Privacy Policy

Overview

Chromata ("the Service") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains our data practices for the Chromata website, web-based tools (Design Extractor and Palette Generator), and Chrome extension. We prioritize user privacy and only collect minimal data necessary to provide our services.

Information We Collect

For our web-based tools and user accounts, we collect:

• Account Information: Email address and password (encrypted) when you create an account
• Saved Palettes: Color palettes and designs you choose to save to your account
• Feedback: Any feedback or support requests you submit
• Usage Data: Basic analytics through Google Analytics (page views, session duration)

For the Chrome Extension specifically, we do not collect any data - all processing happens locally in your browser.

How We Process Data

Our Service processes data in different ways depending on the tool:

• Chrome Extension: All processing happens locally in your browser - no data is sent to our servers
• Design Extractor: URLs you submit are processed on our servers to extract design information, but are not stored
• Palette Generator: Color generation happens in your browser; saved palettes are stored in your account
• User Accounts: Account data is securely stored in our Supabase database with encryption

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures:

• Password encryption using bcrypt
• Secure HTTPS connections for all data transmission
• Secure database storage with Supabase
• Regular security audits and updates
• No storage of credit card information (we don't process payments)

Third-Party Services

We integrate with the following third-party services:

• TheColorAPI: For fetching color names (only hex values are sent)
• Supabase: For secure database storage and authentication
• Google Analytics: For basic website analytics (can be blocked with ad blockers)
• Email Service: For account verification and password reset emails

Each service has its own privacy policy. We only share the minimum necessary data with these services.

Data Retention

We retain different types of data for different periods:

• Account Data: Retained as long as your account is active
• Saved Palettes: Retained until you delete them or close your account
• Feedback: Retained for service improvement purposes
• Temporary Processing: URLs processed by Design Extractor are not stored
• Chrome Extension: All data stays local in your browser

Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of the Extension after any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.

Cookies

We use essential cookies for:

• User authentication and session management
• Remembering your preferences
• Security and fraud prevention

We also use Google Analytics cookies for analytics. You can block these with browser extensions or ad blockers.
