Privacy Policy
We Value Your Privacy
WhereToWatchMovies (the "WhereToWatchMovies", "we" or "us" or “our”) values and respects your privacy. This policy demonstrates our commitment to collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing your information fairly and responsibly. This Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) applies to your use of this website (the “Site”) and our software and applications (collectively, the “Services”).
Please read this privacy policy to understand our policies and practices. If you do not agree with our privacy policy, do not use the Website or Services.
The Categories of Information We Collect
Like most websites and programs, our Services collect certain information automatically and store it in log files. This information is technical and usage information and may include internet protocol (IP) addresses, the general, non-precise location where your computer or device is accessing the internet, your browser type, operating system, and information about how you navigate the site like the times you viewed certain pages, the links you clicked on, etc.
We may use this information to improve the performance of its servers and to administer the Services. This information may also be used to analyze trends, track visitor movements, and gather broad demographic information that assists us in identifying visitor preferences. WhereToWatchMovies’s Services also use cookies. Cookies are pieces of data that a website transfers to a user’s hard drive for record-keeping purposes.
The Services do not track users when they cross to third-party websites and therefore do not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals.
WhereToWatchMovies collects technical and usage information to fulfill our legitimate interest in understanding how users use the Services, and to assist us in more effectively marketing our Services.
We may use aggregated data, de-identified data, and non-personally identifiable information about our users and disclose the results of such information to our partners, service providers, advertisers and/or other third parties for our business purposes, including to maintain and improve our Services and to provide Linked Sites (as defined in our Terms).
Sharing of Information With Others
The personal information WhereToWatchMovies collects from you is stored in one or more databases hosted by third parties located in the United States. We use such third-party services for cloud storage and retrieval purposes. On occasion, we engage third parties to send communications on our behalf as well. Furthermore, we may send your information to our third-party service providers and partners to assist us in providing the Services and in delivering Linked Sites, as defined in our Terms.
Otherwise, we do not send your personally identifiable information to third parties for their independent use unless: (1) you request or authorize it; (2) the information is provided to comply with the law (for example, to comply with a search warrant, subpoena or court order), enforce an agreement we have with you, or to protect our rights, property or safety, or the rights, property or safety of our employees or others; (3) to address emergencies or acts of God; or (4) to address disputes, claims, or to persons demonstrating legal authority to act on your behalf.
Where Your Information is Processed
WhereToWatchMovies is located in the United States. The information we collect through the Services will be processed in the United States.
The Security and Storage of Your Information
We use commercially reasonable efforts to secure your personal information. However, we cannot and do not assure that these measures will be sufficient to protect against all efforts to gain unauthorized access to the information.
Your personal data is stored on the servers of the cloud-based database management services WhereToWatchMovies engages, located in the United States. Collected data is retained only for so long as needed to fulfill the purpose for which it was provided, or as long as is necessary to for our legitimate business purposes. We may retain your information for longer periods if required by law, or in relation to legal claims.
Children’s Privacy
The Services are not intended for children under 18 years of age. No one under age 18 may provide any personal information to WhereToWatchMovies. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If you are under 18, do not use or provide any information via the Services to us. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 18 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 18, please contact us immediately.
Updates to This Privacy Policy
We will revise or update this policy from time to time. If we make significant changes to how we handle personal information, we will post changes to the policy on our site and change the date on the top of this page. We will provide additional notice in advance (e.g., a disclaimer on our website or an email) if material changes are being made.
California and Other State Privacy Rights
Certain U.S. state laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 and the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (collectively, the “CCPA”), provide residents with specific rights regarding their personal information. Depending on the state, some of these rights may include:
- Your Access Rights: You have the right to request that WhereToWatchMovies disclose the categories and pieces of personal data we collect, use, disclose, and sell, as well as the business purposes for collecting your information.
- Your Deletion Request Rights: Under certain circumstances, you have the right to request that WhereToWatchMovies delete any of your personal information that we collected from you and retained over the preceding 12 months.
- Your Opt-Out Rights: Because we may use advertising and analytics for targeted advertising purposes, you may have the right to direct WhereToWatchMovies not to “sell” or “share” your personal information at any time (the “right to opt-out”).
- Your Requests to Correct: You may have the right to request that WhereToWatchMovies use commercially reasonable measures to correct any inaccurate information that we have about you.
- Your Requests to Limit Use of Personal Information: Under certain state laws, you may direct WhereToWatchMovies to only use your sensitive personal information (if applicable) for only those purposes that are necessary to perform our Services.
- Your Right Against Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising your privacy rights, consistent with various state laws.
Before granting any request, we are required to evaluate whether the applicable request is provided for under the state laws, as some rights may apply only to residents of certain states. In addition, only you, or a person that you authorize to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information. As such, we cannot grant a request until we are able to identify which personal information is associated with you, as well as your state residency. The type of information you must provide depends on the type of request you make.
Alternatively, we may use a third-party verification service to verify your identity. We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you. You may only make a verifiable consumer request for Access twice within a 12-month period. If you believe you have a valid right to request any of the rights above, please reach out to us. To exercise the privacy rights to Access, Delete, Correct, and Limit personal information as described above, or to exercise your opt-out rights, please visit this link. Try to respond to all confirmed consumer requests within 45 days of receiving them, or as otherwise permissible under the applicable law. If we need more time, we will reach out to explain why.
Some states may allow residents to appeal a denial of a privacy-related request. If we decline to process your request, you may have a right to appeal by emailing . We may reject your request for appeal if the state in which you reside does not allow a right to appeal.
