Scent Senpai is a fragrance recommendation quiz operated by Myrmidon Digital. This page describes exactly what the app collects, what it sends elsewhere, and what it does not do. It is written against the app's actual source code rather than from a template.
The short version. You can take the whole quiz without an account, and if you do, we store nothing about you — your saved fragrances stay in your own browser. An account is optional and exists only to sync those saved fragrances between devices. There is no advertising, no analytics, and no tracking of any kind in this app.
This is the default. No account is required and none is created.
When you finish the seven questions, your answers — preference selections such as an occasion, an intensity or a budget band — are sent to our own server function, which passes them to Groq to generate the recommendation with the Llama 3.3 70B model. The request contains your preference selections and nothing else: no name, no email address, no account identifier, no device identifier. We do not store the answers or the recommendation on our side.
To illustrate the result, the recommended fragrance's brand, name and concentration — plain product text, no personal data — are sent to Serper.dev to search for a product photo.
Saved fragrances are written to your browser's local storage under
scentsenpai_favorites, holding only the fragrance name, brand,
price range and the time you saved it. While you are signed out this never
leaves your device, and we cannot see it. Clearing your browser data — or
uninstalling the Android app — removes it.
An account is entirely optional. Its only purpose is to carry your saved fragrances between devices. Accounts are handled by Netlify Identity, and we hold:
That is the complete list. We do not build a profile, we do not sell or rent any of it, we do not share it for advertising, and we do not send marketing email. Signing in stores a session token in your browser's local storage so you stay signed in.
Signing in merges your device's saved fragrances into the account. If you sign in on a shared or borrowed device, anything saved locally on it is added to your account. Sign out, or clear the site data, before handing the device on.
| Service | What it receives | When |
|---|---|---|
| Groq | Your quiz answers. No personal or account data. | When you complete the quiz |
| Serper.dev | A fragrance brand, name and concentration. No personal data. | When a result is shown |
| Netlify | Hosting and accounts. As with any web host, its server logs see your IP address and browser user-agent. | Every visit |
| Google Fonts | Your IP address and browser user-agent, because the app's typefaces are loaded from Google's font servers. | Every visit, including this page |
| Pollinations.ai | Your IP address and the name of the image requested. Almost all imagery is bundled with the app; this is only reached if a specific note or quiz image is missing from that bundle. | Rarely |
| Retailers | Nothing from us. Tapping a purchase link opens a search on a retailer's own site (FragranceX by default), which then applies its own privacy policy. No affiliate or tracking identifier is attached to that link. | Only if you tap it |
These are properties of the code, not promises about intent — the app contains no analytics, advertising or crash-reporting libraries. If that ever changes, this page changes with it in the same release.
Quiz answers are not retained, so there is nothing to expire. Account data is kept until you ask us to delete it, which you can do at any time and for any reason.
Scent Senpai is intended for adults and is listed for an 18-and-over audience. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.
If what the app collects changes, this page is updated in the same release and the date at the top moves. Material changes will also be noted in the app's changelog.
