This Privacy Policy explains how Gistbox ("Gistbox", "we", "us") collects, uses, and shares your personal data when you use our website, progressive web app, and any related mobile applications (together, the "Service"). By using the Service you agree to this policy.
1. Information we collect
- Account data — name, email address, phone number, and profile details you provide when you sign up with email, phone (OTP), Google, or Facebook.
- Authentication data — when you sign in with Google or Facebook, we receive your name, email, and account identifier from that provider. We never receive your social login password.
- Usage data — series and episodes you watch, watch progress, and continue-watching history, used to power playback resume and recommendations.
- Device & technical data — IP address, device and browser type, and app version, collected to keep the Service secure and reliable.
2. How we use your information
- To create and manage your account and authenticate sign-in.
- To deliver video playback, remember where you stopped, and personalize your feed.
- To send service messages, including one-time passcodes (OTP) for phone sign-in.
- To maintain security, prevent abuse, and comply with legal obligations.
3. Sharing your information
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with service providers who help us operate the Service — including video hosting (Bunny Stream), SMS delivery for OTP, and cloud database/hosting infrastructure — and only as needed to provide the Service, or where required by law.
4. Data retention
We retain your account and usage data for as long as your account is active. You can request deletion at any time — see our Data Deletion Instructions.
5. Your rights
You may access, correct, or delete your personal data, and withdraw consent at any time. To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@gistbox.tv.
6. Children
The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect data from children.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted here with a new "Last updated" date.
