Privacy Policy
Last updated September 2026
The short version
Bree-ah identifies films and shows from what you show it. We never keep the photos, sound or clips you capture. We keep your account details, and a record of which titles you identified, so your history and watchlist work.
What we collect
- Account details: your name, email address and a one-way hash of your password. We never see or store your password itself.
- Identification history: for each identification, the time, whether it matched, which title it matched and how confident the match was. Not the capture.
- Watchlist: the titles you save, and when you marked them watched.
- Sign-in sessions: when each device signed in and was last active, and its browser description, so you can review and sign out devices in Settings.
- Settings: the country you chose for streaming availability, if any.
What we don't keep
Photos, audio and video you capture or upload are decoded in memory, used to find a match, and discarded when the request ends. They are never written to our storage. Our index contains perceptual hashes and audio fingerprints of catalogue titles, which cannot be used to rebuild any image or sound.
If a recording contains speech, it is transcribed in memory so it can be compared with subtitle text. The words heard are shown to you with the result and then discarded; they are not saved to your history or anywhere else.
How we use it
- To run your account: sign-in, history, watchlist and dashboard.
- To send account email: address confirmation, password resets and security notices. We don't send marketing email.
- To keep the service fair and secure, for example by limiting how often a device can try to sign in.
- To measure matching accuracy, from counts that aren't tied to your account.
Third parties
Title information, poster images and "where to watch" data come from TMDb, with streaming data by JustWatch. Poster images load from TMDb's servers, which will see your IP address. We don't sell your data or share it with advertisers.
Your choices
- Remove single history entries, or clear your whole history, at any time.
- Delete your account from Settings. Your account, sessions, history and watchlist are removed immediately.
- Questions: contact [operator contact email].
