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 access and picking
HexDrop is designed so everyday color picking uses macOS’s built-in color sampler and does not rely on Screen Recording, Accessibility, or Input Monitoring for that workflow or for global shortcuts.
Important:
- Colors you pick are handled on your device; the app does not upload your color history to our servers.
- We do not record or transmit your screen as video for picking.
If a future macOS version or system dialog mentions HexDrop alongside other privacy categories, what you see in System Settings is authoritative for that release.
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.
HexDrop marketing site (hexdrop.app)
The HexDrop marketing site is delivered through a content delivery network (Cloudflare). To send you to the right regional Mac App Store listing, Cloudflare may attach an approximate country code (derived from your IP address) to the HTML page your browser receives. We do not use that code to build a profile of you, and we do not store it on our own servers for that purpose.
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.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
