Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 2026
Introduction
This is the Privacy Policy for OpenColor. OpenColor has no accounts and no sign-up, so there is very little to explain here: we do not ask for, receive, or hold any information that identifies you personally. This document sets out exactly what happens to your data, which is very little, and what third parties are involved.
What We Do Not Collect
We never ask for your name, email address, phone number, payment details, or any other personal detail. Your key colors, token sets, naming rules, and settings are stored in the local storage of your own browser. They stay on your device and are never uploaded to us, so we cannot see them, recover them, or share them. The one exception is the optional URL import: if you enter a website address, that address is sent to our server, which visits the page once to extract its colors. The address and the result are not stored.
What We Do Collect
OpenColor runs no analytics of its own and keeps no database of visitors. Like any website, our hosting provider automatically records standard access logs, such as IP address, browser type, and the page requested, to operate and secure the service. Apart from that, the only data processing on this site is done by the advertising provider described below, under its own policy.
Cookies
We set no cookies of our own on the public side of this website. Your settings are kept in browser local storage rather than in cookies, and our only own cookie is on the internal administration page, to keep an administrator signed in. However, the advertising described in the next section is served by Google, which does set its own cookies in your browser. You can disable cookies in your browser settings; the tools on this site will keep working, and you will simply see less relevant advertising.
Advertising
This site is free to use and is supported in part by advertising served through Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google uses advertising cookies to enable it and its partners to serve ads based on those visits. You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time through Google Ads Settings at adssettings.google.com, or block advertising cookies in your browser. If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you will be asked for your consent before any advertising or measurement cookies are set, and you can change or withdraw that choice at any time.
Third-party Services
This site is hosted by Vercel, which processes the access logs described above, and advertising is served by Google. Both operate under their own privacy policies. We use no other third-party service that processes visitor data. If you follow links from this website to other sites, including advertisements, you are advised to read the privacy policies published there.
Data Security
Because we hold no information about you at all, there is nothing to lose in the event of a breach on our side. However, no internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of information transmitted to or from this site.
Changes to This Policy
We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. We will notify users of significant changes by posting a notice on the website. Your continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
