Privacy Policy

Overview

The Scent Guide respects your privacy and is committed to being transparent about how information is collected and used when you visit our website.

This Privacy Policy explains the types of information we may collect, why we collect it, how we use it, and the choices available to you. By using this website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

Information We Collect

We may collect information that your browser or device automatically provides, such as pages viewed, referring pages, approximate location, device type, browser type, operating system, interaction events, and general performance information.

If you contact us directly, we may collect the information you choose to provide, such as your name, email address, message content, and any other details included in your communication.

How We Use Information

We use information to operate, maintain, secure, and improve The Scent Guide, including understanding which pages are useful, measuring site performance, identifying technical issues, and improving navigation and content quality.

We may also use aggregated or non-identifying information to understand search visibility, referral sources, product interest, conversion patterns, and the effectiveness of our editorial and commercial content.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies, pixels, local storage, and similar technologies to remember preferences, measure website usage, understand visitor behavior, improve performance, and support affiliate attribution.

You can usually adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Some features, measurements, or referral tracking may not function as intended if cookies or similar technologies are disabled.

Analytics and Performance Measurement

We use privacy-conscious measurement tools to understand how visitors find and use the website, how pages perform, and whether content is helpful. This may include collecting usage events, page views, referral information, device information, approximate location, and performance metrics.

We do not use this information to identify you personally unless you voluntarily provide identifying information, such as by contacting us.

Affiliate Links and Commercial Relationships

Some links on The Scent Guide may be affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate partners or retailers may use cookies or similar technologies to track referrals, purchases, and commissions. Pricing, availability, shipping, returns, and retailer policies are controlled by the applicable retailer, not The Scent Guide.

Information Sharing

We may share limited information with service providers and partners that help us operate the website, measure performance, understand traffic, maintain security, or attribute affiliate referrals.

We do not sell your personal information. We may disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights, to prevent misuse of the website, or as part of a business transfer involving The Scent Guide.

Data Retention and Security

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including analytics, security, legal compliance, and business recordkeeping.

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information, but no website or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Your Choices

You may limit cookies through your browser settings, use privacy controls offered by your device, or contact us to request access, correction, or deletion of personal information you have provided directly to us.

Depending on your location, you may have additional privacy rights under applicable law. We will respond to valid requests as required by law.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated date above reflects the latest revision. Continued use of the website after changes are posted means you accept the updated policy.
