Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how WallDrafts ("we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our wallpaper download service. Since no registration is required, we collect minimal data necessary to provide and improve our service.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Automatic Server Logs

Like most websites, our servers automatically record basic information:

Data Type	Purpose	Retention	Anonymized
IP Address	Security, analytics, fraud prevention	30 days	Yes - Hashed
Browser Type	Compatibility optimization	90 days	Yes
Device Information	Responsive design optimization	90 days	Yes
Access Timestamp	Analytics and usage patterns	1 year	Yes

1.2 Download Analytics

When you download a wallpaper, we collect anonymous analytics:

• Wallpaper ID (to track popularity)
• Timestamp of download
• Device type (desktop/mobile)
• Hashed IP address (for security, not identification)
• User agent (browser/device info, truncated to 500 chars)

1.3 Browser Storage (Cookies and Local Storage)

We use browser storage to make the site work without accounts:

• Cookies: Django uses cookies like sessionid and csrftoken for security and to help features like likes/favorites work.
• Consent cookie: walldrafts_cookies stores your cookie choice.
• Local storage: Theme preference and UI-related lists (likes/favorites/download history) may be stored in localStorage on your device.
• You can clear cookies and local storage at any time in your browser settings.

2. How We Use Your Information

• Service Operation: To provide and maintain wallpaper downloads
• Analytics: To understand popular wallpapers and improve content
• Security: To detect and prevent abuse or fraudulent activity
• Technical Optimization: To ensure compatibility across devices
• Content Curation: To identify trending wallpapers

We never sell, rent, or trade your data. We also do not share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing. If you enable ads, advertising partners (for example Google) may process device information/cookies to deliver and measure ads as described in their policies.

3. Data Security

We implement appropriate security measures to protect the minimal data we collect:

• IP addresses are hashed (SHA-256) before storage
• Regular security updates and monitoring
• Secure HTTPS connections for all data transmission
• Limited data retention periods
• Regular security audits

4. Cookies and Tracking

• Essential cookies: Session and CSRF cookies required for site functionality and security.
• Consent cookie: Stores your cookie choice so we can respect it.
• Analytics (optional): If enabled, Google Analytics loads only after you accept cookies.
• Advertising (optional): If enabled, Google AdSense loads only after you accept cookies and may set cookies to deliver/measure ads.
• Easy control: You can clear cookies/local storage in your browser settings anytime.

5. Third-Party Services

We use minimal third-party services:

• Web Hosting: Standard web hosting services
• Analytics (optional): Google Analytics, only if enabled and you consent
• Advertising (optional): Google AdSense, only if enabled and you consent
• No social media plugins by default: We do not embed Facebook/Twitter widgets as part of the site UI.

6. Your Privacy Rights

Since we collect minimal data and don't have user accounts, your rights are straightforward:

7. Children's Privacy

Our service is safe for all ages. We don't collect age information, but we ensure our content is appropriate for general audiences.
