Who we are

Hey there! We’re thingstodrawing.com, your go-to spot for creative drawing ideas. Our website lives at https://thingstodrawing.com, and we’re all about helping you get inspired.

Comments

When you drop a comment on our site, we collect the info you share in the comment form, along with your IP address and browser details. This helps us keep the site safe from spam and other nonsense.

If you’re using Gravatar, we might send them a hashed version of your email to see if you’ve got a profile there. You can check out Gravatar’s privacy policy here. Once your comment is approved, your profile pic will be visible next to your comment for everyone to see.

Media

If you’re sharing images with us, that’s awesome! Just remember, if your photos have location data (like EXIF GPS) embedded, other folks might be able to download and see that info. So, it’s a good idea to strip out those details before uploading.

Cookies

To make life easier for you, we use cookies. If you leave a comment, you can choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies, so you don’t have to re-enter them next time. These cookies will hang around for a year.

When you visit our login page, we’ll set a temporary cookie to check if your browser likes cookies. This cookie doesn’t store any personal data and will disappear when you close your browser.

After you log in, we’ll set up a few more cookies to save your login details and screen preferences. The login cookies last for two days, and the screen options cookies stick around for a year. If you click “Remember Me,” you’ll stay logged in for two weeks. Logging out will clear those login cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, another cookie will be saved in your browser. It just notes the post ID of the article you edited and expires after a day.

Embedded Content From Other Websites

Some of our articles might include content from other websites (like videos, images, or articles). Interacting with this embedded content is just like visiting those other sites directly. They might collect data about you, use cookies, or track your interaction if you’re logged into their site.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, that comment and its details stick around indefinitely. This means we can automatically approve follow-up comments instead of holding them for moderation.

For users who sign up on our site, we store the personal info you provide in your profile. You can view, edit, or delete your info anytime (though you can’t change your username). Our site admins can also see and edit your details.

What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you’ve got an account with us or have left comments, you can request an export of the personal data we have on you. You can also ask us to erase any personal data we hold. This doesn’t include data we’re required to keep for legal or security reasons.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments might be checked through an automated spam detection service to keep our community safe and enjoyable.
