5. Third-Party Services
Watch Time relies on third-party service providers to operate certain features.
Supabase
We use Supabase for services such as authentication, database storage, and backend infrastructure.
Google services may be used for Google Sign-In and Google Play functionality.

Watch Time may use The Movie Database (TMDB) API for movie, TV show, cast, image, and related entertainment metadata.
Watch Time is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.
Vercel

Google Play Billing
If Watch Time offers paid subscriptions or other digital purchases through Google Play, purchase processing is handled through Google Play's billing services. We do not receive your full payment-card details from Google Play.
6. Data Sharing
We do not sell users' personal information.
Information may be processed by service providers acting on our behalf when necessary to operate Watch Time, such as hosting, authentication, database, email delivery, and payment-processing providers.
We may also disclose information when required by law, regulation, legal process, or a valid governmental request.
7. Data Storage and Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to protect user information.
However, no method of transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Data Retention
We retain account and Watch Time activity data for as long as the account remains active or as reasonably necessary to provide the service.
We may retain limited information for longer when required for:
- Legal obligations
- Fraud prevention
- Security

- Enforcement of agreements
Where possible, retained information that is no longer required to be linked to an identifiable account may be anonymized.
