Summary
Drowning Whiteboard is an offline whiteboard. There is no account to create, no advertising, and no analytics. Everything you draw stays in the app’s own storage on your device. The app does not hold the internet permission, so it cannot send your boards anywhere by itself — content leaves the app only when you choose to export or share it.
What the app stores on your device
All of the following is kept in the app’s private storage and is never transmitted by the app:
•Boards — title, background pattern, paper colour, and the pan/zoom position you left them at.
•Drawing content — strokes, shapes, text, sticky notes and any images you place, together with their colours, sizes and layers.
•Save slots and automatic backups — snapshots of a board, written so that work is not lost if the app is closed unexpectedly.
•Settings — dark mode, the default canvas grid, and whether stylus pressure is used.
•Temporary export files — when you export a board, the file is written to the app’s cache directory so it can be handed to the app you pick. You can clear these at any time by clearing the app’s cache.
The app does not collect names, email addresses, contacts, location, device identifiers, usage statistics or crash reports.
Permissions
The app requests no Android permissions — including no internet permission. It cannot access the camera, microphone, location, contacts or your files, and it cannot make network requests.
Exporting and sharing
When you export a board as PNG, JPEG, WEBP, PDF, SVG or project JSON, the file is created in the app’s cache and passed to the Android share sheet. What happens to it next depends on the app you send it to — email, cloud storage, messaging and so on — and is covered by that app’s own privacy policy, not this one. The app itself never uploads exports.
Android backup
The app allows Android’s built-in backup. If you have device backup switched on in your Android settings, the operating system may copy the app’s data — including your boards — to your own Google account. This is a system feature: the data goes to your account, not to the developer, and is governed by Google’s privacy policy. You can turn it off in your device’s system settings under Backup, or exclude this app there.
Third-party services
The app uses no third-party service that receives your data. It bundles open source libraries (AndroidX, Jetpack Compose, Room, WorkManager, Moshi, Coil) and open source fonts licensed under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 or the Apache License 2.0; the licence for each font family ships inside the app and is listed under Settings → Fonts. None of these libraries collect or transmit data in this app.
Children
Because the app collects no personal data at all, it is suitable for users of any age. No information about a child — or any user — is gathered, profiled or shared.
Deleting your data
•Delete a single board from the dashboard.
•Clear everything by clearing the app’s storage in Android Settings → Apps → Drowning Whiteboard → Storage, or by uninstalling the app.
Uninstalling removes all boards, backups and settings held on the device. If Android backup is enabled, a copy may remain in your Google account until it expires or you remove it there.
Changes to this policy
If the app ever starts collecting or transmitting data, this policy will be updated before that version is released, and the effective date above will change. The current version is always available inside the app under Settings → About → Privacy Policy.
