Privacy Policy

Entertainment Meter ("we", "our", or "us") operates the website at entertainmentmeter.com. We provide real-time entertainment intelligence by tracking public social conversations about movies and TV series.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, you can contact us at info@entertainmentmeter.com.

We do not require account registration or collect personal information directly. However, the following data may be processed:

• Usage data — pages visited, referrer URLs, browser type, and device type, collected automatically via server logs or analytics.
• Public social data — we ingest publicly available posts from X (Twitter) and YouTube comments to generate sentiment analysis and buzz scores. No private or authenticated social data is accessed.
• Search queries — search terms you enter on the site may be logged temporarily to improve result quality.

We use the data described above to:

• Display entertainment buzz scores, sentiment summaries, and trending content.
• Improve site performance and user experience.
• Detect and prevent abuse or misuse of the platform.
• Comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your data to third parties for marketing purposes.

We use the following third-party services that may process data on our behalf:

• TMDB (The Movie Database) — for movie and series metadata. Subject to TMDB's own privacy policy.
• X (Twitter) API — for ingesting public posts. Subject to X's privacy policy.
• YouTube Data API — for ingesting public video comments. Subject to Google's privacy policy.
• OpenAI — for generating AI-powered sentiment summaries. No personally identifiable information is sent to OpenAI.
• Render — our hosting provider. Subject to Render's privacy policy.
• Google AdSense — we display advertisements served by Google AdSense. Google may use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites. Subject to Google's privacy policy.

We use the following types of cookies:

• Strictly necessary cookies — a single session cookie used solely to authenticate the admin panel. These are set regardless of consent.
• Advertising cookies — when you accept cookies, Google AdSense and its partners set cookies on your device to serve personalised advertisements based on your interests, inferred from your prior visits to this and other websites. The information collected may include your IP address, browser type, and browsing activity.
• Analytics cookies — when you accept cookies, anonymised usage data (pages visited, referrer, browser type) may be collected to help us improve the site.

You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting optout.aboutads.info or Google Ads Settings. You can also manage or withdraw your consent at any time using the cookie banner at the bottom of any page. Withdrawing consent will stop non-essential cookies from being set on future visits; it does not retroactively remove cookies already placed.

Social post data ingested for analysis is retained in our database and used solely to compute aggregate scores and summaries. We do not store individual user profiles linked to posts. Aggregate metrics may be retained indefinitely.

Depending on your location, you may have rights under GDPR (EU), CCPA (California), or similar laws, including the right to access, correct, or delete data held about you. Since we do not collect personal accounts, most rights apply to usage data only.
