Privacy Policy

    Last updated: March 22, 2026

    Overview

    Manifest ("we," "us," or "our") is a personal asset management platform. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you use our service. We are committed to safeguarding your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

    Information We Collect

    Account information: When you create an account, we collect your email address and display name. If you sign in with Google or Apple, we receive your name and email from those providers.

    Asset data: Information you provide about your belongings, including photos, receipts, serial numbers, purchase dates, prices, warranty details, and any documents you upload.

    Email forwarding: If you use our receipt forwarding feature, we process incoming emails sent to your unique Manifest address to extract product and purchase information. We store the extracted data and any attached images. We do not read or store the full email body beyond what is needed for extraction.

    Usage data: We collect basic usage information such as pages visited and features used to improve the service. We do not use third-party analytics trackers.

    How We Use Your Information

    We use your information solely to provide, maintain, and improve the Manifest service. Specifically:

    • To store and organize your asset catalog
    • To extract product details from photos, receipts, and emails using AI
    • To check your products against recall databases
    • To generate insurance reports and export documents
    • To calculate estimated resale values
    • To send you alerts about expiring warranties and return windows
    • To process your subscription and payments (via Stripe)

    AI Processing

    We use AI models to extract information from your photos, receipts, and documents. Image and text data is sent to our AI processing providers solely for the purpose of extraction. We do not use your data to train AI models. AI-processed data may contain inaccuracies — you should always verify extracted information.

    Data Storage & Security

    Your data is stored on secure, encrypted infrastructure. All data is encrypted in transit using TLS. Files and documents are stored in private, access-controlled storage buckets. We implement row-level security to ensure you can only access your own data. We regularly review our security practices.

    Data Sharing

    We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share data only with:

    • Stripe: For payment processing (email and subscription status only)
    • AI providers: For data extraction from your uploads (processed data only, not stored by them)
    • CPSC databases: Product identifiers only, to check for recalls (no personal information is shared)

    We will never sell your data or use it for advertising.

    Your Rights

    You have the right to:

    • Access all data associated with your account
    • Export your data at any time via the insurance export or individual asset downloads
    • Delete your account and all associated data permanently from the Settings page
    • Correct any inaccurate information by editing your assets

    Cookies & Local Storage

    We use essential cookies and local storage for authentication and remembering your preferences (such as dismissed onboarding cards). We do not use tracking cookies or third-party advertising cookies.

    Data Retention

    We retain your data for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, all associated data — including assets, documents, files, and profile information — is permanently deleted. We do not retain backups of deleted accounts.

    Children's Privacy

    Manifest is not intended for use by children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13, we will delete it promptly.

    Changes to This Policy

    We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by posting a notice within the app. Your continued use of Manifest after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
