Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 2, 2026

This policy explains what information Talma collects when you use the Talma app for iOS and the talma-drawing.com website, and how it is used. "We" and "us" mean the operator named below.

Who we are

Talma is operated by Alina Dauhaliova, a sole proprietor registered in Portugal, European Union, who is the data controller. Contact: hello@talma-drawing.com.

The short version

• No account needed. There's no sign-up and we don't ask for your name or email.
• Your drawings and progress stay on your device.
• We collect anonymous usage data only for our internal operations: to run, analyse and improve the app.
• No ads, no advertising trackers, and we never sell your data.

What we collect in the app

Usage data. The app sends usage events, for example: a lesson was started or finished, a screen was viewed, a lesson was rated. These events come with technical details (device model, iOS and app version, language, region, time zone, accessibility settings) and your answers to the questions in the app's intro: who is going to draw, the age you enter, your goals and how you heard about Talma. Events are tied to a random installation ID created by the app. The ID is hashed before it leaves your device, it isn't your Apple ID or advertising ID, and we can't use it to work out who you are.

Purchase data. Subscriptions are purchased and paid for through Apple. We receive the status of your subscription (for example, which plan is active and when it renews) and the price and store country of a purchase, together with an app-specific device identifier that Apple provides to app developers, so your purchases work and can be restored. We never receive your payment details.

Technical request data. When the app loads lessons and settings from our servers, those servers briefly process your IP address and basic request details, as any internet service does.

On your device only. Your drawings, gallery, progress and reminder settings are stored on your device, and we don't receive them. Drawing reminders are scheduled by your device. If you save a drawing to Photos or share it, that happens on your device through iOS.

App Store reviews. If you post a public review of Talma on the App Store, we may keep its text and your nickname so we can respond and improve the app.

We don't collect contacts, precise location, photos from your library, or advertising identifiers, and we don't track you across other companies' apps or websites.

The website

talma-drawing.com is hosted by Vercel. Like any web host, Vercel processes your IP address to deliver the page. We use Vercel Web Analytics and TelemetryDeck to count visits and clicks on the App Store button. Neither uses cookies or identifies individual visitors.

Why we use it

• To run the app: deliver lessons, unlock purchases, and keep things working (performance of our contract with you).
• To understand how the app is used and how people find it, and to improve it (our legitimate interest in running and developing the app; you can object at any time — see "Your rights").
• To meet legal and accounting obligations.

We use everything we collect only for our internal operations: to run, maintain, analyse and improve the app, and to process purchases. We never use it to contact you, build a profile of you or show you ads. We don't sell or rent your personal data, and we don't share it for advertising.

Service providers

We use these service providers to run Talma. They process data only on our behalf:

• TelemetryDeck — app and website usage analytics.
• RevenueCat — subscription management.
• Supabase — servers for lesson content and app settings.
• Apple — app distribution and payments.
• Vercel — website hosting and website analytics.

Some of them process data outside the European Economic Area, mainly in the United States. In that case the transfer is protected by the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or, where the provider is certified, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

How long we keep it

We keep information only as long as we need it for the purposes above:

• Usage data — as long as it's useful for analysing and improving the app.
• Purchase data — while your subscription history matters for providing it, and as required by tax and accounting law.
• Technical request data — briefly, in short-lived server logs.

Earlier versions of the app

Earlier versions offered an optional Sign in with Apple to back up drawings, used Amplitude for analytics and OneSignal for notifications. The current version doesn't offer sign-in, back up drawings or use either service. If you signed in on an earlier version, a copy of your drawings and progress may still be on our servers until we delete it; you can ask us to delete it sooner by emailing hello@talma-drawing.com.

Children and families

Talma is a general-audience app for learning to draw. Adults use it on their own and with their children, and children may draw on a family device.

When you start, Talma asks who is going to draw and how old they are. We use the answer to adapt the app, for example to suggest first lessons. The age is also part of our anonymous usage data.

From a child, we collect only the usage and technical data described above, and only to run, analyse and improve the app — never to contact the child, build a profile or show ads. We don't ask children for their name, email address, photos or location, and there's no account or chat.

Parents can ask us to stop this collection or to review or delete data at hello@talma-drawing.com.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your personal data, to object to or restrict its processing, and to complain to a data protection authority. In Portugal, that's the CNPD (Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados).

To use these rights, email hello@talma-drawing.com. We'll reply within the time limit set by law and may ask for information we need to handle your request.

Because the usage data is tied only to a hashed random ID, we usually can't link it to you. In that case, we may be unable to find or delete it, unless you give us extra information that identifies your data. You can always stop it from being collected by deleting the app.

Governing law and disputes

This policy is governed by the laws of Portugal. Disputes are resolved by the competent authorities of Portugal. This doesn't affect your right to complain to a data protection authority or other rights you have under mandatory law.

Changes

We may update this policy. The current version is always on this page, with the date it was last updated. If a change materially affects how we use your data, we'll tell you where the law requires it.
