Colony Lock Picker runs entirely in your browser. Any lock you enter, solve, or simulate is processed locally on your device and is never transmitted to or stored on a server. There are no user accounts and we store no personal data about you.
Your light/dark theme choice is saved in your browser's localStorage so the site can remember it on your next visit. This stays on your device and is never sent to us.
We use the "Cloudflare" service provided by Cloudflare Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA (hereinafter referred to as "Cloudflare").
Colony Lock Picker runs on Cloudflare Workers and uses Cloudflare's content delivery network with DNS that is available worldwide. As a result, the information transfer that occurs between your browser and our website is technically routed via Cloudflare's network. This enables Cloudflare to analyze data transactions between your browser and our website and to work as a filter between our servers and potentially malicious data traffic from the Internet. In this context, Cloudflare may also use cookies or other technologies deployed to recognize Internet users, which shall, however, only be used for the herein described purpose.
The use of Cloudflare is based on our legitimate interest in a provision of our website offerings that is as error free and secure as possible (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Data transmission to the US is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) of the European Commission. Details and further information on security and data protection at Cloudflare can be found here: cloudflare.com/privacypolicy.
Cloudflare is certified in accordance with the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF), an agreement between the European Union and the US intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the US. For more information: dataprivacyframework.gov.
We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with Cloudflare as required by Art. 28 GDPR. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — legitimate interest in operating the service securely.
We use a self-hosted instance of Umami to understand how Colony Lock Picker is used. Umami collects anonymized page views and interaction events (e.g. when the solver is run, the lock size, whether a lock was solvable, whether a full solution was applied, and theme toggles). It uses no cookies, does not track individual users across sessions, and does not process personal data. All analytics data remains on our own server and is not shared with third parties. Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR — legitimate interest in improving the service.
Under the GDPR, you have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you, as well as the right to object to or restrict processing. Because we store no personal data beyond what Cloudflare processes as part of standard infrastructure operation, these rights are primarily exercised with Cloudflare directly. To exercise your rights or ask questions, contact us at contact@auraforge.net.
We do not sell, rent, or share any data with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.
We may update this policy at any time. The date at the top reflects the most recent revision.
