Welcome to Popcrn ("we," "our," or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application Popcrn (the "App"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data.
Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not access the App.
We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you:
Connect your TMDB account
Subscribe to our premium services
Create and manage watchlists
Rate movies and TV shows
Contact us for support
This information may include:
Authentication tokens from TMDB
Subscription status
User watchlists and ratings
User identifier (stored securely in device keychain)
When you use our App, we automatically collect certain device information through Firebase Analytics, including:
Device identifiers stored in Keychain
App usage statistics (screens viewed, features used)
Basic device type and operating system information
If you enable calendar features for movie premiere reminders, we access your device's calendar to:
Create calendar events for movie premieres
Update or delete events you've previously created
We only access calendar information with your explicit permission and solely for the purpose of creating and managing movie-related events.
Our App integrates with several third-party services that may collect information according to their own privacy policies:
TMDB (The Movie Database): Authentication data and movie/TV interaction
Firebase: Basic analytics data
RevenueCat: Subscription processing
Google's Gemini AI: Processes movie data for recommendations and trivia
We use the information we collect to:
Provide essential app functionality (movie/TV discovery and information)
Process and manage subscription status through RevenueCat
Generate AI-powered movie recommendations and trivia using Google's Gemini API based on movie content
Track basic app usage through Firebase Analytics to understand feature engagement
Enable calendar integration for movie premiere reminders (only with permission)
Authenticate you with TMDB when you connect your account
We minimize data collection and only collect what's necessary for the app to function properly. We do not:
Build extensive user profiles based on your browsing habits
Collect data to send marketing communications
Sell your personal information to third parties
Track your location
Access device information beyond what's required for core functionality
Your personal information primarily stays on your device. Server interactions are limited to essential functions like retrieving movie data, authenticating with TMDB, and processing subscriptions.
We may share your information with:
Payment processors (Apple App Store, RevenueCat)
Analytics providers (Firebase)
AI service providers (Google's Gemini)
Content providers (TMDB)
These service providers are bound by their own privacy policies and use your information solely to provide their services.
We may disclose your information where required by law or governmental request.
For most user data, retention is handled by the third-party services you connect with:
TMDB: Your account information and activity are retained according to their privacy policy
RevenueCat: Manages subscription data according to their data retention policies
The only data we directly store is:
A unique identifier in your device's Keychain for RevenueCat subscription management
Authentication tokens for TMDB (stored securely on your device)
When you log out of your TMDB account through our app, we remove the associated tokens from your device. If you uninstall the app, all locally stored data is removed from your device, though your accounts with third-party services remain active according to their terms.
We do not maintain a user database or store your personal information on our servers. Your watchlists and ratings are stored with TMDB according to your account with them.
Since we primarily facilitate connections to third-party services rather than storing your data directly, most data protection rights should be exercised with those services:
For TMDB data: Contact TMDB directly to exercise your rights regarding data they store about you
For subscription data: Contact RevenueCat or Apple regarding subscription information
For the limited data we control (device identifiers and authentication tokens stored on your device):
You can reset this data by logging out and/or uninstalling the app
You can revoke access to your calendar at any time through your device settings
If you have specific privacy concerns about how our app interacts with these services, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this policy. We do not maintain a separate database of user information that would allow us to directly fulfill data access, correction, or deletion requests beyond the functionality already available in the app.
If you are in the European Economic Area, we process your personal data based on:
Contract: Processing necessary for our services
Legitimate Interests: Our interests in providing and improving our services
Consent: Where you have given explicit consent
Legal Obligation: Where legally required
If you are a California resident, you have rights regarding your personal information as outlined in the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), including:
The right to know what personal information we collect about you
The right to request deletion of your personal information
The right to opt-out of the sale of your personal information (note that we do not sell personal information)
The right to non-discrimination for exercising your CCPA rights
Our App is available to users of all ages. We do not intentionally collect personally identifiable information from children or any other users. The limited information we collect is necessary for the functioning of the app and is handled as described in this privacy policy.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.
The App may contain links to third-party services. We are not responsible for these third parties' privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites or services before providing any information to them.
When you connect your TMDB account, we receive authentication tokens to access your profile information and interact with this service on your behalf. Please review their privacy policy:

RevenueCat's Privacy Policy
We use Firebase for analytics. Firebase collects usage data and device information to help us improve the App. Please review:
