RepCinema App — Privacy Policy
Last updated: 10 September 2026
WHO WE ARE
RepCinema is an app listing repertory cinema screenings in London. This policy explains what we collect when you sign in and use it. It covers the app only — the repcinema.com website is separate.
The data controller is New Wave IT Services FZCO. For anything in this policy, including requests to see or delete your data, contact contact@repcinema.com.
WHAT WE COLLECT
When you sign in with Google, Google tells us your email address and your Google account identifier. Depending on your Google settings we may also receive your name and profile picture. We never see your Google password, and we cannot access your Gmail, Drive, contacts or any other Google service — the app only asks for your basic profile and email.
When you save a screening to your watchlist, we store the film title, the venue, the screening date and when you saved it, linked to your account so it appears on your other devices.
When you redeem a voucher code, we record which code was used, when, and by which account.
Technical records. Our hosting providers keep standard server logs, which include IP addresses, for security and diagnosing faults.
WHAT WE DO NOT COLLECT
No analytics or tracking. There is no Google Analytics, no advertising network, no third-party tracker and no behavioural profiling in the app.
No payment details. Where a subscription is offered in future, payment is handled entirely by Google Play or the Apple App Store. Card details never reach us.
No location data. Venue listings are the same for everyone; the app does not ask for or use your device location.
We do not sell or share your data with anyone for marketing.
WHY WE HOLD IT, AND ON WHAT BASIS
We hold your account and watchlist so we can identify you, honour your subscription or voucher, and keep your saved screenings in sync across your devices. The legal basis is performance of a contract — you cannot have an account-based service without an account.
Technical logs are kept on the basis of legitimate interests: keeping the service secure and working.
COOKIES
The app sets cookies only to keep you signed in. They are strictly necessary for the service to function and are not used for analytics or advertising, which is why you are not asked to consent to a banner of optional cookies. Signing out clears them.
WHO ELSE PROCESSES YOUR DATA
We use three service providers, each acting on our instructions:
• Google — handles sign-in. Google's own privacy policy (policies.google.com/privacy) covers what Google does with your account.
• Supabase — hosts the database holding your account and watchlist.
• Vercel — hosts and serves the app.
WHERE YOUR DATA IS STORED
Your account and watchlist are held in a database in London, in the United Kingdom.
RepCinema is operated by New Wave IT Services FZCO, which is based in the United Arab Emirates, so your data may be accessed from there in the course of running and supporting the service.
HOW LONG WE KEEP IT
Watchlist entries are kept indefinitely, including for screenings that have already happened, so you have a record of films you were interested in and have seen. They are not deleted automatically when the month ends.
Your account is kept for as long as you use the app. If you ask us to delete it, we remove your account and everything attached to it, including your whole watchlist.
YOUR RIGHTS
Under UK data protection law you can ask us to:
• show you the personal data we hold about you
• correct anything that is wrong
• delete your account and data
• give you a copy in a portable format
• restrict or object to how we use it
Email contact@repcinema.com and we will respond within one month. There is no charge.
You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office, the UK regulator, at ico.org.uk — though we would appreciate the chance to put things right first.
CHILDREN
The app is not aimed at children and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 13.
CHANGES
If we change how we handle your data we will update this page and change the date at the top. Significant changes will be notified in the app.
