The Perfume Notebook

Privacy policy

The Perfume Notebook uses account information to sign you in and stores the content you save in your private notebook.

Google sign-in

If you choose Google sign-in, we request the openid and email permissions. We use your Google account ID, email address and email verification status to verify your identity and check whether your address is approved. We may also check your Google Workspace domain when Google provides it.

We exchange the sign-in code with Google and use the returned identity token to verify you during that request. We store your Google account ID with your email address in the notebook database so you can open the same account on future visits. Notebook administrators can see registered email addresses and access status.

Sessions and notebook data

The site uses a secure sign-in cookie for a session lasting up to 30 days. Signing out ends the current session. Your account and notebook data remain stored. Your browser may also keep your language and appearance preferences.

When you request an email sign-in link, Brevo delivers it to your address. If you use chat, other content translation or transcription, we send the content needed for that request to the configured service provider. A chat request can include context from your current project. Conversation translation runs on your device or on the notebook server without sending the text to an external AI provider for translation.

The notebook server reads chat attachments and saves the filename and a limited excerpt or image description. Relevant excerpts may be shared with the chat provider when you request a reply. The temporary original is removed after processing. Saved excerpts are removed when you delete the message or project.

Your account choices

You can use an email sign-in link or manage the notebook’s connection in your Google Account settings. Contact the notebook administrator who approved your access with questions about your data or to request account deletion.
