Privacy policy

BingeBee lets friends share movies and shows with each other in private groups called circles. This page explains what we collect and why. We keep it small on purpose.

What we collect

• Account: your email address, the name you choose, and a sign-in method (password, Google, or Sign in with Apple). If you use Sign in with Apple and hide your email, we only get Apple's private relay address.
• What you add: the links you share, the titles and notes you post, and which titles you mark as watched.
• Circles: the circles you create or join, who is in them, and invite codes.
• Pictures (optional): a profile picture and a circle picture, if you add them. We shrink them to a small square and store them with your profile or circle. Members of a circle can see the pictures of that circle and its members.
• Invites: the first name you give each friend you invite, so the circle can show whether they have joined yet.
• Basic technical data: sign-in times and error logs, kept by our hosting provider so the app works and stays secure.

What we do not do

• We do not sell your data, show ads, or track you across other apps or websites.
• We do not collect your location or use your microphone.
• We do not upload your contacts or photo library. If you choose to pick a friend from your contacts to invite them, the app reads only the person you pick, uses their phone number to open a text message on your device, and keeps only their name. If you add a picture, only the one you choose is used.

Who can see what

People in a circle can see what you post there, your display name, and who else is in the circle. They cannot see your email address. Your watched list is private to you.

Services we use

• Google Firebase (authentication, database, hosting and functions) stores your account and posts.
• The Movie Database (TMDB) supplies posters, descriptions and where a title streams. We send it the title you searched for, not who you are. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB. Streaming availability and service icons come from JustWatch via TMDB.
• YouTube API Services powers YouTube search. We send it what you type in the search box. By using it you are also subject to the YouTube Terms of Service and the Google Privacy Policy.
• When you add a link, our server fetches that streaming page to read its title and poster.

Your choices

• Delete your account: open the Circles tab, scroll to Account, and tap Delete my account. This removes your account, your posts, and your watched list. Circles you created pass to another member, or are deleted if nobody else is in them.
• Block and report: you can hide a person's posts and report a post from its card.
• Questions or requests: email shailu.it11@gmail.com.

Children

BingeBee is not meant for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

Changes

If we change this policy we will update the date above and, for meaningful changes, tell you in the app.
