not work without it.

4. Technical and Diagnostic Information

The current version of the App does not intentionally collect analytics, advertising identifiers, or information used to track users across apps or websites.

App stores, operating-system providers, or device manufacturers may independently process limited technical information, such as download activity, device information, crash reports, or purchase information, according to their own privacy policies.

If we add analytics, crash-reporting services, cloud storage, advertising, accounts, or other features that collect information in the future, we will update this Privacy Policy and the relevant App Store and Google Play disclosures before those practices are introduced.

5. Communications and Support

If you contact us by email, we may receive:

  • your email address
  • your name, if provided
  • the content of your message
  • files or screenshots you choose to attach
  • technical information you voluntarily provide

We use this information only to respond to your request, provide support, investigate technical issues, and maintain necessary business records.

We do not sell or rent support information.

6. Sharing of Information

We do not share personal information collected through the App with advertisers or data brokers.

Information may be shared only when reasonably necessary:

  • with service providers that help us operate email or technical support
  • to comply with a legal obligation or valid government request
  • to protect the rights, safety, and security of users, our organization, or others
  • in connection with a merger, restructuring, or transfer of the project, subject to applicable law

Service providers may process information only for the purposes for which it was provided.

7. Data Retention

Files created or edited in the App remain on your device until you modify or delete them.

Information sent to us through support emails may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your enquiry, resolve technical issues, maintain business records, or comply with legal obligations.

When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize it.

8. Data Deletion Requests

Because the App does not currently create user accounts or store users’ creative files on our servers, there is generally no App account or cloud content for us to delete.

You can delete locally stored projects and exported files directly from the App or through your device’s file-management tools.

To request the deletion of information you previously sent to us by email, contact: dev@krita-project.com

Please provide enough information for us to identify the relevant communication. We may need to retain limited information when required by law or for legitimate security and record-keeping purposes.

9. Children’s Privacy

The App is a general-purpose creative tool and is not specifically directed to children.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children through the App. If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can review and delete it where appropriate.

10. International Users

Information submitted to us by email may be processed in the country where our organization or email service providers operate.

Where applicable, we handle personal information in accordance with relevant data-protection requirements.

11. Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information under our control.

However, no electronic transmission or storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

12. Third-Party Services and Links

The App may contain links to third-party websites, open-source resources, or external services.

Those third parties operate under their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of third-party services.

13. Open-Source Software

The App may include open-source software components. The use of open-source code does not give the original open-source contributors access to your files or personal information through our App.

Information about applicable open-source licences may be provided within the App or on our website.

14. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the App, our data practices, or applicable requirements change.

The updated policy will be published on this page with a revised effective date. Material changes may also be communicated through the App or its store listing where appropriate.
