Understanding how your data is handled in our movie recommendation app

1. Introduction

CineBot (Movie Recommender) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding data collection and usage.

2. Information Collection

CineBot does not collect, store, or share any personal information from users. Your movie preferences and chat history are stored locally on your device only and are not transmitted to any external servers or third parties.

3. Data Storage

All app data is stored locally on your device. This includes:

  • Chat messages and conversations
  • Movie preferences
  • App settings
  • Credit balance

4. In-App Credits

CineBot uses a credit system to manage usage of the chat feature. Credits are stored locally on your device and are not tied to any personal information. You can earn credits by watching advertisements.

  • Each chat message costs 10 credits
  • Watching an ad earns you 30 credits
  • Credit balance persists between app sessions
  • Credits are not transferable and have no monetary value outside the app

5. Advertisements

CineBot displays advertisements that allow users to earn in-app credits. These ads are provided by Google AdMob. When you choose to view an ad:

  • Standard advertising data may be collected by Google AdMob (not by CineBot)
  • Ad providers may use device identifiers and location data to serve relevant ads
  • No personal information from your usage of the app is shared with advertisers
  • For more information about AdMob's data practices, please refer to Google's Privacy Policy

6. Third-Party Services

CineBot uses The Movie Database (TMDB) API to fetch movie information. When you use the app to search for movies or get recommendations, the app makes requests to TMDB. These requests do not include any personal information about you.

7. Analytics and Crash Reporting

The app does not implement any analytics or crash reporting services that would collect usage data.
