Overview
Manthan is a retrospective collection platform built on the principle of genuine anonymity. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data. We're committed to transparency — if something isn't clear, contact us at support@craskey.com.
Anonymity & your retrospective submissions
For retrospective contributors: When you submit retrospectives anonymously through a Manthan board, we do not collect or store identifying information about you. Your retrospective is stored separately from any identifying data.
Device fingerprinting: We use FingerprintJS to create a non-persistent device fingerprint. This helps us prevent spam and duplicate submissions, not to identify you. The fingerprint cannot be reversed to identify an individual.
No IP logging: We do not store your IP address with your feedback.
No account required: Anonymous contributors don't need to create an account or provide an email.
What stays anonymous: Board admins can see the retrospective content, votes, and read status — but never the source.

International data transfers
If you're in the EU, your data may be stored in US or EU data centers. By using Manthan, you consent to this processing. We comply with standard contractual clauses required under GDPR.
Children's privacy
Manthan is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from users under 13. If we become aware of such collection, we will delete it immediately.
