35mm
Privacy Policy
The short version. 35mm stores what you choose to put in it: your profile, what you log and post, and who you follow. We use that data to run the app. We don't sell it, we don't show ads, and we don't use analytics or tracking SDKs.
This policy covers the 35mm iOS app and this website (together, "35mm", "we", "us"). If you have a question it doesn't answer, email support@35mm.contact.
What we collect
Account information
- Your email address and a password. The password is stored only as a secure hash by our authentication provider. Your email is used to sign you in and for account messages. It isn't displayed in the app.
- Your username, and optionally a display name, profile photo and bio.
What you create
- Films and shows you log, with ratings and review text.
- Posts you publish on Explore, including thoughts, hot takes, reviews, critiques and discussions.
- Photos and voice notes you attach to reviews.
- Comments, replies, likes, reactions and agree/disagree votes.
- Your Top 3, favorite actors and directors, and the badges you earn.
Your connections
- Who you follow, who follows you, and pending follow requests.
- Accounts you block. Only you can see your block list, and the person you block isn't told.
- Notifications generated by that activity (for example, "liked your review").
Reports
- If you report a post, we store the report, the reason you chose, and your account, so we can review it.
What we don't collect
- No location, contacts, advertising identifiers or browsing history.
- No third-party analytics, advertising or crash-reporting SDKs.
- We don't track you across other companies' apps or websites.
Device permissions
35mm asks for these only when you use a feature that needs them. You can turn them off at any time in iOS Settings.
- Photos and camera: to set a profile photo or attach photos to a review.
- Microphone: to record a voice note on a review. Recording starts only when you tap record, and stops when you tap stop or after 10 seconds.
How we use it
- To run the app: show your profile, deliver your posts to the people who can see them, and send you notifications.
- To keep 35mm safe: review reported content and act on accounts that break the rules.
- To respond to you when you contact support.
We don't sell your personal information, share it for advertising, or use it to build advertising profiles.
Who can see what
- Your profile (username, display name, photo, bio, Top 3, favorites and badges) is visible to other 35mm users.
- Explore posts are public to everyone on 35mm, along with their comments and vote counts. Who voted which way is not shown.
- Your logs and reviews appear in your followers' feeds and on your profile.
- As we add features like watchlists and lists, each will show its own visibility setting where one applies.
Service providers
We rely on a small number of providers to run 35mm. They process data only to provide their service to us.
- Supabase: hosts our database, authentication and file storage. Your account, content and uploads are stored there.
- The Movie Database (TMDB): provides film and show information and artwork. The app loads posters and images directly from TMDB's servers, so TMDB receives standard request information such as your IP address. We don't send TMDB your account or activity.
- YouTube: trailer thumbnails load from YouTube's image servers, and trailers play in YouTube's embedded player in its privacy-enhanced mode. YouTube receives standard request information such as your IP address, and Google's Privacy Policy applies when you play a video. We don't send YouTube your account or activity.
- JustWatch: where-to-watch information comes from JustWatch, through TMDB. We don't send JustWatch anything about you.
- Vercel: hosts this website.
This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.
How long we keep it
We keep your data for as long as your account exists. If you delete a post, comment, photo or voice note, it's removed from our database and storage. Backups kept by our hosting provider expire on their own schedule, generally within 30 days.
Deleting your account
You can delete your account in the app: go to your profile, tap the gear, then Delete account. It happens straight away and removes your profile, logs, posts, comments, votes, follows, blocks, photos and voice notes.
If you can't sign in, email support@35mm.contact from the address you signed up with and we'll delete it for you within 30 days.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export or delete your personal information, or to object to how we process it. Most of your information can be edited directly in the app. For anything else, email us and we'll help. We won't treat you differently for making a request.
Children
35mm isn't meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child under 13 has an account, contact us and we'll delete it.
Security
Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). Access in our database is limited by row-level security rules, so each account can change only its own content. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information and will notify you if a breach affects you.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. If the change is significant, we'll also tell you in the app.
