Privacy Policy
Summary: BingeBox is designed with privacy at its core. We do not sell your personal data, we do not require account registration, and your watchlists and favorites remain strictly stored on your own device.
1. Overview & Commitment
This Privacy Policy applies to the BingeBox mobile application for iOS devices ("App", "we", "us", or "our"). We are committed to safeguarding your privacy and ensuring a transparent and secure experience.
By downloading, installing, or using BingeBox, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
2. Information We Collect
BingeBox minimizes data collection to the greatest extent possible:
- On-Device Preferences & Watchlists: Your movie watchlists, watched history, custom ratings, and favorite streaming platforms are stored locally on your device via iOS sandboxed storage. This information is never transmitted to our private servers.
- No Account Required: You can use all core features of BingeBox completely anonymously without providing your name, email address, phone number, or social media login.
- Device Technical Information: Basic anonymous technical diagnostics (such as iOS version, device model, and crash logs) may be collected automatically by Apple through standard iOS App Store analytics if you have opted in to share analytics with app developers in your device settings.
3. Third-Party Services & APIs
BingeBox integrates with trusted third-party providers strictly to provide movie discovery and streaming information:
- The Movie Database (TMDB): BingeBox queries TMDB APIs to fetch film summaries, high-definition posters, cast filmographies, genres, and trailers. Notice: This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB. No personally identifiable user data is shared with TMDB.
- Apple StoreKit: In-App Purchases, subscriptions, and receipt validations are handled directly by Apple through secure StoreKit APIs. We do not receive or store your payment details, credit card numbers, or billing addresses.
- Advertising & Analytics (Google AdMob): If advertisements are served, Google AdMob may collect non-personal device identifiers (such as the ID for Advertisers - IDFA, subject to the Apple App Tracking Transparency framework) to serve contextual or personalized advertisements in compliance with Google and Apple developer policies. You can reset or limit ad tracking in your iOS device settings (Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking).
4. Device Permissions
BingeBox may request the following iOS permissions, which are completely optional:
- Notifications: We request permission to send local scheduled alerts for upcoming movie theatrical releases, streaming drops, or nightly Daily CineChallenge trivia reminders. You can enable, customize, or disable notifications at any time directly in the BingeBox Settings screen or in iOS Settings > Notifications > BingeBox.
5. Data Retention & Deletion
Because BingeBox stores your watchlists and preferences locally on your device, you have complete control over your data. You can delete your data at any time by:
- Clearing individual items in the app's Watchlist screen.
- Uninstalling or deleting the BingeBox app from your iOS device, which immediately purges all locally sandboxed data.
6. Children's Privacy
BingeBox is not directed toward children under the age of 13 (or 16 in certain jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children. If you become aware that a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately so we can take appropriate steps.
7. International Compliance (GDPR & CCPA)
Under the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), users possess rights regarding their personal data, including the right to access, rectify, restrict, or erase data. Because we do not store personal profiles on remote servers, your data is inherently protected by local execution. For any inquiries, please reach out via our contact email below.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically for any updates.
