Privacy Policy

Last updated August 2026

We have written this in plain language because you deserve to understand what happens to your information without wading through legal text.

What we collect

When you join RateMama we ask for a few things:

  • Your first name and surname
  • Your email address
  • Your city and country
  • The ratings you leave, including the price you paid and where you bought it
  • Which products you save, swipe on and mark as helpful

Why we collect it

To personalise what you see, to show your ratings to other families, and to send you the notifications you asked for. That is all.

What other people can see

Your public profile shows only:

  • Your first name
  • Your city and country
  • Your profile photo, if you added one
  • Your bio, if you wrote one
  • The ratings you have left

What stays private

Your surname is never shown to anyone. Not on your profile, not on your ratings, not anywhere. Neither is your email address or your marketing preference. These are locked down in our database itself, not merely hidden by our website.

You can also set your profile to friends only, which keeps your ratings visible just to people you follow who follow you back.

Your rights

Under UK and EU data protection law you can ask us to:

  • Show you everything we hold about you
  • Correct anything that is wrong
  • Delete your account and your data
  • Stop sending you marketing email at any time

You can delete your account yourself at any time on your settings page. It removes your profile, your ratings, your saved products and your photos immediately, and it cannot be undone. For anything else, email us at hello@ratemama.com and a real person will sort it out.

We never sell your data

Not to advertisers, not to brands, not to anyone. Ever. We are not that kind of company and we do not intend to become one.

Who helps us run RateMama

Three companies process data on our behalf:

  • Supabase, which stores our database and handles logging in
  • Resend, which sends our email
  • Vercel, which hosts the website

Cookies and analytics

We ask before setting anything beyond what is needed to keep you logged in. If you decline, the site works exactly the same.

If you accept, we use Google Analytics to see which pages people find useful and where they arrive from. It records the pages you visit, roughly where in the world you are and what kind of device you use. It never receives your name, your email address or the ratings you leave, and we do not use it for advertising.

Google Analytics is provided by Google Ireland Limited, and some data may be processed outside the UK under the safeguards Google publishes. Nothing loads until you accept, and you can change your mind at any time on your settings page. Turning it off clears the cookies it set.

Getting in touch
