Privacy policy
Last updated: October 20, 2026
Who handles your data
acnefacescan.com operates as a standalone website and is itself responsible for the data described below. Send any privacy question to privacy@acnefacescan.com.
What this site records
- Visit statistics: pages opened, the site that linked you here, time spent, scroll depth, buttons and links tapped, and broad device facts like screen size, language and time zone.
- Photo check ticks: the five boxes on the home page work only inside your browser. No photo is taken or uploaded on this site, and your ticks are not stored.
- Server logs: the hosting provider keeps IP addresses, browser types and requested pages for security and to keep the site running.
Where statistics go
Your browser posts visit statistics to /api/notice on this site. From there they are passed to an analytics provider (EU), which stores them inside the European Union. Your IP address is included so an approximate country can be derived. A random code in session storage groups the pages of one visit and is deleted when the tab closes, so separate visits stay unlinked. No cookies are set for statistics. Visitors in the EU are counted only after they choose "Allow".
Leaving for the face scan
"Start my analysis" and similar buttons go through acnefacescan.com/face-check and then on to acne.today, a separate paid service. That step tells acne.today which page and button you came from, plus the photo check result if you used it. Any photo, answer or payment you give acne.today is covered by its own privacy policy, not this one.
Legal basis
- EU visitor statistics: your consent, which you can change at any time via "Statistics choice" at the bottom of the home page.
- Statistics on visitors outside the EU, and server logs: our legitimate interest in a safe, working website.
- Emails you send: needed to answer them.
Browser storage

| fzTone | Dark or light colors, if you switch. Local storage. | Until you clear it |
| fzDock | Remembers that you closed the bottom bar. Session storage. | Until the tab closes |
| fz_dev, fz_ses, fz_cnt, fz_zone | Random visit code and page count for statistics. Session storage, not a cookie. | Until the tab closes |
Retention
Server logs: up to 90 days. Emails: only as long as needed to help you, and never past two years.
Recipients
The analytics provider and the hosting provider, each limited to what its task needs. Data is not sold to anyone.
Your rights
You may ask for access to your data, a correction, deletion, a copy, a limit on its use, or object to its use. Write to privacy@acnefacescan.com; you will get a reply within four weeks. You can also file a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) or the authority in your own country.
