This Privacy Policy describes how Cinefy ("we", "our", or "us") collects, uses, protects, and shares your personal information when you use our application.
We collect information that you provide to us directly and information generated by your use of the application:
Account Information: When you sign up using Email, Google, or Apple ID, we collect basic profile details such as your name, email address, and profile picture.
Community and Social Data: Since Cinefy includes social features, we collect the content you create and share. This includes your public feed posts, comments, reactions, ratings, watched media, custom playlists, and hashtags.
Social Connections: We track your social interactions, including follow requests, people you follow, and your followers.
Usage Information: We collect data on how you interact with the app, such as productions watched, search queries, screen navigation, and push notification interactions.
Device Information: We may collect device identifiers, operating system versions, FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging) tokens for push notifications, and language settings to contextualize and deliver services.
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
Provide Core Features: To maintain your social feed, sync your watchlists, render your profile, and allow you to rate and review media.
Community Engagement: To notify you (via in-app mechanisms and push notifications) about social interactions like new followers, comments, and reactions to your posts.
Personalization: To curate and personalize the content, trending hashtags, and recommendations you see.
Service Improvement: To analyze performance, fix bugs, and track aggregated usage patterns using secure native analytics.
Communication: To send you functional app updates and respond to your direct inquiries.
Your privacy is our priority. We handle your data as follows:
Public Profile and Feed: Any post, comment, reaction, or rating you submit to the social feed or media details page is visible to the Cinefy community, depending on your public/private profile settings.
Third-Party Service Providers: We do not sell your personal information. We may share data exclusively with trusted infrastructure providers (such as Google Firebase for database hosting, notifications, and analytics) necessary to operate the app.
Aggregated Data: We may share anonymous or aggregated usage data that does not identify any individual user.
Legal Compliance: We may disclose your information if requested by law, court order, or to protect our legal rights.
We take security seriously and utilize industry-standard measures (including secure cloud databases and encrypted auth tokens) to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction.
Data Retention: We retain your social stats, ratings, and profile data for as long as your account is active.
Account Deletion: You have the right to request account deletion directly within the app. Deleting your account will either wipe your personal data or completely anonymize your public interactions.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect new features and community guidelines. We recommend that you review this policy regularly to stay informed about our privacy practices.
