Last updated: October 21, 2026

Information We Collect

Freemania collects information you provide directly, such as your email address when you subscribe to our newsletter or sign up for notifications. We also collect certain information automatically when you visit our site.

Information You Provide

Newsletter subscriptions: Email address, optional city preference
Push notifications: Browser subscription endpoint (no personal data)
Contact forms: Name, email, and message content
Freebie submissions: Freebie details you share with us

Information Collected Automatically

We use a privacy-focused analytics tool (Umami) that does not use cookies and does not track individuals across websites.

How We Use Your Information

Send you the freebies newsletter you subscribed to
Notify you about new freebies via push notifications (if enabled)
Respond to your messages and submissions
Improve our site based on aggregate usage patterns
Prevent spam and abuse

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it with third parties except as required to operate our services (email delivery via Resend, notification delivery via browser APIs).

Email Communications

When you subscribe to our newsletter, you'll receive emails about freebies, deals, and occasional updates. Every email includes an unsubscribe link.

We send emails through Resend. Our domain is properly configured with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC to ensure legitimate delivery and protect against spoofing.

Cookies

Freemania uses minimal cookies. Our analytics (Umami) is cookieless. We may use essential cookies for site functionality, but we do not use tracking cookies or third-party advertising cookies.

Data Retention

Newsletter subscriptions: Until you unsubscribe
Push subscriptions: Until you unsubscribe via browser settings
Contact messages: 2 years for support reference
Analytics data: Aggregated, no individual tracking

Your Rights

You have the right to:

Unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time (link in every email)
Request deletion of your data
Request a copy of data we hold about you
Opt out of analytics (use a privacy browser or extension)

To exercise these rights, contact us at chelsea@freemania.net.

California Residents (CCPA)

California residents have additional rights under the CCPA. We do not sell personal information. You may request disclosure of information collected about you and request deletion by emailing us.

Children's Privacy

Freemania is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected such information, we will delete it.

Freemania connects to Pinterest only to publish pins of its own freebie listings to the Freemania Pinterest account. That connection is authorized by Freemania for its own account; the access tokens are stored securely on our server and used for nothing else.

We don't collect, store, or share data about Pinterest users. Visitors aren't asked to sign in with Pinterest, and we don't read anyone's boards, pins, or profile. When you visit or save a Freemania pin, Pinterest's own privacy policy applies.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects when changes were made. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
