Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 2026
This policy covers WatchBridge TV (Android TV / Google TV / Fire TV) and WatchBridge Mobile (Android phones/tablets) — two apps sharing one account and one backend, referred to together below as "the app".
What the app does
The app detects a recommendation you select on your device's launcher, identifies the title, and opens it directly in a third-party player app you've chosen yourself (Nuvio, Stremio, Plex, Jellyfin, WuPlay, or Wholphin). It does not host, stream, or provide any movies, series, or other audiovisual content itself.
Data we collect
- Email address — used only to verify your subscription/license and to link it across your devices. We never see or store your payment details: those are handled entirely by Stripe (sideload version) or Google Play Billing (Play Store version).
- Device identifier and device name — an Android system ID (not tied to your Google account) and a human-readable name like "Chromecast with Google TV", so you can recognize and manage your own linked devices.
- Watch activity you generate through the app — titles you open, add to "My list", or that get resolved via a recommendation click — used to power optional features like History, Continue Watching, and "Recommended for you", and to sync that across your own devices.
- Referral codes — your own code and, if you enter one, the friend's code, to track the referral program.
We do not collect contacts, location, microphone/camera data, or browsing history outside the app. We do not run any advertising or analytics SDKs.
Third parties involved
- The Movie Database (TMDB) — receives the recommended title's text to identify the exact movie/show. No account or personal data is sent.
- Stripe (sideload version) or Google Play Billing (Play Store version) — process payments directly; we never receive your card details.
- Vercel and Upstash — host the backend and the small database that stores the data listed above.
- GitHub — hosts the APK downloads for the sideload version (no personal data involved in a download itself).
Data retention and deletion
Removing a device from "Manage devices" unlinks it immediately. To delete your account data entirely (email, linked devices, watch history), contact us at the email below and we'll remove it — usually within a few days.
Children's privacy
The app is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect data from children.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes materially, the "Last updated" date above will change accordingly.
