1. Who we are
PurrCine ("we", "us", or "our") operates this website and the related movie discovery and watch-together services (the "Service"). For privacy questions, contact us at support@purrcine.example.
2. Information we collect
We collect only what we need to run the Service well. This falls into three categories.
Information you give us
- Account details such as your username, display name, email address, and a securely hashed password.
- Profile information you choose to add, such as an avatar image.
- Messages you send through our contact form or support channels.
- Payment evidence you upload when paying by manual methods (for example, a screenshot of a GCash receipt). We store only what is necessary to verify and record the payment.
Information created as you use the Service
- Watchlist and watch history so you can pick up where you left off.
- Watch Together activity such as rooms you create or join and messages you post inside a room.
- Plan and billing status so we can apply your entitlements (ad-free viewing, downloads, and so on).
Technical information
- IP address and basic request data used for security, abuse prevention, and rate limiting.
- Session cookies that keep you signed in and protect forms against cross-site request forgery.
3. How we use your information
We use your information to provide and improve the Service, including to authenticate you, personalize your experience, process payments and vouchers, enforce plan entitlements, prevent fraud and abuse, respond to your messages, and comply with legal obligations. We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use your watch history to build advertising profiles for third parties.
4. Cookies and local storage
We use a small number of essential cookies. A session cookie keeps you signed in, and a security token protects forms. We may also use your browser's local storage and cache to support offline playback for eligible plans. You can clear these at any time through your browser settings, though doing so will sign you out and may remove downloaded content.
5. Third-party services
The Service relies on trusted third parties to function:
- The Movie Database (TMDB) supplies movie and series metadata, artwork, and trailers.
- Embedded playback providers deliver video streams. When you press play, those providers may receive technical information such as your IP address and may set their own cookies. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.
- Payment providers such as PayMongo process card and e-wallet payments. We never see or store full card numbers.
- Advertising partners may serve ads to free-tier users. Ad-free and paid plans do not load display advertising scripts.
6. How we protect your information
We use industry-standard safeguards, including password hashing, prepared database statements, CSRF protection, session hardening, rate limiting, and access controls. No system is perfectly secure, but we work continuously to reduce risk and to respond quickly to any incident.
7. Data retention
We keep account information for as long as your account is active. Watch history and watchlist data are kept until you delete them or close your account. Contact messages are retained for as long as needed to resolve your request. Payment records may be retained longer where required for accounting or legal compliance.
8. Your rights and choices
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. You can update most information directly from your profile page. To make a formal request, contact us at support@purrcine.example. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and may need to verify your identity first.
9. Children's privacy
The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
10. International users
The Service is operated from the Philippines. If you access it from another country, your information may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions with different data protection laws. We take steps to ensure your information remains protected wherever it is processed.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify you through the Service. Continued use after an update means you accept the revised policy.
