Introduction
At iNaturel (“we,” “our,” or “us”), we are committed to protecting your privacy and being straightforward about our data practices. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit inaturel.com, use our natural-beauty tools, and read our guides.
As a site focused on free, educational clean-beauty content and tools, we have built the platform with privacy-by-default principles, minimising data collection and keeping the tools client-side.
This policy applies to all users of our website and tools, regardless of location, and is designed to align with applicable privacy laws including the GDPR, the CCPA, and other regional regulations.
Information We Collect
Information We Do NOT Collect
iNaturel is designed with privacy first:
- No Accounts to Browse: Reading the site and using the tools requires no registration.
- No Calculator Data: The inputs and results of our tools are not stored or transmitted to us.
- No Cross-Session Tracking:We don’t build a profile of your browsing behaviour across sites.
- No Selling of Data: We never sell or rent your personal information.
Information We DO Collect
We collect minimal information in specific, opt-in circumstances:
Newsletter Subscription: If you choose to subscribe, we collect your email address to send occasional ingredient breakdowns and natural-skincare tips. Subscription uses double opt-in (you confirm via a link), and every email includes a one-click unsubscribe. You can leave at any time.
Contact Messages: When you contact us, we collect your email address and message so we can reply. This is used solely to respond and is retained only as long as needed for support, then deleted.
Technical Information: Our host automatically records minimal technical information necessary for operation and security, such as browser type, operating system, referring page, and a truncated or anonymised IP address. These logs are kept only briefly.
How We Use Your Information
We use the limited information we collect to:
- Send the newsletter you subscribed to, and respond to messages you send us
- Improve our tools and guides based on aggregate usage patterns
- Keep the website functional, secure, and performant
- Comply with legal obligations where required
Privacy of Our Tools
All calculators on iNaturel operate entirely within your browser. The values you enter (carrier and essential-oil amounts, dilution and concentration percentages, sunscreen times and intervals, the products in your routine, open dates and PAO figures, patch-test times, etc.) are never sent to us, stored, or accessible to us. That data stays on your device.
