Privacy policy
Last updated: October 14, 2026
Who we are
skincareforacne.com is its own operator. Any choice about the data on this page is made by us. Questions: privacy@skincareforacne.com.
What we process
- The routine builder: your skin type and acne type choices are handled in your browser. We don't store them. If you allowed statistics, we record that the builder was used. When you click “Start my analysis” in the builder, your choices travel in the link to acne.today (for example “skin=oily&type=both”).
- Visit statistics: which page you view, the referring website, how long and how far you read, and which links and buttons you click, together with technical details of your browser and device (such as screen size, language and time zone).
- Technical data: IP address, browser type and requested pages in our hosting provider's server logs, used only for security and to keep the site working.
Visit statistics
We count visits with an analytics tool that keeps its data in the EU. Your browser sends the data to our own address (/api/event/), which forwards it to that tool together with your IP address, from which the tool derives an approximate country and city. We don't store the IP address ourselves. Each visit gets a random number kept in your tab's session storage, which disappears when you close the tab. No cookies are used for this.
If you visit from the European Economic Area or nearby, counting only starts after you click “Allow” in the statistics notice. You can change your choice at any time with “Cookie choice” at the bottom of the home page.
The link to acne.today
The “Start my analysis” buttons lead through our address /analyze to acne.today, a separate paid service for an AI face analysis. The link tells acne.today that you came from this site (“src=skincare”) and, where relevant, what you picked in the builder. We receive no photos, answers or payment details from acne.today, which has its own privacy policy. We may earn money when you buy the analysis through these links.
Legal bases
- Visit statistics for visitors from the European Economic Area: your consent. For other visitors: our legitimate interest in knowing which pages help.
- Server logs and security: our legitimate interest in a safe, working website.
- Answering your email: handling the request you make.
