Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 11, 2026. This policy describes how ShortReel ("we") collects and uses your data across our website and mobile apps.

Data we collect

• Account data — email address and display name when you create an account (guests are assigned an anonymous ID).
• Activity data — series you watch, favorites, watch progress and unlock history, used to power Continue Watching and recommendations.
• Purchase data — coin packages and subscriptions you buy. Card details are processed by our payment providers (Stripe, Apple, Google) and never touch our servers.
• Device data — basic diagnostics needed to operate the service.

How we use it

• To operate the service: playback authorization, coin wallet, purchases.
• To personalize: continue watching, recommendations, relevant offers.
• We do not sell your personal data.

Advertising

Rewarded ads (watch an ad, earn coins) may be served by third-party ad networks. On iOS we request App Tracking Transparency permission before any cross-app tracking; declining never affects your reward. In the EEA/UK we collect consent through a consent management dialog before personalized ads are shown.

Data retention & deletion

Your data is retained while your account is active. You can delete your account — including coins, unlocks, history and favorites — at any time from the app (Profile → Delete account) or on the web at shortreel.example/account/delete. Deletion is permanent and takes effect immediately.

Children

ShortReel features mature drama content and is not directed at children under 16. We comply with platform age-rating and age-signal requirements.
