SwatchKit is a small tool, and it collects as little as possible. The text you type into it is never sent anywhere: your swatch is built entirely in your browser.

Who runs this site

Mircea Mihalea, Romania. You can reach me at [email protected].

What we collect

Anonymous, aggregate usage statistics, through a self-hosted instance of Plausible Analytics running on a server in Romania. It uses no cookies and stores nothing on your device. IP addresses are not stored: a salted hash that changes every day is used to count unique visitors and is then discarded.

For each visit:

• pages viewed and the site that referred you
• country, browser, operating system and device type

When you download a swatch:

• the lettering mode (one or two colors) and whether the opacity steps were added
• the material category (for example PLA or PETG) and finish category (for example matte or silk)
• the brand, if it is one of a list of known filament brands, otherwise just “Other”
• whether the color was a preset, and which one, or a custom color
• whether a product code was entered, but not the code itself
• whether a fit warning was shown

When you switch between the Angled and Top views: which view you picked.

The text you type is never sent anywhere.

Why

To understand how the tool is used and make it better. The legal basis is legitimate interest (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)).

Server logs

The site is served by Cloudflare Pages, so we run no web server for it and keep no access logs. Usage events pass through Cloudflare to our Plausible server, which uses your IP address only to work out your country and the daily visitor hash, and doesn’t store it.

Stored in your browser

Your form values and chosen color are saved in your browser’s local storage, so they are still there next time. They never leave your device. To remove them, clear this site’s data in your browser.

Cloudflare may set one cookie, __cf_bm, to tell people from automated traffic and protect the site from abusive bots. It is strictly necessary for that purpose, expires after 30 minutes, isn’t used for analytics or advertising, and isn’t read by us. See Cloudflare’s cookie list.

Hosting and third parties

The site is delivered through Cloudflare, which necessarily processes your IP address and request details to deliver and protect the site. Cloudflare acts as our processor under its Data Processing Addendum and is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. See Cloudflare’s privacy policy.

Fonts and libraries are served from this site itself. Cloudflare hides the email address on this page from spam bots and adds a small script that shows it in your browser. There are no ads, no trackers and no analytics cookies, and no data is sold.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to access, erase or object to the processing of your personal data, among others. Because the statistics are anonymous, we generally can’t link any of them to you. For any request, write to [email protected]. You can also lodge a complaint with the Romanian supervisory authority, ANSPDCP.
