Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what personal data PyColors may collect, how it is used, when it may be shared, and what rights you may have when using the website, documentation, products, checkout flows, downloads, and support channels.

Last updated: May 14, 2026

Minimal collection

PyColors aims to collect only the data needed to operate, secure, improve, and sell its products.

Clear purpose

Data is used for product delivery, support, analytics, billing, fraud prevention, and legal obligations.

Product-ready privacy

Structured for a growing developer platform selling templates, starters, and SaaS foundations.

1. Controller

The data controller for pycolors.io and related commercial operations described in this policy is Py Colors SASU, 6 rue d’Armaillé, 75017 Paris, France.

Privacy, product, commercial usage, and support requests can be sent to contact@pycolors.io.

2. What this policy covers

This policy covers personal data processed through:

  • the public website at pycolors.io;
  • documentation, guides, examples, blog posts, roadmap, and changelog pages;
  • contact forms, support requests, product inquiries, and email communications;
  • analytics and technical measurement used to improve the website and products;
  • premium product purchases, checkout flows, invoices, order recovery, and digital delivery;
  • future account areas, customer portals, download pages, or premium access systems operated by PyColors.

Third-party providers used for payments, hosting, analytics, email, or storage may also process personal data under their own privacy policies.

3. Data we may collect

  • Contact data such as name, email address, company name, and the content of messages you send.
  • Usage data such as pages viewed, browser type, device type, referral source, approximate region, interactions, and analytics events.
  • Transaction data such as product purchased, order status, billing metadata, invoice information, tax-related metadata, payment provider identifiers, and download or claim status.
  • Account or access data such as login identifiers, customer identifiers, role information, product entitlement, access token state, or subscription status if account features are used.
  • Technical and security data such as logs, IP-related security signals, error diagnostics, anti-abuse signals, and operational telemetry.

4. How we collect data

We may collect data:

  • directly from you when you contact us, request support, or make a purchase;
  • automatically when you browse the website or interact with product pages;
  • from payment and commerce providers when a checkout, payment, refund, invoice, or dispute is created;
  • from hosting, analytics, email, storage, or infrastructure providers used to operate PyColors.

5. Why we use personal data

We may use personal data to:

  • operate, maintain, and secure the website and product infrastructure;
  • deliver digital products, downloads, order access, and customer support;
  • process purchases, taxes, invoices, refunds, disputes, and billing operations;
  • respond to inquiries and manage customer relationships;
  • improve messaging, conversion flows, documentation, product quality, and roadmap decisions;
  • measure demand, traffic, product interest, and growth across the PyColors ecosystem;
  • prevent fraud, abuse, unauthorized sharing, license misuse, and security risks;
  • comply with legal, tax, accounting, and business obligations.

6. Legal bases

Depending on the context, PyColors may process personal data based on:

  • your consent, where required;
  • performance of a contract or steps taken at your request before entering into a contract;
  • legitimate interests, including operating, securing, improving, and commercializing PyColors;
  • compliance with legal obligations, including tax, accounting, and fraud prevention requirements.

7. Cookies and analytics

PyColors may use cookies or similar technologies for site functionality, analytics, performance monitoring, conversion measurement, security, and abuse prevention.

Current or future tools may include:

  • Vercel for hosting and infrastructure-related telemetry;
  • Google Analytics or similar analytics tools for traffic and product measurement;
  • strictly necessary cookies or storage required for checkout, account access, download flows, or security.

Where legally required, optional analytics or non-essential cookies should only be activated after appropriate consent.

8. Payments and commerce providers

Payments are processed by third-party providers rather than directly by PyColors.

  • Stripe may process product purchases, invoices, payment status, customer records, taxes, refunds, and disputes.
  • Other payment or commerce providers may be used for specific products, historical purchases, or future commercial offers.

PyColors may receive transaction-related information from those providers, such as purchase confirmation, billing status, country, tax data, invoice data, refund state, dispute status, and product entitlement. PyColors does not store full payment card numbers on its servers.

9. Digital delivery and downloads

Paid products may be delivered through claim pages, download links, access tokens, customer emails, private storage, or order recovery flows.

To provide and protect digital delivery, PyColors may process order identifiers, customer email, product entitlement, download token status, access logs, and related security signals.

10. Email communications

If you contact PyColors, purchase a product, request support, or use a product access flow, we may send transactional, operational, onboarding, support, security, billing, or product-related emails.

Email delivery may be handled by third-party email providers. Marketing emails, if introduced, should include unsubscribe options where required by law.

11. Data sharing

We may share personal data with service providers only where reasonably necessary to operate PyColors.

These providers may include:

  • hosting and deployment providers, such as Vercel;
  • analytics providers, such as Google Analytics or similar tools;
  • payment and billing providers, such as Stripe;
  • email delivery and communication providers;
  • storage, logging, security, and operational providers;
  • professional advisors where required for accounting, legal, tax, or compliance purposes.

We do not sell personal data in the ordinary meaning of that term.

12. International data transfers

PyColors is based in France and may serve users internationally. Some service providers may process data outside your country of residence, including outside the European Economic Area.

Where required, PyColors aims to rely on appropriate transfer mechanisms such as contractual safeguards provided by the relevant vendor.

13. Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including support, security, contractual, tax, legal, accounting, and anti-fraud needs.

  • contact messages may be retained to manage support and customer history;
  • transaction records may be retained for accounting, tax, fraud prevention, and legal compliance;
  • download and access data may be retained to provide order recovery and protect paid products;
  • analytics data may be retained according to the settings of the applicable analytics provider;
  • account or entitlement data may be retained while access remains active and for a reasonable period afterward.

14. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal data, including access controls, secure providers, operational monitoring, and security practices appropriate for a small digital product business.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. You should also protect your own devices, credentials, deployment environments, and downloaded source code.

15. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights such as access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, and withdrawal of consent where consent is the basis for processing.

To exercise your rights, contact contact@pycolors.io.

You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.

16. Children

PyColors products and services are intended for professionals, founders, developers, agencies, product teams, and business users. They are not directed to children.

17. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect product evolution, legal requirements, provider changes, new checkout flows, new account features, or new commercial products.

The “Last updated” date reflects the current version.
