Information we collect
HexDrop is designed to collect as little information as possible.
Personal information
HexDrop does not collect, store, or transmit personally identifiable information such as:
- Name
- Email address
- Location data
- Contacts
Color data
- Colors you pick (HEX, RGB, etc.) are stored locally on your device only.
- This data is never transmitted to any server by the app.
Screen Recording permission
HexDrop may request Screen Recording permission from macOS in order to:
- Sample colors directly from your screen
- Display a live color preview (loupe)
Important:
- We do not record, store, or transmit your screen content.
- All processing happens locally on your device.
If you deny this permission, HexDrop falls back to system color picking methods.
Analytics
HexDrop does not use analytics, tracking tools, or third-party SDKs.
How we use information
Since HexDrop does not collect personal data, the only data usage is:
- Storing your selected colors locally for your convenience
- Enabling app features such as history and quick copying
Data storage
All data generated by HexDrop:
- Is stored locally on your device
- Is never uploaded to external servers by the app
- Can be cleared by uninstalling the app or resetting its data
Third-party services
HexDrop does not integrate with any third-party services.
Data sharing
We do not sell, share, or disclose any data because we do not collect user data in the first place.
Security
Because HexDrop operates locally and does not transmit your color data to our servers, your information remains under your control on your Mac.
Children’s privacy
HexDrop does not knowingly collect any data from children under the age of 13.
