Privacy Policy

Who operates this site

What To Watch is operated by L.C.Bailey. For questions about this policy or a privacy request, contact contact@wtwguide.com.

Information used by the tool

• Searches and selections. We process the titles, descriptions, runtimes, genres, services, and formats you request to return results. Searches may be sent from our server to an external catalog provider. We do not attach an account identifier, your browser cookies, or your IP address to those catalog requests.
• Voice searches. If you choose voice search, your browser or device’s speech-recognition service converts your audio into text. That service may process the audio under its provider’s privacy terms. What To Watch receives the resulting search words and does not receive or store an audio recording.
• Cached searches. We store search text and results to reuse results and reduce repeated requests. These records are not linked to a visitor account or profile. Please do not enter personal or sensitive information into a search.
• Page addresses. Some search terms and selected filters may appear in the page URL. They can therefore appear in browser history, bookmarks, shared links, and infrastructure logs.
• Technical information. Serving a page involves receiving an IP address and request information, such as a URL and browser headers. Hosting and security services may process this information to deliver and protect the site. The application does not maintain a visitor advertising profile of its own.
• Feedback you submit. A voluntary feedback message and optional reply email are sent to the operator’s private Google Sheet. We use the optional email only to reply. Cloudflare Turnstile processes technical information needed to check that the submission is not automated.
• Messages you send. If you email us, we receive your email address and the information you choose to include so we can respond.

You do not need an account. We do not ask for your address, precise location, or streaming login credentials. Selecting a service tells the tool what to show; it does not connect to your streaming account.

Cookies, storage, and external services

The application does not set its own cookies. It uses this browser’s local storage to remember the Classic or Deck layout, mobile network and genre choices, and whether the one-time swipe guide was acknowledged. These settings remain until you change them or clear this site’s browser data, and are not used for advertising tracking. Some search and filter selections may also be kept in the page URL.

We use Google Fonts to display typefaces. Your browser requests font files from Google, which receives technical request information, including your IP address. Learn more in Google Fonts’ privacy information and Google’s Privacy Policy.

Cloudflare Turnstile loads when you open the feedback form and may use browser storage and technical request information for security and fraud prevention. Catalog and schedule requests are handled on our server. Clicking a streaming or social-sharing link takes you to a separate service, whose own privacy policy and terms apply.

Google advertising

This site is configured to use Google AdSense. Google ads and advertising technology are loaded only when advertising is enabled for the site.

When Google advertising is active, third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to this website or other websites. Google and its partners may use advertising cookies to select, deliver, measure, and protect ads and, where permitted, personalize them.

Advertising services may process information such as IP addresses, browser or device identifiers, page URLs, visits, and interactions with ads. Depending on applicable law, some advertising activity may be treated as a sale or sharing of personal information or as targeted advertising, even without a direct payment for that information.

You can manage Google’s personalized advertising through My Ad Center and participating companies’ choices through YourAdChoices. See how Google uses information from sites that use its services. When applicable, Google’s configured US state privacy message provides an on-site opt-out control. See Privacy Choices for more options.

Use, disclosure, and retention

We use the information described above to provide results, operate and protect the tool, and respond to messages. It may be processed by providers supporting those functions, or disclosed when legally required.

Search caches remain until refreshed, replaced, or deleted. Feedback and email correspondence are retained as reasonably needed to respond, maintain business records, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations. Hosting and security logs follow the retention settings of the providers that operate and protect the site.

Your requests and choices

Depending on where you live and which laws apply, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of personal information, object to or restrict certain processing, withdraw consent, or opt out of sale, sharing, or targeted advertising. You may also have a right to appeal a request decision or complain to a relevant privacy authority.

Contact contact@wtwguide.com to make a request or appeal. We may ask for information reasonably needed to verify and handle it. We do not maintain visitor accounts, so we may be unable to associate a cached search with an individual. We will not require an account solely to submit a request.

Children and policy updates

This is a general-audience discovery tool, not a service directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly request personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us.

We will update this page when our practices change and revise the date above. Material changes may also be highlighted on the site.
