Privacy Policy

Last updated: Sep 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how TVEngine.ai ("TVEngine," "the Service," "we," "us") collects, uses, discloses, and protects information when you visit or use the Service at tvengine.ai. By using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with it, please discontinue use of the Service.

1. Information We Collect

TVEngine.ai is designed to be used without creating an account, so the information collected is intentionally limited. Depending on how you use the Service, we may collect:

  • Usage Data: Anonymous or pseudonymous information about how you interact with the Service, such as pages and titles viewed, filters and mood tags selected, features used, search queries entered, referring/exit pages, and time spent on the site.
  • Log and Device Data: Standard technical information automatically recorded by our servers and infrastructure, including IP address, approximate location derived from IP address, browser type and version, operating system, device type, screen size, and the date and time of each visit. This is used for security, fraud prevention, and operational purposes.
  • Contact Information: If you reach out through the Contact page or by email, we collect your name, email address, and the contents of your message, along with any other information you choose to provide.
  • Cookies and Similar Technologies: Small data files and comparable tracking technologies used to operate and improve the Service. See Section 4 for details.

We do not require or knowingly collect sensitive personal information (such as government ID numbers, financial account details, or precise geolocation) through the Service.

2. How We Use Your Information

Information collected through the Service is used to:

  • Operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Service and its features.
  • Understand aggregate usage patterns and trends to inform product decisions.
  • Personalize the discovery experience (e.g., mood- or genre-based filtering) during your session.
  • Respond to inquiries, feedback, and support requests submitted through the Contact page.
  • Detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, abuse, security incidents, and technical issues.
  • Comply with applicable legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Use.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.

3. Third-Party Streaming Platforms and Links

TVEngine.ai displays discovery information about titles available on third-party streaming platforms and links out to those platforms so you can watch content there. TVEngine.ai does not control, and is not responsible for, the privacy practices, data collection, or security of any third-party streaming platform. Once you leave TVEngine.ai and land on a streaming platform's website or app, that platform's own privacy policy governs your interaction with it — not this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any third-party platform you visit.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. We and our service providers may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies for purposes such as:

  • Essential/functional: Remembering preferences (such as selected filters or display settings) and enabling core site functionality.
  • Analytics and performance: Understanding how visitors use the Service so we can identify issues and improve performance.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may limit or affect the functionality of the Service. Where required by law, we will request your consent before setting non-essential cookies.

5. Third-Party Analytics and Service Providers

We may use third-party analytics and infrastructure providers (such as web analytics tools and hosting providers) to help operate the Service and understand how it is used. These providers may collect information directly through their own cookies or similar technologies, subject to their respective privacy policies. We only share the minimum information necessary for these providers to perform their functions, and we require that they use it solely to provide services to TVEngine.ai.

6. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not share your personal information with third parties except in the following circumstances:

  • Service Providers: With vendors who perform services on our behalf, such as hosting, infrastructure, analytics, and email delivery, under confidentiality and data-processing obligations.
  • Legal Requirements: When required to do so by law, regulation, legal process, or valid governmental request, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of TVEngine.ai, our users, or the public.
  • Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to standard confidentiality arrangements.
  • With Your Consent: In any other circumstance where you have given explicit consent to share your information.

7. No Sale of Personal Information

TVEngine.ai does not sell personal information for money. To the extent that certain analytics or advertising-related cookies could be interpreted as a "sale" or "share" of personal information under applicable state law (such as California's), you may opt out as described in Section 4 and Section 14.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Aggregated or de-identified data that can no longer be used to identify you may be retained indefinitely for analytics and product-improvement purposes.

9. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Any transmission of information to the Service is done at your own risk.

10. International Data Transfers

TVEngine.ai is operated from the United States. If you access the Service from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States or other jurisdictions that may have data protection laws different from those in your country. By using the Service, you consent to this transfer, storage, and processing.

11. Automated Processing and AI-Generated Recommendations

TVEngine.ai uses automated and AI-assisted processes to analyze and tag content by mood, tone, genre, and related attributes, and to generate discovery recommendations. These processes operate on content metadata, not on sensitive personal information about you, and are not used to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects concerning you. Recommendations are provided for informational and entertainment purposes only.

12. Children's Privacy

TVEngine.ai is not directed to, and is not intended for use by, children under the age of 13 (or the applicable minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under that age. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can investigate and, where appropriate, promptly delete that information.

13. Your Privacy Rights (General)

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding the personal information we hold about you, which may include the right to:

  • Know what personal information we collect, use, and disclose, and why.
  • Access a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal information.
  • Request deletion of your personal information, subject to certain exceptions.
  • Opt out of certain uses or disclosures of your personal information.
  • Not be discriminated against for exercising any of these rights.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us. We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.

14. California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), gives you additional rights, including the right to know what personal information is collected, used, disclosed, or sold/shared; the right to delete personal information; the right to correct inaccurate personal information; and the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and the use of sensitive personal information. TVEngine.ai does not sell personal information for monetary consideration. To submit a request under the CCPA/CPRA, please contact us.

15. Other U.S. State Privacy Rights

Residents of certain other U.S. states with comprehensive privacy laws (such as Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and others) may have similar rights to access, correct, delete, and obtain a copy of their personal information, and to opt out of certain processing such as targeted advertising or profiling. Where applicable, we will honor these rights consistent with the requirements of your state's law. To submit a request, please contact us.

16. European Economic Area, UK, and Swiss Users (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we process personal information on the basis of legitimate interests (operating and improving the Service), your consent (for example, for non-essential cookies), and compliance with legal obligations, as applicable. You have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal information, and the right to data portability, subject to applicable law. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority. To exercise these rights, please contact us.

17. Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" signal. There is currently no industry-standard interpretation of these signals, and the Service does not currently respond to Do Not Track browser signals. You may still control tracking through the cookie and browser settings described in Section 4.

18. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. We will post the updated policy on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Material changes may be highlighted through additional notice where appropriate. Your continued use of the Service after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
