Privacy Policy
Summary
Spectral processes all images locally on your device. No personal data or photos are collected, stored on remote servers, or shared with third parties.
1. Data Collection
Spectral does not collect personal data:
- No account registration or sign-in is required.
- No email addresses or contact information are collected during normal editing.
- No device fingerprinting or tracking techniques are used.
- No photos or edit data are sent to any server.
2. Analytics
Spectral uses Cloudflare Web Analytics for anonymous traffic counts:
- Does not use cookies.
- Does not track or identify individual visitors.
- Does not collect personal data.
- Provides aggregated page view numbers only.
No other telemetry or tracking scripts are loaded.
3. Photo Processing
All image adjustments run client-side using WebGL 2, Canvas, and WebAssembly. Your photos remain on your computer.
RAW file demosaicing and EXIF parsing execute through WebAssembly in your browser without external APIs.
4. Local Storage
Spectral stores data locally in your browser:
- OPFS & IndexedDB: stores imported photos, projects, editing state, thumbnails, and custom LUT files.
- localStorage: stores UI preferences (panel layouts, display settings) and your Pro license status if activated.
All data remains on your machine. You can erase everything at any time by clearing site data in your browser.
5. Cookies
Spectral does not use cookies.
6. Third-Party Services
Spectral uses external providers only when strictly necessary. Cloudflare provides anonymous traffic counts. Mollie B.V. processes payments when purchasing Spectral Pro. When purchasing Pro, your email address is securely processed via our Cloudflare Worker backend solely to issue your license key, send receipts, and enable magic link recovery. If you submit feedback via the in-app feedback widget, your message and optional email are processed by Web3Forms. Spectral never sells your data and does not store payment card details.
7. Service Worker & Offline Use
Spectral uses a service worker to cache static application files for offline use. It does not monitor or send user data.
8. Hosting
Spectral is hosted on GitHub Pages. Standard server access logs (such as IP addresses) may be collected by GitHub infrastructure.
9. Children's Privacy
Spectral collects no personal information from any user.
10. Data Transfers
Spectral does not transmit user data across borders. Everything stays in your browser.
11. Your Rights
For general use, all data resides on your device and can be cleared directly in your browser. For Pro license holders, you have the right under GDPR to access, rectify, or request deletion of your purchase record and email address by contacting spectral@platvlak.com.
12. Changes to This Policy
If data handling practices change in future versions, this document will be updated accordingly.
