Privacy
Your colors. Your device.
Short version: Screen Color Picker runs 100% in your browser. We don't collect, store, or transmit the colors you pick. We never see them. They never leave your device.
What we don't collect
- The colors you pick — they're returned directly by the browser to JavaScript running on this page; the network never sees them.
- Your palette history — stored exclusively in your browser's
localStorage, which we have no way to read remotely. - Your IP address, beyond the standard webserver logs that every site keeps for 30 days for abuse prevention.
- Any account info — there are no accounts. We don't even have a sign-up form.
What we do measure (aggregate only)
To keep a free tool alive we use Google Analytics 4 for anonymous, aggregate usage (page views, approximate region, device type). It sets analytics cookies and never sees the colors you pick. We may also show Google AdSense ads, which use advertising cookies. Both are disclosed in full — including how to opt out — in our Privacy Policy.
Beyond that, the only other data anyone collects is whatever Cloudflare's CDN logs at the edge to serve the static page itself.
Third-party services we use
- Cloudflare Pages — hosts the static HTML/CSS/JS. Their privacy policy.
- Google Analytics 4 — anonymous aggregate usage measurement. Google's privacy policy.
- Google AdSense (if ads are shown) — contextual advertising. How Google uses advertising data.
- Google Fonts — serves the Geist font family. Google's privacy policy. We may self-host fonts in a future release to remove this dependency.
Your local data
Your palette history is saved in localStorage under the key screencolorpicker:palette:v1.
To wipe it, click "Clear all" in the palette section, or clear site data via browser settings.
Your theme preference (dark/light) is also in localStorage under screencolorpicker:theme.
