WHAT'S THE HEX? — COLOR PICKER

Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 14, 2026

What's the Hex? processes a screenshot of the visible portion of the active browser tab only after the user clicks the extension toolbar button or its context-menu command. The screenshot is used locally and temporarily to let the user inspect a pixel's color.

Data collection and use

What's the Hex? does not collect, store, sell, or transmit personal information, browsing history, website content, analytics, or usage data. The visible-tab screenshot is held in memory on the user's device and discarded when the picker closes or the page is unloaded.

The extension does not use remote code, make network requests, display advertising, or share data with third parties.
