1. Overview & Fundamental Philosophy
Chromik ("we", "our", or "us") operates the website at chromik.site. We believe creative software should empower designers and developers without subjecting them to invasive tracking or surveillance.
Unlike conventional web apps that send every keystroke and asset to a remote cloud server, Chromik performs all color computations, color space translations (OKLCH, LAB, HSL, RGB), palette generation, and image pixel extraction locally on your device via standard HTML5 Canvas and ECMAScript APIs.
2. Information We Do NOT Collect
To be completely unambiguous about what is protected:
• Your Uploaded Images: When you use our Image Color Extractor, the image is loaded strictly into your browser's sandbox memory. No file is ever transmitted over the network or saved on our servers.
• Your Palettes & Color Schemes: All color palettes generated, saved, or locked remain strictly on your local device.
• Personal Profiles: We do not require accounts, logins, or social profile links to use any of our core color tools.
3. Information We May Collect
We collect minimal, non-personally identifiable technical data solely to maintain reliability and performance:
- Anonymous Usage Telemetry: We may use privacy-preserving web analytics (such as standard server request logs or privacy-conscious measurement tags) to track aggregate metrics like page views, device screen size categories, and browser versions.
- Support Communications: If you voluntarily contact us via our contact form or at support@chromik.site, we collect your email address and message contents solely to resolve your inquiry.
4. Cookies & Local Storage Usage
Chromik uses standard browser storage mechanisms strictly for functional user preferences:
Browser LocalStorage
Used to store your favorite colors, pinned palette swatches, and recent format selections (e.g. HEX vs. OKLCH vs. RGB) so they persist between visits. You can clear this anytime through your browser settings.
Essential Performance Cookies
Strictly necessary technical cookies used for cloud infrastructure security and DDoS prevention (e.g., Cloudflare/Vercel edge caching).
5. Third-Party Services & External Links
Our site may contain links to third-party resources (such as W3C WCAG specifications, MDN web documentation, or Google Fonts). Chromik has no control over external platforms and recommends reviewing their individual privacy policies when navigating away from our domain.
6. Your Rights Under GDPR and CCPA
Depending on your geographical jurisdiction (including the European Economic Area, UK, and California), you possess specific legal rights regarding your data:
- Right of Access & Portability: You may request confirmation of any personal information we retain about you.
- Right of Erasure: You can request immediate deletion of any communication history you have submitted.
- Right to Object: You can opt out of any non-essential analytics tracking at any time.
Because we do not store customer profiles or database records of your tool usage, your local data can be cleared instantly directly in your browser.
