Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Megafone is built on the idea that fans deserve to be heard. That means we take the privacy of your personal information seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we handle it when you use megafone.app (“the Platform”).

By using Megafone, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

We collect two types of information:

Information you provide

• Email address — collected when you register for an account
• Display name — the name you choose to use on the Platform
• Campaign content — any campaigns, questions, comments, or updates you create

Information collected automatically

• Usage data — pages visited, actions taken (e.g. supporting a campaign), and general interaction patterns
• Technical data — browser type, device type, and IP address, collected to keep the Platform secure and running well

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Create and manage your account
• Display your campaigns and activity on the Platform
• Send you email notifications — for example, when a campaign you support reaches its target, or when an organisation responds
• Send occasional product updates or announcements (you can opt out at any time)
• Detect abuse, spam, and content that violates our Terms of Service
• Improve the Platform based on how it is used

We will never sell your personal data. We do not use your information for advertising purposes.

4. Sharing of Information

We do not sell, trade, or share your personal information with third parties except in the following limited circumstances:

• Infrastructure providers — we use trusted third-party services to host the Platform and store data securely. These providers process data on our behalf and are bound by their own privacy and security commitments.
• Legal requirements — we may disclose information if required to do so by law, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Megafone, our users, or others.

Campaign content (headlines, questions, supporter counts) is visible to all visitors of the Platform. Your email address is never made public or shared with organisations.

5. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored on secure servers provided by our infrastructure partners. We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information from unauthorised access, disclosure, or loss.

No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we work hard to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you believe your account has been compromised, please contact us immediately.

We retain your data for as long as your account is active, or as reasonably necessary to operate the Platform. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal information within a reasonable timeframe, except where retention is required by law.

6. Cookies and Analytics

Megafone uses cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in and to understand how the Platform is used. We may use basic analytics tools to track aggregate usage patterns — for example, which pages are visited most frequently.

We do not use tracking cookies for advertising or cross-site profiling. You can configure your browser to block or delete cookies, though this may affect some functionality of the Platform.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access — request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
• Correction — ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information
• Deletion — request that we delete your account and associated personal data
• Opt out — unsubscribe from non-essential emails at any time using the link in any email we send

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@megafone.app. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the Platform grows or as legal requirements change. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we may also notify you by email. Continued use of Megafone after any update means you accept the revised policy.

9. Contact

If you have questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or how your data is handled, please get in touch at hello@megafone.app.
