Privacy Policy

CriticCrunch does not require an account and does not ask you to provide profile or payment information to use the site.

If you contact us by email, we receive your email address, the contents of your message, and any other information you choose to include. We use this information only to respond to you.

When you visit CriticCrunch, we and our service providers may automatically collect limited technical and usage information, including pages viewed, approximate location derived from an IP address, browser and device information, referral source, and dates and duration of visits. This information may be associated with cookies or pseudonymous identifiers and does not directly identify you by name.

CriticCrunch uses browser local storage to save preferences such as selected streaming services, watched titles, and feature inputs like MoodMatch selections. This information stays on your device unless you clear it.

CriticCrunch and its service providers may also use cookies for analytics, site operation, and remembering your cookie consent choice.

CriticCrunch uses Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use the site and to improve performance and features.

Google Analytics uses cookies and pseudonymous identifiers to distinguish visitors and sessions and provide aggregated usage reporting. Microsoft Clarity collects interaction data such as clicks, scrolling, navigation patterns, and technical device information.

These providers process information under their own terms and privacy policies.

We use information to operate and improve CriticCrunch, remember user preferences, understand how features and pages are used, diagnose errors, protect the site from abuse, respond to messages, and comply with legal obligations.

We may disclose information to providers that help us operate CriticCrunch, including hosting, analytics, and security providers. We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect CriticCrunch or others, or support a business transfer such as a merger or sale.

CriticCrunch does not sell personal information for money. CriticCrunch does not use personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy. Retention periods may vary by service provider and type of information.

You can clear or block cookies and local storage through your browser settings at any time. Doing so may remove saved preferences or affect certain features.

You may also manage analytics cookies through the cookie consent banner displayed on the site. If you decline analytics cookies, Google Analytics and Microsoft Clarity will not be activated.

CriticCrunch links to streaming services and other third-party websites. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not this one.

CriticCrunch is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can address it.

CriticCrunch does not sell personal information for money and does not use personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
