FilmHive ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how your personal information is collected, used, and disclosed by FilmHive.
This Privacy Policy applies to our website, and its associated subdomains (collectively, our "Service") alongside our application, FilmHive. By accessing or using our Service, you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to our collection, storage, use, and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service.
The app is designed to be usable without creating an account. However, to provide specific features, we process the following:
Watchlist & Favorites: We store the list of movies and TV shows you select locally on your device.
Search Queries: We process your search terms to provide "Smart Search" results. This data is processed temporarily to fetch results and is not permanently stored on our servers.
Usage Data: We may collect anonymous data on how you interact with the app (e.g., screens visited, buttons clicked) to improve our user interface.
Device Information: We may collect information about your mobile device, including device model, operating system version, and unique device identifiers (like IDFA), primarily for analytics and bug reporting.
To provide AI-Powered Recommendations, we analyze:
The genre, cast, and ratings of movies you add to your "Favorites" or "Watchlist."
This analysis happens [locally on your device / via our secure server] to suggest similar content. This data is not sold to third parties.
We use the information we collect in various ways, including to:
Provide, operate, and maintain our app.
Send Reminders: We use your device's local notification system to send alerts for movie releases or scheduled watch times.
Personalize Content: Our AI algorithms use your watch history to filter and display movies relevant to your taste.
Improve, personalize, and expand our app.
Analyze and understand how you use our app.
We use third-party services to provide data and functionality. These services have their own privacy policies.
The Movie Database (TMDB) This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB. We do not claim ownership of the movie data, images, or trailers provided via this API.

iCloud (Apple) If you enable sync, your Watchlist, Favorites, and settings are stored in your personal iCloud container. We (the developers) do not have access to this data; it is encrypted and managed by Apple.
Google AdMob & Firebase (If applicable) We may use Google AdMob to display ads and Firebase for analytics.
FilmHive uses Local Notifications. This means the "Reminders" you set (e.g., "Remind me to watch Dune on Friday") are scheduled locally on your iPhone. We do not send this schedule to an external server, ensuring your viewing habits remain private.
The security of your data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
FilmHive does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If you think that your child provided this kind of information on our website, we strongly encourage you to contact us immediately and we will do our best efforts to promptly remove such information from our records.
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Thus, we advise you to review this page periodically for any changes. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. These changes are effective immediately, after they are posted on this page.
If you have any questions or suggestions about our Privacy Policy, do not hesitate to contact us.
