We’re building a global, multi-language reference for automotive paint — OEM color codes, alternative names, matching products and the vehicles that wear them. From a single car’s touch-up to an entire catalog at your fingertips.
Paint Catalog ("we", "our", "us") respects your privacy. This page explains what data we collect when you visit paintcatalog.com, why we collect it, and what your rights are under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and similar laws.
1. What we collect
The site is currently a placeholder. We do not require accounts, do not collect form submissions, and do not knowingly process special-category data. We may collect:
Technical data automatically logged by our hosting provider (Cloudflare): IP address, user agent, referrer, request timestamps. Used for security and abuse prevention.
Analytics data via Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics 4: pseudonymous identifiers, page views, device type, approximate location (country/region). Loaded only after you click "Accept" on the consent banner.
2. Legal basis
Technical/security data — legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Analytics — your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), withdrawable at any time.
3. Sharing & processors
Cloudflare, Inc. — hosting, CDN, DDoS protection.
Google LLC — Tag Manager, Analytics 4 (only with consent).
We do not sell personal data and do not run advertising on this page.
4. Retention
Server logs are retained by Cloudflare per their policy (typically < 7 days). Analytics data is retained for the period configured in our Google Analytics property (default 14 months).
5. Your rights
Under GDPR you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, port your data, and to object to processing. To exercise these rights, contact privacy@paintcatalog.com. You may also lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.
6. Withdrawing consent
You can withdraw analytics consent at any time by clearing cookies for this site in your browser. The consent banner will reappear on your next visit.
7. Changes
We may update this policy. The "Last updated" date above reflects the current version.
