4PAWSLABS

Privacy Policy

Effective date: 24 September 2026 ยท Applies to the PixelCraft mobile app

4PawsLabs ("we", "us", "our") operates PixelCraft, a mobile app that guides you step by step through hand-painting pixel art designs on paper or canvas, then helps you photograph and share the finished result. This Policy explains what information PixelCraft handles, and why.

PixelCraft has no accounts. There is no sign-up, no login, no email address, and no phone number anywhere in the app. This Policy is short because the app collects very little.

1. Information the app stores on your device

PixelCraft stores all of your app data locally on your own device only, using standard on-device storage. This includes:

None of this is linked to your identity, and none of it leaves your device unless you choose to share a collage (see Section 3).

2. Camera and photos

PixelCraft uses your device's camera, or your photo gallery as an alternative, only so you can photograph the physical piece you've painted. That photo is used entirely on-device to build a before/after collage with the digital design. We do not upload, transmit, or receive your photos on any server - the app has no photo-upload feature at all.

3. Sharing your collage

When you choose to share or save a finished collage, PixelCraft hands the image to your device's own share sheet or photo library, using your operating system's standard sharing and media-library tools. This only happens when you tap "Share" or "Save" yourself - PixelCraft never shares or uploads anything automatically.

4. Downloading new designs

To offer new pixel art designs over time, PixelCraft periodically checks a public, read-only design catalog we host and downloads new designs when you choose to accept them. This request contains no personal information, no device identifier tied to you, and no account data - it is a plain content fetch, the same as loading a public webpage.

5. What we do not collect

We do not use advertising SDKs, third-party analytics, or crash-reporting SDKs. We do not collect your name, email, phone number, or location. We do not require or support account creation of any kind, and we do not collect or transmit your photos or camera roll contents.

6. App permissions

PixelCraft requests the following device permissions. Some are included by default by the camera and media libraries the app is built on, even though PixelCraft's own features don't use every one of them:

7. Who we share data with

We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with advertisers or data brokers. Since PixelCraft doesn't collect personal data in the first place, there is nothing of yours for us to share with anyone.

8. Your rights (Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023)

Because PixelCraft does not collect or retain personal data on any server, most data-subject rights under India's DPDP Act, 2023 (access, correction, erasure) have nothing to act on - there is no stored record to look up. If you believe we hold something about you that contradicts this Policy, contact us using the details in Section 10 and we'll investigate and respond within 30 days.

9. Children's privacy

PixelCraft does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children, because it does not collect personal information from anyone. There is no account creation, no data collection form, and no field anywhere in the app to enter personal details.

10. Grievance Officer

In accordance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, the Grievance Officer for 4PawsLabs is:

Shubham Selakoti
Email: 4pawslabs@gmail.com
We aim to acknowledge grievances within 48 hours and resolve them within 30 days.

11. Security

Any network requests PixelCraft makes (to fetch new designs) use encrypted connections (HTTPS). Everything else - your progress, settings, and photos - stays on your device and is never transmitted anywhere.

12. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy as PixelCraft's features change - for example, if analytics or in-app purchases are added in the future. Material changes will be reflected in an updated "Effective date" above.
