Privacy policy
Updated 16 October 2026
This policy tells you which data Reelist uses, where that data goes, and how you can delete it. It applies to the Android app, the iOS app, and the web version.
In short
•
Reelist has no accounts. You do not sign in.
•
Reelist shows no ads.
•
Reelist uses no analytics and no crash reporting.
•
Your watchlist and your settings stay on your device.
•
Reelist does not sell data, and it does not share data for advertising.
Data on your device
Reelist keeps these items in the storage of your device. On the web, it keeps them in the storage of your browser:
•
The films in your watchlist, with the details that the watchlist shows.
•
Your choice of light, dark, or system appearance.
•
Your preferred film language.
•
The country for the streaming services, if you choose one.
Reelist reads the country from your device settings to show the streaming services for that country. This country does not leave your device.
To delete these items, clear the watchlist in the app, or uninstall the app. On the web, clear the site data in your browser.
The Reelist server
Reelist gets film data through a small server on Vercel. The server sends each request to TMDB and returns the answer.
A request contains only what the screen needs: for example a film number, your search text, or a language filter. It contains no name and no account.
To stop misuse, the server counts the requests from each IP address. Upstash Redis keeps this count for about two minutes, and then deletes it.
The server keeps a copy of each answer for up to about one hour, so that the same request is faster the next time. The copy contains film data only.
Vercel can keep request logs, with IP addresses, for a short time. The Vercel privacy policy applies to these logs.
Vercel privacy policy
TMDB
The film data and the images come from TMDB, The Movie Database. Your device loads the posters and the photos directly from TMDB, so TMDB receives your IP address.
TMDB privacy policy
YouTube
Reelist plays trailers in a YouTube player. Reelist loads YouTube only when you open a trailer. YouTube and Google can then collect data, as the Google privacy policy tells.
Google privacy policy
App updates
Each time the Android app or the iOS app starts, it asks the Expo update service for a new version.
This request contains your IP address, the platform, the app version, and a random number for the installation. The number does not identify you.
The web version does not send this request.
Expo privacy policy
The web version
GitHub Pages hosts the web version. GitHub receives your IP address when your browser loads a page.
GitHub privacy statement
Links and sharing
Some buttons open other sites: a streaming service page on TMDB, a trailer on YouTube, or the source code on GitHub. The privacy policy of that site applies.
When you share a film, your device shows its own share sheet. Reelist does not see where you send the link.
Permissions
The Android app asks for network access only. Reelist does not use your location, your contacts, your photos, your camera, or your microphone.
Children
Reelist is not made for children under 13. Reelist does not knowingly collect data from children.
