Films Rx Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 20, 2026

Films Rx (“we,” “us,” or “our”), operated by Proteverse LLC, respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application (the “App”). Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the application.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with you or your device.

A. Personal Data You Provide

B. Data Automatically Collected

C. Data from Third Parties

2. How We Use Your Information

We process your data based on:

• Contract Performance: Providing the App functionality you requested
• Consent: Personalized advertising and optional analytics
• Legitimate Interests: Security, fraud prevention, and service improvement

Specific Uses:

3. Data Security and Encryption

We implement industry-standard security measures:

Encryption

Local Storage

We use an ObjectBox database in the App’s private storage on your device. The database itself is not encrypted; watchlist titles and poster paths are encrypted individually as described above. Notes written by older versions of the App may be stored encrypted, and the App still reads them.

Access to Your Data

If you sign in, your notes and other synced data are stored in Google Cloud Firestore. Our database rules make your personal notes readable only by your account. Other data you choose to share is readable by others: favorites you make public, your public profile alias, and reviews you post. Notes are not end-to-end encrypted; as with any cloud service, Films Rx’s service operators can technically access stored data.

4. Third-Party Services

We share data with the following service providers:

Analytics and Performance

Advertising

Note on Advertising: Under California law (CCPA/CPRA), sharing data with advertising partners for targeted advertising may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information. You can opt out (see Section 7).

Payments and Subscriptions

Backend Infrastructure

Content Providers

4A. Website, cookies and advertising

This section explains our use of cookies, advertising and analytics on the Films Rx website at https://filmsrx.com (the “Website”), in addition to the App practices described elsewhere in this policy. Advertising, analytics and consent features described below apply when the corresponding feature is enabled on the Website.

Cookies and Similar Storage

When enabled and permitted by your applicable consent choices, Google advertising and analytics features may store cookies or use browser storage. Cookies support website analytics and advertising. Our consent system also remembers your choice so that it can be honoured when you return.

In the EEA, UK and Switzerland, advertising storage, advertising user data, advertising personalization and analytics storage are denied by default before the consent message updates your choices. Elsewhere, the default state is granted, subject to the consent system’s updates and applicable opt-outs. If you do not respond, the applicable default remains in effect. Rejecting consent in the EEA, UK and Switzerland keeps these settings denied; accepting allows storage according to your choice. No analytics cookies does not mean that no analytics requests are sent: see Website Analytics below.

Website Advertising

The Website launches in house-ad mode, showing promotions for the Films Rx app without loading Google’s advertising script. Google AdSense is deferred. The following AdSense disclosure applies only once AdSense advertising is enabled.

When enabled, Google advertising loads only on pages that permit ads and after the applicable consent signal. The Website’s privacy and terms pages do not load the advertising script or display advertisements. If the consent message fails to load in a regulated region, the advertising script remains off and the applicable default consent state is retained.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to the Website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to the Website and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

The App’s Google AdMob disclosure is separate from this Website AdSense disclosure.

Website Analytics

When website analytics is enabled, we use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) through a web data stream in our Firebase project. It measures interactions with app-download links, QR codes and store redirects; advertising-slot status, including house promotions; and website performance. Event parameters describe placements, platforms, content types and title identifiers, slot status or performance measurements, as applicable. Page-template and placement dimensions help us understand where these events occur. Advertising-slot status is not a measure of advertising revenue.

GA4 uses Consent Mode v2 in Advanced mode. When analytics storage is denied, GA4 can still send cookieless pings to Google carrying the denied consent state. These requests do not require analytics cookies; denying consent to cookies therefore does not stop all analytics network requests. When storage is permitted, analytics cookies may be used. Google’s Privacy Policy describes Google’s privacy practices.

Consent and US Opt-Out Choices

When the website consent system is enabled, we use Google Privacy & Messaging, a certified consent management platform (CMP). It presents an IAB TCF consent message in the EEA, UK and Switzerland and a US state regulations message. The CMP updates the Website’s advertising and analytics consent settings, and a stored choice is honoured on a return visit.

The US “Do not sell or share my personal information” option is also available through a link in the Website footer. Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals are honoured through the CMP’s GPC support; for the US state message, an enabled GPC signal is treated as an opt-out. These Website choices are separate from the App’s device-level advertising controls described in Section 7.
