Privacy Policy

Updated October 31, 2026

This shared policy applies to Bear’s offline apps developed by James Campbell JR and to this website. Bear’s apps share the no-advertising, no-third-party-analytics and no-device-fingerprinting practices described here. Holiday Pixels by Bear has a separate privacy page for its subscription and content service. Each app has its own data and purchases.

Bear’s Color by Numbers has no advertising, third-party analytics or device fingerprinting. Holiday Pixels also has no advertising, third-party analytics or device fingerprinting; its subscription and content service has separate information handling described on its own privacy page. The offline apps’ no-developer-collection statement does not describe that separate service.

For Bear’s apps that work entirely on your device without an account or content service, gameplay progress and preferences stay on the device and are not sent to the developer. Store services, optional device services and information you voluntarily send to support are separate, as explained below. Any Bear app with an account or content service requires its own accurate service disclosures; see the separate Holiday Pixels privacy page.

Bear’s Color by Numbers: the existing offline apps

Bear’s Color by Numbers is designed for coloring without an app account, advertising or tracking. These app versions do not collect or send personal information to the developer. Store services, optional device speech services and information voluntarily sent to support are explained below. This statement does not describe Holiday Pixels’ separate service.

Platforms and separate app data

This policy covers the iPhone and iPad app distributed through Apple’s App Store and the native Android app for Amazon Fire tablets distributed through Amazon Appstore. The Google Play version for Android phones and tablets also uses the same support email. All versions keep separate app data. There is no developer-operated account, shared backend, or cloud service connecting the apps. Coloring progress, favorites, preferences, and purchases do not sync or transfer between Apple, Amazon and Google Play versions.

Information stored on your device

Coloring progress, favorites, preferences, selected colors, and saved canvas positions are stored locally on your device. The app keeps a local recovery backup of progress. This information is not sent to a developer-operated server. Purchase status is also stored locally so previously verified library access can remain available offline.

Your choices and deletion

You can erase coloring progress in the app’s Settings. On iPhone and iPad, deleting the app removes its local data, subject to any device backups you maintain with Apple. Device backup retention and restoration are controlled through Apple’s services and your settings. On Amazon Fire, app backup and device transfer are disabled; uninstalling removes local coloring, favorites, and preferences. Restoring a store purchase restores library access, not coloring progress.

Optional purchases

Five Easy pictures are free. An optional one-time Full Color Library purchase unlocks the remaining pictures; there is no subscription. Apple processes purchases and restoration for iPhone and iPad through the App Store. Amazon processes purchases and restoration for Fire tablets through Amazon Appstore. The apps use store-provided purchase information to determine whether the library is unlocked. The developer does not receive your payment card details.

The Fire app uses Amazon’s Appstore SDK to request store account identification, product information, and purchase receipts. Store account identifiers and entitlement records used by the app stay in its local storage and are not sent to a developer-operated server. Amazon processes purchase requests under its own policies. An Apple purchase does not unlock the Amazon version, and an Amazon purchase does not unlock the Apple version.

Children’s privacy and device permissions

The app does not ask for a child’s name, age, email address, or other personal information. It includes no advertising, third-party analytics, tracking, chat, or user accounts. Coloring does not require access to your camera, microphone, location, contacts, or photo library.

A grown-up gate protects purchase and destructive actions. When device authentication is used, the app receives the authentication result; it does not receive your passcode or Face ID or Touch ID biometric data.

Apple services and TestFlight

App Store purchases, device backups, and TestFlight are Apple services governed by Apple’s policies and your settings. If you test a beta through TestFlight, Apple may make testing information, crash reports, and feedback available to the developer. This is separate from the app’s own data practices.

Learn more in Apple’s Privacy Policy and Apple’s TestFlight privacy information.

Amazon services and Live App Testing

Amazon Appstore purchases, account services, and Live App Testing are Amazon services governed by Amazon’s policies and your settings. Purchasing and restoring on Fire require a connection to Amazon; the app does not use a developer-operated purchase or receipt-validation server. Amazon’s store or testing services may process their own service and diagnostic information separately from the app. The app includes no developer analytics, advertising SDK, or tracking service.

Learn more in Amazon’s Privacy Notice.

Google Play for Android phones and tablets

The Google Play version keeps coloring, favorites, preferences and verified purchase receipts in local app storage, with device backup disabled. It uses Google Play Billing to obtain product details, complete purchases, restore library access and acknowledge purchases. Purchase receipts are checked on the device using this app’s public verification key; there is no developer-operated receipt server. Google handles store account and payment processing under its policies. The developer does not receive payment card information. Neither app progress nor purchases transfer between Google Play, Apple and Amazon.

The app includes no developer analytics, advertising or tracking service. Optional spoken guidance uses your device’s text-to-speech provider and selected voice; that provider may use network services under its own settings and policies. Google Play testing and diagnostics are separate store services; information you choose to send to support is received only to handle your request. See Google’s Privacy Policy.

Holiday Pixels by Bear

Holiday Pixels is a separate app with a monthly Apple subscription, an introductory trial for eligible Apple Accounts and protected picture downloads. It does not create player accounts. Coloring stays on the device. Its subscription, connection and support information handling is described on the Holiday Pixels by Bear privacy page; the offline apps’ no-developer-collection statement does not describe that separate service.

This webpage and support

This legal page uses no analytics scripts, advertising, cookies or browser storage. Visiting a webpage sends ordinary request information, such as your IP address and browser information, to hosting infrastructure, which may record access logs. This is separate from using an offline coloring app.
