2. How We Use Your Information
- To generate and produce your custom coloring book or digital portraits.
- To process payments and fulfill orders.
- To communicate with you about your order status.
- If you request a free coloring page, to deliver it to you by email. Submitting your email for a free page also means you agree to receive occasional emails from DoodleMi, such as offers and updates. You can stop marketing emails anytime through the unsubscribe link in any of them or by writing to [email protected]; requested downloads and order updates will continue.
- To record your email preferences, the notice you agreed to and when, and whether an email provider accepted our message. We keep unsubscribe records to respect your preference. We measure campaign visits and purchases to understand whether our emails are useful.
- To improve our products and services.
3. Photo Storage and Processing
Photos you upload are used solely to generate your coloring book pages or portraits. They are processed by our AI image generation service and stored only to fulfill your order. We do not sell, share, or use your photos for any purpose other than creating your artwork.
We retain original photos for paid orders to support fulfillment and customer support. We keep the artwork and files we create so your preview and download links keep working. You can ask us to delete your photos and files at any time by emailing [email protected].
4. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services to operate DoodleMi:
- Stripe for secure payment processing.
- Resend for delivering requested emails and our occasional marketing emails.
- Lulu for book printing and shipping.
- Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Cloudflare R2 for image storage and hosting.
- Image generation services for converting photos to coloring pages.
- Pinterest and Instagram (Meta) APIs for publishing our own marketing content (see Section 5).
- Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and Pinterest advertising tools (the Meta Pixel and Pinterest tag) to measure and deliver our ads (see Section 6).
Each of these services has its own privacy policy governing how they handle your data.
5. Pinterest API and Social Media Publishing
DoodleMi uses the Pinterest API (and the Instagram/Meta API) to publish our own marketing content (pins and posts linking back to doodlemi.com) to our own DoodleMi business accounts. We access only our own account through these APIs to create and manage our own content; we do not collect, request, or process any Pinterest or Instagram account data about you, our visitors.
- Not affiliated with Pinterest. DoodleMi is not endorsed by, sponsored by, or affiliated with Pinterest, Inc. “Pinterest” is a trademark of Pinterest, Inc.
- Data on disconnect. Any Pinterest access tokens and Pinterest-derived data we hold are stored only to operate our own posting. If we disconnect our application from Pinterest, or our access is revoked or expires, we delete the associated Pinterest access tokens and any Pinterest-derived data we have stored.
- No resale or redistribution. We do not sell, rent, redistribute, or otherwise share Pinterest content or any Pinterest-derived data with third parties.
6. Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising
We use essential cookies and session storage to keep your book creation progress during your visit. We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate, non-identifying usage of the site (such as which pages and marketing links visitors arrive from). When enabled, we also use Microsoft Clarity to see how visitors use our pages in aggregate (where they scroll and click) and to replay anonymised sessions; photos you upload and text you type are masked in those recordings.
We also use advertising and measurement tools from the platforms we advertise on, currently the Meta Pixel (Facebook and Instagram) and, when active, the Pinterest tag. These set cookies and collect standard usage information, such as the pages you view, your device and browser, your general location from your IP address, and actions you take like starting checkout or completing a purchase (including the order value). This information is shared with Meta (and Pinterest) so we can measure how well our ads perform and show relevant ads to people who have visited DoodleMi (remarketing).
We do not enable “advanced matching,” so we do not send your name, email, or phone number to these advertising platforms, and we do not sell your personal information. You can limit this tracking through your browser settings, your device's ad settings, and your ad preferences on Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest.
7. Data Retention
We retain your order information for as long as necessary to fulfill your order and comply with legal obligations. Original photos for completed or failed free-page requests become eligible for deletion after 30 days. Unpurchased book drafts and unpaid portrait uploads become eligible after 30 days without activity. Where checkout has started, we verify that payment is not pending or completed before deleting its photos. We retain paid-order originals and finished artwork for fulfillment, downloads, and support.
Cleanup runs in scheduled batches. Deleted files may remain in private recovery backups for approximately seven more days. Database backups containing account and order records normally expire after 30 days, with additional time for scheduled storage cleanup. Backup or cleanup failures can delay expiry. We keep limited records needed to honor unsubscribe preferences and handle customer support.

DoodleMi is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected such information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
