Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 22, 2026

This policy explains what data the MovieCatch app and the moviecatch.expo.app website collect, why, and who it is shared with.

Account information

An account is optional; you can browse movies without one. If you create one, your name, email address and profile photo (from Google or Apple if you sign in with them) are stored.

Sign-in is handled by Clerk. We never see your password.

Your lists and the people you follow

Your favorites, saved and watched movies, and the people you follow are stored with your account on Supabase.

People who follow you can see your name, profile photo and the movies you add to your lists.

The people you block and the reviews you report are stored, to keep them out of your sight and to look into reports. A reported note is saved as it read at the time.

The stars and note you give a movie are shown with your name and profile photo in that movie’s reviews, to other signed-in users. You can change or remove them at any time.

Notifications

If you allow notifications, your device’s push token and app language are stored. They are used only to send release reminders for movies you saved, delivered through Expo’s push service.

You can turn notifications off at any time in your device settings.

Premium and payments

Subscriptions are bought through the App Store or Google Play; Apple or Google handles payment details and we never see them.

RevenueCat links your subscription status to your account id so Premium features can be unlocked.

Movie picks

When you use movie picks, the titles of movies you have watched, the genre and the minimum rating you chose are sent to Google Gemini to make suggestions. Your name and email are not sent.

Crash reports

When the app crashes or runs into an error, details about it (device model, system version, the screen it happened on) are sent to Sentry so we can find and fix the problem. These reports carry only your account id, not your name or email.

Camera and location

The camera is used only to scan a friend’s QR code; images are not stored or sent.

Where to watch uses your device’s region setting. Your location is not collected.

Movie data and shared links

Movie details come from TMDB and streaming data from JustWatch; no personal data is sent to them.

When someone opens a movie or profile link you shared, Expo (EAS Hosting), which hosts the site, may keep technical request logs such as IP address and browser.

Retention and deletion

Your data is kept while your account exists.

You can delete your account at any time in the app, under Profile → Delete account; your lists, ratings, notes and follows are deleted with it straight away.

If you cannot get into the app, email cemreonurb@gmail.com from your account’s email address; requests are completed within 30 days.

We do not sell your data or use it for advertising.

Children

MovieCatch is not directed at children under 13.
