Privacy policy

1. Who we are

ColourPilot is provided by Endor Digital ("we", "us"). We are responsible for this policy and for any personal information we handle in connection with ColourPilot and this website.

You can contact us about privacy at any time at info@endor.digital.

2. The ColourPilot app

ColourPilot is designed so that we don't need to collect anything about you. The app has no account, no advertising and no crash-reporting software. The only information it can send anywhere is optional usage statistics, described in section 3, and only if you agree.

Information stored on your device

To work, the app keeps the following on your device only:

• Your vision profile: the colour vision type you choose or save from a Vision Check.
• Vision Check results: your answers, scores and the result of each screening you complete.
• Saved colours: each colour's name, colour family, hex and RGB values, when you saved it, and any label you add.
• Settings: preferences such as appearance, speech and accessibility options.

This information never leaves your device through ColourPilot, and we cannot see it. Vision Check results relate to your colour vision, so we treat them with particular care. Keeping them on your device means they are never shared with us or with anyone else unless you choose to show them.

Device backups

If you use iCloud Backup, Google backup or a similar service, your device may include ColourPilot's data in its backups. Those backups are controlled by you and your backup provider, under their own privacy terms.

Spoken colour names

When you use "Speak colour", the app uses your device's built-in text-to-speech feature. Apple or Google, or whichever speech engine you have chosen on your device, provides this feature.

3. Usage statistics (optional)

The first time you open the app after setting it up, it asks whether you're happy to share anonymous usage statistics. They are off unless you say yes, and you can change your answer at any time in Settings → Privacy.

If you agree, the app uses Google Analytics for Firebase, provided by Google, to send:

• which screens you open, for example Colour Spotter or Settings
• a small set of actions: starting or finishing a Vision Check, skipping a practice, identifying or saving a colour (without the colour), changing the simulation type (without the type), and saving or sharing an image
• a random app instance ID, created by Firebase, that lets Google count devices without knowing who you are
• basic technical details, such as device model, operating system, app version and approximate location (country or region, worked out from your IP address)

It never sends your Vision Check answers or results, your vision profile, the colours you identify or their names, your labels, or camera images. We don't use advertising identifiers, Google signals or advertising features, and the statistics aren't used for advertising or to identify you.

Our lawful basis is your consent. Google processes this data for us as a processor and may process it outside the UK, under its standard data protection terms. Google Analytics keeps event-level statistics for 2 months, its shortest setting, after which only combined totals remain. When you turn statistics off, the app deletes its app instance ID and any statistics not yet sent.

4. Camera and photos

ColourPilot asks for camera access so that Colour Spotter can identify colours and Through My Eyes can show a colour vision simulation. You can refuse or withdraw this permission at any time in your device settings. The other features keep working.

• The camera is only used while Colour Spotter or Through My Eyes is open on screen.
• Camera images are processed in your device's memory and are not stored, recorded or uploaded.
• An image is only saved to your photo library when you tap Save. ColourPilot asks for permission to add photos only. It does not read or browse your existing photos.
• When you tap Share, your device's share sheet opens. Whatever app you choose to share with handles the image under its own privacy policy.

5. Deleting your data

Because your data is stored only on your device, you are in control of it:

• Open Settings → Data in the app to clear your saved colours, your screening history or your vision profile, or to reset your preferences.
• You can also change or clear your vision profile from the Profile tab.
• Turn off usage statistics in Settings → Privacy. This deletes the app's analytics ID and any statistics not yet sent.
• Deleting the app removes everything it has stored on your device.

We don't hold a copy, so we can't recover data you have deleted, and we can't delete it for you.

6. App stores

When you download ColourPilot, Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play) handles the download and your account with them. They act independently of us, under their own privacy policies.

The app stores may give us anonymous, combined statistics, such as the number of downloads or, if you have agreed to share it with developers through your device settings, crash reports. This does not identify you, and we use it only to understand how the app is doing and to fix problems.

7. This website

getcolourpilot.app does not use cookies, analytics or advertising.

• Hosting: like any website, our hosting provider automatically processes basic technical information, such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested, so it can deliver the site and keep it secure. We don't use this to identify you.
• Fonts: the site loads its typeface from Google Fonts, so your browser connects to Google, which receives your IP address. Google's privacy policy applies to this.

8. Contacting us

If you email us, we receive your email address, your name if you include it, and whatever you write. We use this only to reply to you and to help with your request. Our lawful basis is our legitimate interest in responding to people who contact us. If your message is about a privacy request, our lawful basis is our legal obligation to respond.

We keep emails only for as long as we need them to deal with your message and any follow-up, and normally no longer than two years after our last contact with you. We never sell your information or use it for marketing, and we share it only with our email provider, which stores it for us.

9. Children

ColourPilot can be used by people of any age, including children with an adult's help. Because the app doesn't collect personal information, it doesn't collect any from children. If a child has emailed us and a parent or guardian would like that message deleted, please contact us.

10. Your rights

Under UK data protection law (the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018), you have rights over personal information we hold about you. These include the right to:

• ask for a copy of it
• ask us to correct it or delete it
• object to, or ask us to restrict, how we use it
• ask us to transfer it to you or to someone else

In practice, the only personal information we are likely to hold is any email you have sent us. To use your rights, email info@endor.digital. We will respond within one month.

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your information, please tell us first so we can try to put it right. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk or on 0303 123 1113.

11. Changes to this policy

If we change how ColourPilot handles information, we will update this policy and the date at the top of this page. If a change matters, for example if the app ever needed to send data off your device, we will explain it clearly in the app before it takes effect.
