Privacy Policy

The short version

Your content lives on your device and in your personal iCloud. To understand how our apps are used and make them better, we collect some usage information — in Encore, that includes your library and viewing activity. We do not sell your data, we do not run ads, and our apps contain no third-party analytics or advertising trackers; the only analytics are our own.

Who we are

Xandelea is an independent app studio operated by Peter Gray. For anything in this policy, contact us at [email protected].

This website

xandelea.com is a static site. It sets no cookies, runs no analytics, and collects no personal information. It is served by Cloudflare, which may process technical request data (such as your IP address) to deliver and secure the site.

Encore: TV & Movie Tracker

Your library lives on your device and in your iCloud. Your library — shows, movies, watch history, episode progress, ratings, and favorites — is stored on your device and synced across your devices through your personal iCloud account using Apple’s CloudKit. The app also keeps rotating local backups of this data on your device as extra protection.

We collect library and viewing analytics. To understand what people watch and improve Encore, the app sends us information about your library and viewing activity — such as the titles you add, mark watched, rate, or favorite. This is associated with your account (or an app-generated identifier if you have no account), is used only for analytics and product decisions, is never sold, and is never shared with third parties or used for advertising.

Community features are opt-in. Encore works fully without an account. If you create one (with an email address and password, or Sign in with Apple), we store on our servers: your email address, username, display name, an avatar photo if you upload one, the people you follow, comments you post, and the titles you explicitly choose to share (your favorites and currently-watching picks). Other users can only ever see what you choose to share — never your watch history, episode progress, or watchlist — and you can hide any individual title from your profile.

Location is optional. If you use movie showtimes, the app can use your location (or a ZIP code you type) to find nearby theaters. Location is sent to our showtimes data provider to answer that one query; we do not store it on our servers.

Where server data lives. Community data is stored with our hosting provider, Fly.io, in the United States, and transmitted over HTTPS. Passwords are stored only as salted hashes. Account emails (verification, password reset) are delivered via Postmark.

Catalog data comes from partners. Show and movie information is provided by TMDB, TVmaze, and JustWatch (via TMDB), and showtimes by MovieGlu. When the app fetches catalog data, those services receive the technical request (for example, the title being looked up). Encore is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.

Deleting your data. You can delete your community account at any time in Settings → Danger Zone → Delete Account, which removes your profile, follows, comments, shared items, avatar, and the analytics data tied to your account from our servers. “Delete All Tracked Items” erases your library from your devices and your iCloud. You can also email us and we will delete your account data.

Our other apps

Price Drop, LEGO Price Tracker, and Split Photo store your content on your device and in your personal iCloud. Where an app offers price alerts, the items you track and an anonymous push-notification token are processed by our servers solely to deliver those alerts. None of our apps contain ads, analytics SDKs, or data brokers.

Children

Our apps and website are not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will update this page and the effective date above. Meaningful changes to how an app handles data will also be called out in that app’s release notes.
