The short version
WatchNext does not collect or transmit personal information to its developer. Your name, watchlist, movie reactions, and preferences stay entirely on your device. WatchNext has no ads, no analytics SDK, and no tracking of any kind.

- Your selected genres and decades.
- Movies you have reacted to (loved, skipped, saved) and when.

- Your settings, including notification preferences and theme.
This data lives only on your device. It is never sent to any WatchNext server (we do not run a server).
