Hueno
Privacy Policy
- The camera picture is analyzed on your phone. It is never uploaded and never stored, except a small picture of a color you choose to save.
- Your colors, names, collections and calibrations stay on your phone. We have no servers and no accounts, so we cannot see them.
- The free version shows ads from Google AdMob, which collects device data to deliver ads. Purchases go through Google Play.
Who we are
Hueno is published on Google Play by Dragon LLC ("we", "us"). For any question about this policy or your data, write to dragonkart.dev@gmail.com.
What stays on your phone
Hueno works without an account and without our own servers. The following is created by you and stored only in the app's private storage on your device:
- Camera frames. Hueno reads the colors inside the ring on the phone itself. Frames are processed in memory and discarded. They are not saved, uploaded or shared.
- Photos you open. When you pick a photo, Android's photo picker gives Hueno access to that one image only. It is read on the device and not uploaded or copied.
- Saved colors. When you save a color, Hueno keeps its values (hex, RGB), its name, the date, any name or collection you add, and a small cropped picture of the spot it came from.
- Calibrations and settings. Saved calibrations (camera exposure and white-balance values), your settings, and counters for the free limits.
- Pro status. Whether you bought Pro and how long a video Pro pass has left, so Pro keeps working offline.
The app excludes this data from Android cloud backups, so it does not leave your phone through Google backup either. If you export your colors to a CSV file, the file goes where you choose in the system file picker; what happens to it after that is up to you.
When you tap the speaker button, the color name is passed to the text-to-speech engine installed on your phone, which is provided by Android or the phone maker under their own terms.
What third parties receive
Google AdMob (ads)
The free version shows banner ads and, only when you tap to watch one, rewarded videos. Ads are served by Google AdMob, part of Google Mobile Ads. To deliver and measure ads and to prevent fraud, Google collects data from your device, which can include:
- the advertising ID and other device identifiers,
- IP address and approximate location derived from it,
- device and app information (model, operating system, language, app version),
- ad interactions (which ads were shown and tapped), and diagnostics.
Google may use this data to show personalized ads where the law and your choices allow. See how Google uses data from apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.
Hueno does not start the ads SDK during the first time you use the app. Where the law requires consent, such as in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, Hueno asks for it with Google's consent form before any ads are requested. You can change your choice any time in Settings, under "Privacy choices". You can also reset or delete your advertising ID in your phone's Settings, under Privacy, then Ads.
Hueno Pro and an active Pro pass turn ads off.
Google Play (purchases)
Hueno Pro is sold through Google Play Billing. Payment details are handled by Google, never by us. Hueno only receives a confirmation of the purchase from Google Play, which it uses to unlock Pro. See the Google Payments Privacy Notice.
What we receive
Nothing automatically. Hueno has no analytics or crash reporting of its own. We only receive what you send us yourself, such as an email; we use it to answer you and keep it only as long as needed for that.
Permissions
| Permission | Why |
|---|---|
| Camera | To read colors live. Used only while the camera screen is open. |
| Internet, network state | For ads and Google Play purchases. Identifying colors works offline. |
| Advertising ID | Used by Google AdMob as described above. |
| Google Play billing | To buy and restore Hueno Pro. |
Hueno does not ask for access to your contacts, location, microphone or files. Photos are opened through the system photo picker, one at a time, without a storage permission.
Your choices and deleting data
- Delete any saved color in the app, or delete saved calibrations in the calibration panel.
- Clear all of Hueno's data in Android Settings, under Apps, Hueno, Storage, Clear data, or simply uninstall the app. Because the data exists only on your phone, this removes it completely.
- Change ad consent in Hueno's Settings, under Privacy choices, where available.
- For data held by Google, use the controls Google provides, such as My Ad Center.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data, or to object to its use. Since we hold no personal data about you beyond any email you send, write to us and we will help, including with requests about the ads providers.
Security
Data stays in Hueno's private app storage, which other apps cannot read. Communication with Google's services is encrypted in transit by those services.
Children
Hueno is a general-audience tool and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes
If we change this policy, we will update this page and the date at the top. If a change affects what data the app shares, we will also say so in the app's release notes.
