Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 9, 2026
CineMood doesn't require an account and we don't ask for your name or email. This policy explains what limited information is collected when you use the site.
Information We Process
Mood assessment answers. Your answers are sent to our server and to an AI provider (OpenAI) to generate movie recommendations. We don't link them to your identity.
Usage data. We use analytics (PostHog and Vercel Analytics) to understand how the site is used, such as pages viewed, assessment progress, and button clicks, along with technical data like browser type and approximate location derived from your IP address.
Local Storage & Cookies
We keep a short list of recently recommended movies in your browser's session storage so you don't see the same suggestions repeatedly. It is cleared when you close the tab. Our analytics tools may also use cookies or similar technologies to recognize repeat visits.
How We Use Information
We use this information to provide recommendations, maintain and improve the service, and understand which features are useful. We don't sell your personal information.
Third-Party Services
We rely on OpenAI (recommendations), TMDB (movie data), Watchmode (streaming availability), PostHog and Vercel (analytics and hosting). Each processes data under its own privacy policy.
When you click a link to a streaming service, you leave CineMood and that service's privacy policy applies.
Data Retention
We don't store your assessment answers in a database. Analytics data is retained according to our analytics providers' settings.
Children's Privacy
CineMood is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from them.
Your Choices
You can block cookies or use a browser extension or "Do Not Track" setting to limit analytics. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access or delete your data; contact us to make a request.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date above shows when it was last revised.
