Privacy Policy

What data MovieBari collects, why it is collected, who processes it, how long it is kept, and how to have it deleted.

The short version

  • You do not need an account to use MovieBari. Signed out, your watch history, your list and your recent searches are stored by your own browser and are never sent to us.
  • An account is optional. If you sign in, we keep your email address and a copy of your list and of the titles you are part-way through, so they appear on your other devices. Nothing else, and you can delete it at any time.
  • We do count visits, with Google Analytics and Vercel Analytics, to see which parts of the site people use. That is aggregate measurement, not a profile — and Google Analytics is the one thing here that sets a cookie.
  • We do not sell your personal data, and we do not share it for advertising.
  • Advertising networks and the third-party video providers you play from set their own cookies and see your IP address. That part is theirs, not ours.
  • To erase what this site stores in your browser, clear its site data. If you made an account, delete it from the account menu and its copy on our side goes with it.

What we collect

Signed out: not what you search for, and not what you watch. Your searches, your playback position and your saved list are handled entirely inside your browser — see what is stored on your device. The measurement described below counts that a page was viewed; it is not given the title you were looking at as personal data, and it is never tied to you.

Signed in: your email, your lists, your reactions and where you are in what you watch. See if you sign in for exactly what that covers. Your searches stay in your browser either way.

Technical data, in ordinary server logs. Like every website, our hosting provider receives your IP address, user agent and requested URL in order to serve the page, and records them in standard access logs.

Audience measurement. We use Google Analytics and Vercel Analytics to count pageviews and see which sections people use — how many visitors, which pages, roughly where in the world, and whether a visit is a first or a repeat one. Google Analytics does this with the cookies named below; Vercel Analytics uses no cookies at all. Neither is given your name, your email or your account, even when you are signed in. We look at these numbers in aggregate to decide what to build and how much advertising a page can carry.

Your country, in the moment. The country code the hosting network derives from your IP is read on each request to apply regional availability rules. It is used to answer that one request and is not stored by us.

How that information is used

  • To serve the page you asked for.
  • If you have an account: to sign you in, and to show your list and your progress on each device you sign in on. Sign-in codes are the only email we send.
  • To apply regional availability rules and to keep the Service secure.
  • To count how many people use which parts of the site, in aggregate, so we know what to build and how much advertising a page can carry.
  • To meet legal obligations and respond to valid legal requests.

That is the complete list. We build no profiles, run no automated decisions about you, and sell nothing.

If you sign in

Signing in is optional and changes one thing: your list and your place in what you are watching follow you between devices. To do that we keep:

  • Your email address, to send you a sign-in code. There is no password.
  • Your Watch later and Favourites lists — each saved title's name, poster, year and rating, and when you saved it.
  • Your reactions — whether you marked a title Not for me, I like this or Love this!. The site shows how many people chose each one, never who.
  • Continue Watching — for each title you are part-way through, the episode and how far into it you are.
  • The name you set in the app, if you set one.

Your recent searches, your saved radio stations and TV channels, and your downloads are not part of it — they stay on the device.

What is stored on your device

Signed out, this is where everything personal about your use of MovieBari lives. It stays in your browser, on this device, and is never transmitted to us. Signed in, the list and progress described above are also copied to your account.

  • Local storage — watch progress per title, your saved list, your saved radio stations and TV channels, recent searches, and a note of which video servers failed for you so they can be tried later rather than first.
  • Analytics cookies — Google Analytics sets _ga and _ga_<id> as first-party cookies so a repeat visit is recognised as the same device. They carry a random identifier and nothing about who you are. These are the only cookies this site sets; everything else in this list is storage, not cookies.
  • Cookies and storage set by advertising networks and by the video and game frames you open. Those are set by those companies under their own policies, not ours.
The trade-off, stated plainly
Signed out, nothing is stored on our side: clearing your browser data — or opening the site on a different device — starts you from empty, and we have no copy to restore your list or your progress from. Signing in is what changes that.

Who else is involved

Running this site means other companies see some data, either on our behalf or in their own right:

  • Our hosting provider — serves every request and keeps standard access logs.
  • Clerk — runs sign-in if you make an account: it holds your email address and sends your sign-in codes.
  • Supabase — hosts the database that holds a signed-in account's list and progress.
  • TMDB — supplies catalogue metadata and artwork. Images load from their servers, so they receive your IP address.
  • Third-party video providers — when you press play, the frame is loaded from their domain and they see your IP address and device details directly. We have no visibility into or control over what they collect.
  • Broadcasters and station hosts — live TV and radio streams are fetched by your browser straight from whoever operates them, so they see your IP address too.
  • YouTube for trailers and GamePix for games — same arrangement, in their frames.
  • Google Analytics and Vercel Analytics — audience measurement. Google receives the technical data above plus the cookie identifier; Vercel receives the technical data only.
  • Advertising networks — see the next section.
Worth being clear about
The Service is delivered from infrastructure that may sit outside your country, so using it involves an international transfer of the technical data above. If that matters for your circumstances, the practical control is not to use the Service.

Advertising

MovieBari is free and is funded by advertising. Two networks deliver it — Adsterra on the film and series pages, and Monetag on the games, live TV and radio sections. Between them they serve the popunder, the social bar, in-page push, and any banner or native unit. They may set cookies or similar identifiers and use them to select and measure advertisements, including across sites.

We pass them nothing about you — not your email, not an identifier, not your history, whether or not you are signed in. What they observe, they observe directly from your browser when their script runs. A browser-level content blocker or your browser's cookie controls will limit what they can do.

How long we keep things

  • Analytics — kept by Google and Vercel under their own retention schedules. We hold no copy of it ourselves and store nothing about you outside them.
  • Server logs — for the short period our hosting provider retains them.
  • Your account — until you delete it. Deleting it removes your email from Clerk and your list and progress from our database straight away.
  • Everything on your device — until you delete it, either item by item in the interface or all at once by clearing your browser's site data.

Your choices and your rights

Depending on where you live you may have the right to access, correct, export or delete your personal data. Signed out, we hold none ourselves — the only records that exist are the aggregate analytics held by Google and Vercel, and our hosting provider's access logs. Signed in, we hold what is listed under if you sign in. The controls:

  • Delete what is in your browser — clear this site's storage in your browser settings. It is immediate and needs no request to us.
  • Delete your account — from the account menu on the website or the profile screen in the app. It removes your email, your list and your progress from our side at once.
  • Limit the ad networks and the analytics — a content blocker stops all of them, and Google publishes its own opt-out add-on. Neither affects anything else on the site.
  • Ask us anyway — if you believe we hold something about you, write to mail.moviebari@gmail.com and we will look and tell you honestly what we find.

Children

The Service is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child has given us personal data, write to mail.moviebari@gmail.com and we will delete it.

Security

Signed out, this site stores nothing about you. Signed in, it stores the little listed above, and there is no password to leak: you sign in with a code sent to your email. The database is not reachable from the browser or the app — only through our server, which checks who you are first. What remains are the ordinary risks of any website and of the third-party frames you open. No system is perfectly secure — keep that in mind before entrusting anything sensitive to any website.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy. The current version, with its last-updated date, is always the one on this page. Material changes will be signposted on the site.
