Introduction

TORTUGA APPS (SMC-PRIVATE) LIMITED ("we", "us", or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy outlines how the Easy Draw Anime app ("the App") manages user data and utilizes device permissions.

The App is an Augmented Reality (AR) creative tool designed to help users learn to draw sketches by overlaying templates onto the real world (tracing). Its core functionality requires the CAMERA permission for AR tracing and INTERNET access to load templates and reference images from our servers.

The App uses your device's camera for the Augmented Reality tracing feature. This involves real-time processing of video frames to overlay digital images onto a physical surface. The camera feed is ephemeral and never recorded.

🖼️

User Images / Photos

You may select existing images from your device for custom tracing. The content of these images is processed locally and never transmitted.
