• Room settings, recent room history, current-room presence, room invites, and related activity timestamps/state
• Real-time chat, whispers, reactions, moderation actions, and abuse reports tied to room or social interactions
• Signed-in profile data such as favorites, watch history, providers, friends, blocked users, discoverability choice, and similar sync preferences

Information We Don't Collect

• Precise location data
• Advertising identifiers or unrelated device fingerprinting data
• Media files or video streams

Legal Bases for Processing

Depending on your region and applicable law, data may be processed under the following bases:

• Performance of service (room synchronization, presence, invite delivery, and account sync)
• Legitimate interests (security, moderation, abuse prevention, and service continuity)
• Legal obligations (mandatory requests and lawful disclosures)
• Consent where required for optional discoverability, analytics, or platform-specific features

How We Use Data

We use processed data to operate synchronized rooms, optional account/profile sync, friend and invite flows, discoverability settings, and moderation or safety enforcement.

Retention and Deletion

We keep data only as long as needed for the stated purposes.

• Guest room state, temporary presence, invite-delivery state, and transient room data are removed or anonymized when no longer operationally required.
• Signed-in profile data such as favorites, watch history, friends, blocked users, providers, and discoverability settings may be retained until deletion request or account removal workflow.
• Security, moderation, and abuse records may be retained as needed for legal obligations, safety review, or incident handling.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Essential cookies may be used for core functionality such as language preference. Public marketing and legal pages may also load limited third-party analytics for traffic and performance measurement.

Data Sharing

We do not sell user data. Limited processors may handle data on our behalf, and social/profile data may be shown to room participants, friends, or discoverable users only when the relevant feature is used or enabled.

International Data Transfers

Some infrastructure, identity, analytics, or provider services may operate outside your country. In such cases, we apply data minimization and reasonable technical/organizational safeguards.

Your Rights

Subject to applicable law, you may have the following rights:

1. Know what personal data is processed
2. Request correction of inaccurate data
3. Request deletion in eligible cases
4. Object to or restrict processing where allowed
5. Request data portability where technically feasible
6. Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent

Data Security

We use secure transport, scoped access controls, and limited-retention practices for real-time sync and account-connected features.

Third-Party Content

WatchBuddy may rely on user-provided external media sources, sign-in providers, analytics services, app stores, or provider/community services. We do not control their privacy practices or availability.

Children and Parental Supervision

WatchBuddy is not intended for children without parental or legal guardian supervision. Social, chat, and external content features may expose user-generated activity that we cannot pre-screen in real time.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected here.
