Your privacy is
our default

1. Who We Are

Image Color Palette operates the website located at imagecolorpalette.com (the "Site"). We provide a free, browser-based tool that allows users to extract color palettes from images. When we say "we," "us," or "our" in this Privacy Policy, we are referring to the operators of Image Color Palette.

If you have any questions about this policy or how we handle data, you can contact us at hello@imagecolorpalette.com and we will respond promptly.

2. What Data We Do Not Collect

To be completely transparent, here is a clear list of data we do not collect under any circumstances:

• Your images. All image processing happens locally inside your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your image files are never transmitted to, received by, or stored on our servers. Not even temporarily.
• Your name, email, or personal identity. We do not require you to register, sign up, or provide any personal information of any kind to use this tool.
• Your IP address. Our core service does not log or store IP addresses associated with usage.
• Your generated palettes. The color palettes you generate are displayed only in your browser and are never sent to or saved by us.
• Behavioral tracking data. We do not build profiles of your browsing behavior, track your movements across other websites, or sell data to third-party marketers.
• Sensitive personal data. We do not collect data relating to health, finances, biometrics, or any other sensitive category.

3. Information You Provide Voluntarily

The only time you provide us with personal data directly is if you choose to contact us — for example, by sending an email to hello@imagecolorpalette.com.

In that case, we will receive your email address and whatever information you choose to include in your message. We use this solely to respond to your query. We do not add you to mailing lists without your explicit consent, and we do not share your email with any third party.

We retain contact emails for as long as necessary to address your enquiry, typically no longer than 12 months, after which they are deleted.

4. Cookies and Local Storage

We do not use tracking cookies. We do not use advertising cookies on the core tool itself. Here is exactly what is stored in your browser and why:

• Theme preference (localStorage). When you switch between light and dark mode, we save your preference using the browser's localStorage API under the key icp-theme. This data never leaves your device and is not accessible to us. You can clear it at any time by clearing your browser's site data.

That is the complete list. No session cookies, no fingerprinting, no supercookies.

5. Analytics and Usage Data

We may use privacy-respecting analytics tools to understand aggregate, anonymous usage of the Site — such as how many pages are viewed, which tools are used most frequently, and which countries visitors come from. This data is:

• Aggregated and anonymised — it cannot be used to identify you as an individual.
• Not tied to persistent user identifiers or cross-site tracking.
• Used only to improve the Site and its features.
• Not shared with or sold to third parties for marketing purposes.

If you use an ad blocker or privacy browser extension that blocks analytics scripts, you will not be tracked even in this anonymous, aggregate way — and the tool will work perfectly fine regardless.

6. Advertising

Image Color Palette is a free tool supported by non-intrusive display advertising. Ad partners may serve advertisements on pages of this Site. These ad networks may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads that are relevant to your interests based on your browsing activity across other sites.

We do not control the cookies set by advertising partners, but we do require that any advertising shown on this Site complies with applicable privacy laws. Common advertising partners include Google AdSense, which has its own privacy policy available at policies.google.com/privacy.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by:

• Visiting Google Ad Settings to manage your Google ad preferences.
• Using the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out tool.
• Enabling "Do Not Track" in your browser settings (note: not all ad networks honor this).
• Installing a browser-based ad blocker.

7. Third-Party Services and External Links

We use a small number of third-party services to deliver the Site:

• Google Fonts. We load typefaces (Plus Jakarta Sans, Fraunces, Inter) from Google Fonts. When your browser fetches these fonts, Google's servers may receive your IP address and browser information. You can review Google's font privacy information at developers.google.com/fonts/faq/privacy.
• Unsplash (sample images). The "Try a sample" feature loads example images from Unsplash's CDN. Unsplash's servers may log your request. This only occurs if you click "Try a sample."

This Site may also contain links to external websites. Once you leave our Site, this Privacy Policy no longer applies and we are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

8. How We Protect Your Information

Because we do not collect or store your personal data or images on our servers, there is very little data for us to protect on our end. The primary privacy protection is architectural: by keeping all image processing in your browser, there is no data transmission that could be intercepted.

For any data we do handle — such as contact emails — we use standard industry precautions including encrypted email transmission (TLS), access controls, and prompt deletion when data is no longer needed.

9. Your Rights Under Privacy Law

Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding personal data. Under the GDPR (EU/EEA residents), CCPA (California residents), and similar laws, you may have the right to:

• Access any personal data we hold about you.
• Rectify any inaccurate personal data.
• Erase your personal data ("right to be forgotten").
• Object to certain types of processing.
• Data portability — receive your data in a portable format.
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

Since we hold virtually no personal data, most of these rights will not apply in practice. However, if you have contacted us by email and wish to request deletion of that correspondence, simply email us at hello@imagecolorpalette.com and we will promptly comply.

10. Children's Privacy

Image Color Palette is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or 16 in certain jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at hello@imagecolorpalette.com and we will delete any such data as quickly as possible.

11. International Transfers

Since we do not collect or transmit your image data, there are no international data transfers associated with the core functionality of the tool. If you contact us by email, your email may be processed on servers located outside your country of residence. By contacting us, you consent to this transfer for the purpose of responding to your inquiry.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

Your continued use of Image Color Palette after any changes to this policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree with the revised policy, please discontinue use of the Site.
