Your colors and pictures stay on your device
What happens to your data
- Your device does all the work. The page sends no color, no palette and no picture to a server.
- When you choose a picture, the browser reads it and draws it on a canvas. The page does not upload it.
- The palette is in the address of the page, after the # sign. The browser does not send that part to the server.
- The page has no account. When you press Save palette, it keeps the palette in this browser, in local storage. You can delete it at any time.
- The page has no ads and no cookies.
- When you copy a color or export a palette, the page sends one anonymous count to our server. The count has the tool, the job (for example "color_copied") and the page type. It also has a random id for this page load, and mobile or desktop. It has no cookie, no IP address and no color.
- If the page has an error, it sends an error report to the server. The report has no color and no picture.
Who hosts this page
Cloudflare hosts this page. Like any web host, it sees your IP address and the page you ask for. It keeps technical request logs for a short time.
Cloudflare counts requests to the site. It also measures visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics. It sets no cookies. The count has none of your details.
Your rights, your contact and the law
Who is responsible
I am Kevin Amado, and I am responsible for the data in Color picker. I am one person in Alberta, Canada. Write to kamadorueda@gmail.com with any question or request about your data.
Why data is used, and for how long
- Counts, error reports and logs: to run the tool and fix errors. The legal basis is my legitimate interest. Counts stay 90 days. Logs and error reports stay 7 days. Nothing is counted when your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control.
- Cloudflare also records about one request in ten in more detail. That record has your browser, operating system, language, network and approximate location (country, region and city). It is deleted after 7 days.
- Data in your browser: I do not receive it. It stays until you clear it.
Who receives your data, and where it goes
Cloudflare hosts this tool and handles the data for me. It works in the United States and in other countries. For transfers from the EU and the UK, it relies on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses. Cloudflare Web Analytics counts visits to this page with a small script. Cloudflare says that it uses no cookies and does not identify you. I do not sell your data. This page names any other service.
Your rights
- You can ask for a copy of your data.
- You can ask me to correct it, delete it or stop using it.
- You can ask me to move it to another service.
- You can object to how I use your data.
- You can take back a consent at any time.
- Write to the address above. I answer within 30 days.
- If the request is about an account, write from the email address of that account. This shows me it is you.
- You can also clear the data of this site in your browser. That removes what the page keeps there.
Complaints
If you are not happy, you can complain to a data protection authority. In the EU, this is the authority of your country. In the United Kingdom, it is the ICO. In Canada, it is the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. For Alberta, it is the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Alberta. In Saudi Arabia, it is SDAIA. I would like to answer you first.
Children
This tool is not for children under 13, or under 16 in the EU without a parent's permission. If a child gave me data, write to me. I will delete it.
