Privacy Policy

The short version

• You do not create an account, and we do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, or a password.
• On first launch the app creates an anonymous identifier so your watch list can be saved and synced.
• We store the shows and episodes you track, and we use analytics and crash-reporting tools to understand usage and fix bugs.
• We do not sell your data and we do not show third-party advertising.

1. Who we are

TV Moment is an independently developed application for Android and iOS. For any questions about this policy or your data, contact us at hrosy.kusim@gmail.com.

2. Information we collect

a. Anonymous account identifier

When you first open the app, it automatically signs you in anonymously (via Supabase Anonymous Sign-In) and generates a random identifier. This identifier lets us store your watch list and keep it associated with your installation. It is not linked to your real-world identity, and no registration, name, email, or password is involved.

b. Your watch-list and activity data

Associated with your anonymous identifier, we store:

• the TV shows you add to your watch list;
• which episodes and seasons you have marked as watched, and the date and time of those marks;
• the archive status of your shows.

If you use the “Import from TV Time” feature, the show and episode history contained in the TV Time data-export file you choose is uploaded to our backend, matched against our catalog, and stored against your anonymous identifier so your history is reflected in the app.

c. Search and catalog data

Show information is provided by the third-party TVMaze catalog API. When you search, your search query is sent to our backend and to TVMaze to return and cache results.

d. Product analytics

We use PostHog (EU-hosted) to understand how the app is used. We send product events such as: app opened and installed, screens viewed, searches performed (we record the length of the query and the number of results — not the text you typed), search results clicked, show details viewed, shows added, removed or archived, episodes and seasons marked watched, theme changed, and the app being shared. These events are associated with your anonymous identifier along with your platform (Android/iOS) and app version.

The PostHog SDK also collects standard technical information such as device model, operating-system version, app version, locale/time zone, and your IP address, from which an approximate (city-level) location may be derived. A configurable share of events may be sampled rather than sent in full. Backend request telemetry (which API route was called, the method and the response status) is also sent to PostHog without a personal profile and with geolocation disabled.

e. Crash and diagnostic data (Android)

On Android we use Google Firebase Crashlytics and Firebase Analytics. If the app crashes, Crashlytics collects diagnostic data — device state, OS and app version, stack traces, and a Firebase-generated installation identifier — to help us diagnose and fix the problem. Firebase Analytics collects standard app-usage and device information. This data is processed by Google as described in the Firebase Privacy documentation.

3. Why we use your data

• To provide the service — storing and syncing your watch list and watched history.
• To improve the app — understanding which features are used and how, through aggregated analytics.
• To keep it working — detecting, diagnosing, and fixing crashes and errors.

4. Service providers

We share data only with the processors needed to run the app:

Provider	Purpose	Region
Supabase	Database & anonymous authentication	EU (Paris, eu-west-3)
PostHog	Product analytics	EU cloud
Google Firebase	Crash reporting & analytics (Android)	Google infrastructure
TVMaze	TV catalog data	Third-party API

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not share it with third parties for their own advertising or marketing.

5. Data retention

Your watch-list data is retained for as long as your installation exists on our backend. Analytics and crash data are retained according to the default retention periods of PostHog and Firebase respectively. If you would like your stored data deleted, contact us at the address below and we will remove the records associated with your anonymous identifier.

6. Your choices and rights

• You can request deletion of the data associated with your installation by emailing us.
• Uninstalling the app stops all further collection from your device.
• Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or erase your personal data. Contact us to exercise them.

7. Children

TV Moment is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be reflected here before they take effect.
