Last updated: August 2026

Operated by: Cloneby.me

Application: MovieScan

1. Introduction

MovieScan is an application to manage your personal library of movies and TV shows. This policy describes how we handle your information.

2. Data Stored Locally

By default, all your data (movies, series, posters) is stored locally on your device using IndexedDB. Nothing leaves your device unless you explicitly sign in and save to the cloud.

This data:

🔒 Is private and only you have access
🚫 Does not leave your device by default
🗑️ Is deleted if you clear site data or uninstall the application

3. Google Sign-In (Optional)

MovieScan lets you sign in with Google to sync your collection across devices. When you sign in, Google sends us a secure token (id_token) that we use to identify your account. We only receive:

Your Google user ID (a unique number)
Your email address
Your display name (if you have one set)

We do NOT access your Google Drive, Gmail, contacts, or any other Google service. You can revoke access anytime at myaccount.google.com/permissions.

4. Cloud Sync (Optional)

When you tap 'Save' after signing in, your movie/series collection is uploaded to our sync server so you can access it from other devices. The server stores:

Your Google ID (to associate data with your account)
The list of movies and series you saved (title, poster image, comments, dates)

You can delete your data at any time by signing in on another device and tapping 'Save' with an empty collection, or by contacting us.

5. External Service: OMDb

The application uses the public service OMDb (Open Movie Database) to search for movie and series information.

When you search for a movie, MovieScan sends the title to OMDb to retrieve its data.

OMDb may receive:

The title you searched for
Your IP address (like any web request)

See the OMDb privacy policy for more information.

6. Application Permissions

MovieScan may request:

Gallery access (to choose an image as poster)
Internet access (to search OMDb and sync with the server)

These permissions are used only when you explicitly request them.

7. Cookies and Tracking

We do NOT use cookies or tracking tools. We do NOT show advertising. We do NOT sell your data.

8. Minors

MovieScan is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect data from children.

9. Changes to This Policy

Any changes will be posted at this same URL. The last updated date appears at the top.
