Privacy Policy

DailyFilm is an independent cinema discovery and educational platform designed to help people discover, understand, and appreciate great cinema.

The Service may provide:

• A carefully curated DailyFilm;
• Original editorial texts intended to be read before and after watching a film;
• Film discovery tools;
• Information about films and filmmakers;
• Curated collections;
• Search functionality;
• Favorites and personal collections;
• Film availability and streaming information;
• Information relating to directors, actors, genres, countries, decades, awards, and festivals; and
• Other cinema-related educational and discovery features.

DailyFilm does not operate a film streaming service and generally does not host or distribute the films featured in the Service.

The information collected depends on how you use DailyFilm, the features you enable, your device settings, your privacy choices, and the third-party services used by the Service.

2.1 Account Information

If you create a DailyFilm account, we may collect information such as:

• Email address;
• Internal user or account identifier;
• Authentication information;
• Account creation information;
• Login and authentication status; and
• Information necessary to maintain your account.

Authentication and account infrastructure may be provided through third-party infrastructure providers such as Supabase.

We do not need or intend to collect your password in readable form.

2.2 Social Sign-In Information

If DailyFilm offers sign-in through a third-party authentication provider, such as Sign in with Apple or Google Sign-In, we may receive information permitted by that provider and by your account settings.

Depending on the provider and the permissions you grant, this may include information such as:

• Your name;
• Email address;
• Provider-specific user identifier; and
• Authentication credentials or tokens necessary to sign you in.

We do not receive your password for the third-party service.

2.3 Favorites and Product Interaction

When you interact with DailyFilm, we may process information about how you use the Service, including:

• Films you save or favorite;

• Content you open;
• App launches;
• Search interactions;
• Navigation within the Service;
• Subscription status;
• General engagement with DailyFilm features; and
• Other product interactions necessary to provide or improve the Service.

Some of this information may be associated with your DailyFilm account when necessary to synchronize features such as favorites across devices.

2.4 Search Information

If DailyFilm stores or processes search activity, information about searches you perform may be processed for purposes such as:

• Returning search results;
• Improving search functionality;
• Diagnosing technical problems; and
• Understanding aggregate use of search features.

We do not sell your search history.

2.5 Subscription and Purchase Information

DailyFilm may offer paid subscriptions or other purchases through Apple's App Store.

Payments are processed by Apple.

DailyFilm does not receive or store your full credit card number or other complete payment-card credentials when a purchase is made through Apple's in-app purchase system.

We may receive information necessary to determine your purchase or subscription entitlement, such as:

• Subscription status;
• Product purchased;
• Transaction or entitlement identifiers;
• Purchase and expiration information;
• Renewal status; and
• Other receipt or transaction information provided through Apple's systems.

This information may be associated with your DailyFilm account when necessary to provide Premium features.

2.6 Device and Technical Information

DailyFilm and its service providers may automatically process certain technical information, which may include:

• Device identifiers;
• Advertising identifiers, where permitted;
• IP address;
• Operating system information;
• App version;
• Device type;
• Language and regional settings;
• General or approximate location derived from information such as an IP address;
• App launch information;
• Performance information;
• Crash information;
• Diagnostic information; and
• Other technical information necessary to operate, secure, analyze, or improve the Service.

DailyFilm does not need your precise GPS location merely to provide country-based film availability information unless a feature expressly requests such access.

2.7 Approximate Location

Certain service providers may derive an approximate location from technical information such as an IP address.

Approximate location information may be used for purposes such as:

• Providing regionally relevant functionality;
• Advertising;
• Analytics;
• Fraud prevention;
• Security; and
• Determining general regional availability.

Unless explicitly stated and permission is requested, DailyFilm does not intend to collect precise GPS location for its ordinary cinema discovery functionality.

DailyFilm may display advertisements through third-party advertising providers such as Google AdMob.

Advertising providers may automatically collect or process certain information, potentially including:

• IP address;
• Approximate location derived from IP address;
• Device identifiers;
• Advertising identifiers;
• Advertising interactions;
• Ads viewed;
• Product interactions;
• Diagnostic information;
• Crash information; and
• Performance information.

The precise information collected may depend on your device, jurisdiction, consent choices, advertising settings, SDK configuration, and applicable law.

Where required, DailyFilm will request appropriate consent before enabling personalized advertising or tracking.

On Apple platforms, certain advertising or tracking practices may also be subject to Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework.

If you do not authorize tracking, DailyFilm may still display non-personalized, limited, contextual, or otherwise permitted advertisements depending on availability and applicable requirements.

DailyFilm does not sell your email address to advertisers.

Where permitted and where you provide the required consent, third-party advertising partners may use identifiers or other permitted information to provide personalized advertisements or measure advertising effectiveness.

Personalized advertising may involve information about activity across different apps, websites, or services.

Where applicable law requires consent, such processing will be subject to the consent mechanisms presented to you.

You may be able to change or withdraw certain advertising privacy choices through:

• DailyFilm's privacy settings, where available;
• Apple's privacy and tracking settings;
• A consent management interface presented by the Service; or
• Settings provided by the relevant advertising provider.

Withdrawing consent does not necessarily mean that you will stop seeing advertisements. It may instead result in less personalized, limited, or contextual advertising.

We may use information collected through DailyFilm to:

• Create and maintain user accounts;
• Authenticate users;
• Provide DailyFilm's core features;
• Synchronize favorites and account information;
• Manage Premium access and subscriptions;
• Provide search functionality;
• Deliver cinema-related content;
• Provide film availability information;
• Personalize features where appropriate;
• Display and measure advertising;
• Analyze how DailyFilm is used;
• Diagnose crashes and technical issues;

• Prevent fraud and abuse;
• Protect the security of DailyFilm and its users;
• Respond to support requests;
• Enforce our Terms of Service;
• Comply with legal obligations; and
• Protect our rights and the rights of others.

Where laws such as the GDPR require us to identify a legal basis for processing personal data, processing may be based on one or more of the following:

Poster and backdrop imagery may be provided through TMDB.

DailyFilm does not claim ownership of third-party film posters, backdrop imagery, film trademarks, studio trademarks, or other third-party intellectual property merely because such material is displayed within the Service.

This may include sharing information with providers responsible for:

DailyFilm does not sell users' email addresses or account credentials.

Certain advertising activities may constitute "sharing," "targeted advertising," or similar concepts under some privacy laws even when no money is exchanged for personal information.

Where required, DailyFilm will provide applicable notices, consent mechanisms, or opt-out rights.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to:

Different categories of information may be retained for different periods.

Where information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete, anonymize, or aggregate it, subject to legal, technical, backup, security, and operational requirements.

Where account creation is available, users may request deletion of their DailyFilm account through functionality provided in the Service or by contacting us.

Following a valid deletion request, we will take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize personal information associated with the account, subject to information we are permitted or required to retain for purposes such as:

• Legal compliance;
• Fraud prevention;
• Security;
• Financial or transaction records;
• Dispute resolution; and
• Enforcement of our agreements.

Deleting your DailyFilm account does not necessarily cancel an App Store subscription.

Subscriptions should be managed through the applicable Apple subscription management interface.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including rights to:

• Request access to personal information;
• Request correction of inaccurate information;
• Request deletion;
• Request restriction of processing;
• Object to certain processing;

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.

DailyFilm and its service providers may process information in countries other than the country in which you live.

Those countries may have different data protection laws.

Where required by applicable law, appropriate safeguards will be used for international transfers of personal information.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures intended to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no internet transmission, database, application, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Accordingly, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

You are responsible for protecting access to your device, account, and authentication credentials.
