Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 29, 2026

​

Welcome to The Sensory Score ("we," "our," or "us"). We are dedicated to providing a platform where travelers can share and discover sensory-focused reviews of hotels by evaluating noise levels, scents, textures, lighting, and staff interactions.

 

We respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding data collection and how we protect your anonymity while you use our site.

​

1. Minimal Personal Data Collection and Privacy First

We operate under a privacy-first approach to keep reviewing simple and safe:

  • Email Addresses (Verification Only): We request your email address when you submit a review solely for verification purposes and spam protection. Your email address is strictly internal—it is never displayed publicly on the website, shared, sold, or used for marketing communications.

  • No Public Names or Profiles: We do not require or publicly display your real name or personal identity alongside your reviews.

  • No User Accounts Required: You do not need to register, log in, or create a member account to browse or submit reviews on The Sensory Score.

​

2. Information We Collect

A. Review Submissions

When you leave a review for a hotel (scoring noise, scent, texture, lighting, or staff interaction), the numerical scores, written text, and any uploaded photos you provide are made publicly available on our website.

  • Note: Please do not include any personal information (such as face close-ups showing personally identifiable details or personal documents, your full name, or specific personal details) within the open text areas of your review submissions.

B. Technical and Anonymous Usage Data

Like most websites, our web servers automatically collect basic, non-identifying technical data to ensure our site runs smoothly and securely. This may include:

  • Standard server logs (e.g., browser type, operating system, preferred language, referring site, and the date/time of visitor requests).

  • Anonymized or truncated IP addresses used solely for security, spam prevention, and rate-limiting (preventing automated bots from submitting fake reviews).

​

3. Cookies and Tracking

  • Essential Cookies: We may use essential cookies or local storage strictly necessary for the technical operation of the website (for example, remembering your search filters or preventing duplicate review submissions during a session).

  • Third-Party Analytics: If we use basic web analytics tools to monitor site traffic and performance, we configure them to anonymize user data and exclude personal tracking.

  • No Cross-Site Tracking: We do not track your activity across other third-party websites or sell user browsing data to advertisers.

​

4. How We Use Non-Personal Information

Any non-personal data collected is used solely to:

  • Display sensory hotel reviews to the public.

  • Prevent fraudulent activity, spam, or abuse of the review submission process.

  • Maintain, optimize, and improve the functionality and performance of the website.

​

5. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We do not sell, rent, trade, or monetize any user data. We do not share any information with third parties except:

  • Service Providers: Trusted technical service providers (such as our website platform and database provider, Wix.com, as well as security services) who help keep the website online and secure, under strict confidentiality obligations.

  • Legal Requirements: If required by law, subpoena, or legal process to protect the rights, property, or safety of our website and users.

​

6. External Links

The Sensory Score may contain links to external third-party websites (such as hotel booking sites or official hotel pages).We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those external websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any site you visit.

​

7. Children's Privacy

Our website is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children.

​

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our website features or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Effective Date."
