Privacy Policy

SpectraCheck is designed with privacy as a core principle. We believe in transparency and giving you control over your data.

1. Images You Upload

Collection: When you upload an image for color vision deficiency (CVD) simulation, the image is processed entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript and WebGL.

Storage: We do not store, transmit, or have access to any images you upload. All processing is local to your device.

Retention: Images remain in your browser's memory only while you're actively using the tool. When you close the browser tab or navigate away, the images are immediately cleared from memory.

2. Analytics Data

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our website. This helps us improve the tool and provide better content. The information collected includes:

• Pages visited and time spent on each page
• Browser type and version
• Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
• Geographic location (country/city level only)
• Referring website (where you came from)
• Operating system

Note: Analytics data is anonymized and aggregated. We cannot identify individual users from this data.

3. Contact Form Data

When you submit our contact form, we collect:

• Your name
• Email address
• Subject of your inquiry
• Message content

This information is used solely to respond to your inquiry and is not shared with third parties or used for marketing purposes without your explicit consent.

4. Cookies and Local Storage

We use minimal cookies and browser storage:

• Analytics Cookies: Google Analytics sets cookies to track your session and distinguish unique visitors.
• Preference Cookies: We may store your UI preferences (e.g., selected CVD type, severity level) in local storage to improve your experience on return visits.
