Privacy Policy | MC SaaS

MC SaaS ("we", "us", or "our") operates mcsaas.app, a directory for discovering micro-SaaS tools. This policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, and what choices you have.

Who is responsible for your data?

The data controller for this website is MC SaaS. For privacy-related requests, contact us at [email protected].

What data we collect

Depending on how you use the site, we may process:

Newsletter: your email address when you subscribe, plus subscription status and timestamps.
Account sign-in: if you sign in with Google or GitHub, we receive profile information from that provider (such as name, email address, and profile image) and store an account record in our database.
User content: tool submissions, saved collections, profile details, and related activity you choose to create while signed in.
Technical data: server logs may include IP address, browser type, referring page, and timestamps when you visit the site or use our APIs.
Analytics: aggregated, privacy-oriented usage data to understand traffic and product usage. Our analytics setup is designed to avoid advertising cookies and cross-site tracking.

How we use your data

Operate the directory, search, and account features.
Send the MC SaaS newsletter when you have opted in.
Respond to support requests and tool submission inquiries.
Protect the site against abuse, spam, and security incidents.
Measure site performance and improve the product.

Legal bases (EEA/UK users)

Where GDPR applies, we rely on:

Consent — for newsletter emails. You can withdraw consent at any time by unsubscribing.
Contract — to provide account features you request when signed in.
Legitimate interests — to run, secure, and improve the website, prevent abuse, and understand aggregate usage, balanced against your rights.

If you subscribe, we store your email address and send a weekly digest about new and recommended SaaS tools. We use your email only for this newsletter unless you separately contact us.

Every newsletter email includes an unsubscribe link. You can also unsubscribe via our unsubscribe page using the link from your welcome email.

Cookies and similar technologies

We use a limited set of cookies and similar storage:

Essential cookies: session and authentication cookies when you sign in, required for account features to work.
Analytics: we use privacy-oriented analytics that does not rely on advertising cookies or cross-site profiling.

We do not currently use non-essential marketing or advertising cookies. If that changes, we will update this policy and request consent where required.

Third-party services

We use trusted providers to operate the site, including:

Google and GitHub — OAuth sign-in (only if you choose to use them).
Email delivery providers — to send newsletter and transactional emails.
Hosting and database infrastructure — to run the application.

These providers process data on our behalf under their own terms and privacy policies. We share only what is needed to provide the relevant service.

Data retention

Newsletter data is kept while you remain subscribed. After you unsubscribe, we retain a minimal record as needed to honour your opt-out.
Account data is kept while your account is active. You may request deletion by contacting us.
Server logs and analytics are retained for a limited period suitable for security and product analysis, then deleted or aggregated.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict, or export your personal data, and to object to certain processing. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw consent at any time.

EEA/UK residents may also lodge a complaint with their local data protection authority. We encourage you to contact us first so we can help.

International transfers

Our service providers may process data in countries outside your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.

Children

MC SaaS is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their personal data.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will revise the "Last updated" date above when we do. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
