PRIVACY POLICY _ CINE BOX
Effective date: Nov 02, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Cine Box handles information when you use the application.
Cine Box helps users discover movies and TV shows, explore ratings and details, watch available trailers, find streaming availability, and manage a personal watchlist. Cine Box does not stream or download full movies or TV episodes.
1. INFORMATION STORED ON YOUR DEVICE
Cine Box does not require an account.
The application stores the following information locally on your device:
- Your watchlist and saved title information.
- Favorites and watched status.
- Recent searches.
- Appearance preferences, including System, Dark, and Light mode.
- Your manually selected availability country.
- Your personalization preference.
- A limited history of titles opened in the app, when personalized recommendations are enabled.
This information supports the app’s features and helps personalize recommendations. CineScope does not upload your complete watchlist or title-view history to a developer-operated server.
Local storage does not mean that all app activity remains on your device. Searches, content requests, advertisements, and video playback involve the third-party services described below.
2. MOVIE AND TV INFORMATION
Cine Box uses The Movie Database, known as TMDB, to retrieve movie and TV information, artwork, search results, recommendations, and related content.
When you use these features, requests to TMDB may include:
- Search terms you enter.
- Movie, TV show, or person identifiers.
- Selected genres, sorting options, and page numbers.
- Recommendation seed title identifiers.
- Your selected availability country and streaming-provider filters.
- Network information, such as your IP address.
The app does not send its complete local title-view history to TMDB.
Streaming-availability information is provided through TMDB using data powered by JustWatch. Availability depends on the selected country and may change. The app does not use GPS to select your availability country.

3. ADVERTISING AND GOOGLE SERVICES
Cine Box integrates Google AdMob and the Google Mobile Ads SDK to display banner, native, and interstitial advertisements.
Google and its advertising service providers may collect or process information such as:
- IP address, which may be used to estimate general location.
- App and advertising interactions, such as launches, taps, impressions, and video views.
- Device, app, and SDK information.
- Diagnostic and performance information.
- App set identifiers and other identifiers available under the applicable device settings, SDK configuration, and consent choices.
This information may be used to deliver and measure advertisements, understand performance, prevent fraud, and maintain service security.
The current application configuration removes the Android Advertising ID permission and Android AdServices permissions. This does not prevent all other advertising-related data processing.
Where required and supported by the configured Google consent service, the app presents privacy messages or consent choices. An advertising privacy-options entry is available in the app when Google’s consent SDK indicates that it is required.
The availability and personalization of advertisements depend on factors including your region, consent choices, device settings, and Google’s advertising configuration.

4. YOUTUBE TRAILERS AND PREVIEWS
Cine Box uses the official YouTube embedded player to display available trailers and previews. You may also choose to open a video in YouTube or your browser.
When a YouTube player loads or you open YouTube externally, Google and YouTube may process information such as your IP address, device and browser information, cookies or similar technologies, and playback interactions.
Where supported, Android WebView media-integrity features may provide YouTube with app information, including the package name, version, signing-certificate information, and a device-attestation token.
YouTube’s processing is governed by its own terms and Google’s Privacy Policy. Video availability and permission to play a video inside the app are controlled by YouTube and the video owner.

5. PERSONALIZED RECOMMENDATIONS
When personalized recommendations are enabled, CineScope uses locally stored title interactions and saved favorites to identify genre preferences.
The app may send a selected title identifier or genre filters to TMDB to request recommendations or similar titles. It does not upload the complete local title-view history.
You can turn off personalized recommendations in the app’s settings. Doing so clears the locally stored title-view history and stops personalized learning and requests.
You can also clear the title-view history separately. Saved favorites remain unless you remove them and may influence recommendations while personalization is enabled.
General “More like this” suggestions may still be available independently of personalized recommendations.
6. PERMISSIONS
Cine Box uses internet and network-state access to retrieve content and communicate with its service providers.
Advertising-library dependencies also include normal Android wake-lock and foreground-service permissions. CineScope does not implement its own continuously running foreground service.
The current version does not request access to:
- Your precise device location.
- Camera or microphone.
- Contacts, SMS messages, or call logs.
- Your personal photo library or shared storage.
- Notification permission.
A service provider may still estimate general location from your IP address without access to GPS.
7. YOUR CHOICES AND DATA DELETION
You can manage locally stored information through the app’s controls, including:
- Removing titles from your watchlist.
- Updating favorites and watched status.
- Clearing recent searches.
- Clearing title-view history.
- Disabling personalized recommendations.
- Clearing the watchlist, searches, and title-view history together.
Some preferences, such as appearance and availability country, remain when you clear your collection.
You can delete app-local information and caches using Android’s “Clear storage” or “Clear app data” controls. Uninstalling the app generally removes its locally stored information.
CineScope does not provide cloud synchronization or a developer-operated backup of your watchlist.
Deleting local app data does not automatically delete information already processed by Google, YouTube, TMDB, or other external services. Their privacy policies and privacy controls govern that information.
8. INFORMATION YOU SEND BY EMAIL
If you contact the app operator by email, your email address and the information you include will be used to respond to your request and provide support.
Please do not send passwords, API keys, payment information, or other unnecessary sensitive information.
Support correspondence is retained only as reasonably necessary to handle the request, maintain relevant support records, and meet applicable legal obligations.
9. DATA SHARING
The app operator does not sell your locally stored watchlist or title-view history.
However, using online features involves transmitting information to the third-party services described in this policy. Advertising-related processing may qualify as sharing, targeted advertising, or similar activity under some privacy laws.
Third-party services handle information under their own privacy policies and applicable contractual and legal requirements.
Information provided directly to the app operator may also be disclosed where reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to a valid legal request, or protect users and the service.
10. RETENTION, SECURITY, AND INTERNATIONAL PROCESSING
Local app records remain on your device until you remove them, clear app data, or uninstall the application. Title-view history is limited in size, and older entries may be replaced as new interactions are recorded.
Third-party services determine their own retention periods.
Cine Box uses HTTPS for its online service connections. No storage or transmission method can guarantee absolute security.
Third-party providers may process information in countries outside your country of residence, subject to their privacy policies and applicable legal safeguards.
11. YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or portability of personal information, or to object to certain processing.
You may also have rights to withdraw consent or opt out of certain advertising-related processing where applicable. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal.
For records stored only on your device, the app operator cannot remotely access or delete those records. Use the app or Android deletion controls described above.
For information controlled by third-party providers, you may need to use their privacy controls or contact them directly.
You may contact the app operator using the email below to ask about applicable rights. Where applicable, you may also lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.
12. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
CineScope is a general movie and TV discovery application and is not designed as a child-directed service.
Movie artwork, descriptions, trailers, and advertisements may not be suitable for all ages. Parents and guardians should supervise children’s use and consider the application’s published age rating.
The app operator does not knowingly request personal information directly from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to the app operator, please contact the email below so the matter can be reviewed.
13. EXTERNAL LINKS
Cine Box may contain links to YouTube, TMDB, streaming-service information, and other external websites.
Their content, privacy practices, subscriptions, and charges are controlled by their respective operators. Review their policies before using their services or submitting information.
14. CHANGES TO THIS POLICY
This Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect changes to the application, service providers, or legal requirements.
The revised policy will be published at the app’s privacy-policy link. Where required, material changes will be communicated through an appropriate notice or updated consent request.
