Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 8, 2026
Feel It Stream is built with privacy in mind. This policy explains exactly what data we collect, why, how long we keep it, and what your rights are.
TL;DR: no ads, no trackers, no data selling. You can delete your account and all your data at any time from the app or by emailing us.
1. Data Controller
The data controller for your personal data under GDPR is:
2. Data we collect
We only collect data necessary to operate the service. None of it is used for advertising or behavioural tracking.
- AccountEmail, name (optional), profile picture (optional), password hashed with bcrypt if you use password authentication.
- User contentMovies and TV shows you mark as watched, your watchlist, favourites, reviews and ratings you publish, watch dates.
- Social interactionsList of users you follow and who follow you, votes (upvotes / downvotes) on reviews, reports, blocks.
- PreferencesInterface language (FR or EN), profile privacy settings (public / private), notification preferences.
- Technical dataInternal account identifier (User ID), push notification token (Device ID, only if you enable notifications), in-app interactions (taps on titles) for app functionality.
- Activity logsFor security (anti-spam, anti-abuse), some actions (login, registration) are logged with your IP address, anonymised to IPv4 only. Access restricted to administrators.
Important: we use NO advertising SDKs, NO third-party analytics tools (no Google Analytics, no Facebook Pixel, etc.), NO behavioural trackers.
3. Mobile app
The iOS and Android app collects the same data as the web version, plus a few platform-specific items:
- Sign in with GoogleIf you sign in with Google, we receive your email, name, and profile picture from Google. No other Google data is requested. You can revoke this access at any time from your Google account.
- Sign in with AppleIf you sign in with Apple (iOS), we receive your email (or a private relay email if you choose) and your name (only on first sign-in). Apple does not share your Apple ID with us. You can revoke access from Settings → Apple ID → Sign in with Apple.
- Push notificationsIf you enable notifications, a unique device token (APNs on iOS / FCM on Android) is stored to deliver notifications. This token is only used for notification delivery and is removed if you disable notifications or uninstall the app.
- Device permissionsPhotos / Camera: only requested if you choose to set a custom profile picture. The image is uploaded to our servers and associated with your account. No continuous access to your photo library.
4. Lawful basis & purposes
Per GDPR Article 6, here are the lawful bases we rely on:
- Performance of contractAccount data (email, name, user content) is necessary to provide the service you requested by creating an account.
- Legitimate interestActivity logs (with anonymised IP) protect the service against spam, fraud and attacks. This interest is balanced against your right to privacy.
- ConsentPush notifications require your explicit consent via the iOS/Android system prompt. You can withdraw this consent at any time from device or app settings.
5. Third-party services
We rely on the following services. No personal data is shared with them unless stated otherwise:
- TMDB (The Movie Database)API used to fetch movie and TV show metadata (titles, posters, synopses). No user data is sent to TMDB.themoviedb.org/privacy-policy

- Vercel + MongoDB AtlasThe web app is hosted on Vercel (USA / EU, GDPR-compliant). The database is on MongoDB Atlas (EU). All connections are TLS-encrypted.
6. Retention & deletion
We only keep your data as long as necessary:
- Active accountAs long as your account is active, your data is kept to provide you the service.
- Activity logsLogs containing anonymised IPs are kept for a maximum of 12 months for security purposes, then deleted automatically.
- Read notificationsNotifications marked as read are automatically deleted 2 days after reading.
- Account deletionYou can delete your account at any time from Settings → Delete account (mobile and web). Deletion is immediate and irreversible: reviews, watchlist, history, follows, votes, blocks, reports, and push token are erased.
7. Push notifications
Push notifications (new follower, new review from someone you follow, vote on your review) are only sent if you explicitly accepted the system permission prompt. You can disable them at any time from app settings or your device system settings. When you disable them, your token is removed from our servers.
