Last updated: July 19, 2026

Our use of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

1. Who We Are

FlickerPlay ("FlickerPlay", "we", "us", or "our") is a video streaming platform that allows users to watch movies and TV series. Our website is accessible at https://flickerplay.devkreativ.xyz.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you use FlickerPlay, including when you sign in using Google OAuth.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

2.1 Information from Google Sign-In (OAuth)

We request only the minimum scopes necessary (profile and email). We do not request access to your Google Drive, Gmail, contacts, calendar, or any other Google services.

2.2 Information You Provide Directly

If you register with an email and password instead of Google Sign-In, we collect:

What we do NOT do:

We do not sell your personal data to any third party

Legitimate interests — to improve platform security and service quality.
Consent — when you grant us permission via Google OAuth to access your Google profile data.
Legal obligation — where required by applicable law.

5. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored on secure, encrypted servers. We implement the following security measures:

Passwords are hashed using bcrypt (never stored in plain text)
All data is transmitted over HTTPS/TLS encryption
Access to user data is restricted to authorised personnel only
Authentication tokens use short-lived JWTs with refresh token rotation
Regular security reviews and dependency updates

While we implement industry-standard safeguards, no method of transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but are committed to protecting your data to the best of our ability.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active. If you request account deletion, we will delete or anonymise your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or regulatory reasons.

Usage logs and analytics data may be retained in anonymised form for up to 12 months.
