Privacy Policy

Movies Calculator (https://moviescalculator.com) is operated by 85CO SRL. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you use the site, how it is used, and the choices you have.

Movies Calculator is an informational tool for estimating movie watch time. You can use the site without an account. Optional Pro subscriptions unlock personal watchlist and profile features; payments are processed securely by Stripe.

We collect limited information automatically when you visit the site. You may optionally share calculator settings through the URL, and signed-in users provide account and profile information described below.

• Usage and analytics data — page views, approximate location (country/region), device type, browser, referrer, and interactions such as calculator events or link clicks, collected through analytics tools described below.
• Server and hosting logs — IP address, request time, pages requested, and user agent, retained by our hosting provider for security, performance, and troubleshooting.
• Calculator inputs in the URL — when you adjust the calculator or use Share, your settings may appear in the page URL (for example daily hours, playback speed, or time horizon). Anyone with that link can see those settings; we do not store them in a user profile.
• Account and profile data (when signed in) — email address, display name, username, bio, profile photo, accent color, social link URLs, preferred watch country, and public or private profile setting.
• Watchlist data (when signed in) — queued and watched films with titles, runtimes, genres, poster references, and status, stored in your account so your list can sync across devices.
• Subscription and billing metadata — plan tier, subscription status, billing interval, and renewal dates processed through Stripe. Payment card numbers are handled by Stripe, not stored on our servers.
• Achievement progress (Pro) — unlock status derived from your watchlist and profile activity, used to show badges and optional email notifications.
• Theme preference — light, dark, or system theme choice stored in your browser's local storage.
• Local watchlist data (before sign-in) — if you add films before creating an account, that list may be kept temporarily in your browser until you sign in and choose how to merge it with your cloud list.

We do not intentionally collect:

• Postal addresses or government ID numbers
• Payment card numbers or bank account details (Stripe processes Pro subscription payments directly)
• Precise geolocation from your device
• Contents of private messages or files on your device
• Personal information from visitors who do not create an account, contact us, or subscribe to Pro — beyond the automatic usage data described above

Signed-in users can permanently delete their account at any time from Profile → Settings, in the Danger Zone section at the bottom of the page.

Account deletion is immediate and cannot be undone. To confirm, you must type the phrase shown in the confirmation dialog. When deletion completes, you are signed out and redirected away from your profile.

Deleting your account removes your profile, cloud watchlist, achievement progress, profile photo, and related account settings from our systems, subject to the retention exceptions below.

If you have an active Pro subscription, we attempt to cancel it when you delete your account so you are not billed again. Cancellation does not entitle you to a refund for any unused portion of your current billing period. Stripe may retain billing and payment records according to its own policies and legal obligations.

Deleting your account does not remove data already stored in your browser (for example a local watchlist or theme preference) until you clear site data in your browser. Shared links to your public profile will stop working once your account and username are removed.

You can also contact hello@moviecalculator.com to request account or data deletion if you cannot access Settings. See the Your choices and rights section below.

Signed-in users may choose a public profile at moviescalculator.com/@username. When your profile is public, visitors can see your display name, avatar, bio, social links, watchlist stats, recently watched films, and shared queue summaries you enable.

Pro members can set their profile to private so only they can view profile details. Free accounts use a public profile by default; you can change visibility in Profile → Settings.

Do not add information to your profile that you do not want others to see when your profile is public.

We and our analytics providers use cookies, local storage, pixels, and similar technologies to measure traffic and understand how the site is used.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect some site features. Where required by law, analytics may only run after you consent through your browser or applicable consent tools configured in our tag manager.

We use trusted third parties to operate and measure the site. They process data according to their own privacy policies:

• Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager (Google LLC) — website analytics and event measurement
• Stripe (Stripe, Inc.) — Pro subscription checkout and billing portal for signed-in users
• Supabase (Supabase, Inc.) — authentication, profile storage, cloud watchlist sync, and achievement notification records for signed-in users
• Loops (Loops, Inc.) — transactional email for sign-in links, Pro welcome messages, and optional achievement unlock notifications
• Ahrefs Analytics — traffic and SEO measurement
• Vercel Speed Insights (Vercel Inc.) — performance monitoring
• The Movie Database (TMDB) — movie metadata and poster images served to your browser
• JustWatch — streaming availability data referenced on some pages
• Product Hunt — optional promotional badge linking to an external page

We use collected information to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve Movies Calculator
• Understand which pages and features are useful
• Monitor performance, security, and abuse
• Respond to questions or feedback you send us

We do not sell your personal information. We do not share it with third parties for money or other valuable consideration, and we do not use your data for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Movies Calculator does not operate a data broker business and does not provide user lists, profiles, or contact details to advertisers, marketers, or other data buyers.

Our analytics and hosting providers may process limited technical data on our behalf solely to operate and measure the site, as described in the Third-party services section. That processing is not a sale of your personal information.

Analytics providers retain data according to their default retention settings (often 2–14 months for event-level data unless configured otherwise). Hosting logs are retained for a limited period needed for security and operations, then deleted or aggregated.

If you contact us directly, we keep correspondence only as long as needed to respond and maintain a record of the inquiry.

Account, profile, and watchlist data are kept while your account is active. If you delete your account from Profile → Settings or ask us to delete your data, we remove or anonymize associated profile, watchlist, and achievement records within a reasonable time, except where retention is required for billing, fraud prevention, or legal compliance.

Stripe may retain billing records according to its own policies and legal obligations after a subscription ends.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain processing of your personal information, or to opt out of certain analytics or targeted advertising.

Signed-in users can delete their account directly in Profile → Settings (Danger Zone). See the Deleting your account section above for what is removed and how subscriptions are handled.

Because we do not sell or share personal information as defined under applicable privacy laws (including the California Consumer Privacy Act and similar state laws), there is no separate “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” flow—but you can still limit analytics through our cookie preferences or your browser settings.

You can also use browser Do Not Track or global privacy control signals where supported; we honor applicable legal opt-out requirements.

To exercise your rights, request account or data deletion, or ask a privacy question, contact hello@moviecalculator.com. We will respond within a reasonable time.

Movies Calculator is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us and we will delete it.

The site is primarily intended for visitors in the United States. If you access the site from other regions, your information may be processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate, which may have different data protection laws than your home country.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information processed through the site. No method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the latest revision. Material changes will be posted on this page. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
