Your privacy matters to us. Learn how BoardFlow handles your data.
Overview
BoardFlow is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy describes how we handle data when you use our collaborative whiteboard service.
Data Collection & Storage
π₯οΈ Local Storage Only
All your drawing data is stored locally in your browser using IndexedDB. We do not store your drawings on our servers.
π Board State Synchronization
When you collaborate with others, board state (drawings, objects, cursor positions) is transmitted via secure WebSocket connections. This data is only shared with other users currently viewing the same board and is not permanently stored on our servers.
π€ No Personal Information Required
We do not require registration, email addresses, or any personal information to use BoardFlow.
Data Transmission
β What we transmit

User Control
You have full control over your data:
- β’ Clear your browser's IndexedDB to delete all locally stored boards
- β’ Close the board to stop sharing real-time data
- β’ Export your drawings as PNG/PDF before clearing data
