Doodle Twist ("we," "us") is a daily drawing challenge. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. Questions? Email us at mail@doodletwist.com.

What we collect

• When you subscribe: your email address, name, Instagram handle, phone number and carrier (if you choose text delivery), and how you'd like to receive prompts.
• When you submit a drawing: the image you upload, an optional caption, and the email you verified with.

We don't collect payment information (Doodle Twist is currently free), and we don't use tracking cookies or analytics services on this site.

How we use it

• Sending your daily prompt. If you chose text delivery, your phone number is used to send prompts via Twilio, our SMS provider. If you chose email delivery, we email you the prompt directly. Either way, the daily prompt is also always viewable on our Instagram story and on the Doodle Twist homepage — we never send prompts through Instagram.
• Reviewing submissions. Every submitted drawing is automatically evaluated once using Anthropic's Claude AI, which checks it against content guidelines and scores it for the day's challenge. Your image is sent to Anthropic's API for this single evaluation.
• Publishing approved drawings. Approved submissions are posted publicly on this website along with your username/Instagram handle and caption. Winners may also be posted to our Instagram account — and we'll only tag your handle if you gave us permission when you subscribed.
• Identifying your submissions. Your email is used to match submissions to your subscriber profile. Your email itself is never displayed publicly.

Where your data lives

• Subscriber info and submission records are stored in Google Sheets and Google Drive (Google Workspace).
• Approved drawing images and their public details (username, caption, date, prompt) are stored in a public GitHub repository that hosts this website.
• Text messages are delivered through Twilio, which processes your phone number per Twilio's privacy policy.
• Submission images are evaluated via the Anthropic API per Anthropic's privacy policy.

What we don't do

• We don't sell your personal information.
• We don't share your contact details with anyone except the service providers listed above, and only as needed to run Doodle Twist.
• We don't send marketing beyond the daily prompt loop you signed up for.

Text messaging terms

If you opt into text delivery, you'll receive one message per day with the drawing prompt, plus an occasional note if you win. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP at any time to stop receiving texts, or HELP for help. Consent to receive texts is not a condition of participating — you can choose email delivery instead, or skip messages entirely and check the daily prompt on our Instagram story or the Doodle Twist homepage.

Your choices

• Unsubscribe: reply STOP to any text, or email us and we'll remove you.
• Take down a drawing: email us and we'll remove your submission from the site.
• See or delete your data: email us at mail@doodletwist.com and we'll share what we have on file or delete it.

Children

Doodle Twist isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child under 13 has subscribed, email us and we'll remove them.

Changes to this policy

If we make meaningful changes (like adding paid plans or new services), we'll update this page and the date at the top.
