Privacy policy

Who runs this site

Pick Image Colors operates pickimagecolors.com. For privacy questions, email contact@pickimagecolors.com.

Files, pasted images and colors

When you choose a file, drag an image onto the tool or paste an image from your clipboard, the image is decoded and analyzed locally in your browser. The site does not send that image or its extracted colors to us or to an image-processing service.

Picked colors and the image remain in the current page session. The tool does not create an account, save a history or store them in local storage. Exporting a palette downloads a file to your device. Copy buttons write the values you choose to your clipboard; pasting reads an image only when you invoke that feature and your browser permits it. Downloaded files and clipboard contents can remain on your device after the page closes.

Loading an image URL

If you enter an image URL, your browser requests that address directly. We do not use a proxy. That image host receives the network request, including your IP address, and its own privacy practices apply. The tool requests the image without credentials and with no referrer. Browser security and cross-origin rules still apply: if the image host does not allow access, loading fails and the tool shows an error. You can instead download the image yourself and choose the local file.

Website hosting and technical requests

The site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Visiting the website sends ordinary requests to Cloudflare to load the page, stylesheet and script. Cloudflare processes network and request information, such as IP addresses, requested URLs and browser information, to deliver and protect the site. This is separate from the image processing that stays in your browser. See Cloudflare's privacy policy for its practices.

Cookies, analytics and affiliate links

Cloudflare Web Analytics is enabled on the hosted site. Cloudflare can add a browser script that reports page visits and loading-performance information to Cloudflare. This is separate from our image-processing code. Cloudflare describes this service as cookie-free and says it does not track individual visitors across customer websites. See Cloudflare's collection documentation.

Optional Google Analytics 4 is available to measure website visits. Its script loads only after you choose “Allow analytics.” It can use first-party cookies to distinguish visits and report page views, activity, general device/browser details and traffic sources to Google. We disable advertising personalization and Google signals. Automatic enhanced measurements, including form, outbound-link and file-download events, are disabled for this resource. We do not send uploaded images, file names, pasted image addresses or picked colors to Google Analytics.

We pass the page origin and path without its query string or fragment, and reduce referrers to their origin. Google receives network information when your browser contacts its servers. See Google's Analytics cookie documentation and Google's privacy policy.

Choose “No thanks” to keep using the tool without GA4. Use “Analytics choices” in the footer to change your decision. We store only that preference in local storage. Withdrawing stops further GA4 loading; existing cookies can be removed using your browser's site-data controls. Cloudflare's separate hosting and cookie-free analytics services continue as described above.

Our homepage includes a clearly labeled affiliate recommendation for a Shuttle Art product through PartnerBoost. We may earn a commission from purchases made through its link. The recommendation is plain text and an outbound link: displaying it does not load a PartnerBoost or Amazon image, tracking pixel or advertising script. We do not send your uploaded images or picked colors to either provider.

If you click the recommendation, your browser opens a PartnerBoost tracking link and then the merchant destination on Amazon. Those services receive the request and the affiliate identifiers in the link, and may process network information or use cookies under their own privacy practices. The link uses a no-referrer policy. See PartnerBoost's privacy policy and the privacy notice on the destination site. Our Analytics choices control applies to GA4 on this site, not to websites you choose to visit.

Contact email

If you email us, we receive the address you send from, your message and any attachments you choose to include. Messages to our contact address are forwarded through Cloudflare Email Routing to a Gmail inbox. Those services process the email to deliver it. We use your message to respond and handle your request. Please do not email sensitive images or information that we do not need to resolve the issue.

You may email us to request deletion of correspondence we hold. We do not hold copies of images merely opened in the tool, so there is no server-side image record for us to retrieve or delete.

Changes

We will update this page when the site's actual data practices change. The date above identifies this version.
