Privacy
Your photos stay on your device.
Chromilla is built so you can colour-match without handing over your images. Here is exactly what happens when you use it.
On-device processing
Photos you upload and camera frames you scan are read straight into your browser. Pixel sampling and colour extraction happen locally in your device's memory.
No uploads
Your images are never sent to Chromilla, to any server, or to a third party. We do not see them, store them or share them.
What we do save
Your last 8 picked colours are kept in your browser's local storage (key: chromilla:history) so the picker can show them again. Clearing your browser data removes them.
What we send to a server
Only short text requests for mixing tips: a hex value and the chosen role (highlight, midtone or shadow). These go through the Lovable AI Gateway to a Google Gemini model that writes the steps. Never an image.
Camera permission
If you use the camera scanner, your browser asks for permission to access the camera. The video feed is shown only to you. Chromilla samples a small patch of pixels in the centre of the frame to read the colour. No frames are recorded or transmitted, and the camera stops as soon as you close the scanner.
Analytics and cookies
Chromilla does not set advertising cookies and does not run third-party ad trackers. The only browser storage we use is the local-storage entry for your recent colours described above.
Questions?
If something here is unclear, get in touch and we will explain it plainly. Privacy should not need a lawyer to read.
