Midweek Manchester · Last updated: 11 August 2026
Midweek Manchester ("the app", "we", "us") helps people in Manchester find midweek food and drink deals at local restaurants and bars. This policy explains what information we collect, why, and how it's used. We've tried to keep it plain and specific to what the app actually does, rather than generic legal boilerplate.
Location. If you choose to use the "Deals near me" feature, the app requests access to your device's location to show nearby deals and center the map. Location is used only while the app is open and only for this purpose. You can decline this permission and still use the app by browsing deals manually instead.
Pseudonymous usage data. To understand which deals are useful to people, and to give participating restaurants meaningful information about interest in their listings, the app records interaction events — for example, when a deal is opened or saved. These events are associated with a randomly generated device identifier, which allows us to distinguish app installations and calculate aggregate usage statistics. This identifier is not directly linked to your name, email address or an account, as the app does not currently require sign-up or login.
Saved deals. Your list of saved deals is stored locally on your device and is not synchronised with our servers. However, when you save a deal, the app may record a separate pseudonymous usage event for analytics purposes. This does not send your saved-deals list to us.
We do not collect: your name, email address, phone number, contacts or photos. The app does not currently require an account or sign-up, and we do not ask you to provide information that directly identifies you.
We use Supabase as our backend database provider to store deal listings and anonymous usage events. Supabase processes this data on our behalf and does not have independent rights to use it. We do not sell, rent, or share your information with advertisers or data brokers, and the app does not currently display third-party ads.
Pseudonymous usage events are retained for as long as necessary to analyse app usage, monitor trends and improve the service. We periodically review the data we hold and may delete or aggregate older records when they are no longer needed.
This app is not directed at children and is rated for users aged 13 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
There is no personal profile tied to you that we hold. As usage events are associated with randomly generated device identifiers rather than personal accounts, we cannot directly associate analytics records with an individual's identity. If you submit a data deletion request, we will consider what information we can reasonably identify and delete. In some circumstances, we may be unable to locate individual records without an associated device identifier. If you have questions about location permissions or how anonymous data is used, contact us using the details below and we'll do our best to help.
