Privacy Policy

Effective 10 November 2026

TV Binge Diary is operated by Geri Luga, Albania, the data controller. Contact: tvbingediary@gmail.com.

What we collect

• Your email address and password or, if you continue with Google or Apple, the email address and name that account shares with us (Apple lets you hide your address behind a relay).
• Your handle and optional display name, which other members see on your comments and your profile and can search for, and your timezone and country.
• Your library: shows and films you follow, their status, favourites, watched episodes, the films you log and when, ratings, lists, recommendations you dismiss, and when you remove a title.
• Your friends and friend requests. Once you and another member accept each other as friends, each of you can see the other’s library, progress, ratings, favourites and when you watched, except any title hidden from friends. Your lists stay private unless you make one public, which shows it to your friends. Your list of friends is shown only to you.
• Comments and likes, which are public, and reports and blocks, which are not.
• Feedback you send us, with your app version and device or browser details.
• A push token for your device, only if you turn on notifications.
• IP addresses and administrator account-access records in server logs, for security.
• The browser or app each of your signed-in sessions uses.
• If the app crashes or hits an error, a crash report: what went wrong in the app's code, the app and system version, the device model and the screens opened just before. It carries no name, email or account.

We run no ads or analytics, do not track you across other apps or sites, and do not sell your data.

Authorised administrators may access and make changes to your account for support and troubleshooting. We log when that access starts and ends.

Why

• To provide the service you signed up for (contract, GDPR Art. 6(1)(b)).
• To send episode and film release alerts, with your consent, which you can withdraw by turning them off (Art. 6(1)(a)).
• To keep the service secure and working, find and fix crashes, read and answer feedback, moderate discussions, and show average ratings, including on the public page anyone can open for a show, film or episode, once enough members have rated it (legitimate interests, Art. 6(1)(f)).

If you import from another app, we process the file to add the supported entries to your library. We do not store the original file, and we never read the profile, contact or message details it may contain.

Who processes it

Service providers acting only on our instructions and bound to protect the data as we do: our hosting provider in the EU, artwork storage and delivery, an email provider for account emails and for moderation and feedback alerts, Google and Apple when you sign in with them, Expo, Apple and Google for push notifications, Sentry, in the EU, for crash reports, and a monitoring provider for server logs. Some of them may process data outside the EEA under the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses. We disclose data otherwise only where the law requires it.

How long we keep it

Until you delete your account. Reports are kept for up to 12 months after they are handled. Crash reports are deleted within 90 days. Server logs are kept briefly and rotated out automatically.

Your rights

You can ask to access, correct, export, delete, or restrict your data, or object to how it is used, by writing to tvbingediary@gmail.com. You can delete your account yourself at any time — see Delete your account. You may also complain to your data protection authority.

Cookies

We use only what is needed to keep you signed in and to make the site work offline. No advertising or analytics cookies.

Children

You must be at least 13, or 16 in the EEA and the UK.
