Privacy Policy
Last updated 14 November 2026
The short version
Your film library is yours. It lives on your devices and in your own private iCloud account, and we can't see it. We only store what you choose to share in the community: your profile and the lists or reviews you publish. We don't sell data, show ads, or track you across other apps and websites.
What stays on your devices and in your iCloud
Your films, copies, cuts, prices you paid, ratings, watch history, wishlist, watchlist and lists. These sync through Apple's iCloud private database, which only you can read. The Film Lot's community server never receives them unless you publish something.
What our community server stores
Only if you sign in to the community:
- Your account: an identifier from Sign in with Apple. If you choose "Hide My Email", Apple gives us a private relay address instead of your real one.
- Your profile: your handle, display name, bio, four favorite films and, if you switch it on, your collector stats and badge names.
- What you publish: lists (their names, descriptions and films), and in future reviews.
- Safety records: people you block and reports you file.
- Apple sign-in token: kept only so we can cancel your Sign in with Apple link when you delete your account.
Private profiles and private lists are visible only to you. Public profiles and lists, and lists shared by link, can be seen by anyone with the link.
Services we use
- Supabase hosts the community database and sign-in.
- Cloudflare hosts this website.
- TMDB, OMDb and Apple's iTunes Search provide film details, ratings and prices. The app asks them about titles; it doesn't send them your identity.
Deleting your data
In the app, open Community and tap Delete account. This permanently removes your profile, published lists, reviews, blocks and reports from our server and cancels your Sign in with Apple link. Your library on your devices and in iCloud is not affected; delete the app to remove that.
Children
The community features are not intended for children under 13.
