Huefield is a color-hunting app. This policy explains how information is handled in the app, on this website, and when you contact support.
The short versionYour hunts belong to you. Huefield doesn't upload your photos. Sharing, Apple services, website hosting, and support email are explained separately below.
01 / THE APP
Photos and color analysis
Photos you take in Huefield and their color analysis are processed on your device. Huefield does not send your photos, captured colors, or hunt history to a Huefield server or an external image-analysis service.
The app stores your hunts, photo files, color-match results, associated dates, and successful Atlas location check-ins locally so you can return to your collection. It also stores preferences, onboarding progress, and purchase entitlement information on your device.
02 / THE APP
Camera, Photos, and location permissions
Huefield uses your camera when you open the capture experience to photograph a color. Color matching happens on your phone. The app does not request microphone access.
Location is optional. Huefield requests foreground (When In Use) location only after you explicitly turn on Atlas color check-ins. When enabled, Huefield can add successful location check-ins to Atlas automatically after a photo has already been saved. Full and reduced accuracy are supported, and normal hunting works without location.
When you choose to save an export, Huefield requests permission to add that image to Photos. It does not request access to browse your photo library. You can manage permissions in your device's Settings.
03 / THE APP
Atlas locations
Atlas locations are stored locally by Huefield and aren't sent to Huefield servers. Huefield does not have an Atlas account, backend, or sync service. Apple Maps, system location services, and device backups are Apple-controlled services with their own handling.
Free Atlas shows the newest nine successful check-ins while keeping older locations stored and locked. Lifetime Pro reveals complete history. Location capture and deletion do not depend on Pro status.
You can remove one check-in or use Clear all Atlas location history at any time. Clear all removes location from every discovery, including locked history, while preserving photos and hunts. Atlas exports exclude coordinates, accuracy, viewport, and location patterns.
05 / THE APP
Purchases
Huefield Pro is an optional one-time in-app purchase processed by Apple. Huefield does not receive your payment-card details. The app uses information supplied by the App Store to determine whether Pro is available and to restore a previous purchase.
Apple handles purchase information under its own terms and privacy policy. Purchasing and restoring require a connection to the App Store.

Analytics and local usage counters
Product telemetry is disabled in the release version of Huefield. The release app does not send product-analytics events to TelemetryDeck.
The app keeps some aggregate feature-use counters on the device, such as the number of export or purchase actions. These local counters contain no photos, colors, titles, filenames, or timestamps and are not transmitted by Huefield. They are distinct from remote analytics.
Internal development builds can use test telemetry when explicitly configured. That development behavior is not enabled in the release app described by this policy.
07 / THE APP
Storage and deletion
Removing a photo or deleting a hunt removes it from Huefield's local collection and schedules removal of the associated app-owned photo files. Deleting the app removes its local app data; offloading an app is different and may preserve its documents and data.
Deleting a hunt or the app does not delete images you saved to Photos, copies you shared elsewhere, or existing device backups. Uninstalling without a usable restore removes local Atlas data. Huefield does not promise cross-device sync or recovery and has no server-side photo or Atlas collection to recover or delete for you.
08 / IN TOUCH
When you contact support
If you email [email protected], your email address, message, and any attachments you choose to include are received to answer your request. Email is handled through the provider for this support address. Sending a support message is optional.
Please avoid sending sensitive information or photos unless you want to share them to explain a problem. For questions about information you have emailed, or to request its correction or deletion, contact the same address. Information in an email is separate from the app's locally stored hunts.

This website and Cloudflare

The website code does not include advertising trackers, a signup form, or product-analytics scripts. Fonts and images are served with the site. Hosting-level logs and security features are handled by Cloudflare; this is not a promise that visiting a website produces no technical records.
