Privacy Policy — Manx One
Last updated: May 17, 2026
Welcome to Manx One (com.manxone.app). This Privacy Policy explains
how the Manx One app collects, uses, and protects information when you use the app.
Quick summary: Manx One is free to use and respects your privacy.
We don't collect personal information. We use anonymous analytics to improve the app.
Your bookmarks are stored only on your device.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Information We Do NOT Collect
- We do not collect your name, email address, or phone number
- We do not require account registration
- We do not collect your precise location
- We do not access your contacts, photos, or files
- We do not sell any data to third parties
- We do not show advertisements
1.2 Anonymous Usage Data (via Firebase Analytics)
We use Firebase Analytics (provided by Google) to understand how the app is used,
which helps us improve features. This data is anonymous and aggregated:
- App version and device type (e.g., "Android 14, Pixel 8")
- Country/region (e.g., "United Kingdom")
- Which app features you use (e.g., "viewed jobs screen")
- App session duration
- App open events
This data cannot be used to identify you personally.
1.3 Crash Reports (via Firebase Crashlytics)
If the app crashes, we collect anonymous crash data to fix bugs:
- Type of crash and stack trace
- Device model and Android/iOS version
- App version
- Anonymized device identifier (not linked to you)
1.4 Push Notifications (via Firebase Cloud Messaging)
With your permission, we send occasional push notifications (e.g., new job alerts,
important Isle of Man updates). To do this:
- Your device receives a unique anonymous token from Firebase
- This token is used only to deliver notifications to your device
- You can disable notifications anytime in your device settings
- We do not link this token to your identity
1.5 Data Stored Only on Your Device
The following information is stored locally on your device and never sent to us:
- Bookmarks (saved jobs)
- App preferences (theme, etc.)
2. Third-Party Services
Manx One displays content from public Isle of Man sources. When you use certain features, you may connect to:
- services.gov.im — for job listings
- jobtrain.co.uk — for government jobs
- airport.im — for flight information
- steam-packet.com — for ferry sailings
- whatsoniom.im — for events
- findmybus.im — for bus tracking
- gov.im — for weather and webcams
- Manx Radio, 3FM, Energy FM, etc. — for radio streams

Each of these has its own privacy policy. Manx One only displays publicly available
data from these sources — we don't share your information with them.
We also use these Google services:
- Firebase Analytics — anonymous usage stats. Google Privacy Policy
- Firebase Crashlytics — crash reports

3. Permissions We Request
The app may ask for these Android/iOS permissions:

- Foreground service — to keep radio playing in the background
- Wake lock — to keep your device awake while playing radio
Tapping a phone number or email in the app opens your device's dialer or email
app — we don't make calls or send emails directly.
4. Data Storage and Security
- Bookmarks and preferences are stored locally on your device
- No personal data is transmitted to our servers
- Firebase data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS)
