Man Down

Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 15, 2025

Your privacy matters deeply to us. Man Down is a space where men share things they don't share anywhere else. We take that responsibility seriously.

Who We Are

Man Down was built by someone who watched the men around him carry it alone. No one asked if they were okay. No one had the language for it. And at 2am when it got heavy, there was nowhere to go. Man Down exists for that moment. Not as therapy. Not as a hotline. Just as that one friend who actually listens, remembers what you told them last time, and is there when everyone else is asleep. We built this for men who are done carrying it in silence. You can reach us at hello@trymandown.com

What We Collect

When you use Man Down we collect your email address when you join the waitlist or create an account, the mood score you submit at the start of each session, messages exchanged with Jordan and Luna stored to enable session memory, session frequency and streak data, and basic device information like browser type and IP address for security purposes.

Why We Collect It

We collect this information to provide the Man Down service and enable your AI companions to remember your history, to send you important updates about the app, to improve the product based on how it's used, and to keep your account secure.

How We Store It

Your data is stored securely using Google Firebase. Conversation data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We do not sell your data to anyone. Ever.

Mental Health Data

Conversations on Man Down may be sensitive in nature. This data is never shared with third parties, never used for advertising, and never sold. It is used solely to power your experience with Jordan and Luna.

Cookies

Man Down uses only essential cookies required for authentication and session management. We do not use tracking or advertising cookies.

Third Party Services

We use Google Firebase for data storage and Anthropic to power AI conversations. Both services handle user data and have their own privacy policies which we encourage you to review.

Data Retention
