Privacy Policy

Summary

Colorplan is a paint color planning tool for homes. We collect the minimum data needed to run the service: your email and encrypted password for your account, the color plans you create, and images you upload. We do not sell your data. We do not use it for advertising.

What we collect

• Account: email address and a hashed password.
• Plan data: house name, floors, rooms, color choices, notes, and other plan content you create.
• Uploaded images: photos you add to moodboards or fixture specs. Stored on Amazon S3.
• Camera photos (mobile app): photos you capture with the in-app camera for color matching. By default these are processed on request and not stored unless you explicitly save them to a plan or moodboard.
• Usage logs: standard web server logs (IP, user-agent, request paths) retained for security and debugging.

How we use data

• To authenticate you and keep your plans available across devices.
• To render the plans and moodboards you create.
• To optionally generate AI color suggestions via the Anthropic API. Only the prompt text (your style description) is sent; no personal identifiers.
• To fetch public product information from external paint-brand websites when you paste a product URL.

Third-party processors

• Amazon Web Services — hosting, image storage, and database.
• Neon — managed Postgres database.
• Anthropic — AI color suggestions, when you request them.

Camera and photo library

The Colorplan iPhone app requests camera and photo library access to let you pick paint colors from walls or photos. These permissions are only used in response to your actions. The app does not run the camera in the background, and photos are not uploaded unless you explicitly save them to a plan or moodboard.

Deleting your account

You can delete your account and all associated plan data at any time. In the iPhone app, open Settings → Delete account. On the web, email us at the address below. Deletion is permanent and removes all plans, moodboards, uploaded images, and account credentials from our systems.

Data retention

We retain your account and plan data for as long as your account exists. Server logs are retained for up to 30 days. Deleted accounts and their data are removed from live systems immediately and from backups within 90 days.

Children

Colorplan is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.
