Privacy on acneoncheeks.com

Updated October 21, 2026

Who answers for the data

acneoncheeks.com is an independent site and chooses what it measures, so it is responsible for that data. Questions go to privacy@acneoncheeks.com.

What a visit leaves behind

• Visit statistics: the pages you open, where you came from, how long and how far you read, the links and buttons you press, and device details like screen size, language and time zone.
• The "Which cheek?" tool: your two answers are worked out in your own browser and are not sent anywhere. Only the side you picked travels in the link if you press the button under the result.
• Server logs: the host keeps IP addresses, browser types and requested addresses to keep the site safe and running.

How visits are counted

Your browser sends statistics to this site's own address, /api/glint. From there they go to an analytics provider (EU) that keeps them on servers in the European Union. Your IP address goes along so a rough place, such as country, can be worked out. A random visit code in session storage links the pages of one visit and vanishes when the tab closes, so two visits cannot be tied together. No cookies are used for statistics. If you are in the EU, nothing is counted until you press "Count it".

The acne.today buttons

Buttons such as "Start my cheek check" pass through acneoncheeks.com/cheek-map and then open acne.today, a separate paid service. The link tells acne.today which site and which button sent you. Whatever you share there falls under acne.today's own privacy policy.

Legal grounds

• EU visitor statistics: your consent, which you can take back at any time with "Statistics choice" at the foot of the home page.
• Statistics for other visitors and server logs: a legitimate interest in a safe site that works.
• Email you send: to reply to you.

Stored in your browser

Name	What it does	How long
kcOk	Your answer to the statistics question. Local storage, never sent.	Until you clear it
kcBar	Remembers that you closed the bar at the bottom. Session storage.	Until the tab closes
_kc_v, _kc_t, _kc_c, _kc_z	Random visit code, start time, page count and campaign zone for statistics. Session storage, not a cookie.	Until the tab closes

How long it is kept

Server logs: 90 days at most. Email: as long as it takes to help, and never more than two years.

Who gets it

Only the analytics provider and the host, each with no more than its job needs. Nothing is sold.

Your rights

You can ask to see, fix, delete or receive a copy of your data, limit how it is used, or object to it. Write to privacy@acneoncheeks.com for an answer within four weeks. You can also complain to the data protection authority where you live.
