Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how MovieMintX (“we”, “our”, or “the site”) collects, uses, and protects information about visitors to https://moviemintx.com. By using the site you agree to this policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect two kinds of information:

• Account information — if you sign up or sign in using Google, we store your name, email address, profile photo URL, and a hashed password (for email accounts). This is used only to operate your account (watchlist, challenges, ratings, comments, badges).
• Usage information — pages you visit, approximate device type, browser, referrer, and anonymized IP. This is used to understand how the site is used and to improve it.

2. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and localStorage to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and measure site usage. Some cookies are set by us directly; others are set by third-party services listed below.

3. Google AdSense and Third-Party Advertising

MovieMintX uses Google AdSense to serve advertisements. Google and other third-party vendors, including DoubleClick, use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

Third-party vendors whose ads may appear on this site and whose cookies or web beacons may be used include, but are not limited to: Google AdSense, Google DoubleClick for Publishers, and their demand-side ad partners.

4. Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to understand traffic patterns. Google Analytics sets cookies to distinguish users and sessions. Learn more at the Google Privacy Policy. You can opt out with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

5. Third-Party Services

MovieMintX uses Google Fonts to render typography and Google Sign-In to support optional account creation. Each Google service has its own privacy policy. We may also use other industry-standard third-party services to operate the site; none of these receive your personal information beyond what is strictly necessary to provide the requested functionality.

6. Your Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

If you live in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or California, you have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information we hold about you, and to opt out of the “sale” of personal information as defined under CCPA. To make a request, email [email protected].

7. Children’s Privacy

This site is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

8. Data Security

All data is served over HTTPS. Passwords are hashed with PBKDF2. We do our best to protect personal information, but no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure.

9. Data Retention and Deletion

Account data is retained until you request deletion. To delete your account, email [email protected] from the address associated with your account.

10. External Links

Our site may contain links to external websites such as ticketing platforms, streaming services, and news publishers. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision.
