Privacy Policy

How we handle and protect your ratings and personal data.

Last updated: August 2026

1. Overview

Rovie is built with privacy in mind. Your ratings belong to you. We do not sell your personal information or track your browsing activity across other websites.

2. Stored on Your Device

By default, your ratings, hidden movies, and temperature preferences are stored locally in your browser (LocalStorage). You can discover movies and explore recommendations without ever creating an account or transmitting personal identifying data.

3. Optional Account Sync

If you choose to create an account or sign in with Google/Email, your ratings and saved lists are securely synchronized via Rovie Cloud to enable multi-device continuity. You can export or clear your ratings at any time from your Profile.

4. TMDB API & Third-Party Services

Movie metadata, posters, and cast information are fetched via The Movie Database (TMDB) API. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB. No personal user data is shared with TMDB.

5. Cookies & Local Storage

Rovie uses essential local storage keys for interface preferences (language, temperature, session tokens for authenticated sync). We do not use cross-site tracking cookies.

6. Your Rights & Data Export

You retain full ownership of your taste data. You can export your complete library to CSV or delete your ratings at any time directly through the interface.

7. Contact & Inquiries

For privacy questions or support regarding your data, contact us through the in-app feedback widget or email support [at] rovie.ai.
