Dandelion Color privacy policy
Effective 5 October 2026.
Dandelion Color is a coloring-book app for young children. In short: the app collects no information and cannot use the Internet. It saves the pictures children color only on the device, and never sends them anywhere.
Who we are
Dandelion Color is made by TCP3, as part of Dandelion's World. Questions about this policy or the app: privacy@tcp3.com.
No Internet access
The app does not have Android's Internet permission, so Android does not let it send anything off the device. It has no ads, no analytics, no tracking, no social features, no messaging, no profiles, and no accounts or sign-in.
Coloring and saved pictures
- A child's coloring is kept in the app's private storage on the device, so they can come back to a picture later. Only the app can read it.
- When a child taps Save, the picture is saved on the device in the album "Dandelion Color" (the folder Pictures/Dandelion Color). Saved pictures contain no location or other hidden information.
- The app never sends pictures anywhere. The album is part of the device's photo gallery, so other apps that a grown-up has allowed to see photos (for example a photo backup) can see it too. That is controlled in the device's settings, not by this app.
- On Android 8 and 9 the app asks for the storage permission the first time a picture is saved; it needs it only to put the picture in the album.
Settings
The app keeps a few settings on the device: the grown-up switches (such as "Stay in the lines"), the last color picked, which pictures have been started or saved, and, if a grown-up sets one, the grown-up code, kept scrambled (as a hash, not the digits). Only the app uses them.
Purchases
Optional upgrades (Plus, Theme Packs and Everything Forever) are one-time purchases, never subscriptions. They are made in the grown-up area, behind the grown-up check, through Google Play with the Google account on the device. Google Play takes the payment under Google's own privacy policy and tells the app which upgrades that account owns. The app never sees payment details, or the account's name or email address.
Information you send us
If a grown-up emails TCP3, TCP3 receives the sender's email address and whatever the message contains. TCP3 uses it only to reply and to fix problems in the app, and does not share it with anyone else. It is deleted once it is no longer needed for that, or sooner on request to privacy@tcp3.com. Please don't send pictures of children or personal details that aren't needed.
Children
Dandelion Color is designed for children aged 3 to 8. The app collects no personal information from anyone, children included. Settings and purchases are for grown-ups: they sit behind a grown-up check that asks a multiplication question, or a code the grown-up chose.
Keeping and deleting information
- Saved pictures stay in the device's gallery until someone deletes them there. Uninstalling the app does not delete them.
- Uninstalling the app deletes its settings and the coloring in progress. Purchases stay with the Google account.
- The app's own data is left out of Android's backup and out of transfers to a new device, so it is not copied anywhere.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, the new version comes with an app update, with a new effective date at the top.
