Legal information
Privacy Policy
How MAN Savings collects, uses, shares and protects your personal information.
1. Who we are
MAN Savings is operated by Casual Media Limited (company number 11754419), trading as MAN Savings. We are the controller of personal information described in this notice, except where another organisation acts as a separate controller (for example Apple or Google in relation to its own account and payment services).
Our registered office is Charlton House, 32 High Street, Cullompton, United Kingdom, EX15 1AE. VAT registration number: GB312538721. Contact us at info@mansavings.co.uk for privacy questions or to exercise your data protection rights.
2. Scope of this policy
This Privacy Policy applies to the MAN Savings mobile application, the MAN Savings website at mansavings.co.uk, and related customer-support and communications services. A separate cookie notice may apply to the website as its technology changes. External retailers and other linked websites have their own privacy practices.
3. Information we collect
Account information: email address, name where provided, a unique account identifier, authentication provider and account status. If you sign in using Apple or Google, we receive the details you authorise that provider to share; an Apple private relay email may be used instead of your personal email address.
App activity and preferences: saved deals, notification preferences and technical information needed to provide and secure the service. Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) handles notification tokens at device level; MAN Savings does not store these tokens against an identifiable customer account in its Firestore user database. A device may continue to receive general notifications after an account is deleted, depending on the device and app notification settings.
VIP subscriptions: membership and trial status, entitlement and renewal information, associated app-account identifier, registered name and email address, subscription product, transaction history and store platform. RevenueCat links the subscription to your MAN Savings Firebase account ID and maintains historical customer and transaction records independently of the app account. Apple or Google handles store billing; we do not receive your full payment-card information.
Communications: your separate marketing consent choice, email delivery or suppression records, and customer support messages. If you subscribe to marketing, we may record interaction information provided by our email platform.
Website and technical records: IP address and device or browser information may be processed by hosting and security systems. The app currently does not use Firebase Analytics or Firebase Crashlytics. Standard operational app and Cloud Function logs are generated. We also store push notification history in Firestore, including the notification content, intended audience, time sent and aggregated open count. These notification history records do not identify individual recipients and currently have no custom expiry date.
4. Why we use data and our lawful bases
To create and maintain accounts, save favourites, deliver the service and administer VIP entitlements: performance of our contract with you.
To provide chosen app notifications and operational or security messages: performance of our contract and/or our legitimate interests in providing a reliable service; device-level notification permission can be withdrawn in your device settings.
To process subscriptions, handle support enquiries and resolve payment/access issues: performance of our contract and, where relevant, our legitimate interests in preventing errors and fraud.
To send optional promotional emails: your consent where required. Refusing marketing consent does not prevent use of the free app or VIP membership. You may withdraw marketing consent at any time using the unsubscribe link or by contacting us.
To protect accounts, detect misuse, maintain records and comply with applicable law: legitimate interests and/or legal obligation, as appropriate. Our legitimate interests include securing the service, responding to customers and understanding basic service performance.
5. Third-party service providers
The app uses Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Functions and Firebase Cloud Messaging for accounts, app data, operational functions and notifications; RevenueCat for subscription administration and subscriber identification; Apple App Store and Google Play for subscription purchases; and Brevo for optional marketing emails. Where a separate service email process is enabled, essential account or membership messages may be sent independently of marketing consent. We do not currently use Firebase Analytics or Firebase Crashlytics. Third-party retailers and affiliate networks may process information when you follow their links. Additional website tools will be identified when the new website is implemented.
We share only information reasonably needed for each purpose. Apple, Google and external retailers may process information under their own privacy notices.
6. Affiliate links and retailers
MAN Savings displays links to third-party retailers and may earn commission from qualifying purchases. Following a retailer or affiliate link can involve tracking by the retailer or affiliate network, which may act independently. We do not control the checkout data collected by those retailers. Relevant advertising disclosures will appear alongside affiliate links.
7. International transfers
Some providers may store or access personal information outside the UK. Where UK data protection law requires safeguards, we rely on appropriate mechanisms such as UK adequacy regulations or approved contractual protections. Details of relevant provider arrangements can be requested at info@mansavings.co.uk.
8. How long we keep information
Account records: we normally retain your Firebase Authentication account and associated Firestore profile while your account is active. When you delete your MAN Savings account, the app deletes the Firebase Authentication account and complete associated Firestore user profile, including saved deals and stored membership status. The deletion process signs you out of your RevenueCat identity, but does not automatically remove RevenueCat historical subscription and transaction records. If you want us to assess erasure of those remaining records, contact info@mansavings.co.uk; any deletion is subject to applicable law and provider requirements. Deleting your app account does not cancel an Apple or Google subscription.
Other information: optional marketing records are kept while needed to honour your preferences, including limited suppression records after unsubscribing. RevenueCat historical subscription records are retained separately until deleted under an applicable request or in line with relevant contractual, accounting and legal requirements; we do not claim a single fixed retention period for those records. Standard operational and Cloud Function logs are subject to the hosting provider’s applicable retention settings. Push-notification history records in Firestore currently have no custom automatic expiry and are retained for operational reporting until reviewed or deleted. No custom Firestore backup schedule or retention policy is configured; any provider-managed backups or residual copies follow the provider’s applicable retention process. We regularly review retention needs and respond to applicable erasure requests.
9. Your choices and rights
You may request access to, correction of or deletion of your personal information, and in applicable circumstances object to processing, request restriction or portability, or withdraw consent. These rights are subject to legal exceptions. To make a request, contact info@mansavings.co.uk. We may take reasonable steps to verify your identity.
You can manage optional marketing emails using unsubscribe links, and notifications through app and device settings. Account deletion is available through the app and removes the Firebase account and linked Firestore profile, but may not stop device-level general notifications; disable notifications in your device or app settings if desired. Account deletion does not cancel an Apple or Google subscription. For RevenueCat-related erasure requests, please contact info@mansavings.co.uk so we can assess and process the separate record-deletion request subject to applicable legal exceptions.
If you are unhappy with our response, you may complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk.
10. Children and security
MAN Savings is not intended for children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child under 13 has provided information, contact info@mansavings.co.uk so we can investigate and take appropriate action. Separate app-store or payment account eligibility rules may apply to VIP subscriptions.
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information, including access controls and service-provider protections, but no online system is completely risk-free.
