Privacy Policy: Pie & Mash

Last Updated: 14 March 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Pie & Mash. We are committed to protecting your privacy while you explore the best pie, mash, and liquor across the UK. This policy explains how we handle your data.

2. Data We Collect

We only collect the information necessary to provide you with a great experience:

• Account Information: If you create an account, we collect your email address and a chosen username.
• Check-in Data: When you visit a shop, the app records the shop location and time.
• Usage Data: Basic technical information (e.g., device type, app version) to help us fix bugs and improve performance.

3. How We Use Your Data

• Emails: Your email is used strictly for account management (e.g., password resets) and essential app updates. We do not sell, rent, or share your email address with third parties or advertisers.
• Check-ins: These are used to show community activity and help you track your “pie progress.”

4. Anonymity and Control

We believe you should control how you appear in the community:

• Username Visibility: By default, check-ins are displayed under your chosen username.
• Anonymous Mode: You can toggle “Anonymous Check-ins” in your User Settings. When enabled, your visits will contribute to shop statistics without revealing your identity to other users.
• Open Source Transparency: We believe in community-driven tech. Where we utilize open-source players or libraries, we ensure they adhere to our high standards of data integrity.

5. Location Services

To help you find the nearest shop, the app may request access to your device’s GPS. You can enable or disable this at any time in your phone’s system settings.

6. Data Retention and Deletion

We keep your data for as long as your account is active. If you wish to delete your account and all associated data, you can do so directly within the app settings.

7. Contact Us

If you have any questions about this policy or your data, please reach out via the Feedback option on the app Home screen.
