1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
We collect minimal personal information to provide you with the best experience:
- Account Information: When you sign in via Google, we collect your email address, display name, and profile picture.
- App Usage Data: We store your selected moods, movie feedback, and watchlist preferences to improve AI recommendations.
- Device & Technical Data: We may collect device IDs, OS versions, and crash reports to maintain app stability.
- Location Data (Optional): If you grant permission, we may access your device's coarse or precise location to determine your region. This strictly filters movie availability to your local streaming catalogs.
- Push Notifications (Optional): If you grant permission, we may send you alerts regarding new matches.
2. HOW WE USE YOUR DATA
- To provide personalized movie recommendations via AI APIs.
- To manage your account, subscription status, and "spin" balances.
- To track promo code redemptions on a per-user basis to enforce one-per-account limits and prevent fraud.
- To improve our curation algorithms and app performance.
3. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
We use the following third-party services which may collect data according to their own privacy policies:
- Firebase & Google Cloud: For authentication and database hosting.
- Google AdMob: For displaying personalized or non-personalized advertisements.
- Google Play Native Purchases / PayPal: For processing payments securely. We do not store your direct credit card details.
- TMDB: We query movie databases which do not involve your personal data.

4. PROMOTIONAL CODE DATA
- When you redeem a Promo Code, we store a redemption record in our database containing your user ID, the code redeemed, the timestamp, and the value granted. This record is used solely to enforce the one-per-account redemption limit and to prevent fraudulent reuse.
- Redemption records are deleted automatically when your account is deleted.
- We do not share Promo Code redemption data with any third parties.
