Vesper Colors - iOS app and web tool

Vesper Colors collects no personal data. All color contrast calculations happen locally on your device or in your browser. No usage data, analytics, or identifiers are transmitted to any server. The Share feature generates a URL containing only the two hex color values you have chosen - no personal information - and opens your device's native share sheet or copies to your clipboard. You control where that URL goes.

Vesper Inspect - Chrome extension

Vesper Inspect inspects accessibility attributes of elements on pages you visit. All processing happens locally in your browser. The extension does not transmit any data about the pages you visit, the elements you inspect, or your usage to any server.

Vesper Inspect requests host permissions to interact with page content. This is required for element inspection and is used only on demand when you activate the extension - not for background monitoring or data collection.

Vesper Audit - macOS desktop app

No telemetry. Vesper Audit does not collect usage data, crash reports, or analytics of any kind. The app does not communicate with external servers except for the two operations described below.

License activation. When you activate a Supporter license, your license key and a machine identifier (a random UUID generated on first launch) are sent to a serverless function at vesperapps.com to verify the key. The machine identifier is used only to track seat usage for your license and is not linked to your identity.

Update checks. The app checks for updates by fetching a version manifest from vesperapps.com on launch. No identifying information is sent.

Local storage. Your license key, trial start date, and machine identifier are stored locally on your Mac in secure system storage. Your scan settings and preferences are stored in the app's local configuration folder. None of this is transmitted to us or any third party except as described above.

Scanned websites. Vesper Audit crawls websites you provide and runs accessibility checks locally. The results are stored on your machine. Nothing about the websites you scan is transmitted to us.

Vesper Guides - web

Vesper Guides is a static website hosted by Netlify. It collects no personal data. No accounts, no analytics, no tracking.

Purchases and payments

Supporter licenses for Vesper Audit are sold through a third-party payment processor that acts as Merchant of Record. When you become a supporter, your name, email address, and payment information are collected and processed by the payment provider under their own privacy policy. We receive your email address to contact you about your license and the fact of your purchase to verify activations. We do not receive or store your payment card details.

Children's privacy

The Services are not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13.

Data retention

Purchase records are retained by our payment processor per their own retention policy. Activation records stored in connection with Supporter license validation are retained for the duration of the license and deleted on request.

Your rights

You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal data we hold about you via our contact page. For data held by our payment processor, please refer to their privacy policy or contact them directly.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the Services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
