Privacy

Policy

At Streamlye, we believe your privacy matters. This document explains what information we collect when you use our TMDB-powered movie and TV catalog, why we collect it, and how we protect it. We keep things simple and honest - no unnecessary jargon.

01 Introduction

Welcome to Streamlye, accessible at streamlye.com. We operate a free online information catalog that shares movie and TV metadata from The Movie Database (TMDB). We do not offer streaming services. You can browse titles without creating an account or subscription.

This Privacy Policy describes how we handle information about visitors to our website. It applies to all pages, features, and services offered under the Streamlye domain. By visiting or using Streamlye, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this policy.

We are committed to processing your data in a transparent and lawful manner, consistent with applicable privacy legislation including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where relevant. If you have any questions about this policy, feel free to contact us at any time.

02 Data we collect

Streamlye does not require you to create an account to browse our catalog. As a result, the data we collect is minimal and falls into three main categories depending on how you interact with the site.

Technical data
  • -IP address (anonymized or truncated where possible)
  • -Browser type and version
  • -Operating system and device type
  • -Referring URL and exit page
  • -Date, time, and duration of visit
  • -HTTP request logs generated by our server
Usage data
  • -Pages and movie or TV show pages you visit
  • -Search queries you enter on the site
  • -Filters and genre preferences you apply
  • -Navigation paths through the catalog
  • -UI interactions on title and detail pages
  • -Aggregate statistics on popular titles
Contact form data
  • -Your name (as you enter it)
  • -Your email address
  • -The message content you submit
  • -Timestamp of the submission
  • -Provided only voluntarily by you
  • -Used solely to respond to your inquiry
Note: We do not collect payment information, government IDs, or any sensitive personal data. We do not build user profiles for advertising targeting beyond what anonymous analytics already provide.

03 How we use your data

All data we collect is used for legitimate operational purposes. We do not sell personal information to third parties and we do not use your data for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you.

Operating the service

Technical and usage data allow us to serve pages reliably, render the catalog correctly, and ensure that our infrastructure can handle visitor traffic without downtime.

Improving the experience

By understanding which movies, TV shows, and genres attract the most interest, we can prioritize catalog updates, improve search relevance, and surface trending content more effectively.

Responding to messages

Contact form submissions are used exclusively to respond to your inquiry or report. We do not use your email address to send newsletters or marketing materials unless you explicitly request it.

Security and abuse prevention

Server logs and IP data help us detect and block abusive requests, scraping bots, and potential attacks on our infrastructure, ensuring fair access for all genuine visitors.

Measuring traffic

Aggregated analytics give us an overall picture of how visitors use Streamlye, which pages they land on, and where they come from - without identifying individual users.

Serving advertising

Where advertising is enabled to keep Streamlye free, ad networks may use cookies to serve contextual or interest-based ads. This is governed by each provider's own privacy policy and subject to your consent where required by law.

04 Third-party services

Running Streamlye requires working with a small number of trusted third-party providers. Each provider receives only the data necessary for their specific role. We do not share personal data with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

Web hosting and infrastructure

Operational necessity

Our website is hosted on cloud infrastructure providers. These providers process server logs, including IP addresses and request metadata, to deliver web pages to your browser. Hosting providers are contractually bound to data processing agreements and handle data securely under applicable regulations.

Analytics

Audience measurement

We use analytics tools to measure aggregate website traffic. We prefer privacy-friendly analytics solutions that minimize or anonymize personal data collection. Where applicable, data collected for analytics purposes is not used to identify individual users.

TMDB - The Movie Database

Catalog data

Movie and TV show metadata - including titles, descriptions, cast information, release dates, and poster or backdrop images - is sourced from The Movie Database (TMDB). Image assets are loaded directly from TMDB's image servers (image.tmdb.org), which means TMDB may receive your IP address when these images load. TMDB's own privacy policy governs their data practices. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.

Advertising networks

Optional - may vary

Streamlye is a free service. To keep it free and running, we may display advertisements served by third-party ad networks. These networks may place cookies and use tracking pixels to serve contextual or personalized ads based on your browsing behavior across websites they partner with. You can opt out of personalized advertising through your browser settings, your ad network's opt-out portal, or by using a browser extension designed for this purpose.

Catalog data providers

Metadata only

Movie and TV information on Streamlye comes from The Movie Database (TMDB) and related metadata sources. We do not embed third-party streaming players or deliver video streams. Requests to those providers (for posters, titles, or other metadata) may involve technical data under their own terms. We recommend reviewing TMDB's privacy policy for details on how they process data.

05 Cookies & tracking technologies

Cookies are small text files stored in your browser. Streamlye and some of its third-party partners use cookies and similar technologies (such as local storage and pixel tags) for the purposes described below.

Essential cookies

Required for the website to function correctly. They enable basic features like navigation, session management, and security checks. These cannot be disabled without breaking the site.

Preference cookies

Store your choices - such as language or display preferences - so you do not have to re-enter them each time you visit. Disabling these may reduce the quality of your experience.

Analytics cookies

Collect anonymous data about how visitors use Streamlye, such as which pages are most visited and how users move through the catalog. This data helps us improve the site over time.

Advertising cookies

May be placed by advertising partners to deliver relevant ads and measure their effectiveness. They track browsing activity across websites to build interest profiles. Your consent is requested where required by law.

Managing cookies: You can view, block, or delete cookies at any time through your browser's settings. Most browsers allow you to refuse new cookies, delete existing cookies, or be warned before a cookie is stored. Please note that disabling non-essential cookies may affect some features of Streamlye. For more information, visit your browser's help documentation or resources like allaboutcookies.org.

06 Your rights

Depending on your country of residence, you may have certain rights regarding the personal data that we hold about you. Visitors located in the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom have rights under the GDPR and the UK GDPR respectively. Other jurisdictions may provide similar rights under local legislation such as the CCPA (California).

Right of access

You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you and information about how we process it.

Right to rectification

You can ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.

Right to erasure

Also known as the "right to be forgotten" - you may request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances.

Right to restriction

You can ask us to pause processing of your personal data while a dispute or objection is being resolved.

Right to portability

Where processing is based on consent or a contract, you may request your data in a structured, machine-readable format.

Right to object

You may object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the contact page or the email address listed in section 11. We may need to verify your identity before responding. We will aim to reply within 30 days in line with GDPR requirements. If you believe your rights have been violated, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority in your country.

07 Security & data retention

We take the security of any personal data we process seriously. Streamlye uses industry-standard security measures to protect data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include HTTPS encryption for all pages, secure server configurations, and access controls that limit who within our team can access sensitive information.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Server and access logs

Web server logs containing IP addresses and request metadata are retained for a limited period - typically 30 to 90 days - for security monitoring and debugging purposes, then automatically deleted or anonymized.

Contact form messages

Messages submitted through our contact form are retained only as long as necessary to resolve your inquiry and for a reasonable follow-up period. We do not archive contact messages indefinitely.

Analytics data

Aggregated analytics data - which contains no individually identifying information - may be retained for longer periods to help us track trends and improvements in the site over time.

Legal obligations

In some cases, applicable law may require us to retain certain data for defined periods. In such cases we will retain the minimum data required for the minimum period required and then securely delete it.

08 Children's privacy

Streamlye is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in the European Union, or such higher age as may be required by applicable local law). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has submitted personal data to Streamlye - for example through our contact form - please contact us immediately so we can identify and delete that information. We will take prompt action upon receiving a verified request.

Some titles listed in our catalog may be intended for mature audiences. We encourage parents to supervise children's online activity and use available parental control tools to restrict access to age-inappropriate content.

09 International data transfers

Streamlye is accessible worldwide, and some of the third-party services we use - including hosting providers, analytics platforms, and TMDB - may store or process data in countries outside your country of residence, including countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA to countries that have not been recognized as providing an adequate level of data protection, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, or we ensure that the recipient operates under a recognized adequacy decision.

By using Streamlye, you acknowledge that your data may be processed in countries with different data protection standards than your own. We take reasonable steps to ensure that any international transfers are protected by appropriate legal mechanisms.

10 Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the law, our data practices, or the features of Streamlye. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date shown at the top of this page.

We encourage you to review this page periodically so you are aware of how we handle your information. If we make material changes - meaning changes that significantly affect your rights or how we process your data - we will make reasonable efforts to notify you, for example by placing a prominent notice on the homepage.

Continued use of Streamlye after any changes to this Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. If you disagree with the updated policy, please stop using the site and contact us to exercise any applicable rights regarding your data.
