Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

Flickjar is operated by The Core Apps LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company. You can reach us at support@thecoreapps.com.

2. Data We Collect

We collect only what's needed to run the core app, plus optional data that powers AI features when you've opted in.

3. What We Do Not Collect

Flickjar does not request or collect:

• Precise or approximate location
• Your contacts, address book, or social graph
• Photos, camera, or microphone input
• Financial, payment, or credit information
• Health or fitness data
• Browsing history from outside the app
• Device advertising identifiers (IDFA, AAID)
• Third-party analytics SDKs — if this ever changes, we will update this policy before enabling any

4. How We Use Your Data

We use your data for three purposes, and only these three:

• Core app experience: authentication, watchlist, watch history, ratings, search, and saved preferences.
• AI recommendations (only with your explicit consent): genre preferences, watch history, ratings, and mood/time/companion selections are sent to the Anthropic Claude API to generate personalized picks. Anthropic processes this data to return a response and does not retain it to train their models. You can revoke AI consent any time in Settings.
• Aggregated product improvement: we may analyze non-identifying usage patterns (e.g. how many users skip vs. save). We do not build individual user profiles for advertising or marketing.

5. Third-Party Services

Flickjar relies on a small number of third-party services to operate. Here's exactly what each one receives:

Supabase — Database and authentication

Supabase stores your account data, ratings, watchlist, watch history, and preferences on our behalf. Supabase does not use your data for its own purposes. supabase.com/privacy

Anthropic — AI recommendations

When you opt in to AI features, Anthropic's Claude API receives your genre preferences, ratings, recently watched titles, and concierge mood/time/companion selections. Anthropic processes this to return a recommendation and does not retain the data for model training. Requests are sent without your account identifier — Anthropic does not know which Flickjar user the data belongs to. You can revoke consent at any time in Settings. anthropic.com/privacy

TMDB — Movie and TV metadata

Flickjar uses the TMDB API to fetch titles, posters, descriptions, and streaming availability. We send only search queries and title IDs — no personal data is shared with TMDB. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB. themoviedb.org/privacy-policy

Apple — Sign in with Apple

If you sign in with Apple, Apple provides us with your email (or a private relay address) and a unique user identifier. No other data is shared. apple.com/privacy

6. Data Sharing and Selling

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We do not share your data with advertising networks, data brokers, or marketing platforms. Your data is shared only with the services listed in Section 5, strictly to operate Flickjar.

7. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your data while your account is active. You can permanently delete your account and all associated data at any time from Settings. Deletion is irreversible and removes your profile, watch history, ratings, reviews, watchlist, preferences, push tokens, and any cached AI recommendation data.

If you revoke AI consent without deleting your account, we immediately stop sending data to Anthropic and clear any cached AI recommendations on your device.

8. Data Security

All data in transit is encrypted with TLS/SSL. Data at rest is encrypted via Supabase. API keys and service credentials are kept server-side and are never embedded in the client app. Row-level security ensures each user can only access their own data.

9. Your Rights

• Access: view the data we hold about you directly in the app.
• Correct: update your email, name, and preferences in Settings.
• Delete: delete your account and all associated data at any time.
• Revoke AI consent: toggle off AI recommendations in Settings.
• Export: email support@thecoreapps.com to request a data export.

If you live in the European Economic Area (EEA), you additionally have the right to restrict or object to processing and to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

10. Children's Privacy

Flickjar is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with data, please contact support@thecoreapps.com and we will delete it.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect new features or legal requirements. For material changes we will notify you in the app or update the effective date at the top of this page. Continued use of Flickjar after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
