1. Who we are

Referral Robin is operated by a UK sole trader trading as Referral Robin, based in the United Kingdom. If you have questions about this policy or your data, contact us at discountedbrands@gmail.com.

2. Information we collect

Account information — When you sign up, we collect your email address and authentication details via our authentication provider (Clerk). If you sign up using Google, we receive basic profile information (name, email) from Google. Referral codes you submit — If you submit a referral code to the platform, we store the code text, which brand/organisation it's for, and its status (active, reported, removed). Usage data — We record how many times a code has been shown to other users (timesServed) and how many times it's been copied (timesCopied), along with timestamps, so we can operate the fair-rotation queue system and detect misuse. Device identifier — We generate a random, persistent device identifier stored locally on your device. This is used solely to enforce the 10-minute cooldown between code reveals per brand, and is not linked to your real-world identity beyond your account. Payment information — If you purchase a premium subscription or code boost, payment is processed entirely by Google Play Billing. We do not receive or store your card details — Google handles this in accordance with their own privacy policy.

3. How we use your information

To operate the referral code rotation and cooldown system fairly; to let you view and edit codes you've submitted, and see your usage statistics; to detect and remove dead, fraudulent, or abusive codes; to manage premium subscriptions and weighted rotation; to display sponsored content, where applicable; to communicate with you about your account, if necessary.

4. What we don't do

We do not currently sell your personal data to third parties. If this changes in the future, we will update this policy and, where required by law, seek your consent before doing so. We do not publicly display your submitted referral codes as a browsable list — codes are only ever shown one at a time through the app's rotation system. We do not track you across other apps or websites.

5. Advertising

Referral Robin may display sponsored placements from brands or businesses relevant to a given category. These are managed directly by us, not through third-party ad networks, unless stated otherwise in a future update to this policy.

6. Data sharing

We may share limited information with: Clerk (our authentication provider), to manage sign-in and account security; Google Play, for billing and subscription management; law enforcement or regulators, only where legally required.

7. Data retention

We retain your account and code data for as long as your account remains active. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal data within 30 days, except where retention is required for legal or fraud-prevention purposes.

8. Your rights

If you are in the UK or EU, you have rights under GDPR/UK GDPR including the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data, and to object to certain processing. Contact us at discountedbrands@gmail.com to exercise these rights.

9. Children's privacy

Referral Robin is not intended for use by children under 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children under this age.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected with an updated "Last updated" date at the top of this document.
