Privacy Policy

Red Sea Pulse (“Red Sea Pulse”, “we”, “us”) operates the Red Sea Pulse progressive web app and website at redseapulse.app (the “Service”). This policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. By using the Service you agree to this policy.

Information we collect

Approximate location. With your permission, your device shares an approximate location so the app can show the right city’s deals. We use it in the moment to pick your city; we do not continuously track you, and we do not store your precise coordinates on our servers. Your chosen city is saved on your device.

Account details. If you create an account, we store your email address and an encrypted password through our authentication provider. Businesses additionally provide the business name and contact details (phone, email, address, website, social links) they choose to publish on their deals.

Preferences. Interests, language, and saved deals you select are stored on your device (and linked to your account where relevant).

Notifications. If you turn on alerts, we store a push subscription for your device together with your city and language so we can send the notifications you opted into. You can turn this off at any time in your browser or device settings.

Usage. We record aggregate interactions such as deal views, taps and “interested” counts to improve the app and to give businesses basic performance stats. We do not build advertising profiles.

How we use information

To show you relevant local deals and conditions, personalise your experience, send the alerts you opt into, operate and secure the Service, provide businesses with analytics for their own listings, and prevent fraud or abuse.

Service providers

We rely on trusted providers who process data only to run the Service: Supabase (database and authentication), Vercel (hosting), Resend (transactional email), Firecrawl (collecting publicly available business information), Open-Meteo (weather and sea conditions), Viator (excursion listings and bookings, if you choose to book a tour), and Paymob (card payments, once enabled). We do not sell your personal data.

Cookies and local storage

We use your browser’s local storage to remember preferences such as your city, language, interests and saved deals. We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies.

Your choices and rights

You can update your interests and city in the app, turn notifications and location off at any time, and request access to or deletion of your account data by contacting us. We keep personal data only as long as needed to provide the Service or as required by law.

Children

The Service is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

International transfers

Our providers may process data in regions outside Egypt. Where they do, they apply appropriate safeguards for the transfer.

Changes

We may update this policy as the Service evolves. We will revise the “last updated” date above and, for material changes, give notice in the app.
