Privacy Policy

How Paint Analyzer handles contact submissions, calculator inputs, cookies, and external links.

Last substantive review: September 4, 2026.

Information you submit

If you use the contact form, we store the name, email address, subject, and message you provide so the editorial team can review and respond. Calculator inputs (room dimensions, color values) are processed to produce a result and are not stored or linked to you unless a calculator explicitly offers to save your project.

Security and abuse prevention

The contact form may store a one-way hash derived from the submitting IP address to help identify repeated abuse without retaining that address in the message record.

Cookies and analytics

Essential session and security cookies support forms, calculators, and core site functions. The site_cookie_consent cookie remembers your choice for up to 180 days. The Google tag loads on each page with analytics storage denied unless you previously selected “Allow analytics.” Before consent, it does not set Google Analytics measurement cookies. Google may receive consent-state and cookieless measurement signals. If permitted, Google may set measurement cookies such as _ga so Paint Analyzer can understand which calculators and guides are useful. Advertising storage and ad personalization remain disabled.

Changing your cookie choice

Use the “Cookie palette” link at the bottom of any page to reopen the notice. Choosing “Essential only” changes analytics storage to denied and removes Google Analytics cookies accessible to this domain. Information already transmitted after earlier consent is handled under Google’s privacy terms.

External links

Guides link to third-party retailers, manufacturers, and contractors. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites.
