Privacy Policy

Overview

My Essential Oil Experience ("we," "our," or "the site") respects your privacy. This policy explains what information is collected when you visit myessentialoilexperience.com, how it is used, and your rights regarding that information.

Information We Collect

Analytics data: This site uses a lightweight, privacy-respecting analytics system that stores data locally in your browser (localStorage). This data includes pages visited, time spent on each page, device type, browser type, and general referral source. This data is stored only in your browser and is not transmitted to any external server or third party.

Newsletter sign-up: If you submit your email address through our newsletter form, that email is collected solely to send you essential oil research updates. We do not sell or share email addresses with third parties.

Directory submissions: If you submit a practitioner listing to our therapist directory, the information you provide (name, practice, location, contact details) is stored in your browser's localStorage and displayed publicly on the directory page.

Contact form: Messages submitted through our contact form are sent directly to us for the purpose of responding to your inquiry. We do not store contact form data beyond what is necessary to respond.

Cookies & Local Storage

This site uses browser localStorage (not cookies) to store analytics data and directory listings on your device. This data does not leave your browser and is not accessible by any third party. You can clear this data at any time by clearing your browser's site data or localStorage.

We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or cross-site tracking technologies.

Third-Party Links & Affiliate Links

This site contains affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link and visit a third-party website, that website's own privacy policy governs how your data is collected and used. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external sites.

This site uses Google Fonts, which loads fonts from Google's servers. Google may collect usage data in accordance with their own privacy policy.

News Feed

Our news page retrieves RSS feed data via the rss2json.com API service. No personally identifiable information is transmitted in these requests. News data is cached in your browser's localStorage to minimize external requests.

Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your Rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of any personal information we hold about you by contacting us through our contact page. You may also clear locally stored analytics data at any time through your browser settings.
