Pigmint – Privacy Policy

Effective date: May 1, 2026  ·  Last updated: May 1, 2026

Pigmint is a color-identification app for iOS. This policy explains what information the app accesses and how it is handled.

Summary

Pigmint collects no personal data and does not transmit any information off your device. There are no accounts, no analytics, no advertising, and no third-party SDKs that collect data.

Camera

Pigmint requests access to your device's camera so you can point it at a color or take a photo to identify. Camera frames are processed entirely on-device in real time to extract color information. No images or video are saved, shared, or transmitted anywhere.

Photo Library

Pigmint requests read access to your photo library so you can choose an existing image to identify a color from. Selected images are loaded on-device for color sampling only. No images are copied, stored, or transmitted outside the app.

Data Stored on Your Device

Pigmint stores the following data locally on your device only:

This data never leaves your device. It is not synced to any server, including iCloud (unless you have enabled iCloud backups for your device, in which case it may be included in your personal device backup managed by Apple).

No Analytics or Tracking

Pigmint does not use any analytics, crash-reporting, or advertising services. No usage data, identifiers, or behavioral information is collected or shared.

No Network Access

Pigmint does not make any network requests. All color matching is performed on-device using a bundled color dataset derived from the xkcd color survey, released under CC0.

Children's Privacy

Pigmint does not collect any information from anyone, including children under the age of 13. The app complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

Changes to This Policy

If this policy changes, the updated version will be posted at this URL with a revised effective date. Changes will only occur if the app's data practices change (for example, if a future version adds a feature that involves data collection).
