Late Show

Privacy Policy

Late Show helps you find something to watch and keep track of your movies and shows. This policy explains, in plain language, what information the app handles, why, and the choices you have. Late Show has no ads, no analytics and no tracking.

Using Late Show without an account

You can browse, search and save movies without signing up. Without an account, your saved titles, notes, stamps, shelves and settings are stored only on your iPhone and are never sent to us.

If you create an account

An account is optional. It is needed to back up and sync your collection between devices and to join or host a watch party.

When you create an account we store your email address and a password (stored only as a secure hash by our database provider). We also store the collection you choose to sync: saved titles, viewing dates, rating stickers, notes and quotes, physical copies, lending entries and custom shelves.

We use this information only to provide these features to you. We do not sell it, share it for advertising, or use it to build a profile of you.

Watch parties

When you host or join a watch party, the other people in that party can see your display name (the part of your email address before the @), your likes and passes on the titles in that party, and the chat messages and reactions you send in that party.

Party information is visible only to members of that party. Parties can be joined only with their invite code and stop accepting new members after 24 hours.

Late Show does not connect to Netflix or any other streaming service. The countdown only helps everyone press play at the same time in their own app.

Purchases

The Collector's Edition is a one-time purchase processed by Apple. We never see or store your payment details.

To confirm and restore your purchase we use RevenueCat, a purchase-management service. RevenueCat receives an anonymous app user ID (or your account ID if you are signed in) and the purchase receipt from Apple, so your purchase can be verified and restored on your devices.

Movie and TV information

Movie and TV data and artwork come from TheTVDB. To show titles, the app requests data from TheTVDB, including what you browse or search for. These requests do not include your account, email or any information that identifies you.

Trailers open on YouTube, which has its own privacy policy.

Service providers

Supabase (database and sign-in) stores account and synced collection data and watch-party data.

RevenueCat (purchase verification) processes purchase receipts and an app user ID.

Apple processes payments under Apple's own privacy policy.

TheTVDB provides movie and TV data and receives title requests without personal information.

These providers process data only to run the service for us.

Device permissions

Late Show does not ask for access to your location, contacts, photos, camera or microphone.

Keeping and deleting your data

We keep account and collection data for as long as your account exists. Watch-party data is kept only as long as needed to run the party.

You can delete your account at any time in the app under Settings → Delete Account. This permanently deletes your account, your synced collection and your watch-party memberships and messages. Data stored only on your iPhone is removed when you delete the app.

You can also ask us to access, correct or delete your data by emailing vikingershaker@gmail.com.

Children

Late Show is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example in the EU, UK or California), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your personal data, and to object to or restrict its processing. Contact us to use any of these rights. We process account data to provide the service you asked for (performance of a contract).

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update the date below and, for significant changes, let you know in the app.
