Privacy policy

Last updated: 14 November 2026

This policy explains what the Screen Codex app and this website collect, why, and what you can do about it. Questions: support@screencodex.app.

The short version

• No sign-up. The app gives you an anonymous account so your lists work.
• No ads, no tracking across other apps or websites, no advertising ID, and we never sell your data.
• Your country comes from your phone's region setting, not your location.

What we store, and why

When you first open the app it creates an anonymous account (a random ID) on our database so your lists can be saved. With that account we store:

• Your lists: titles you mark watched (with dates, rewatch count and any private note you add), titles you save, the episodes you tick, and your star ratings.
• Your subscription status: whether Screen Codex Pro is active and when it ends, plus the store's transaction ID so we can confirm the purchase. We never see your payment details; Apple handles payment.
• If you choose “Back up your list” with Sign in with Apple: the identifier and email address Apple shares with us (this can be a private relay address if you choose “Hide My Email”), and a token that lets us revoke the sign-in when you delete your account.

Ratings: other users only ever see the average star rating and the number of ratings for a title, never who rated it. Your private notes are visible only to you.

What stays on your phone

Your country, the services you have, the things you've chosen to hide, your Stream Hub rows and filters, and cached posters are stored only on your phone.

Who else is involved

• Supabase hosts our database and stores your lists and account on our behalf.
• Apple handles payments and, if you use it, Sign in with Apple.
• Movie of the Night provides streaming availability and poster images. Posters load from their image servers, which see your IP address as any web server does.
• When you tap Launch, the streaming service's app or website opens and its own privacy policy applies.

How long we keep it

We keep your lists for as long as your account exists so they're there when you come back. If you delete the app without backing up, your anonymous account can't be recovered; email us and we'll delete it.

Your choices and rights

You can ask us for a copy of your data, to correct it, or to delete it, by emailing support@screencodex.app. We'll reply within 30 days. Deleting your account removes your lists, ratings and backup sign-in. Depending on where you live you may also have the right to complain to your data protection authority.

Children

Screen Codex isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their data.
