This Privacy Policy explains what information Encryptic (“we”, “us”) collects when you use the Service, how we use it, and the choices you have. Encryptic is a catalogue and player interface; stream hosts and catalogue providers (such as TMDB) have their own policies.
1. Information we collect
- Account data — email (if provided), display name or guest username, password (stored hashed by our auth provider), and optional profile fields such as avatar or accent colour.
- Usage on your account — watchlist items and continue-watching progress tied to your signed-in profile so they sync across devices.
- Local device data — preferences and flags stored in your browser (for example “what’s new” seen version, player settings). These stay on your device unless you clear site data.
- Viewing activity (only if you accept cookies) — which titles and episodes you start watching, linked to a random browser ID and, if signed in, your account. Decline cookies and nothing is recorded.
- Bug reports — the description you write, the page it happened on, and a name only if you choose to give one. Reports are private and only seen by the site owner.
- Episode finder text — what you type into “Find an episode” is sent, with that show’s episode summaries, to an AI model to suggest a match. We don’t store it with your account.
- Technical logs — basic request metadata may be processed by our hosting provider for reliability and abuse prevention (IP address, user agent, timestamps).
2. How we use information
Connection security — we send your IP address to Proxycheck to identify VPNs, proxies, Tor, known scrapers and attack sources. Positive detections restrict access. This essential security check is separate from optional viewing analytics and runs even if you decline optional cookies. Results are held temporarily in server memory for up to five minutes; requests disable Proxycheck’s positive-detection dashboard saving, but its own operational retention policies still apply. Detection can be wrong. Access-help reports include your VPN answer, extension details, description and optional name, and are privately available to Longno. Reports do not automatically lift a restriction.
- To create and secure your account, and to sign you in.
- To save watchlist and progress features you ask for.
- To operate, maintain and improve the Service.
- To respond to support or takedown requests you send us.
We do not sell your personal information.
3. Third parties
- Authentication — sign-in may use Supabase and optional OAuth providers (Google, Apple, Microsoft). Their privacy policies apply to those flows.
- Catalogue metadata — titles, posters and descriptions come from TMDB and similar APIs. We do not send them your password.
- AI episode finder — descriptions you enter are processed by an AI model provider through Lovable’s AI service, without your name or account details, to return suggested episodes.
- Playback — when you press Watch, your browser loads embeds or streams from independent third-party hosts. Those sites may set their own cookies or collect data under their policies. Encryptic does not control that media.
4. Retention
Account and profile data are kept while your account exists. You may delete or stop using your account; residual backups or logs may persist for a limited time as required for security and operations.
5. Your choices
- Update profile details in Settings / Profile.
- Change your cookie choice at any time to stop viewing-activity collection.
- Clear local site data in your browser to remove device-only preferences.
- Contact us to ask about account deletion or privacy questions.
6. Children
Encryptic is not directed at children under the age where parental consent is required in your region. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us so we can help remove it.
7. Changes
We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy.
