Does the Application require access to the device camera?
Camera Permission for Color Scanning
The Application requests access to your device's camera in order to provide its color scanning feature. When you use this feature, the camera captures a live image which is processed locally on your device to detect and identify colors from the W.S. Colors collection.
The Service Provider does not record, store, transmit, or share any video, photographs, or image data captured through the camera. No camera data leaves your device. Only the resulting color values you choose to save are stored, and these are saved locally on your device or, if you are signed in, associated with your account in the manner described above.
Camera access is only active while you are actively using the color scanning feature within the Application. You may grant or revoke camera permission at any time in your device's Settings under Privacy & Security → Camera, or in Settings → W.S. Colors. Denying or revoking camera permission will disable the color scanning feature but will not affect other functionality of the Application.
