Privacy Policy
How Cineby handles privacy, preferences, and the minimal data involved in streaming.
Last updated: November 2026
Information We Collect
Cineby is designed with privacy-first principles. We do not require registration to browse or view content on our site.
If you optionally create an account, we collect only your chosen username, display name, and securely hashed password. We never ask for sensitive payment data, credit card information, or real-world addresses.
Local Storage and Cookies
We utilize browser cookies and HTML5 LocalStorage to remember your playback preferences (such as selected video server, subtitle language, volume level, and client-side watchlist synchronization). You may clear your browser cookies or storage at any time via your browser settings.
Third-Party Services
Cineby uses The Movie Database (TMDB) API for movie and television metadata, summaries, cast listings, and posters. External video player embeds may be served by third-party providers who manage their own terms and privacy practices.
Data Security
We implement industry-standard encryption practices (HTTPS/TLS) across all communications. User authentication sessions utilize signed, tamper-proof JSON Web Tokens (JWT) stored with secure cookie flags.
