Privacy Policy — Colorwick (Pequeno Ateliê)
Version 1.0 — effective from 14 November 2026. This policy covers the Windows game Colorwick, called Pequeno Ateliê in Portuguese, in every store where it is sold.
In short: the game works offline and does not collect, send or share any personal data. It has no ads, no purchases, no accounts and no chat, and it does not use the camera, the microphone or location. Everything it saves stays on your computer only, and you can delete it at any time.
1. Who is responsible
The game is made and published by Valter Joziel — Valtora Games. Contact for any privacy question: suporte@valtorastudio.com.
2. What the game keeps on your computer (and never sends)
| What | Where (Windows) | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Paintings (PNG files) | %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\PequenoAtelie\Pequeno Atelie\Paintings | To show and continue paintings and to fill "My wall". |
| Backup copies of paintings | ResetBackups and UnreadableBackups subfolders inside the folder above | To restore paintings cleared with the giant eraser, and to keep (never delete) a file that could not be read. |
| Game preferences | Windows registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PequenoAtelie\Pequeno Atelie | Language, volumes and music, the artist's look, display and graphics quality, environment, the play timer set by parents, and whether the first tips were already shown. |
| Technical log | %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\PequenoAtelie\Pequeno Atelie\Player.log | To help find errors. It may contain folder paths that include the Windows user name. It stays on the computer and is rewritten every time the game starts. |
The game never asks for the child's name, age, photo, e-mail address or any other personal data. None of these files leaves the computer; only the technical log may contain the Windows user name, as explained above.
3. Saved pictures and printing
- Save as picture (grown-ups only: hold the button for 2 seconds) creates a PNG file in the
Pictures\Colorwickfolder (orPictures\Pequeno Ateliêwhen the game is in Portuguese). - Print (grown-ups only: hold the button for 2 seconds) opens the Windows print window. Printing is handled by Windows and your printer; if the printer is on your home network, Windows talks to it, not the game.
The game does not send these pictures anywhere else.
4. Internet, stores and other companies
- The game does not connect to the internet, does not use analytics, advertising, trackers or third-party services, and does not open web pages.
- The store where you bought the game (for example Steam, the Epic Games Store, GOG, the Microsoft Store or itch.io) handles your account and purchase data under its own privacy policy. We do not receive that data.
- In the Steam version, the game only reads, on your own computer, the language selected in Steam, so it opens in the right language. Nothing is sent to us.
- The store's app (for example the Steam client, the Epic Games Launcher or GOG Galaxy), if you use one, may record on its own that the game was opened and for how long, as it does for any game. This is done by the store, under its own policy, not by the game.
5. Children
The game is made for children aged 3 to 8. It collects no personal information, so we hold no data about children and there is nothing to authorize in order to use it. Children's data-protection laws such as COPPA (United States), the GDPR (European Union) and the LGPD (Brazil) require parental consent when children's data is collected; if a future version ever needs any data, we will ask for that consent first (see section 9).
Tools for parents: the Grown-ups tab in Settings only opens if you hold the button for 2 seconds; it holds the optional play timer (15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes, ending with a calm rest screen) and the option to restore cleared paintings. Printing and saving as a picture also need a grown-up. You can also use the parental controls of your store or system (for example Steam Families or Microsoft Family Safety).
6. How to delete everything
- Some paintings only: use the eraser or the Clear button in the game, or delete the PNG files from the paintings folder.
- Everything: uninstall the game and delete the folder
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\PequenoAtelie. The registry preferences (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PequenoAtelie) can be deleted with the Registry Editor; you may also leave them, as they contain no personal data. - Saved pictures: delete the
Pictures\ColorwickorPictures\Pequeno Ateliêfolder. - Microsoft Store version: Windows may keep the game's files and preferences in a private app area and delete it when the game is uninstalled. Before uninstalling, save as pictures the paintings you want to keep.
7. If you write to us
If you send an e-mail to the contact in section 1, we receive your e-mail address and whatever you write. We use it only to reply and sort out your request; we send no advertising and share it with no one, except the e-mail service we use to receive the message. We delete the conversation once the matter is closed, within 12 months. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in answering people who contact us (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f); LGPD Art. 7, IX). Please have an adult send the e-mail and do not include the child's details.
8. Your rights
The game sends us no data, so for the use of the game there is nothing for us to access, correct or delete. If you wrote to us, you can ask at any time for a copy, correction or deletion of your message through the contact in section 1. You can also complain to the data-protection authority of your country, for example the CNIL (France), the ANPD (Brazil) or your national authority in the European Union.
9. Changes to this policy
If a future version of the game ever adds any online feature, this policy will be updated before that version is released, and the store page will say so. The date at the top shows the version in force.
