Kit Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 9, 2026
Kit apps are made for young children, and they collect no personal information about them. There are no ads, no accounts, no tracking and no third-party analytics. This policy explains, in plain words, what stays on your device, what goes to your own iCloud, and what we receive only when you choose to write to us.
The short version
- No data collection from children. Kit apps don't ask for names, ages, photos or any other personal details.
- No ads, no tracking, no third-party SDKs. We don't sell or share data, and we don't track you across apps or websites.
- Your drawings stay yours. They're saved on your device and, if iCloud is on, in your own private iCloud account. We can't see them.
- Purchases go through Apple. We never receive your name, email address or payment details.
- We only hear from you if you write to us. Then we receive your email and the details you choose to send.
1. Who we are
Kit apps are made by Oleksii Chernikov, an independent developer based in Ukraine (“we”, “us”). We are responsible for the information described in this policy.

This policy applies to the following apps for iPhone and iPad (“Kit apps”):
- Kit Coloring
- Kit Puzzles
New Kit apps will be added to this list. If a future app works differently from what is described here, we will update this policy before that app is released.
2. What we don't collect
Kit apps do not collect, store on our servers, or share any personal information. In particular, Kit apps:
- have no accounts, sign-in or child profiles, and never ask for a name, age, email address or photo;
- show no advertising and contain no third-party advertising, analytics or tracking code;
- do not use the Advertising Identifier (IDFA) and do not track you across other companies' apps or websites;
- do not access your location, contacts, calendar, camera or microphone;
- do not read your photo library;
- do not sell or rent any information, and do not “share” it for advertising as defined by laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act.
We do not run servers that receive data from Kit apps.
3. What stays on your device and in your iCloud
To work, Kit apps keep some information locally. None of it is sent to us.
- Drawings and progress. Your child's pictures, colors and progress are saved on the device.
- Settings. Choices such as brush size and sound preferences are saved on the device.
- App activity log. The app keeps a simple local record of in-app events (for example, that undo was used) to work correctly. It never leaves the device.
- Diagnostic reports. Apple's system (MetricKit) may give the app performance and crash reports. The app keeps up to the 30 most recent reports on the device. They are sent to us only if you choose to include them in a message (see section 6).
- Home Screen widget. If you add a Kit widget, the app saves a picture snapshot in a shared area on the device so the widget can show it.
iCloud sync. If you are signed in to iCloud, Kit apps sync drawing progress between your iPhone and iPad using Apple's CloudKit. The data is stored in your own private iCloud database, under your Apple Account. We cannot see or access it. Apple handles this storage under the Apple Privacy Policy. The app may receive silent system notifications so devices know when something has changed; you won't see any notifications.
To turn iCloud sync off, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud on your device. “Start fresh” in the app deletes a picture's saved progress on all your devices. Deleting the app removes its data from the device; data in iCloud can be removed in your iCloud storage settings.
4. Saving pictures to Photos
Parents can share a finished picture from the share screen, which is behind a parental gate. If you choose “Save Image” there, iOS asks once for permission to add images to your photo library. Kit apps can only add pictures; they cannot see, read or upload anything in your photo library. You can change this permission at any time in Settings > Privacy & Security > Photos.
5. Purchases and subscriptions
Some content can be unlocked with a subscription or a one-time purchase. All purchases are made through Apple's App Store and handled by Apple. We do not receive your name, email address, Apple Account details or payment information. The app only learns from Apple whether content is unlocked on your device.
Purchase screens are behind a parental gate. You can manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account settings or from the app's parent area. Apple's handling of your data is described in the Apple Privacy Policy.
6. When you contact us
The only time we receive personal information is when you email us. There are two ways to do this from the parent area:
- Contact Support opens your email app with our address and a subject line filled in. Nothing about your device is added.
- Report a Problem opens an email that also includes technical details to help us fix the problem: the app version and build, the operating system and its version, the device model and the device language and region setting. By default, it also attaches up to 10 recent diagnostic reports from Apple (MetricKit) as files. These cover app performance and crashes and contain no drawings, names or user identifiers. You can turn off “Attach App Reports” before sending.
You always see the full email before it is sent, and you can edit it, remove attachments or delete any details. Nothing is sent unless you tap Send.
What we receive: your email address, your message, and any details or attachments you chose to send.
How we use it: only to reply to you, help with your request and fix problems in our apps. We don't use it for marketing and we don't share it, except with our email service provider, which stores our mailbox for us.
How long we keep it: until your request is resolved, then for up to 12 months, after which we delete it. You can ask us to delete it sooner at any time.
7. Children's privacy
Kit apps are designed for young children, and we do not collect personal information from children. This is how we keep it that way:
- Children can play without entering any information.
- There is no chat, no social features, and no way for a child to make anything public.
- Everything meant for adults — purchases, settings, sharing pictures, links and emails to us — is behind a parental gate that a young child cannot easily pass.
- We never use information for advertising, profiling or marketing to children.
We comply with the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and apply the same approach in all countries. Messages to us are meant to come from parents or guardians. If we learn that a child has sent us personal information, we will delete it. If you think this has happened, please contact us.
8. Links outside the app
Kit apps contain only a few links, all in the parent area behind a parental gate: this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use on kit.kids, an email link to us, and Apple's subscription and billing pages. Pages run by others, such as Apple, follow their own privacy policies.
9. Your rights
Because Kit apps don't collect personal information, we usually hold nothing about you. If you have emailed us, you can ask us to:
- tell you what information we hold about you and give you a copy;
- correct it;
- delete it;
- stop or restrict using it, or object to how we use it.
We use the information in your email because it is needed to answer your request and fix problems, which is our legitimate interest (and, where you asked for help, to provide the service you requested).
To make a request, email hello@kit.kids. We will reply within 30 days and won't charge a fee. We may ask you to confirm the request comes from the email address we have. Parents and guardians can make these requests for their child.
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, you may also complain to your local data protection authority. California residents have the rights described above under the CCPA; we do not sell or share personal information, and we won't treat you differently for using your rights.
Where information is handled. We are based in Ukraine. Emails you send us are stored by our email service provider and may be processed outside your country. We only keep them for the purposes and periods described in section 6.
Security. Information in Kit apps stays on your device and in your iCloud account, protected by Apple's security. We keep support emails in a mailbox that only we can access.
10. Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will post the new version on this page and update the date at the top. If a change affects what information is collected, we will update the policy before the change reaches the apps.
