Cinemere has no server. Everything we know about you lives only in this browser, and you can take it with you or wipe it completely, right here, in one click.
These are your data-subject rights under the GDPR and your consumer rights under the CCPA / CPRA. Because Cinemere stores everything locally, you exercise them yourself, instantly, with no request form and no waiting.
This permanently deletes your Cinemere account and all data listed above from this browser: diary, lists, watchlist, messages, posts, follows and your saved password. It cannot be undone, and because there is no server, there is no other copy to recover from.
Cinemere is a film and television tracking and social platform. This page explains, in plain language, what personal data Cinemere handles, why, on what legal basis, and the rights you have over it. It is written to meet the transparency duties of the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the CPRA.
Cinemere in its current form is a client-side application: there is no server that stores member data. The party responsible for the live deployment you are using (the "operator", and the data controller for GDPR purposes) is whoever hosts these files. If that is not you, contact details should be provided by them. A placeholder contact is given in section 11.
Cinemere only holds data you create by using it. We do not ask for your real name, your phone number, your location, or any special-category data. The table in Your data & rights above is generated live from your own browser and is the authoritative list. In summary:
We collect this data for one purpose only: to provide the features you are using (logging titles, building lists, talking to other members, personalising recommendations). We do not profile you for advertising and we run no analytics.
Your personal data stays in your browser. To function, Cinemere connects to a small number of third parties. These connections necessarily reveal your IP address to those services (that is how the web works), so we keep the list short and disclose it fully:
We do not use any advertising network, analytics provider, social-media pixel, or data broker. We never sell, rent, or "share" (as the CCPA/CPRA defines that term) your personal information.
Cinemere sets no first-party cookies. Instead it uses your browser's localStorage to save your account and activity. Under the EU ePrivacy rules, storage that is strictly necessary to deliver a service you have asked for does not require consent; everything Cinemere stores locally falls into that category, because it is the application's database (your account and your library).
The only consent-relevant item is the optional YouTube trailer embed, which is a third party that can set cookies. That is why the banner gives you a clear choice, defaulted to off, and why you can change it at any time with Manage choices above.
If you are in the EU, EEA or UK, you have the rights below. Because your data lives in your browser, most are self-service and instant here:
No request, identity check, or 30-day wait is needed for the self-service actions, because the data never leaves your device for us to hold.
If you are a California resident, you have the right to:
We do not knowingly process the personal information of consumers we know to be under 16 without the consent required by law (see section 10).
Your data is kept in your browser until you delete it, either item by item, by erasing everything here, or by clearing your browser storage. Tonight stories are an exception: they automatically expire 24 hours after posting. Because there is no server, nothing is retained anywhere else once you erase it.
Passwords are never stored in plain text: Cinemere keeps only a salted hash. However, please understand the limit of client-side software: storing credentials in the browser is obfuscation, not real authentication. Anyone with access to this device and its developer tools could read the local data. For a production platform with genuine accounts, authentication and data storage belong on a secured backend. Cinemere is built so that such a backend can be added behind the same interface without changing the experience.
Keep your device secure, and use the Erase tool before handing a shared or public computer to someone else.
Cinemere is not directed to children. In the EU/EEA we do not knowingly process the data of anyone under 16 (or the lower age set by a member state, down to 13) without verifiable parental consent; in the United States we follow COPPA and do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe a child has used Cinemere, erase the data on the device using the tool above.
If this notice changes materially, the "last updated" date at the top will change and, where required, you will be re-prompted for consent. For privacy questions or to exercise a right that cannot be self-served, contact the operator of this deployment. Placeholder: [email protected]. A live deployment must replace this with the controller's real contact and, for the EU, a representative or Data Protection Officer where one is required.
