Privacy Policy

At CineVibes.lk, your privacy is our priority. This policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our services.

Last Updated: July 2026

Data We Collect

When you register on CineVibes.lk, we collect essential information such as your username, email address, phone number, and a unique Device ID. Your phone number and Device ID are strictly used to prevent the creation of multiple or fake accounts. We guarantee that your phone number is securely stored and will never be shared, sold, or exposed to any third parties.

Community & Comments

When you engage in our Community Hub or leave comments, we store the data shown in the post, along with your user details (username and profile picture). This helps us build a secure and interactive environment. Please avoid sharing sensitive personal information in public threads.

Media & Profile Pictures

If you upload a profile picture, we automatically compress it and store it as a secure Base64 image string on our servers. We strip all embedded location data (EXIF GPS) before saving, ensuring your physical privacy remains completely protected.

Cookies & Sessions

We use secure session cookies (via NextAuth) to keep you logged in and remember your preferences. These cookies do not track your browsing habits outside our platform. Temporary cookies are discarded once you close your browser, while login sessions persist securely.

Embedded Content

Articles and movie pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g., YouTube trailers). Embedded content behaves exactly as if you visited the other website, and those third parties may collect data or use tracking cookies according to their own policies.

How We Protect Your Data

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. Your data (including your hashed passwords) is securely stored and solely used for maintaining your account, ensuring platform security, and managing your PRO subscriptions.

Data Retention

Your profile information, account history, and community posts are retained as long as your account remains active. If an account is suspended for violating our policies, essential identifiers (like Device ID) are kept indefinitely to prevent future abuse.

Your Rights

You have full control over your data. You can update your profile, change your password, or request the deletion of your account at any time by contacting our administration. However, data required for security and administrative purposes cannot be erased.

Questions or Concerns?

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or your data, please contact our support team via Community or Email.
