At ForScent, we value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you visit or interact with our website.
Who we are
Our website address is: https://forscent.com
We are a lifestyle blog focused on the power of scent in everyday life.
Comments
When you leave a comment on our site, we collect the information you enter in the form, such as your name, email address, and comment. We also collect your IP address and browser details to help prevent spam.
If you use a Gravatar, an anonymized string (or “hash”) from your email may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you have a profile. Once your comment is approved, your profile picture will appear next to it. Read Gravatar’s privacy policy for more info.
Media
If you upload images to the site, we recommend removing any location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors to the site can download and extract this data from images if it’s included.
Cookies
When you leave a comment, you can choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies—so you don’t have to re-enter them later. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will check if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal information and is deleted when you close your browser.
If you log in, we set cookies to remember your login info and display preferences. Login cookies last two days (or two weeks if you check “Remember Me”), and display cookies last one year. Logging out removes these cookies.
When you edit or publish a post, a cookie storing the post ID is saved in your browser. It contains no personal data and expires after one day.
Embedded content from other websites
Some of our articles may include embedded content (like videos, images, or posts from other websites). This content behaves just as if you had visited the original site.
Those sites may collect data about you, use cookies, and track your interaction with their content—especially if you’re logged in to their services.
Who we share your data with
If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the reset email for security purposes.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, both the comment and its metadata are kept indefinitely. This allows us to automatically approve future comments from you.
If you register on our site (if registration is available), we store the personal information you provide in your profile. You can view, edit, or delete your information at any time—except for your username. Site administrators can also access and modify this data.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account or have left comments, you can request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you. You may also request that we delete your data, unless we’re required to keep it for legal, security, or administrative reasons.
Where your data is sent
We use automated spam detection services to review visitor comments and protect the site from spam and abuse.
