Phosphor — Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 31, 2026
Phosphor is a personal movie and TV tracking app. This policy explains what data we collect, why, and your rights.
What we collect
- Account: your email address and display name, provided when you sign in with Google or Apple.
- Your tracking data: the movies, shows, and episodes you add, mark as watched, or skip; your watchlist; your streaming-service and notification preferences.
- Notifications (optional): if you enable push notifications, a device push token (Firebase Cloud Messaging) so we can deliver them.
- Error reports: when an error occurs in the app or on our server, we record technical details about it (the error type and where in the app it happened, the last few screens and requests without title identifiers or search terms, your operating system and app version, and an internal account identifier — never your email, your name or the content of your data) so we can fix it. We use Sentry running on infrastructure in the EU for this; no third party receives these reports, and we keep them for at most 90 days.
- Feedback (optional): if you send feedback from the app, we receive the text you write, the category, the screen you were on, and your platform and app version. A screenshot is attached only when you switch “Attach a screenshot” on — the app takes it at that moment, you see it before sending, and you can turn it off again. Feedback is filed under a short pseudonymous id, never under your name or email.
- Activity: the time of your last sign-in and the day you last used the app, so we can count how many people use Phosphor and recognise inactive accounts. Deleting your account removes these too.
Why we use it
Solely to provide the app: your account, your personal tracking, notifications you opt into, and fixing what you report. We do not use your data for advertising, and the app runs no third-party analytics.
Website (getphosphor.app)
Our public website uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to count visits. It sets no cookies, does not fingerprint your device, and does not collect personal data — we see aggregate numbers only (page views, country, browser type). When you follow a store link on the site, our server records an anonymous count (which store, device type, language, time) — no IP address or identifier is stored. None of this applies to the app itself.
Sharing
We do not sell your data or share it with third parties for their own purposes. We rely on service providers to run the app: Google and Apple (sign-in), Firebase Cloud Messaging (notification delivery), and TMDB (public movie/TV metadata — we do not send your personal data to TMDB). Feedback you send is handled in YouTrack, our own issue tracker on our server in the EU, where it is stored with the pseudonymous id; a Slack notification tells us that new feedback exists (its type and a link) and carries no name, no text and no screenshot.
Storage & retention
Your data is stored on our servers in the EU and encrypted in transit (HTTPS). Your account and tracking data are kept while your account is active. Feedback screenshots are deleted after at most 90 days. When you delete your account, the feedback record and any screenshot are deleted with it; the issue in our tracker remains for as long as we work on it, under a pseudonym that can no longer be linked to anyone.
Your rights
You can access, correct, or delete your data. To delete your account and all data tied to it, open Settings → Delete my account in the app — the deletion is immediate and permanent. You can also request deletion by e-mail at [email protected]. EU users have rights under GDPR.
Children
Phosphor is not directed at children under 13.
