ColorMate Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 4, 2026

At ColorMate, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting it.

1. Information We Collect

ColorMate accesses your device's camera and photo gallery only to display and analyze colors from photos you select. All image processing happens locally on your device. We do not upload, store, or transmit your photos or color data to our servers or any third parties.

ColorMate also uses Firebase with Google Analytics to understand app usage and improve the service. Google Analytics for Firebase may collect app usage events, device information, app-instance identifiers, crash-related signals, and similar analytics data. This analytics data does not include the photos or color data that are processed locally in the app.

2. Camera and Photo Access

ColorMate requires permission to access your camera and photo gallery to provide its core functionality:

These permissions are used exclusively for color analysis and are not used to collect, store, or share your personal data.

3. Advertising

This app displays advertisements provided by third-party partners such as Google AdMob. These partners may collect limited information (for example, your Advertising ID, device type, or approximate location) in order to deliver personalized or non-personalized ads.

4. Analytics

We use Firebase and Google Analytics for Firebase to measure app performance, understand which features are used, diagnose issues, and improve ColorMate. Analytics data is processed by Google according to Google's privacy and data processing terms.

5. Data Retention

ColorMate does not store your photos, color data, or personal information on our servers. All data remains on your device. Any data processed by advertising networks or analytics providers is handled according to their privacy policies and retention settings.

6. Third-Party Services

ColorMate uses Google AdMob for displaying advertisements and Firebase with Google Analytics for app analytics. We do not sell your personal data. These third-party services may collect and process limited device, advertising, and analytics data as described in their own privacy policies.
