Compliance & User Transparency
Privacy Policy
Last Updated: February 2026 • Valid for CineLix Android Application
1. General Audience & Child Privacy (COPPA Declaration)
The CineLix Android application is intended exclusively for general audiences aged 13 and above (and legal adults for mature entertainment categories). The app is not directed toward children under the age of 13, in strict compliance with the United States Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), EU GDPR-K, and global digital privacy frameworks. We do not knowingly collect, store, or process personal information from minors.
2. Information We Collect and Process
CineLix collects minimum necessary information strictly required to operate streaming functionality, account authentication, and customer notifications:
- Account Credentials: If you voluntarily register an account, we store your email address, name, cryptographically hashed passwords, and profile reviews.
- Device Push Tokens (FCM): We collect temporary Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) tokens to deliver release schedule reminders and missing content notifications requested by the user.
- Search Diagnostics: Queries resulting in zero hits are stored with an anonymous device identifier so our team can license and upload the requested media.
- IP Address & Network Logs: Processed temporarily for DDOS mitigation, rate-limiting protection, and country-level geo-routing.
3. What We Do NOT Collect
To safeguard user anonymity and device integrity:
- No GPS or Precise Location Tracking: We never request, access, or log your phone’s GPS permissions (`ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION` / `ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION`).
- No Microphone, Camera, or Contacts Access: The app does not inspect address books, phone calls, or local files outside its own cache directory.
- No Financial Data: CineLix is 100% free and does not process debit/credit cards or bank details.
4. Advertising Partners & Analytics
To maintain free server infrastructure and bandwidth, CineLix works with compliant third-party monetization and analytics platforms (including InMobi, Google Firebase, and Unity). These SDKs may process non-sensitive device identifiers (such as Android Advertising ID, screen resolution, operating system version, and general city/country IP location) to deliver relevant advertisements. You can reset or opt out of personalized ad tracking anytime in your phone’s Settings → Google → Ads → Delete Advertising ID.
5. Local Storage & Offline Caching (Room Database)
The app stores movie titles, episode guides, and posters inside an encrypted internal SQLite Room database on your device. This cached catalog remains strictly private within the application’s sandboxed storage and is never transferred to unauthorized external parties. Users can clear this data instantly in their phone’s App Info → Storage → Clear Storage.
6. Third-Party Media Content Disclaimer
CineLix functions as an automated indexing directory and does not host, upload, or encode proprietary media streams on its central database servers. All video playback embeds and download links originate from non-affiliated, third-party storage hosts. CineLix adheres to international DMCA safe-harbor standards and honors valid copyright inquiries within 24 hours.
7. User Rights & Data Deletion
Under applicable data protection laws (including GDPR and CCPA), you have the right to request access to or permanent deletion of your account, email records, and associated reviews. To request complete removal of your profile from our systems, contact our administrative desk at support@cinelix.store or submit an inquiry through our in-app Contact Channel.
