Information used by the tool

• Searches and selections. We process the titles you search for and your genre, service, and format selections 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.
• 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 the title search.
• Page addresses. Search terms and selected filters 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 current application does not maintain a visitor analytics profile.
• Feedback you submit. When the feedback form is configured, its voluntary 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 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 today

The application does not set its own cookies. It stores your Classic or Deck browsing layout preference in this browser’s local storage so it can remember that layout. This preference remains until you change it or clear this site’s browser data, and is not used for advertising tracking. Search, genre, service, and format selections are 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.

Catalog requests are handled on our server. Clicking a streaming link takes you to a separate service, whose own privacy policy and terms apply. The destination may collect information about your visit.

Planned Google advertising

Google AdSense is not currently active. This section explains the advertising we plan to introduce, rather than claiming that advertising cookies are already running here.

When Google advertising is enabled, third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s advertising cookies enable Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this site and other sites on the Internet.

Advertising services may process information such as IP addresses, browser or device identifiers, page visits, and interactions with ads for ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention, and, where permitted, personalization. Depending on applicable law, some advertising disclosures may constitute a sale or sharing of personal information or 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. These external settings do not replace any consent or opt-out controls required on this site.

Before activating advertising, we will update this policy to reflect the services actually enabled and provide applicable consent and privacy controls. See Privacy Choices for the current status.

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 currently remain until refreshed, replaced, or deleted; a daily refresh is not a daily deletion of search text. The application does not currently impose an automatic age-based deletion period on all cached searches. Hosting logs and email records have separate retention settings that will be specified when the production providers are selected.

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.
