Quiet Xiang is a content-first site about Chinese incense, materials, smoke-aware use, and quiet daily rituals. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through the site and how we use it.
Information you choose to share
If you join Field Notes, we may collect your email address and the optional preferences you submit, such as your interest in incense, scent direction, and any note you write in the form.
Please do not submit sensitive health, financial, identification, or private personal information through the form. Quiet Xiang is not designed to collect that kind of information.
How we use your information
- To send Quiet Xiang field notes, beginner guides, scent notes, safety-aware updates, and first-kit development notes.
- To understand what readers are interested in before any product decision is locked.
- To improve the site, article paths, and future product education.
- To respond if you ask a question or request a change related to your email subscription.
Email and unsubscribe
If you join Field Notes, you agree to receive occasional email updates from Quiet Xiang. You can unsubscribe at any time through the unsubscribe link in an email or by contacting the address published for Quiet Xiang.
Form providers and analytics
This site may use a form provider, such as Netlify Forms or another email/form service, to process submissions. That provider may process form data according to its own terms and privacy practices.
Quiet Xiang may also use privacy-conscious analytics or standard analytics tools to understand page visits, referral sources, popular articles, and waitlist conversion. Analytics should be used to improve the site, not to make medical, identity, or sensitive personal inferences.
Cookies and similar technologies
The current site may use basic technologies needed for forms, analytics, security, and site performance. If advertising pixels, advanced tracking, or Shopify commerce tools are added later, this policy should be updated before those tools are used.
Sharing and selling
Quiet Xiang does not sell personal information. We may share limited information with service providers that help operate forms, analytics, email delivery, hosting, or future commerce, only for those operational purposes.
Data retention
We keep Field Notes information only as long as it is useful for the purposes described above, unless a longer period is needed for legal, security, or operational reasons. Early-stage waitlist data may also be exported and reviewed manually by the Quiet Xiang team.
Your choices
You may ask to unsubscribe, correct, or delete the email information you submitted. Depending on where you live, you may have additional privacy rights under local law. Quiet Xiang will handle reasonable privacy requests in good faith.
Children
Quiet Xiang is written for adults interested in home fragrance, Chinese incense, materials, and quiet rituals. It is not directed to children.
International visitors
Quiet Xiang is an English-language site that may be visited from different countries. If you submit information, it may be processed in the country where the site, hosting provider, form provider, or email tool operates.
Security
No website or online form can guarantee perfect security. Quiet Xiang aims to use reputable hosting, form, and email tools and to avoid collecting information we do not need.
Changes
This policy may be updated as Quiet Xiang moves from a content site to a future Shopify-connected shop. The updated date at the top of the page will show when the policy last changed.
