Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 9, 2026

Introduction

Welcome to OTT Checker ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application and website.

Information We Collect

OTT Checker is designed with your privacy in mind. We collect minimal information:

• No Personal Information: We do not collect names, phone numbers, or any personally identifiable information. The only exception is an email address you choose to type into the feedback form (see "Feedback" below).
• No Account Required: Our app and website do not require user registration or login.
• Movie Searches: Search queries are processed to return results and are not stored against any user profile. We log the length of queries and the number of results returned (never the query text itself) for aggregate analytics.
• Anonymous Usage Analytics: We collect aggregate, anonymous usage statistics such as screen views, button taps, app version, device type, and operating system to improve the product. No IP addresses, precise location, contacts, or content of your searches are collected.
• Release Alerts (optional, mobile app): If you enable "Notify me" for a title, or turn on New Release Alerts for one or more languages in Settings, we store your device's anonymous push notification token together with the titles or languages you chose. This is used solely to send those alerts (at most one notification a day) and is never linked to any identity or used for marketing. Title alerts are deleted once sent or when you unsubscribe; language alerts are deleted when you turn them off. All alert records are removed automatically if your device becomes unreachable. You can also disable notifications at any time in your device settings, which stops all alerts.
• Feedback (optional): If you send feedback from the website or app, we receive what you write and, only if you choose to enter it, your email address so we can reply. Feedback is collected through Google Forms and used only to respond to you and improve the service.

Third-Party Services

OTT Checker uses the following third-party services:

• The Movie Database (TMDB): We use the TMDB API to fetch movie information and streaming availability. Their privacy policy can be found at https://www.themoviedb.org/privacy-policy.
• Cloudflare: Our website and API are hosted on Cloudflare. Their privacy policy can be found at https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/.
• Google Analytics (website only): We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand aggregate website usage such as page views, country-level geography, device type, and traffic sources. GA4 automatically anonymizes IP addresses and does not share our data with advertising products. Learn more at https://policies.google.com/privacy and opt out at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
• Meta (Facebook) SDK (mobile app only): The mobile app includes the Meta SDK so we can measure installs that come from our ads on Facebook and Instagram. It sends Meta app events, namely that the app was installed and opened, along with device information such as device model, operating system version, app version, and an app-specific identifier. We have disabled collection of the device advertising identifier (IDFA/AAID), we do not show the iOS tracking prompt, and we do not send names, emails, search queries, or what you watch. Meta's privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/.
• PostHog (mobile app only): We use PostHog (PostHog Inc., San Francisco, CA) in the mobile app to understand anonymous, aggregate product usage. PostHog receives an anonymous device identifier, device type, operating system, app version, locale, and events such as screen views and button taps. We have explicitly disabled session replay, touch heatmaps, and IP-based geolocation, and we instruct PostHog to discard IP addresses at ingestion. No name, email, phone number, precise location, or search query text is ever sent. PostHog's privacy policy: https://posthog.com/privacy.

Data Storage

We do not store any personal data, with one narrow exception: if you opt in to release alerts, we store your device's anonymous push notification token and chosen titles for as long as the alert is pending or your language alerts are on (see "Release Alerts" above). Movie information displayed in the app is fetched in real-time from TMDB and cached temporarily for performance purposes only.

Cookies and Tracking

Our website uses a small number of cookies:

• Session cookies required for the website to function (e.g., keeping your language preference across page loads). These are strictly necessary and not used for tracking.
• Google Analytics cookies (_ga, _ga_*) used to measure aggregate website usage. IP addresses are anonymized and the data is not used for advertising.

The website does not use third-party advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, or cross-site tracking. The mobile app does not use cookies; its anonymous analytics and the Meta SDK's install measurement are described above.

You can disable analytics by using a browser extension such as the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on or by enabling "Do Not Track" / a privacy-focused browser.

Children's Privacy

Our app is suitable for all ages and does not collect any information from children or adults.

Your Rights

Because we do not collect personal information, there is generally no personal data to access, modify, or delete. If you believe anonymous analytics attributable to your device should be removed, please contact us at the address below and we will work with our analytics providers to honor the request.

EU / UK / California residents have additional rights under GDPR / UK GDPR / CCPA (right to access, delete, and opt out of "sale" of personal information). We do not sell personal information.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date.

Data Security

While we don't collect personal data, we use industry-standard security measures to protect our infrastructure and ensure a safe experience for all users.

International Users

Our services are available globally. By using OTT Checker, you consent to the processing of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
