Is this therapy or crisis support? +
No. DrawnForward is a creative, supportive space—not therapy. If you’re in crisis, contact your local emergency number or a crisis hotline in your region.
What is Priority Kindness? +
An optional setting that routes your kindness to regions with lower reported well‑being using reputable, public data sources (e.g., global happiness reports).
How are matches made between people? +
When you choose to receive, you’ll see a short message from someone who reached out (anonymously). You can then respond with a drawing. We avoid endless feeds and focus on 1:1 care.
How do you handle harmful or inappropriate content? +
We use layered safeguards: automated filters, community reporting, and human review when needed. Content that violates our guidelines may be removed and accounts may be restricted.
What data do you store? +
Minimal personal info (e.g., email/name at signup) for moderation and account recovery. Drawings and messages are stored without public identifiers. See our Privacy page for details.
Can I delete my data or account? +
Yes. Email us at info@drawnforward.org from your registered address to request account deletion and data export or removal.
