Privacy Policy.
Last updated: August 23, 2026
At Colour Name Finder, we believe privacy is a fundamental human right. Our application is designed from the ground up to operate as a local-first utility.
1. Client-Side Image Analysis.
When you use the "Analyze Image" tab to upload or drop an image, the image is loaded strictly within your local browser sandbox using HTML5 Canvas API. The pixels are scanned and color palettes are computed 100% locally on your machine.
Your images are never sent, uploaded, or transmitted to our servers or any third-party APIs.
2. Camera Scanner Stream.
The Camera Scanner function requests access to your device's camera using the standard web getUserMedia API. The frames from the stream are projected onto a local hidden canvas to sample the center pixel's hex value.
We do not record, save, or transmit your video stream. As soon as you click "Stop Camera" or navigate away, the camera stream tracks are completely closed and terminated.
3. Local Storage and Inspection History.
Your recent inspection history is stored in your web browser's localStorage. This data never leaves your device and can be cleared at any time using the "Clear All" button in the history card.
4. Zero Tracking and Cookies.
Colour Name Finder does not use cookies, does not collect personal identifiers, and does not sell any user information to third parties.
