Introduction
At OdorTest (“we,” “our,” or “us”), we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive experience on our website and when using our odour-assessment tools. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit odortest.com.
We believe in being transparent about our data practices. As a service focused on providing free odour-measurement calculators, we have built the site with privacy-by-default principles, minimizing data collection and maximizing user control.
This policy applies to all users of our website and tools, regardless of location, and complies with applicable privacy laws including GDPR, CCPA, and other regional privacy regulations.
Information We Collect
Personal Information We Do NOT Collect
Unlike many websites, OdorTest is designed with privacy first:
- No User Accounts:We don’t require registration or account creation to use the calculators.
- No Calculation Data: Tool inputs and results are not stored or transmitted.
- No Cross-Site Tracking:We don’t track your browsing behavior across other sites.
- No Personal Profiles:We don’t build profiles based on your usage.
- No Location Data:We don’t collect or store location information.
- No Device Fingerprinting:We don’t collect device fingerprints or persistent identifiers.
Information We DO Collect
We collect minimal information in specific circumstances:
Contact and Subscription Information: When you voluntarily contact us or subscribe to updates, we collect your email address (and any message content you send). This is used solely to respond to your inquiry or send the updates you asked for, and is retained only as long as needed for that purpose.
Technical Information: Our website automatically collects minimal technical information necessary for operation, including browser type, operating system, referring website, pages visited, and an anonymized IP address. Technical logs are kept only briefly and then deleted.
How We Use Your Information
We use the limited information we collect to:
- Respond to your inquiries and provide support
- Send updates you have explicitly subscribed to
- Improve our tools based on aggregate usage patterns
- Ensure website functionality, security, and performance
- Comply with legal obligations where required
We do not sell your information to third parties.
Privacy of Our Tools
All odour calculators and tools on OdorTest operate entirely within your browser. Input values you enter (dilution factors, clean-air and sample flows, odour concentrations, panel threshold estimates, room volumes and air-change rates, emission rates, and acceptance criteria) are never sent to us, stored, or accessible to us. Your data remains on your own device.
