Privacy

1. Who we are

SponsorMyWorld is operated by View 6 Ltd (company number 07814960), registered in England and Wales.

Registered office: The Media Lodge, 3 The Esplanade, Telscombe Cliffs, East Sussex, BN10 7HG, United Kingdom.

Privacy contact: support@sponsormy.world

View 6 Ltd is the controller of personal information it determines how and why to process through SponsorMyWorld. Where another user or organisation independently uses personal information obtained through a sponsorship arrangement, that party may have separate data protection responsibilities.

2. Scope of this policy

This policy explains how we collect, use, share, retain and protect personal information when you use the SponsorMyWorld app and associated services. It also explains your rights under applicable UK data protection law.

The Platform is intended for people aged 18 or over. We do not knowingly permit children to register. Sponsorship listings may relate to youth activities, but users should not upload children's identifiable personal information or photographs without an appropriate lawful basis and necessary permissions.

3. Information we collect

Depending on how you use SponsorMyWorld, we may process:

• Account information: email address, name, display name, account identifiers, registration and verification details, account settings and acceptance records.
• Profile and organisation information: profile images, organisation names, descriptions, contact and membership details, roles and permissions.
• Listings and uploaded content: sponsorship opportunities, descriptions, categories, images, locations, requested amounts and other information you provide.
• Communications and agreements: messages, offers, Deal terms, acceptance details, timestamps and records relevant to agreements made through the Platform.
• Usage and technical information: app events, device and app information, diagnostic data, security logs, approximate location inferred from network information, and identifiers used by analytics or notification services, where applicable.
• Location information: location details you enter in listings and, if you grant device permission, location data used to support location-based discovery features.
• Subscription information: subscription plan, entitlement status and purchase-related identifiers or notifications received from Apple or services used to validate entitlements. Apple handles App Store billing; we do not need your full payment card details to provide subscriptions.
• Support and moderation information: enquiries, complaints, reports, account restrictions and related correspondence.

We ask you not to submit sensitive personal information unless it is genuinely necessary and lawful to do so.

4. How and why we use information

We process personal information for the following purposes and lawful bases, as applicable:

• Provide accounts and Platform features (including authentication, profiles, organisation membership, listings, saved opportunities, messages, offers and Deals): generally necessary to perform our contract with you.
• Administer subscriptions and entitlements: generally necessary to perform our contract with you and meet applicable legal obligations.
• Protect accounts and the Platform, investigate suspected fraud, enforce our rules and moderate content: our legitimate interests in operating a secure, trustworthy service, and legal obligations where applicable.
• Provide customer support and respond to enquiries: performance of our contract or our legitimate interests in responding to requests.
• Improve performance and understand app usage: our legitimate interests where appropriate, or consent where required for particular analytics technologies or device permissions.
• Provide location-based features: performance of our contract or legitimate interests as applicable; device-level access to location is subject to your permission. You can withdraw that permission through your device settings.
• Send service communications, including verification, security, account and Deal-related notifications: performance of our contract or our legitimate interests.
• Send optional marketing communications: consent where required, or another lawful basis where permitted. You can opt out of marketing at any time.
• Comply with law and manage disputes: compliance with legal obligations and, where relevant, our legitimate interests in establishing, exercising or defending legal claims.

Where consent is the lawful basis, you can withdraw it at any time without affecting processing already carried out lawfully. Device permissions are not necessarily the same as UK GDPR consent.

5. Public listings and communications

Information you publish in listings or organisation profiles may be visible to other users and, depending on the feature, to people who are not signed in. Avoid including private contact details or other personal information that you do not wish to share.

Messages, offers and Deals are intended to be accessible to their relevant participants and to authorised personnel where reasonably necessary for support, safety, security or legal compliance. We do not treat private messages as public listings.

When you enter a Deal, the other party may retain its own records of the agreement and related communications. Deleting your account will not necessarily remove copies lawfully retained by the other party.

6. Providers and disclosures

We use service providers to help operate SponsorMyWorld, including:

• Supabase for authentication, databases and related backend services.
• Google Firebase for app analytics, push-notification infrastructure and related services where enabled.
• Apple for App Store distribution, subscription billing and purchase management.

We may share relevant information with these providers to deliver their services, under appropriate contractual and technical safeguards where required.

We may also disclose information to professional advisers, regulators, law-enforcement bodies or other recipients where lawfully required or necessary to protect rights and safety. If our business is reorganised or transferred, relevant data may be transferred subject to applicable legal requirements.

We do not sell your personal information to advertisers.

7. Analytics and notifications

We may use Firebase Analytics to understand how the app is used and diagnose problems. The information collected depends on our configuration, your device settings and any applicable choices or permissions. We will provide any notices or choices required for analytics technologies before enabling them where required.

If you enable push notifications, your device may receive account, message, Deal or service notifications. You can control notification permissions in your device settings. Some essential account communications may still be sent by email.

8. Location data

Location details that you enter for a listing may be displayed with that listing. Where the app requests access to your device location, it will be used to provide relevant location-based features, subject to the permission you grant.

You can disable device location permission at any time. Some location-based features may then be unavailable or less accurate.

9. International transfers

Our service providers may process or access personal information outside the United Kingdom. Where UK data protection law requires safeguards for international transfers, we will use an appropriate lawful transfer mechanism, such as adequacy regulations or approved contractual safeguards, as applicable.

The specific locations and safeguards depend on the providers and service configurations in use.

10. How long we keep information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including operating accounts, providing the Platform, complying with legal obligations, addressing disputes and protecting the service.

Retention depends on the category of information. For example, account and profile information is ordinarily needed while your account is active; Deal and transaction-related records may need to be kept longer where required for legal claims, accounting or compliance; and security logs may be retained for shorter periods.

We will establish and apply appropriate retention periods and deletion or anonymisation processes for each category of data. Backups may take additional time to expire securely.

11. Account deletion and erasure requests

You can request deletion of your SponsorMyWorld account directly through the Delete Account option within the app.

If your account is not associated with any organisations and meets the requirements for automatic deletion, you can complete the deletion process directly in the app, subject to any lawful retention requirements.

If your account is associated with one or more organisations, automatic deletion may not be available because of existing organisation responsibilities, listings, sponsorship Offers or Deals.

In these circumstances, you can submit an account deletion request within the app. We record the request, including its submission date and the reasons manual review is required. Our team will review the request and arrange for your account to be closed and your personal information deleted or anonymised where appropriate.

We may need to verify your identity or contact you to resolve outstanding organisation responsibilities before completing deletion.

We will respond to requests without undue delay and generally within one calendar month, subject to any applicable extensions or exceptions under UK data protection law.

Certain information may need to be retained to comply with legal obligations, prevent fraud, resolve disputes, or establish, exercise or defend legal claims. This may include records relating to existing sponsorship Deals.

You can also contact us at support@sponsormy.world regarding account deletion or your data protection rights.

Deleting your SponsorMyWorld account does not automatically cancel an Apple-managed subscription. You must manage cancellation separately through your Apple Account subscriptions.

12. Your data protection rights

Subject to applicable conditions and exceptions, you may have the right to:

• Request access to your personal information.
• Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Request erasure of personal information.
• Request restriction of certain processing.
• Object to processing based on legitimate interests, including direct marketing.
• Request portability of certain information.
• Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent.
• Challenge qualifying solely automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects, if any are used.

To exercise your rights, email support@sponsormy.world. We normally respond to valid requests within one calendar month, subject to lawful extensions and exceptions.

You may complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at https://ico.org.uk/. We would appreciate the opportunity to address your concern first.

13. Security

We use appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal information, including access controls and safeguards provided by our hosting and authentication services. No internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.

Please keep your account access secure and contact us promptly if you suspect unauthorised access.

14. External links and third parties

Listings or messages may contain links to third-party websites or services. Their privacy practices are governed by their own notices. We are not responsible for their independent processing activities.

15. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as SponsorMyWorld develops or legal requirements change. The current version and effective date will be displayed in the Platform. Where changes are material, we will provide appropriate notice and obtain any consent required by law.
