1. Introduction
MovieWatcher ("we", "our", or "the app") respects your privacy. This policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our website and services.
2. Information We Collect
When you sign in with Google, we receive your email address, name, and profile picture. We store this to provide your account and personalize the app. We also store the data you create in the app: your watchlist, watched movies, ratings, and collections.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to run the service: to show your watchlist, watched history, and personalized recommendations (e.g. "For You" based on your highly rated movies). We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
4. Cookies and Storage
We use authentication tokens (and related storage) so you stay signed in. We may use local storage for preferences such as dark mode. Movie data is fetched from our API and may be cached to improve performance.
5. Third-Party Services
We use Google for sign-in and The Movie Database (TMDB) for movie information. Their use of data is governed by their respective privacy policies. We do not control data collected by Google or TMDB.
6. Data Retention and Your Rights
We retain your account and movie data for as long as your account is active. You can delete your data by contacting us or, where available, through account or profile settings. If you are in the European Economic Area or other regions with similar laws, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal data.
7. Contact
For privacy-related questions or requests, please contact us through the contact option provided in the app or on the website (e.g. support email or contact form).
