01 / SCOPE01

Who and what this policy covers

This policy covers visits to DrySkinCreams.com and direct communications with its editorial team. It does not govern Amazon, product manufacturers, linked medical resources or other external websites.

DrySkinCreams.com is the controller of personal information it decides to use for editorial and contact purposes. Service providers may process information on our behalf to host, secure and operate the site.

02 / INFORMATION02

Information we may receive

You can read the site without creating a DrySkinCreams account. We may receive information you choose to send by email, such as your name, email address, message and attachments.

Web hosting and security systems may process standard technical data, including IP address, browser and device information, requested pages, timestamps, referring page and security events. This is generally used to deliver the site, prevent abuse and diagnose faults.

  • Contact and correspondence details you provide.
  • Basic request, device and security logs.
  • Records of corrections, permissions or commercial enquiries.
  • No request for medical records, payment-card data or account passwords.
03 / PURPOSE03

Why information is used

We use information to answer enquiries, assess corrections, maintain site security, investigate technical problems, manage rights requests, keep appropriate editorial records and meet legal obligations.

Where applicable, processing is based on your request, our legitimate interests in running a secure and accurate publication, consent for optional communications, or a legal obligation. You may withdraw consent for future optional communications at any time.

04 / COOKIES & MEASUREMENT04

Cookies and similar technologies

We do not currently place our own behavioural advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. The hosting and security layer may use essential technologies or request information needed to serve pages safely and reliably.

If analytics, advertising or newsletter technology is added later, this policy and any consent controls will be updated before non-essential tracking is used where consent is required.

05 / AFFILIATE & EXTERNAL LINKS05

What happens when you leave the site

Product buttons may open Amazon or another retailer. Those companies receive information directly from your browser and apply their own privacy policies. An affiliate partner may record that a purchase followed a tagged link so commission can be attributed.

External medical, manufacturer and research sources also operate independently. Review their privacy choices before providing personal information or making a purchase.

06 / SHARING & RETENTION06

Limited service-provider sharing

Information may be shared with providers that host, secure or support the website and email service; professional advisers where reasonably necessary; or authorities where law requires it. We do not sell personal information in the ordinary meaning of exchanging it for money.

We keep correspondence only as long as needed for the enquiry, editorial record, legal requirement or dispute. Security logs are retained according to the relevant provider's operational schedules. We remove or anonymise information when it is no longer reasonably needed.

07 / YOUR CHOICES07

Access, correction and deletion requests

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to ask what personal information is held, correct it, request deletion or restriction, object to certain processing, withdraw consent, or receive a portable copy. Some rights have legal exceptions.

Email [email protected] with ‘Privacy request’ in the subject. We may need proportionate information to verify the request. You may also complain to the data-protection authority in your country.

08 / CHILDREN & CHANGES08

Children and policy updates

The site is written for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly seek personal information from children. A parent or guardian can contact us if they believe a child has provided information.

We may update this policy when services or legal requirements change. The date at the top identifies the current version; material changes will be explained clearly rather than hidden behind a date change.
