Data we use
Account data
If you sign in, we use the minimum account information needed to recognize you and connect your rooms, history, and preferences.
Room and activity data
We process the name you use in a room, the room code, selected filters, readiness, room membership, likes and passes, matches, and the movie or series details needed to show and save short-lived history.
Recommendation preferences
For signed-in members, we keep a minimal preference record containing a Trakt title identifier, whether it was liked or passed, its genres, its release year, and the time of the latest swipe. This prevents passed titles from appearing again and helps order a shared room deck.
Technical and security data
We process limited request and device information when it is needed to keep rooms working, prevent abuse, and diagnose failures.
Why we use it
- To create rooms, verify membership, and keep participants synchronized.
- To record private swipes and calculate unanimous matches.
- To provide short-lived room history to signed-in members and recent guests.
- To avoid titles a signed-in member has passed and improve shared room recommendations.
- To secure the service, apply rate limits, and investigate technical problems.
- To load the movie and series information shown in the product.
We do not sell personal data or use individual swipes for advertising.
What other participants see
People in your room can see your chosen display name, whether you are ready, and whether you remain in the room. They cannot see your individual likes or passes.
Signed-in members’ preferences can influence the shared order of titles, but the service does not identify whose history affected a recommendation.
When everyone currently in the room likes the same title, the title is revealed as a group match. Match history may be available to eligible room members during the retention period.
How long data is kept
24 hoursLive rooms and their operational membership and swipe data expire.
1 hourGuest access to saved history expires. Guest-specific saved swipes are removed after the guest is no longer active.
3 daysSaved room history expires from the room’s creation time.
Account lifetimeMinimal recommendation preferences and passed-title identifiers remain until the account is deleted or you ask us to erase them.
Expired security records are removed automatically. A host can also permanently delete an ended room’s history from the History page before the automatic deadline. Some records may be kept longer only when required for account security or legal obligations.
Your choices
You can leave a live room, sign out, ask the host to delete an ended room’s history, or ask us to reset your recommendation preferences. Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal data.
