Who we are

Color Coefficient provides personalized color-analysis and palette recommendations based on visual color information that a user chooses to sample. The legal business entity operating the service has not been supplied in this project file, so this Policy refers to the operator of Color Coefficient as “Color Coefficient,” “we,” or “us.” The operator’s legal entity name must be added before publication if one is used or legally required.

Information you choose to provide

Depending on the feature you use, you may provide a photograph, a hair-color reference image, a shopping or product screenshot, traced or clicked image regions, skin/iris/hair/lip color samples, feature inclusion choices, freckles settings, colors you want to check, labels you type for saved colors or closet items, and a Color Coefficient export file that you intentionally re-import.

This build does not include user accounts, passwords, payment collection, cloud wardrobes, persistent server-side profiles, or a support-message form.

Photo and image handling

For the main analysis, the browser creates a temporary local object URL for the image you select, draws a scaled copy to an HTML canvas, and reads pixels only from regions you draw. The source image itself is not uploaded. After local sampling, the application uses fetch() to send compact derived measurements—such as Lab/RGB summaries, chroma, spread, and pixel counts—to Color Coefficient’s same-origin analysis API. The request does not include the portrait, canvas image, or freehand selection paths.

While you are selecting regions, the working image, canvas pixel buffer, and outlines exist in the current browser page. After a completed analysis pass, the code revokes the temporary object URL, clears the selected file reference, image object, canvas pixel data, drawn regions, and file input. If you do not complete a pass, the working image remains in the open page until you replace it, choose Start Over, refresh, or close the page.

The same local approach is used for the hair-color reference tool and the “Check a Color” image sampler. The hair reference is cleared after the comparison. The image sampler remains in the page until you clear or replace it, refresh, or close the page.

The application keeps compact derived color summaries in page memory so it can combine more than one analysis pass. Those summaries include color measurements and feature relationships, not the original portrait. They are cleared when the page is refreshed or closed or when you start over. The active Color Coefficient is not automatically restored from browser storage.

The current code does not send uploaded images to an AI provider, model-training service, marketing system, or human-review queue. Derived color measurements are sent only to the Color Coefficient analysis endpoint to calculate the requested result. The original portrait is not included in the generated palette image, result-sharing text, printed report, or portable Color Coefficient export.

Facial recognition and biometric clarification

This build is designed for color sampling, not identity recognition. It does not perform facial recognition, create an identity template, authenticate you from your face, compare you against a facial database, search for you elsewhere, or recognize you across services. It also does not automatically detect facial landmarks; you manually choose the areas to sample.

The service nevertheless processes visual information about appearance. Laws define “biometric” and “sensitive” information differently, so this Policy does not claim that all appearance-related processing is outside every legal definition of biometric or sensitive data.

Sensitive characteristics

Color Coefficient is not designed to infer or classify race, ethnicity, religion, health conditions, disability, sexual orientation, political beliefs, immigration status, genetic traits, attractiveness, personality, or personal worth. Skin-tone measurements are used as color information for palette recommendations, not as racial or ethnic classifications.

Automatically collected technical information

The application code itself does not include analytics, advertising pixels, remote tracking SDKs, authentication services, or telemetry calls. It does use a strictly necessary PHP session cookie to protect the analysis endpoint and enforce basic request limits. However, when any website is hosted publicly, the hosting, CDN, security, or network infrastructure may process ordinary request information such as IP address, browser or user-agent information, requested URL, timestamps, and security or diagnostic events. The supplied HTML does not reveal the production hosting provider, its exact logs, or its retention settings. Those items must be verified before launch and this Policy updated if needed.

How information is used

Information processed by this build is used to provide the requested color analysis, generate a personal palette through the private server-side engine, compare candidate colors, combine multiple analysis passes, let you save chosen colors or closet items on your own device, generate exports you request, and support basic operation, security, and error handling. The current code does not use photo data for advertising, marketing profiles, identity verification, or unrelated secondary purposes.

Algorithms and automated processing

The current build uses both browser-side and server-side mathematical color processing. The browser reads RGB values from user-selected pixels and creates compact color summaries. The private server-side engine uses those summaries to calculate the continuous profile, seasonal fit, color relationships, and personalized palette. The supplied code does not call a third-party AI or computer-vision service. Color Coefficient does not use this analysis to make decisions about employment, credit, housing, insurance, education, healthcare, legal rights, or access to essential services.

Cookies and browser-local storage

The application uses a strictly necessary PHP session cookie for CSRF protection and request-rate controls. It does not use that cookie for advertising or cross-site tracking, and it does not use sessionStorage or IndexedDB. It uses localStorage to retain colors and closet items only when you choose to save them. The current implementation can retain up to 200 saved colors and up to 200 closet items. Recent color checks are kept in page memory for the current session and are not restored on a later visit.

Saved browser-local items remain on that browser profile until you remove them through Color Coefficient’s clear controls or clear the relevant browser/site data. Those deliberately saved colors and closet items are not transmitted to the analysis API by the current build.

Information sharing and third parties

The supplied code does not send the source photo or derived analysis to third-party APIs. Derived color measurements are sent to Color Coefficient’s own same-origin analysis endpoint. It also does not load remote fonts, remote stock images, analytics libraries, advertising libraries, payment processors, or account providers. A production host may process ordinary website-delivery information as described above.

If you choose the native Share option, copy result text, open the Email Result feature, print, or save a file, the information you choose to send or save is handled by your device, browser, email application, operating system, printer/PDF workflow, or destination service under its own terms and privacy practices. The application’s share text does not include the uploaded portrait.

If future versions add third-party infrastructure or services, the categories of providers, purposes, data involved, and retention terms should be disclosed here before deployment.

Sale, cross-context sharing, targeted advertising, and data brokers

Based on the supplied code, Color Coefficient does not sell personal information, share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, process personal information for targeted advertising, or provide personal information to data brokers. There is therefore no decorative “Do Not Sell or Share” control in this build. If those practices change, the notice and any legally required opt-out mechanisms must be implemented before the change takes effect.

Retention and deletion

Security

Keeping the source image in the browser while sending only derived color measurements reduces the amount of portrait data transmitted over the network. The analysis endpoint uses same-origin checks, a per-session CSRF token, input limits, and basic rate limiting. This does not make any website perfectly secure. The supplied frontend does not establish the operator’s server, hosting, administrative, backup, incident-response, or organizational safeguards, so this Policy does not make unverified promises about encryption, absolute security, anonymity, or breach prevention.

Privacy rights

Depending on where you live and subject to applicable law, you may have rights concerning personal information that an organization controls, such as rights to confirm processing, access, correct, delete, obtain a portable copy, opt out of certain sales or targeted advertising, limit certain uses of sensitive personal information, withdraw consent in some circumstances, and appeal certain request decisions.

Because saved colors and closet items remain only in your own browser, the operator may not possess a server-side copy of those items to access, correct, or delete. The transient derived measurements used for analysis are not designed as a persistent user profile in this build. You can remove browser-local saved colors and closet items using Color Coefficient’s controls or your browser’s site-data controls. See Consumer Privacy Rights for more detail.

Children’s privacy

Color Coefficient is a general personal-styling service and is not specifically designed or marketed as a service for young children. The owner has not supplied a final minimum-user-age policy or a public parent/guardian contact channel. Those operational choices require review before public launch. Where applicable law requires parental or guardian authorization, a child’s photograph should not be submitted without that authorization.

International users

This draft is structured primarily for a U.S.-facing consumer service. It does not represent that Color Coefficient has completed GDPR, UK GDPR, Canadian, Australian, or other international compliance work. Intentional international expansion should be reviewed for local legal bases, rights, notices, age rules, transfers, and representative requirements before launch in those markets.

Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy as the service or legal requirements change. The Effective Date and Last Updated date should be changed when the Policy changes. Materially different uses of previously collected information should not be authorized silently merely by editing this page; where applicable, additional notice or consent should be used.

Contact and privacy requests

Color Coefficient needs one public contact method for privacy questions, access/deletion requests, appeals where applicable, accessibility feedback, and legal/IP questions. No public contact address was supplied with this project, and none has been invented.

Agreement to these Terms

By accessing or using Color Coefficient, you agree to these Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

Description of the service

Color Coefficient is a personal color-analysis and styling-recommendation service. It lets you select color information from photographs, calculates a continuous color profile, provides a familiar seasonal shorthand, generates personalized palettes, and offers related color-comparison tools.

Informational and recommendation nature

Results are recommendations and interpretations, not rules about what you may wear. A season label such as Deep Winter is shorthand within the Color Coefficient system, not a biological classification. You remain free to wear, buy, combine, dye, or use any colors you choose.

Recommendations can be affected by the image and selections you provide, lighting, camera processing, makeup, hair dye, contact lenses, display rendering, and the model’s assumptions. Color Coefficient does not guarantee that every recommendation will match your taste, another analyst’s opinion, or how a material looks in person.

No medical or other consequential advice

Color Coefficient does not provide medical, dermatological, psychological, genetic, health, employment, credit, insurance, housing, education, or legal advice. It is not intended to diagnose conditions or determine race, ethnicity, health, disability, identity, attractiveness, personality, personal worth, employability, or relationship suitability from a photograph.

Your photos and other content

You are responsible for having the rights and permissions needed for photographs, screenshots, labels, and other material you choose to use. Do not submit content unlawfully or in a way that violates another person’s privacy, publicity, copyright, or other rights.

You keep ownership of content you provide. You grant only the limited permission technically necessary to process that content through the service and provide the feature you requested. In the current build, the source photo remains in the browser; compact derived color measurements are sent to Color Coefficient’s analysis endpoint to calculate the requested result.

Color Coefficient intellectual property

Subject to third-party rights and applicable law, Color Coefficient’s original branding, written content, interface design, graphics, software code, original presentation, database/structure choices, and proprietary analysis methodology may be protected by intellectual-property and other laws. Nothing in these Terms claims exclusive ownership over facts, mathematical formulas, color science standards, generic ideas, ordinary descriptive color terms, common seasonal vocabulary, or third-party material.

Third-party trademarks, copyrights, standards, and other intellectual property remain the property of their respective owners. Descriptive references do not imply sponsorship, certification, approval, or affiliation.

Prohibited uses

You may not use the service to break the law or violate another person’s rights. You also may not knowingly introduce malicious code, attack or overload the service, attempt unauthorized access, bypass security controls, misuse automated access in a way that materially interferes with operation, or scrape or reverse engineer protected elements where and to the extent such restrictions are permitted by law. Nothing here limits rights that cannot legally be restricted, including rights that applicable law expressly preserves for interoperability, security research, fair use, or similar purposes.

Third-party services and links

Some actions may hand information to a service you choose, such as your email application, operating system share sheet, printer/PDF workflow, browser download manager, or future third-party links. Those services operate under their own terms and privacy practices. Color Coefficient is not responsible for third-party services outside its control.

Availability and changes to the service

We may maintain, improve, modify, suspend, or discontinue features. We do not promise that the service will always be available, error-free, compatible with every browser, or permanently preserve locally stored information. You are responsible for saving any export or report you want to keep.

Disclaimers

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Color Coefficient is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We disclaim warranties that can legally be disclaimed, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. This does not exclude warranties, consumer guarantees, or other rights that applicable law does not allow us to waive.

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Color Coefficient and its operator will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, profits, goodwill, or business opportunities arising from use of or inability to use the service. Any limitation applies only to the extent legally enforceable and does not limit liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to be responsible for claims arising from your unlawful misuse of the service, your intentional violation of these Terms, or content you submit without required rights or permissions. This provision is intended to be reasonable and does not require you to indemnify Color Coefficient for its own unlawful conduct where such a requirement would be unenforceable.

Governing law and disputes

No governing-law jurisdiction, forum-selection clause, mandatory arbitration provision, class-action waiver, or jury waiver has been added because those business/legal decisions were not supplied. They should be selected, if desired, only after legal review of the operator’s actual location, entity, users, and risk profile.

Updates to these Terms

We may update these Terms as the service changes. The Last Updated date should identify the current version. Material changes should be communicated in a manner appropriate to the nature of the change and applicable law. Continued use after an updated version becomes effective may constitute acceptance where legally permitted.

Contact

A public legal contact method must be configured before production publication. No personal email address, mailing address, telephone number, legal department, or company officer has been invented for this draft.

What we analyze

Color Coefficient analyzes visual color information from areas you choose. Depending on your selections, that can include skin, irises, hair, and lips. The application examines color values and relationships such as warm–cool balance, lightness/depth, chroma, feature-to-feature contrast, and color differences.

Why we analyze it

The purpose is to create personal color recommendations: a continuous color profile, a familiar seasonal shorthand, palette colors, neutrals, contrast guidance, and optional comparisons such as a candidate hair shade or another color you are considering.

How the image is handled in this build

The selected image is loaded into the browser and drawn to a canvas. You manually trace or click the area to sample. The main analyzer reads pixels only inside those selected regions. The source photo is not uploaded. The browser sends compact derived color measurements from those regions to Color Coefficient’s private analysis endpoint, which returns the modeled result.

After a completed main analysis pass, the working photo and outlines are cleared. If you stop before completing a pass, the image stays in the open page until you replace it, start over, refresh, or close the page. Compact color summaries can remain in session memory so multiple analysis passes can be combined; the original photo is not part of those summaries.

What the analysis does not mean

Color Coefficient is a color-recommendation service. Its analysis is not intended to determine race, ethnicity, health, medical conditions, disability, genetic traits, identity, attractiveness, personality, personal worth, employment suitability, or relationship suitability. It does not identify you or compare your face to an identity database.

Seasonal shorthand

Labels such as Deep Winter are familiar shorthand for the neighborhood of a broader continuous color profile. They are interpretations inside the Color Coefficient system rather than biological categories or scientific diagnoses. Two people with the same shorthand season can receive meaningfully different personal palettes.

Photography limitations

A normal photograph is not a laboratory measurement of physical spectral reflectance. Results can be affected by lighting, exposure, white balance, HDR, camera processing, filters, shadows, reflections, image compression, makeup, hair dye, colored contact lenses, screen reproduction, and the exact regions you choose. Multiple neutral-light photos can provide a useful consistency check, but they do not turn an ordinary camera into a spectrophotometer.

Your control

You choose the image, draw the regions, and control which supported features are included. Both cheeks and forehead are used for the complexion baseline, while the interface lets you include or exclude supported optional features such as hair, lips, and iris evidence according to the product workflow. You can start over at any time.

Current build

The application sets one strictly necessary PHP session cookie used for CSRF protection and basic rate limiting on the analysis endpoint. It does not use sessionStorage or IndexedDB. No third-party tag manager, analytics script, advertising pixel, authentication SDK, or tracking SDK is present in the supplied code.

Preference and convenience storage

The application uses localStorage for colors and closet items that you deliberately save. This is browser-local convenience storage, not a cross-site advertising identifier. The active analysis and recent checks are not restored from that storage.

Analytics

No third-party analytics service is included in this build. If analytics is added later, the Privacy Policy and this Notice should identify the provider, data collected, purpose, retention, and any consent or opt-out control that is actually implemented.

Advertising

No advertising pixel, cross-context behavioral advertising code, or targeted-advertising SDK is included in this build.

Hosting and security infrastructure

A production web host, CDN, WAF, or security service can have its own logging or cookie behavior in addition to the application’s strictly necessary session cookie. The final production host and configuration are not identifiable from this standalone HTML, so they must be checked before launch. If the host sets a strictly necessary security or load-balancing cookie, this Notice should be updated to describe it accurately.

Your choices

Because this build uses only a strictly necessary session cookie and does not deploy optional analytics or advertising cookies, it does not show a cookie-consent banner or a “Cookie Choices” control. If optional tracking is later added, any consent or opt-out interface must actually prevent or stop the relevant technology rather than merely changing a visual preference.

Rights that may apply

Depending on your residence and applicable law, you may have rights to confirm whether personal information is processed, access it, correct inaccuracies, delete it, receive a portable copy, opt out of certain sales or targeted advertising, opt out of certain profiling, limit particular uses of sensitive personal information, withdraw consent in some circumstances, or appeal certain privacy-request decisions. Not every right applies to every person, organization, or type of data.

United States state privacy laws

Color Coefficient is intended to use one clear framework rather than dozens of contradictory mini-policies. Comprehensive state privacy laws in states including Oregon, Colorado, Virginia, Connecticut, Texas, Utah, California, and others can provide different rights, definitions, thresholds, exceptions, and appeal procedures. This page does not claim that Color Coefficient is subject to every state statute or exempt from one.

Where a law applies, Color Coefficient should honor the rights and notices that law requires for personal information the operator actually controls.

California

If the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended, applies to Color Coefficient, California residents can have rights such as knowing/accessing covered personal information, deletion subject to exceptions, correction, opting out of covered sale or sharing, limiting certain uses/disclosures of sensitive personal information, and non-discrimination for exercising covered rights. The current application code does not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, so this build does not add a “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link that would have no underlying activity to control.

Data that exists only on your device

Saved colors and closet items in the current build live in your browser’s local storage. Color Coefficient does not receive a server copy of that local-only information. You can delete it using the in-product clear controls or your browser/site-data controls. The portable export feature lets you obtain a copy of your derived Color Coefficient and saved color information when you choose to create one.

Sales, sharing, targeted advertising, and profiling

The supplied code does not sell personal information, share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, use it for targeted advertising, or conduct profiling in furtherance of decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects. If those practices are introduced later, the applicable notices and opt-out mechanisms must be added before they begin.

Submitting requests and appeals

For personal information actually controlled by the operator, eligible users should be able to submit applicable access, deletion, correction, portability, opt-out, limitation, consent-withdrawal, or appeal requests through a clear public contact method. The operator may need to verify a request and may deny or limit a request where applicable law permits or requires it.

Our accessibility goals

We aim for clear structure, keyboard-accessible controls, readable type, responsive layouts, visible focus states, understandable labels, and reduced reliance on color alone. Because Color Coefficient is specifically about color, important instructions and result meaning should also be expressed in text where practical.

Current features

The supplied interface includes semantic headings and navigation, labeled controls, a skip link, visible keyboard focus treatment, keyboard activation for upload controls, responsive layouts, text labels alongside color information, and support for the browser’s reduced-motion preference.

The photo-selection workflow

The analyzer asks users to visually identify and trace regions of a photograph. That interaction is inherently visual and may require assistance for some users. The written result, explanatory content, navigation, and many supporting controls remain available through standard page content.

No absolute compliance claim

Accessibility can vary by browser, device, zoom level, assistive technology, and user needs. Color Coefficient does not claim perfect accessibility, formal ADA certification, or 100% WCAG conformance without an appropriate audit.

Accessibility feedback

A public method for reporting accessibility barriers should be provided before launch so users can describe the page, feature, assistive technology, and problem they encountered.
