Privacy Policy

DATENSCHUTZERKLÄRUNG (GDPR / DSGVO)

1. Controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:
Shahrier Erfan Harun, Oppelner Str. 134, 53119 Bonn, Germany
Email: plotrewind.app@gmail.com

2. Overview

This website is a recap service for TV shows and movies. No user account is required, and no analytics, advertising, or tracking services are used. The website itself does not set any cookies.

3. Server log files (hosting)

When you visit this website, the hosting provider automatically processes information that your browser transmits (IP address, date and time, requested page, browser type). This data is technically necessary to deliver the website and keep it secure (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR).

Hosting provider: Vercel Inc., 440 N Barranca Ave #4133, Covina, CA 91723, USA. When the website is accessed, data may be transferred to servers in the USA. More information: vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy

4. Storage of your consent choice (local storage)

Your decision about loading YouTube videos (accept or decline) is stored locally in your browser (local storage, key “pr-yt-consent”). This is a technically necessary storage without any tracking (§ 25 (2) TDDDG). You can delete it at any time by clearing your browser data.

5. YouTube videos

To show official recap videos, we embed videos from YouTube (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). Videos are only loaded after you have given consent — either via the consent notice or by clicking “load video” on an individual video (Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR, § 25 (1) TDDDG). When a video loads, data (including your IP address) is transmitted to Google, and data may be transferred to the USA. We use YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com). You can withdraw your consent at any time by deleting the stored choice in your browser data. More information: policies.google.com/privacy

6. Content from The Movie Database (TMDB)

Posters and still images are loaded directly from servers of TMDB (TiVo Platform Technologies LLC). When your browser fetches these images, your IP address is transmitted to TMDB (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR — legitimate interest in displaying the content).

7. AI-generated recaps

The text recaps are generated server-side from publicly available plot summaries (Wikipedia and TMDB) using AI services: Groq (Groq, Inc., USA), with Google Gemini (Google Ireland Limited) as a backup. No personal data of visitors is transmitted to these services or to Wikipedia — the requests contain only show and movie information.

8. Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right of access (Art. 15), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20), and the right to object to processing (Art. 21). You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR).
