Trace to Draw (com.pando.tracetodraw) — Last updated: 26 August 2026

1. Overview

Trace to Draw (“the app”) is a free Android tracing tool published by Stronghealth. There is no account, no sign-up and no server of ours. Apart from loading ads, the app sends nothing off your device.

2. Everything runs on your phone

You choose a picture from your device and the app lays it over the screen, or over the camera view of your paper, so you can trace it. The picture is read on the device and is never uploaded anywhere. The app has no server of its own.

The only things kept between sessions are a reference to the last picture you opened, your display settings (opacity, contrast, grid, mirror, mode) and the counters that limit how often an ad may appear. They live in the app’s local storage on this device. Deleting the app removes them.

3. Information we collect

The app does not collect, store or transmit personal information. We do not operate a server or database holding user data, and we do not know who you are, which pictures you trace, or that you traced anything at all.

4. Permissions

The app asks for two things, and only when you use the feature that needs them.

• Photos — so you can pick the picture you want to trace. The app reads the one picture you choose. It does not browse your library in the background and it does not upload anything.
• Camera — used only in Camera mode, to show your paper underneath the picture. Nothing is recorded, saved or uploaded. The preview exists only while that screen is open. Lightbox mode does not use the camera at all, and you can use the whole app without ever granting this.

Other manifest entries are normal permissions granted without a prompt: internet and network state for ads, the advertising ID, and wake lock (the screen is kept awake while you trace, and the ad SDK asks for it when a video plays). The app does not ask for location, the microphone, contacts or notifications.

5. Third-party services and ads

The app uses one third-party service.

• Google AdMob — used to show ads. There are three placements: a banner on the home and information screens; one full-screen ad when the app is opened, at most once a day and never on your first run; and a full-screen ad after you finish a tracing session — at most twice a day and never twice inside three minutes. No ad is ever shown while a picture is on screen for tracing, because an ad appearing mid-stroke would ruin the drawing. AdMob may use your advertising ID to select ads; you can reset or delete it in Android settings under Privacy > Ads.

No analytics, crash reporting or push services are used.

6. Children’s privacy

The app is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
