ColorPop is made by Ben Dansby. This policy covers the Mac app.
ColorPop collects nothing about you. There is no analytics, no telemetry, no account, and no identifier. The colors you pick never leave your Mac.
The eyedropper is macOS’s own color sampler. The system reads the pixel and hands ColorPop a single color — ColorPop never sees, captures or records your screen, which is why it doesn’t ask for screen-recording permission. If you’re ever asked to grant it, something other than ColorPop is asking.
Your recents, your palettes, the names you give colors, and your settings. The library is a plain file at ~/Library/Application Support/ColorPop/library.json that you can read, back up or delete. It is never transmitted.
bendansby.com for its update feed. That request carries your app version and macOS version, which is what any updater needs.That is the entire list. Picking colors, naming them, building palettes and copying formats all happen with no network at all.
If you buy a license, activating it sends your license key to Lemon Squeezy, who handle the purchase and validation. Their handling is covered by the Lemon Squeezy privacy policy. ColorPop stores the resulting receipt locally. If you never buy a license, this never happens.
ColorPop requests no system permissions — no screen recording, no accessibility, no files, no camera or microphone.
ColorPop is a utility for people who work with color. It is not directed at children and collects nothing from anyone.
If this policy ever changes, the updated version will appear on this page with a new date. Since ColorPop collects nothing, any change is likely to be a clarification.
