Welcome to Longhand. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect data when you use our drawing and sketch-sharing application.
Longhand is developed and operated by Botto Studio. If you have any questions about this policy, please contact us at the email address provided at the end of this document.
Longhand does not require you to create an account or share any personal details. Your drawings are created and stored on your device. When you choose to share a sketch, the app generates a random, unguessable link (share link) that allows others to view your creation. We do not associate these links with any user identity or personal information.
We use lightweight analytics tools (such as Firebase Analytics or Cloudflare Analytics) to understand how the app is used and to improve performance. This may include:
This data is anonymous and cannot be used to identify you personally.
We do not collect or store:
We use analytics data to:
We never use analytics data for advertising or tracking you across other apps or websites.
All your drawings remain stored locally on your device unless you explicitly share them. We do not have access to your sketches or personal files.
When you share a drawing, a random URL is generated so that others can view it. These links contain no personal data and are not publicly listed. Sketches shared this way remain available as long as the link exists.
Anonymous analytics data is processed by the analytics provider (e.g. Firebase Analytics or Cloudflare Analytics) under their own privacy and security policies. See Google's Privacy Policy or Cloudflare's Privacy Policy for more information.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including:
Longhand uses the following third-party service(s):
You can limit analytics sharing on iOS by going to:
Settings > Privacy > Analytics & Improvements > Share iPhone Analytics.
Because all drawings are stored locally, you can delete them at any time by:
Shared sketches can be removed by deleting the file or link from your device.
Analytics data is fully anonymized and cannot be tied to an individual user. If you have concerns about analytics collection, please contact us.
Longhand does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The app is safe for general audiences and collects no personally identifiable data.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. Updates will be posted on this page with a new "Last Updated" date. Significant changes may also be communicated through the app or our website.
Longhand is available worldwide. Anonymous analytics data may be processed in the United States or other regions where our analytics providers operate. These transfers comply with applicable data-protection laws.
California residents have certain rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Because Longhand collects only anonymous analytics data and no personally identifiable information, most of these rights do not apply. We do not sell personal information. If you have any questions or requests, please contact us.
If you are located in the EEA, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including rights of access, erasure, and objection. As Longhand collects only anonymous analytics data, these rights are limited in practice. You can opt-out of analytics through your device settings.
