Privacy Policy

MyKindofColor ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website mykindofcolor.com and the MyKindofColor mobile application (together, the "Service"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our Service.

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

• Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your email address and password. If you sign in with Google, we receive your name and email address from Google.
• Saved Data: If you choose to save palettes or track your art supplies, that data is stored in your account.

This collects anonymous usage data such as pages visited, time on site, device type, and approximate geographic location. Google Analytics uses cookies. You can opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
