on this website

the interactive previews run in your browser. the drawing you make here isn’t sent to our servers, shared with a partner, or saved to an account. downloading a doodle saves a file on your device. this website does not add advertising trackers or analytics scripts.

our hosting provider serves the website and processes the connection information needed to serve and protect it, such as ip addresses and request details. fonts and artwork are served with the website.

in the charms app

charms stores your display name, birthday, gender, pixel charm, saved looks, connection, actions, and board so the app can work. we use your birthday to remind your linked person on the day. your birth year and gender aren’t included in their profile view or the reminder.

you sign in with apple or google. we use the verified identity to manage your account. your connection starts only when both people agree. your linked person can see your shared charm, the actions you send, and your shared board.

subscriptions

apple handles payments. our subscription provider receives your charms account identifier, purchase information, and technical device information to validate and restore subscription access. charms checks your subscription status on its server. neither charms nor our subscription provider receives your payment card details.

understanding what works

the app automatically counts things like completed setup steps, actions sent, and features opened. these statistics are stored as daily totals. they don’t include your name, birthday, gender, artwork, partner details, account identifier, or a device identifier. we don’t build individual analytics profiles or use these statistics for advertising.

managing your account

you can disconnect from your person or delete your account from the app’s settings. deleting your account does not cancel an apple subscription; manage that separately in your apple account.

charms requires users to be at least 13. the app does not accept photo or video uploads.
