Privacy Policy

FreeStream World ("we", "us") operates https://freestreamworld.com. We are based in the United Kingdom. This policy explains what we collect and why.

1. Information we collect

• Account data if you sign in (name, email, user id) via Clerk.
• Saved lists if you sign in: watchlist, watched, hidden, continue watching, radio favourites, and the streaming apps you pick, stored against your account so they sync across devices.
• Public recommendations if you choose to post them (up to five titles, star rating and an optional short review). These appear on the site for everyone. We may hide or remove reviews that include swearing or abuse.
• Local storage on your device for guest favourites, custom links, region choice and cookie preferences. Guest lists stay on your device unless you sign in.
• Usage analytics (Vercel Analytics / Speed Insights) only if you accept analytics cookies.
• Title metadata requested from Watchmode and TMDB to show posters, plots and official watch links. We do not host video.

2. Legal bases (UK GDPR)

• Contract / legitimate interests — running the directory and optional accounts.
• Consent — optional analytics cookies. You can change this any time via Cookie settings in the footer.

4. Third parties

5. Your rights

You can access, correct or delete account data by deleting your Clerk account or contacting us. You can clear localStorage in your browser to remove guest favourites and custom links. You may complain to the ICO (ico.org.uk) if you are unhappy with how we handle your data.
