Effective date: September 1, 2026
FilmCatch is a location-based game for discovering and collecting movies, operated by Myers Entertainment LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“FilmCatch,” “we,” “us”). This policy explains what information we collect when you use the FilmCatch app and the filmcatch.app website, how we use and share it, and the choices you have. In summary: we collect the information needed to operate the game, your location is processed in real time and is never sold, and you may delete your account and all associated data from within the app at any time.
Location is what makes FilmCatch work: films spawn at real places around you, and the app checks whether you are within catching range. We handle it as follows:
You can withdraw location permission at any time in iOS Settings, though the map gameplay will not function without it.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for third-party marketing.
FilmCatch offers optional rewarded video ads — you may choose to watch a short ad in exchange for an in-game reward. Use of this feature is entirely optional. These ads are served by Google AdMob. When an ad is shown, Google may process device information such as your IP address and your device’s advertising identifier to serve and measure the ad, as described in Google’s Privacy Policy.
We never sell your personal information.
| Provider | What it does | Data involved |
|---|---|---|
| Supabase | Authentication, database, and file storage (hosted in the United States) | Account, profile, and game data |
| Apple | App distribution, in-app purchases, push delivery | Purchase records, device tokens |
| Expo | Push notification delivery | Push token, notification content |
| Google AdMob | Optional rewarded video ads (Section 4) | IP address, advertising identifier, device data |
| TMDB | Film titles, posters, and metadata — the app requests film data directly from TMDB’s servers | IP address and film requests (no account data is sent) |
| Sentry | Crash and error reporting | Device model, OS version, crash traces |
We keep your information while your account is active. If your account is inactive for an extended period, we may delete it after attempting to notify you at your account email address. Support communications are retained as long as needed to resolve the matter and for a reasonable period afterward. Diagnostics are retained on a rolling short-term basis.
You can permanently delete your account and all associated data at any time, from inside the app: Settings → Data → Delete account. Deletion is immediate and irreversible — your collection, currencies, profile, messages, and personal data are removed from our production systems, and residual copies in backups are purged in the normal course, typically within 30 days. Records we are legally required to keep (for example, evidence of a past purchase) may be retained where the law requires.
If you are in the EEA, UK, or a similar jurisdiction: you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to our processing of your personal data, the right to data portability, and the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority. Our legal bases for processing are performance of our contract with you (operating the game), our legitimate interests (safety, anti-cheat, and improving the Service), your consent where required (optional ads, notifications), and compliance with legal obligations.
If you are a California resident: you have the right to know, delete, and correct personal information we hold about you, and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising those rights. We do not sell personal information. To the extent optional rewarded ads involve “sharing” as the CCPA/CPRA defines it, you can prevent it by declining the iOS tracking prompt (Section 4). You can exercise these rights in the app or by emailing support@filmcatch.app.
FilmCatch is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has created an account, contact us at support@filmcatch.app and we will delete it.
We protect your information with industry-standard measures: encryption in transit (TLS), hashed passwords, row-level access controls on our database, and least-privilege access to production systems. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security; if we learn of a breach affecting your personal data, we will notify you as required by law.
We are based in the United States and process data on servers located in the United States. If you use FilmCatch from outside the US, your information is transferred to and processed in the US, where privacy laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers.
We may update this policy as the Service and the law evolve. If a change is material, we will provide reasonable notice — in the app or by email — before it takes effect. The Effective date above reflects the current version.
