Privacy Policy

Updated 30 October 2026

This policy explains what information Creakyhat collects when you use AtlasDraw (the apps for Windows and Mac) and this website, atlasdraw.com, and what we do with it.

In short: the AtlasDraw apps don't collect any personal data, and this website doesn't use cookies, analytics or advertising.

We may change this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll change the date at the top, and for a significant change we'll say so on this page.

What changed on 30 October 2026: the apps can now download shape libraries from GitHub. See Shape libraries below.

The AtlasDraw apps

• AtlasDraw works entirely on your computer. There's no account or sign-in, and the apps don't send your drawings, settings or anything about you to us or to anyone else. The only thing they fetch from the internet is the shape library catalogue, described below.
• The apps contain no analytics, advertising or tracking, and no built-in crash reporting.
• Your drawings are files that you save wherever you choose. If you keep them in a cloud folder such as iCloud Drive or OneDrive, that service stores them under its own privacy policy.
• Your settings, your shape library and your saved effects are stored on your computer and are never sent to us.
• Links in the apps open in your web browser.

Shape libraries

The apps can download free shape libraries from our AtlasDraw-Libraries page on GitHub. They fetch the list of libraries and their preview pictures when you open Browse libraries, the libraries you choose to install, and, once a day while you have libraries installed, the list again to see whether any of them have been updated. You can turn that daily check off in Settings with Check for library updates; the list is then only fetched when you open Browse libraries.

These are ordinary downloads. They don't include your drawings, your settings, an account or any identifier, and nothing is sent to us. Like any website, GitHub sees your IP address and which files were asked for; the GitHub privacy statement covers what it does with that. Installed libraries are kept on your computer.

Buying and downloading AtlasDraw

AtlasDraw is sold through the Mac App Store and the Microsoft Store, which handle the purchase, payment and (on Windows) the free trial. We never see your payment details. The stores give us sales reports and, depending on the settings on your device, crash reports and usage figures. These don't identify you to us. The Apple and Microsoft privacy policies cover what the stores collect.

This website

• The site sets no cookies and has no analytics, advertising or third-party content. Its fonts and images come from the site itself.
• It remembers one choice in your browser's local storage: whether you're shown Windows or Mac screenshots. That choice stays on your device, and clearing your browser's site data removes it.
• The site is hosted by Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes technical information to deliver and protect the site, such as your IP address, your browser type and the page you asked for, and it keeps logs of it for a limited time. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.

When you contact us

If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to send. We use it only to reply to you and to help with your question. We keep it only as long as we need to for that.

Feedback you post on GitHub or Reddit is public, and those services' own privacy policies cover it. Please don't include personal information there.

Children

AtlasDraw isn't aimed at children, and the apps and this website don't collect personal data from anyone.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law, you can ask us what personal data we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it. In practice, the only personal data we hold is in emails you've sent us. If you're unhappy with how we've handled your data, please contact us first. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.
