Privacy Policy

We collect as little as we can get away with.

No account, just a cookie

You can play without signing up. When you first draw, we set a single anonymous session cookie — a random, signed ID — so we can remember which fighters are yours when you come back. We also assign that browser identity a public sequence label such as “anonymous doodler #123” so people can recognize and browse an unsigned artist's public drawings. It isn't tied to your name, email, or offline identity. Clear the cookie and you're a stranger to us again: the public drawings remain visible, but you lose their owner controls unless you previously claimed the account.

What we store

Your drawings — the PNG you submit and a thumbnail of it.
Fighter & battle data — names, generated stats, and battle results (wins, losses, the turn-by-turn log).
Minimal analytics events — anonymous signals like "a drawing was started" or "a battle was viewed," so we can tell whether the game is actually fun. We do not use these events for fingerprinting.

Optional recovery ads

When rewarded recovery ads are enabled, an eligible fighter owner may choose to ask Google H5 Games Ads for an advertisement. We never show forced, startup, interstitial, or post-battle ads. Google may process cookies or local storage, device and browser information, IP-derived network information, consent choices, and ad-delivery events to serve, secure, limit, and measure that optional ad. We apply Google's treatment-for-teens signal to every request, which restricts ad personalization and sensitive categories without asking for a birthday.

Where required, Google's certified consent message lets visitors manage advertising choices before an ad request. Learn more in Google's Privacy Policy and its advertising explanation. Choosing not to watch never interrupts ordinary eight-hour recovery.

We don't sell your data

We do not sell, rent, or trade your data or your drawings. We use them to run Drawn to Battle and to make it better — nothing else. Battles and fighter pages are public by design (that's the fun), so don't draw anything you wouldn't want a stranger to see.

Want your fighters and drawings deleted, or have a privacy question? Email hello@drawntobattle.com and we'll sort it out. See also our Terms of Use.
