Privacy

Last updated 6 September 2026

Rwnd is local‑first. The free app has no account, no sign‑up, and no server holding your viewing history. What you log stays on your device.

What Rwnd stores on your device

Your watches, ratings, game statuses, the titles and people you’ve looked at, the copies and machines you own, and your settings are saved in local storage on your phone. None of it is transmitted anywhere unless you turn on Backup.

What Rwnd does not do

• No analytics, tracking pixels, advertising identifiers, or third‑party trackers.
• No selling or sharing of personal information.
• No location, contacts, photos, or microphone access.
• No account or email address required to use the free app.

TMDB

When you search for a film or open a title, Rwnd requests that title’s information from TMDB (The Movie Database). Those requests carry the search text and title identifiers, along with the ordinary network information any web request includes. Rwnd does not send TMDB anything about you, your ratings, or what you own. TMDB’s handling of requests is governed by their privacy policy.

Where Rwnd shows rent or buy availability for a title you don’t own, that data is provided by JustWatch through TMDB.

Which country’s rent and buy prices you see is decided on your device. Rwnd asks TMDB for every country at once and picks yours locally, so your region is never sent as part of the request.

RAWG

Games come from RAWG rather than TMDB, which has no games in it. When you search for a game, open one, or ask for something similar, Rwnd requests that information from RAWG. Those requests carry the search text and game identifiers, along with the ordinary network information any web request includes. Rwnd does not send RAWG anything about you, your ratings, or what you own.

Where Rwnd shows where to buy a game, those store links also come from RAWG. Following one takes you to that shop, which is then dealing with you directly.

Backup (optional, paid)

If you choose to purchase Backup, Rwnd creates an account with an email address and password so your library can be restored on another device. In that case:

• Your email address is stored to identify your account and let you sign back in.
• Your library — watches, ratings, and owned copies — is stored so it can be restored.
• Authentication and storage are handled by Google Firebase. Your data is kept under your account and is not readable by other users.
• Your email is used only for sign‑in and account recovery. Rwnd does not send marketing email.

Purchases are processed by the App Store or Google Play. Rwnd never sees or stores your payment details.

Purchases

Whether you have bought Rwnd Pro is tracked by RevenueCat, which sits between Rwnd and the two app stores. If you have a Backup account, RevenueCat is given your Rwnd account identifier so Pro follows you rather than the handset — that identifier is not your email address and not your library. RevenueCat also receives the purchase receipt the store issues.

Family sharing

Backup lets a household share one collection. What is shared is what you own. Your ratings and watch history are never shared and are not readable by anyone you share with — that is enforced by the database rules, not only by the app.

To invite someone you enter their email address, which is stored so they can be matched to their account when they sign in. Leaving a shared collection takes nothing away from you: your watches and ratings were always yours and always separate.

Sharing a title

Sharing a film, show or game creates a link to a page on rwnd.app. That page looks the title up in TMDB or RAWG and shows it to whoever opens it. The link contains the title and nothing else — not your rating, not your library, and nothing identifying you. Opening one is an ordinary visit to rwnd.app.

Deleting your data

Uninstalling the app removes everything stored on your device. If you have a Backup account, you can delete it and its stored library from within the app, which permanently removes it from our systems. Full instructions, including what to do if you can no longer reach the app, are on the delete your account page.

Children

Rwnd is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that affects how your information is handled, the updated date above will change and the app will note it.

Questions about this policy or your data can be sent through the contact form. The terms of use cover everything else.
