Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how the iPalettes mobile application (the “App”), published by EKProApps (“we”, “us”), handles information when you use it on iOS and Android. iPalettes is a color-palette tool for creating, extracting, and organizing color palettes from photos.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information you provide
iPalettes has no login or user account. We do not ask for or store your name, email address, phone number, or password.
1.2 Photos and camera
To extract colors, the App can access photos you select from your library or capture with your camera. This access is used only to generate palettes on your device. Selected images and the palettes derived from them are stored locally and are not transmitted to us.
1.3 Photo search queries
If you use in-app photo search, the words you type are sent to the third-party photo services Unsplash and Pixabay so they can return matching images. We do not receive or store these search terms.
1.4 Automatically collected data (analytics & diagnostics)
We use Google Firebase to understand how the App is used and to detect and fix crashes. This may include:
- App usage events (screens viewed, features used)
- Crash reports and diagnostic logs
- Device information (model, OS version, language, region)
- App instance identifiers and non-precise usage data
This data is collected in aggregate/pseudonymous form and is not used to identify you personally.
2. How We Use Information
- To provide core features — creating and extracting color palettes.
- To operate photo search through third-party providers.
- To monitor stability, diagnose crashes, and improve performance.
- To understand which features are used so we can improve the App.
We do not sell your personal information.

5. Data Retention
Palettes and images you create live on your device until you delete them or uninstall the App. Firebase analytics and crash data are retained per Google’s Firebase retention settings.
6. Children’s Privacy
iPalettes is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child provided us information, contact us and we will address it.

- Delete all locally stored data by uninstalling the App.
- Disable analytics via your device’s advertising/analytics settings.
- Contact us with any privacy request (see below).
Depending on where you live, you may have rights under the GDPR or CCPA, including access, correction, and deletion. We honor applicable requests.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, an in-app notice.
