You may be able to control certain cookies or tracking technologies through your browser, device settings, app permissions, or platform privacy controls.

6. How We Disclose Information

We may disclose information in the following circumstances:

A. Service Providers

We may share information with vendors and service providers that help us operate the Service, such as hosting providers, analytics providers, customer support tools, authentication providers, cloud infrastructure providers, email providers, payment processors, and security providers.

B. Business Transfers

We may disclose information in connection with an actual or proposed merger, acquisition, financing, asset sale, bankruptcy, or other corporate transaction.

C. Legal and Safety Reasons

We may disclose information if we believe doing so is reasonably necessary to:

• comply with applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request;

• enforce our Terms or other agreements;

• detect, prevent, or address fraud, security, or technical issues; or

• protect the rights, property, and safety of Popcorn, our users, or others.

D. With Your Direction

We may share information when you direct us to do so, such as when you share a list, connect a third-party account, or use a social or referral feature.

E. Aggregated or De-Identified Information

We may use and disclose aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to:

• provide and maintain the Service;

• comply with legal, tax, accounting, and recordkeeping obligations;

• resolve disputes;

• enforce our agreements; and

• detect and prevent fraud or abuse.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of data, how sensitive it is, whether the data is needed to provide the Service, and applicable legal requirements.

8. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, such as the right to:

• know what personal information we collect, use, disclose, sell, or share;

• request access to or a copy of your personal information;

• request deletion of your personal information;

• request correction of inaccurate personal information;

• opt out of certain targeted advertising, sales, or sharing of personal information, where applicable; and

• limit the use or disclosure of sensitive personal information, where applicable.

You may also be able to update certain account information directly in the app.

To make a privacy request, contact us at privacy@popcornapp.movie. We may need to verify your identity before completing certain requests. We will not discriminate against you for exercising applicable privacy rights.

9. California Privacy Rights

If you are a California resident, you may have rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended, including rights to know, delete, correct, and opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, subject to exceptions and applicability thresholds.

Popcorn does not sell personal information for money. However, some data-sharing practices involving analytics, advertising, or referral technologies may be considered “sharing” under certain privacy laws, depending on how the Service is configured and operated.

California residents may also use an authorized agent to submit certain requests on their behalf, subject to verification requirements.

10. Children’s Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without the consent required by applicable law.

If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without legally required consent, we will take steps to delete that information as required by law.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, contact us at privacy@popcornapp.movie.

11. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. International Users

If you access the Service from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in the United States and other jurisdictions where our service providers operate.

13. Do Not Track

Some browsers and devices may transmit “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is not a universally accepted standard for responding to those signals, we do not currently respond to them unless required by applicable law.

14. Third-Party Analytics and Advertising

We may use third-party analytics and advertising tools that collect information about your use of the Service over time and across different services, subject to applicable law and platform requirements.

If tracking under Apple’s policies applies, permission must be obtained through App Tracking Transparency before tracking users across apps and websites owned by other companies.

15. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will post the updated version and revise the “Last Updated” date above. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of the updated policy means you acknowledge the updated policy.
