🎨 Color Palette Extractor

Privacy Policy

Effective date: March 2026  ·  Extension by Patrick Bushe  ·  Contact: hello@bushe.co

The short version: Color Palette Extractor does not collect, transmit, sell, or share any personal data. Everything stays on your device. Nothing leaves your browser.

What Color Palette Extractor Does

Color Palette Extractor is a design tool that extracts the color palette from any website by scanning computed CSS styles (backgroundColor, color, borderColor) of page elements. It does not read text content, user input, or any personal data, and does not communicate with any external server.

Data We Collect

None. Color Palette Extractor collects zero personal information. No names, emails, IP addresses, browsing history, or behavioral data are ever collected, stored externally, or transmitted anywhere.

Local Storage Only

Color Palette Extractor stores the following data exclusively in chrome.storage.local on your own device. This data never leaves your browser.

Key What it stores Purpose
lastPickedColor The last color you selected: background hex value, text hex value, HTML tag name, and timestamp Restores the most recent color selection when you reopen the popup

Permissions Explained

storage
Used to persist the last picked color in chrome.storage.local. Data is stored only on your device.

activeTab
Used to access the current tab's page content when you activate the color extraction. Only triggers when you explicitly click the extension — it does not run in the background or monitor tabs passively.

scripting
Used to inject the content script that reads computed CSS styles from page elements and builds the color palette.

clipboardWrite
Used to copy color values (hex codes) to your clipboard when you click a color swatch. The extension only writes to the clipboard — it never reads from it.

host_permissions (<all_urls>)
Required to inject the content script that reads computed CSS styles on any website. The script only reads visual style properties (backgroundColor, color, borderColor) — it does not read text content, user input, form data, or any personal information.

No Third-Party Services

Color Palette Extractor does not use analytics, crash reporting, advertising SDKs, or any third-party service. There are no external API calls. All color extraction logic is bundled inside the extension itself.

No Remote Code

Color Palette Extractor does not load or execute any code from remote servers. All JavaScript is bundled in the extension package that you install from the Chrome Web Store.

Children's Privacy

Color Palette Extractor is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children.

Changes to This Policy

If we update this policy, the new version will be posted at this URL. The effective date at the top will be updated accordingly. Continued use of the extension after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
