Privacy Policy

Effective date: 15 October 2026

1. Who we are

Aflamek is a catalogue of movies, series and anime. You can browse titles and trailers, rate, review and discuss them, share short clips, follow other members and request titles. This policy covers the Aflamek website (aflamek.com) and the Aflamek apps for iOS and Android ("the Service").

The Service is run by Salwan Nayyef, an individual developer based in Iraq, who is responsible for your personal information (the "data controller"). Contact: support@aflamek.com.

2. What we collect

Information you give us

• Account details: name, username, email address, password, date of birth and gender.
• Social sign-in: if you sign in with Google or Apple, the provider sends us a sign-in token and the name and email address you allow it to share. Apple may give us a relay address instead of your real email.
• Profile: photo, bio, links to your social profiles, and your privacy settings.
• What you post: ratings, reviews, comments, likes, favourites, subscriptions, follows, the members you block (mute), clips and content requests.
• Emails you send us.

Information collected automatically

• A session token that keeps you signed in (a cookie on the website, secure storage in the apps), and your language choice.
• On the website, a random identifier in your browser's local storage, used only to count each clip view once per device.
• The app version, the store the app came from, and your language, sent with each request.
• Which clips you have viewed and how you interact with content.
• Server logs: IP address, time of request, the page or endpoint requested, and device or browser type.
• If you allow push notifications: a device push token and a Firebase installation ID.

We do not buy information about you from anyone.

3. How we use it

• To create and run your account, sign you in, and send account emails such as activation and password reset.
• To publish what you post, show your public profile, and hide content from members you have blocked.
• To recommend clips, using your date of birth, gender and viewing activity.
• To send push notifications, if you allow them.
• To count clip views, keep the Service secure, prevent abuse and fix problems.
• To answer your emails and meet legal obligations.

If you are in the EU or UK, our legal bases are: our contract with you (running your account and publishing your content); our legitimate interests (security, abuse prevention, clip recommendations and view counts, which you can object to at any time); your consent (social sign-in, push notifications, optional profile details); and legal obligations.

4. Device permissions

The apps may ask for:

• Notifications, to send push notifications. Asked after you sign in. You can turn them off at any time in your device settings.
• Photos, to let you choose a profile picture or a clip to upload. We only receive the items you pick.

The website does not ask for any device permissions.

5. Services we use

• Google Sign-In and Sign in with Apple, only when you choose to use them.
• Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google), to deliver push notifications.
• The YouTube embedded player (youtube-nocookie.com), which loads only when you open a trailer.
• Hosting providers that run our servers and deliver images and clips on our behalf.

These providers handle information under their own privacy policies: Google, Apple. The Service contains no third-party analytics, crash-reporting or advertising tools.

6. Sharing

We do not sell your personal information or share it for advertising. We share it only:

• publicly, when you post reviews, comments or clips, or keep a public profile;
• with the providers in section 5, so they can run their part of the Service;
• when the law requires it, or to protect the safety of our members or others;
• with a new owner if the Service is transferred, who must keep to this policy.

7. Tracking and ads

We do not track you across other companies' apps or websites, we do not collect advertising identifiers, and we do not show third-party ads. The clips feed may include promotional items that we place ourselves.

8. How long we keep it

• Account and profile data: while your account exists.
• Session: until you sign out, or up to 360 days on the website.
• Server logs: for a limited period for security and troubleshooting, then deleted.
• Emails: as long as needed to handle your request.

We may keep some information longer where the law requires it.

9. Deleting your account

• In the app or on the website: open your account, choose Delete account and confirm. Your account is deleted immediately.
• On the web, without the app: go to aflamek.com/delete_account and enter your username or email and your password.
• By email: write to support@aflamek.com from the address on your account.

If you signed up with Google or Apple and have no password, use the in-app option or email us.

When your account is deleted, your profile (name, username, email, photo, bio, links, date of birth and gender) is removed and you can no longer sign in. If you signed in with Apple, we also revoke Aflamek's access to your Apple account. Your reviews, comments, clips, likes and other activity are deleted too.

10. Security

We use encrypted connections (HTTPS), store sign-in tokens securely on your device, and limit who can access personal information. No system is completely secure. If a breach affects you, we will tell you as the law requires.

11. Your rights

You can access, correct, export or delete your information, object to or restrict how we use it, and withdraw consent at any time. You can edit most profile details yourself and set your lists to public or private in your privacy settings. For anything else, email support@aflamek.com. We reply within one month. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.

12. Children

You must be at least 13 to use the Service. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13, and we delete any such account we find. To report one, email support@aflamek.com.

13. International transfers

Your information may be stored and processed outside your country, including by the providers in section 5.

14. Changes

When we change this policy we update the effective date above, and we tell you in the Service about significant changes. The current version is always at aflamek.com/privacy-policy/aflamek.
