Privacy Policy

ColorSnapr

Effective date: 2026-10-13

This Privacy Policy explains what information the ColorSnapr mobile app (the "App"), published by Mint-Soft ("we", "us"), collects, how it is used and shared, and the choices you have. ColorSnapr has no accounts or sign-in, and the colors, palettes and photos you work with stay on your device.

1. Data that stays on your device

  • Camera: camera frames are analyzed in real time on your device to detect colors. Camera images are never uploaded to us or anyone else.
  • Photos you choose: when you pick a photo to sample colors or extract a palette, the App opens only that photo and processes it on your device. Photos are saved to your photo library only when you tap save.
  • Your color log, palettes, captured photos and settings are stored in the App's local storage on your device. We have no server that receives them, and we cannot see them.
  • Reminders are local notifications scheduled on your device. We do not use a push-notification server.

If you export or share colors or palettes, the file goes only to the destination you choose in the system share sheet.

2. LAN sharing ("View on same Wi‑Fi")

LAN sharing is optional and off until you start it. When you start sharing, the App runs a small web server on your device so that a browser on the same Wi‑Fi network can view your saved colors and photos. Viewers must enter an access password that you set in the App; the password is never included in the address or QR code. Data travels directly between your devices over your local network and never passes through our servers or the internet. The server stops when you tap "Stop sharing" or leave the sharing screen (on iOS, also when the App goes to the background).

3. Data collected by third-party services

The App uses the following services, which may process limited data from your device:

  • Google AdMob (advertising, free version only): device and app information, IP address, approximate location derived from it, ad interactions, and the device advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS, Advertising ID on Android). On iOS, the IDFA is accessed only if you allow tracking in the App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt. Depending on your consent choices and device settings, ads may be personalized or non-personalized. Ads are not shown after you purchase Pro.
  • Google User Messaging Platform (UMP): records and stores your advertising consent choices where consent is required (for example in the EEA, UK and Switzerland).
  • Firebase Analytics (Google): pseudonymous usage data such as screens viewed, feature and purchase-flow events, session length, app version, device model, OS version, country/language, and an app instance ID. It does not include your colors, photos or palettes.
  • Firebase Crashlytics (Google): crash and error diagnostics such as stack traces, device model, OS version, app version and a crash installation identifier, used to find and fix bugs.
  • RevenueCat (purchase management): an anonymous, randomly generated app user ID, your purchase and subscription status, and store transaction information, used to unlock Pro and restore purchases. RevenueCat does not receive your name or payment card details.
  • Apple App Store / Google Play: process all payments under your store account. We do not receive your payment card details. The App may also check the store for a newer version of the App.

4. How we use information

  • To provide the App's features and Pro purchases, and to restore purchases;
  • To show ads in the free version and measure ad performance;
  • To understand aggregated usage and improve the App;
  • To diagnose crashes and keep the App stable and secure.

Where the GDPR or similar laws apply, we rely on your consent for personalized ads and device-identifier access, on performance of our contract with you for purchases, and on our legitimate interests in keeping the App working and improving it for analytics and crash reporting.

5. Sharing and selling

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with anyone other than the service providers listed above, which process it to provide their services. Each provider's privacy policy applies to its processing:

We may also disclose information if required by law. These providers may process data on servers outside your country, including in the United States, under their own safeguards.

6. Your choices and consent

  • Ad consent (EEA/UK/Switzerland and other regions where required): change or withdraw your consent at any time in the App under Settings → Ad Privacy Settings.
  • iOS tracking: turn tracking on or off in iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
  • Android advertising ID: reset or delete it in Android Settings → Privacy → Ads (or Settings → Google → Ads).
  • Permissions: you can revoke camera, photo and notification access in your device settings at any time.
  • Ads entirely: purchasing Pro removes ads.

7. Data retention and deletion

  • On-device data stays until you delete it. You can delete individual colors and palettes in the App, and uninstalling the App deletes all of its local data.
  • Analytics data is retained by Firebase for up to 14 months; crash reports are retained by Crashlytics for up to 90 days.
  • Purchase records are retained by RevenueCat and the app stores as long as needed to provide your purchases and meet legal and tax obligations.

Because the App has no accounts, the data held by these services is not linked to your name or email. You can ask us to access or delete analytics, crash or purchase data by emailing app@mint-soft.com; we will use the deletion tools these providers offer and may ask for information that helps us locate the data (for example, a purchase receipt). Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to object to processing, to data portability, and to complain to your local data protection authority.

8. Security

Data on your device is protected by your device's own security. Data sent to the service providers above is encrypted in transit. LAN sharing is password-protected and limited to your local network; use it only on networks you trust.

9. Children

ColorSnapr is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page with a new effective date and, for significant changes, notify you in the App.
