StillWatching ("we," "our," or "us") is a personal TV and movie tracking service. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have.
Information We Collect
When you use StillWatching, we may collect information you provide directly, such as your email address when you create an account, and the watchlist data you add to the service (shows, movies, episode progress, and ratings).
We also collect limited usage data such as which features you use and general interaction patterns, to help improve the product. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
Third-Party Services
StillWatching uses third-party services (including The Movie Database (TMDB) for show and movie information) to provide its core features. Your queries to TMDB (such as searching for titles) may transmit your IP address to TMDB and are subject to TMDB's Privacy Policy. We do not control and are not responsible for TMDB's data practices.
If you sign in with Google, Google provides us with limited profile information (name and email) solely for authentication purposes.
Data Storage
Your watchlist, ratings, and preferences are stored in our database and may be associated with your account. Local-only profiles store data in your browser's localStorage and are not synced to our servers unless you create an account.
Cookies
StillWatching uses session cookies to maintain your authenticated session. We also store certain preferences (such as your selected color theme) in your browser's localStorage. We do not use advertising cookies, analytics cookies, or third-party tracking cookies. We do not respond to Do Not Track signals.
Your Rights
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or a jurisdiction with similar data protection laws (including, without limitation, the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act, or "CCPA"), you may have the following rights with respect to your personal data:
- Access: You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Correction: You may request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
- Deletion: You may request that we delete your personal data, subject to certain exceptions.
- Portability: Where applicable law allows, you may request a machine-readable copy of your personal data.
- Objection: You may object to certain processing activities where we rely on legitimate interests as our legal basis.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to verified requests within the timeframe required by applicable law. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe we have not addressed your concern.
Note: Users outside of account-based (guest/local) profiles have more limited rights as their data is not associated with an identified individual.
Data Retention
We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you services. Upon account deletion, we delete or anonymize your data in accordance with our retention obligations, except where retention is required by applicable law.
Your Choices
You can export or delete your account data at any time by contacting us at the address below. You may also clear your local browser data through your browser's settings, which will remove any locally-stored preferences and your guest profile.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any material changes will be reflected by updating the effective date above. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
