Privacy Policy

ColorOverflow is a set of free color tools and guides. You can use every tool without an account, and we don't ask for your name, email address or any other personal details to use the site.

This policy explains what information is involved when you visit, where it's kept, and the choices you have.

What stays in your browser

Some features remember things for you using your browser's local storage. This data stays on your device. It isn't sent to ColorOverflow and we can't see it.

  • Your wishlist: the palettes you save with the heart, with their names.
  • Your active palette in the Palette Generator, so it's still there when you come back.
  • Your preferred color format (HEX, RGB or HSL).

You can delete saved palettes on the Wishlist page, or clear everything by clearing this site's data in your browser settings. Private or incognito windows forget it when you close them.

Images you use in Palette from Image

When you upload, drop or paste an image, it's read and analyzed by your own browser. It's never uploaded to our servers or anyone else's, and it's gone when you leave or reload the page.

When you contact us

If you send a message with the contact form, we receive your name, email address, the topic and your message, along with the page you sent it from and your browser type. The form delivers it to us by email through Google's Gmail service.

We use these details only to read and reply to your message. We don't add you to a mailing list or share them with anyone else, and we keep them only as long as we need to deal with your message.

Cookies

ColorOverflow doesn't set cookies, and it doesn't load analytics or advertising services that do.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The tools keep working without them.

Sharing links and other sites

Share links for palettes carry the palette's colors and name in the web address, so anyone you send one to can see them. If you share to X or WhatsApp, that service's own privacy policy applies to what you post.

Links to other websites are governed by those sites' policies, not this one.

Server logs

Like most websites, our hosting provider may keep standard request logs, such as IP address, browser type and the page requested, for a short time to keep the site secure and running. We don't use them to profile visitors.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information, or to object to how it's used. Because we don't keep accounts or personal details, there's usually nothing for us to hand over or delete; data in your browser is under your control.

If you have a question or request about your privacy, use the contact form on our Contact page (https://coloroverflow.com/contact).

Children

ColorOverflow is a general audience site and isn't directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

If we change how the site handles information, for example by adding a new service, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
