Privacy Policy

01 Who this policy covers

This Privacy Policy describes how the Bingeify iOS and iPadOS app ("Bingeify", "the app", "we") handles information when you use Home, Discover, search, title details, Stats, Profile, Settings, watchlists, watched lists, and watch notes.

This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB. Movie and TV titles, posters, ratings, overviews, and related catalog metadata are supplied by The Movie Database (TMDB).

02 Information we handle

Bingeify is designed so that personal viewing records do not require a Bingeify server account. The categories below reflect what the current app actually does.

Information we do not collect

• Name, email address, phone number, or payment details
• Precise location, contacts, camera, microphone, or photo library access
• Advertising identifiers for cross-app tracking
• Health, financial, or government ID data

Search is requested with adult results turned off (include_adult=false). Catalog content is still provided by TMDB and may include titles intended for mature audiences depending on what TMDB returns.

03 How the information is used

• To show movie and TV information you request, including Home rows, Discover by country, search results, and title details.
• To keep your Watchlist, watched history, Stats, and watch notes available the next time you open the app.
• To remember appearance and Discover region so the app matches your last choices.
• To send an optional weekly local reminder about titles waiting on your Watchlist, if you enable notifications and the reminder switch.
• To cache artwork so posters load faster and use less network data.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not use on-device lists or notes to build advertising profiles.

04 Sharing and third parties

Bingeify shares information with others only as needed to operate the features you use:

• TMDB. Browse, search, and detail requests, plus image fetches, are sent to TMDB. TMDB processes those requests under its own terms and privacy policy: themoviedb.org/privacy-policy. This product is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.
• Apple. Apple provides the App Store, iOS and iPadOS, on-device storage APIs, and notification delivery. Apple processes data under Apple's privacy policy.

Open-source libraries used in the app (including image loading and layout helpers) run on your device. They are not a separate consumer data service.

We may disclose information if required by law, to protect users, or to respond to a valid legal request. Because most of your viewing records never leave the device, those records are typically available only on that device.

05 Retention and security

Watch lists, watch notes, and preferences remain on the device until you delete a title, change a setting, clear app data, or uninstall Bingeify. Cached images may be removed automatically when storage is reclaimed.

Network calls to TMDB use HTTPS. No security measure is perfect. If you use a shared device, anyone with access to the unlocked phone or iPad may see lists and notes stored in the app.

Uninstalling Bingeify removes the app's local records from that device. It does not delete information TMDB may already have processed from search or catalog requests, which is governed by TMDB's policy.

06 Your choices and rights

• Lists and notes. Remove titles from Watchlist or Watched, or edit and save watch notes, from inside the app. Back on the watch-note screen discards unsaved edits.
• Notifications. You can decline permission, disable the in-app reminder, or turn off Bingeify alerts in iOS Settings.
• Region. Discover country is a local preference that only changes which TMDB catalog request is made.
• Delete locally stored data. Delete individual items in Profile, or remove the app from the device.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain processing, or to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority. Because Bingeify does not keep a cloud copy of your lists, the practical way to access or erase that content is on the device itself. For questions, use the contact path below.

If you are in the EEA, UK, or a similar jurisdiction, processing of catalog requests is necessary to provide the service you ask for. Local storage of lists and notes is performed at your request when you use those features.

If you are a California resident, we do not sell or share personal information as those terms are commonly used for advertising cross-context behavioral advertising. The TMDB requests described above are made to operate the catalog.

07 Children

Bingeify is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. The app does not provide an account sign-up for a child. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, contact us.

08 International use

You may use Bingeify from different countries. TMDB and Apple may process technical request data in the United States or other locations. If you do not want catalog requests to leave your device, do not use search, Home, Discover, or detail loading features that require TMDB.

09 Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the app's features or legal requirements change. The effective date at the top will be revised. Continued use of Bingeify after an update means you are looking at the current description of how the app handles information. Material changes that affect how we handle personal information will be reflected here before those changes ship in the app, where reasonably possible.
