Information We Collect and Why We Collect It

We collect several types of information and data through this website in three distinct ways: directly from the user, from server traffic reports, and through cookies.

Information Provided Directly by the User:

We request and collect personal data such as your first and last name, email address, and/or phone number when you complete the contact form directly on our website or create a customer account. We use this data to respond to your messages via email or phone and to provide you with additional information regarding your purchases on the website.

We also request and collect personal data such as your first and last name, address, phone number, email address, and billing information to fulfill our contractual obligations.

When you leave comments on the site, we collect the data requested and displayed in the respective form, as well as your IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. In this situation, it is not mandatory to use your real or full name, and the email address provided will not be published on the site. An anonymized string (also called a hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service’s privacy policy is available here. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public next to your comment.

We assure you that we will securely store your personal data on our server or on the email platforms we use.

Information from Server Traffic Reports:

When you access a website, it automatically provides certain information such as your IP address, time of visit, referring source, device used, browser type and version, operating system, or platform used. We record and store this information for a determined period. For this purpose, we use external services like Google Analytics and Google Search Console solely for the purpose of analyzing and communicating anonymous user traffic patterns. We do not use traffic data to identify individuals behind IP addresses.

Information Obtained Through Cookies:

Cookies are “.txt” files provided to the user’s browser by a web server and then stored on the device used to access the site. The use of cookies is a current standard employed by most websites you visit.

Most browsers are set to accept cookies. Cookies allow us, for example, to save data entered in a form so you don’t have to re-enter it the next time you visit and wish to contact us through a form. If you do not wish this, you can reset your browser to be notified or even refuse the use of cookies.

Our website uses cookies to differentiate between various users who have visited our page, enabling us to offer personalized services.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, articles, etc.) or may link to other websites. Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Each of these websites has its own privacy policy, and we are not responsible for compliance with those policies. Please check their privacy policy before providing them with your personal data.

How We Use the Collected Information

We will use the collected data for the following purposes:

To fulfill contractual obligations arising from agreements between the data subject and us as providers of ambient perfumes and other products, in order to provide the requested information or services.

To continuously improve the information and content on our website in the most efficient way for users.

To administer our website and related internal operations such as troubleshooting, data analysis, testing, research, or for statistical purposes.

To allow you to participate in interactive features of our services, if you choose to do so.

To maintain security and safety conditions when you browse our website.

Who We Share Your Data With

We assure you that we do not sell your personal data to third parties.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If personal data needs to be saved and processed to fulfill various contractual relationships, the data will be retained only for the period necessary to perform the service in connection with the collected data, or, as the case may be, as long as stipulated in the contract.

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

Regardless of the situation, we will treat this data confidentially and use it only in accordance with data protection legislation and for the purpose for which it was requested.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

You have the right to ask us not to process your personal data at all. We will inform you why we need to collect this data or if we are obliged to disclose your data to third parties (see above for specific situations). You can exercise your right to request that we do not process your data by checking certain boxes on the forms used to collect this data, or you can request this at any time.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

Any changes to our Privacy Policy will be published on this page or, where appropriate, notified to you by email. Please check this section frequently to stay informed about any potential changes.
