Hexly Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

Hexly is a Chrome extension that extracts colors, typography, and element styles from websites. This policy explains what data we collect and how we use it.

What we collect

Hexly currently collects:

A randomly generated anonymous ID stored locally on your device
Anonymous usage events such as opening the panel, copying colors, and using the inspect tool
No personally identifiable information is collected at this time

Future data collection

Hexly may in the future offer optional account features. If and when that happens, this policy will be updated and you will be notified before any additional data is collected. Account creation will always be optional.

What we never collect

The URLs of pages you visit
The colors, fonts, or CSS values you extract or copy
Any content from the pages you browse

How data is used

Anonymous usage data is sent to Google Analytics via the Measurement Protocol. This data is used solely to understand feature usage and improve the extension. It cannot be traced back to any individual.

Local storage

Hexly stores one anonymous identifier in your browser's local storage (chrome.storage.local). This ID is included in anonymous analytics events sent to Google Analytics; it is never linked to your identity or any personal information.

Data & Third Parties

Google Analytics data is retained according to Google's standard retention policies. No other third parties receive any data.
