When you create an account, we collect your email address and a hashed (never plain-text) password. We do not collect your name, address, phone number, or payment information. If you choose to save a retailer URL in your account preferences, that URL is stored alongside your account.
Images you upload for palette extraction are processed entirely in server memory and are never written to disk, stored in a database, or shared with third parties. Once processing is complete the image data is discarded. We do not use your uploaded images for training machine learning models or any purpose other than generating your requested colour palette.
