  • Information collected by Disqus includes name, email, IP address, and comment content
  • Your comments and reviews will be publicly visible to other users

Important: While SkinFem itself doesn't collect personal information, using the Disqus commenting system is optional and subject to Disqus's Privacy Policy.

We may share anonymous, aggregated usage statistics with:

  • Analytics Providers: To help us understand website traffic and usage patterns
  • Hosting Services: To maintain and operate our website infrastructure

Note: Apart from third-party services like Disqus, the data we directly collect is anonymous and aggregated. It cannot be used to identify any individual user or track personal browsing habits.

Even though we don't collect personal data, we still implement industry-standard security measures to protect our website:

Encryption

HTTPS for secure browsing

Protection

Safeguards against common web attacks

Monitoring

Regular security audits

Our commitment to security helps ensure that our website remains safe, reliable, and available for all users.

5. Your Choices Regarding Cookies

Since we don't collect personal information, your privacy choices primarily relate to cookies and anonymous analytics:

Browser Settings

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings preferences. You can typically delete or reject cookies.

Do Not Track

Some browsers have a "Do Not Track" feature that lets you tell websites you don't want to have your online activities tracked.

Note: Blocking all cookies may impact your experience on our website, as some features may not function properly without essential cookies.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience:

  • Analytics Data: Typically retained for up to 26 months
  • Aggregated Statistics: May be kept indefinitely in anonymized form
  • Cookie Data: Varies by cookie type, typically from session-only to 2 years

Since we don't collect personal information, there is no personal data to delete or retain.

8. Children’s Privacy

SkinFem is intended for a general audience and does not target content to children under 13 years of age. Since we don't collect personal information from any users, this includes children as well.

Our website is designed for users of all ages, but parental guidance is recommended for younger users exploring skincare information.

9. International Access

Our website is accessible globally. The anonymous usage data we collect may be processed on servers located in various countries. Since we don't collect personal information, international data protection regulations concerning personal data transfers do not apply.

However, we still follow best practices for data security regardless of where our servers are located.

10. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the new policy on this page and updating the “Last Updated” date.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
