Privacy Policy for KinoPro
This Privacy Policy describes how KinoPro ("the App", "we", "us") collects, uses, and shares information when you use our mobile application.
1. Information We Collect
Account Information: If you create an account, we collect the email address and password you provide. Your password is never stored in plain text. This information is securely stored by our backend provider, Supabase, and is used to enable sign-in, verify your email address, and send you account-related emails (such as email confirmation and password reset codes).
Usage Data: We do not run any analytics or tracking software in the App. Your favorites, viewing history and settings are stored only on your device and are never uploaded to us. We do not build a profile of your activity and we do not track you across other apps or websites.
Mood Radar / AI Input: If you use the "Mood Radar" feature, the text you enter describing your mood or preferences is sent to a third-party AI service (Groq or OpenRouter, depending on your selected model) for processing, in order to generate personalized movie recommendations. This text is processed to generate a response and is not used by us for any other purpose.
Purchase Information: If you purchase KinoPro PRO+ or a credits pack, the transaction is processed entirely by Apple's App Store. We do not collect or have access to your payment card details. We only receive confirmation that a purchase was completed, which we use to activate your PRO+ status or credits within the App.
2. Third-Party Services
This App uses the following third-party services to provide its core functionality:
Supabase: We use Supabase as our backend provider to securely store account information (email, hashed password) and authenticate users. For more information, see Supabase's Privacy Policy: https://supabase.com/privacy
Resend: We use Resend to deliver transactional emails, such as email confirmation and password reset codes. Your email address is shared with Resend solely for the purpose of delivering these emails. For more information, see Resend's Privacy Policy: https://resend.com/legal/privacy-policy
The Movie Database (TMDB): We use the TMDB API to retrieve movie and TV show information, including titles, descriptions, ratings, posters, and streaming availability. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB. For more information, see TMDB's Privacy Policy: https://www.themoviedb.org/privacy-policy
Groq: We use Groq's AI API to process user-submitted text (in the Mood Radar feature) and generate movie/show recommendations. For more information, see Groq's Privacy Policy: https://groq.com/privacy-policy/
OpenRouter: We use OpenRouter's AI API as an alternative provider to process user-submitted text (in the Mood Radar feature) and generate movie/show recommendations. For more information, see OpenRouter's Privacy Policy: https://openrouter.ai/privacy
Apple (In-App Purchases): Purchases made within the App are processed by Apple through the App Store's in-app purchase system, governed by Apple's own privacy practices. For more information, see Apple's Privacy Policy: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/
3. Data Storage
The only personal data we store on a server is your account information (email address and hashed password), held by our backend provider, Supabase. Everything else — favorites, viewing history, settings and your PRO+ status on the device — is stored locally on your device and is removed when you delete the App. We do not sell or rent your personal data to any third party.
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. Data is only shared with the third-party services listed above (Supabase, Resend, TMDB, Groq, OpenRouter, Apple) as necessary to provide the App's features.
5. Subscriptions, Cancellation and Refunds
How billing works: KinoPro PRO+ is an auto-renewing subscription, offered monthly or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically at the same price at the end of each period unless you cancel it at least 24 hours before the period ends. The credits pack is a one-time purchase and does not renew.
How to cancel: You can cancel at any time in Settings → Apple Account → Subscriptions on your device, or from the "Manage Subscription" button inside the App. Cancelling is managed entirely by Apple — we cannot cancel a subscription on your behalf, because Apple does not give apps that ability.
What cancelling does: Cancelling stops future renewals. It is not a refund: PRO+ remains active until the end of the period you have already paid for, and that payment is not returned. For example, if you subscribe on the 8th of a month and cancel on the 10th, PRO+ stays active until the 8th of the following month, and then simply stops renewing.
Refunds: All payments are processed by Apple, so refunds are handled by Apple and are subject to Apple's own policies. We do not receive your payment directly and cannot issue, approve, or deny a refund. To request one, visit reportaproblem.apple.com and sign in with the Apple Account used for the purchase.
Restoring purchases: If you reinstall the App or switch to a new device, use the "Restore Purchases" option in the App to bring back an active PRO+ subscription purchased with the same Apple Account.
6. Children's Privacy
KinoPro is rated 17+ on the App Store and is not intended for children. The App presents an unfiltered film and TV catalogue, which includes titles with mature themes, violence and strong language, so it is not directed at anyone under 17. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13; if you believe a child has provided us with such information, contact us and we will delete it.
7. Your Rights
You may delete your account and associated data at any time through the App's Settings by using the "Delete Account" option. This permanently removes your account and its data from our backend, as well as any locally stored data, and this action cannot be undone. You may also stop using the App at any time, which will remove locally stored data from your device.
Deleting your account does not cancel an active subscription — subscriptions are tied to your Apple Account and must be cancelled separately, as described in section 5.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
