Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 6, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how DupeNose ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses and shares information when you visit dupenose.com (the "Site").
Information we collect
Information you give us. If you contact us, submit a fragrance listing, leave a review or create an account, we collect the information you provide, such as your name, email address and the content of your message or submission.
Payments. Paid listing submissions are processed by Stripe. We do not see or store your full card details; Stripe handles them under its own privacy policy.
Information collected automatically. Like most websites, we and our service providers automatically collect certain information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, device type, pages viewed, referring page and the date and time of your visit. This is collected through cookies, pixels and similar technologies.
Cookies and advertising
We use cookies to keep the Site working, to understand how it is used, and to support advertising and affiliate links.
Advertising. We may use Google AdSense and other third-party advertising partners to show ads. These vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your previous visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this Site and/or other sites on the internet.
You can opt out of personalized advertising from Google by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of many third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info/choices and, in the EU and UK, at www.youronlinechoices.eu. Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link, the retailer may set a cookie so it can tell that you came from DupeNose. This lets us earn a commission if you make a purchase. See our Affiliate Disclosure.
Analytics. We may use analytics services to understand how visitors use the Site, such as which pages are most popular. These services collect information through cookies and similar technologies.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how the Site works.
How we use information
We use information to:
- Operate, maintain and improve the Site
- Respond to messages and process listing submissions and payments
- Understand how the Site is used and what content is useful
- Show advertising and track affiliate referrals
- Protect the Site against fraud, spam and abuse
- Comply with legal obligations
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information with:
- Service providers that help us run the Site, such as our hosting and directory platform, payment processor, and analytics providers
- Advertising and affiliate partners, as described above
- Authorities, when required by law or to protect our rights and the safety of others
Under some U.S. state laws, allowing advertising partners to collect information through cookies for personalized ads may be treated as a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. You can opt out of this using the options in the "Cookies and advertising" section above or by contacting us.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or obtain a copy of your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. To make a request, contact us through our Contact page. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.
Children
The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Data retention and security
We keep personal information only as long as needed for the purposes above, unless a longer period is required by law. We use reasonable measures to protect it, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
Third-party links
The Site links to retailers and other websites we do not control. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top shows when it last changed.
