Privacy Policy

Effective Date: June 30, 2026

Watchphrase.com (“we,” “our,” “us”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, how we use it, when we share it, how long we keep it, and what choices you have when you use the Service.

The data controller responsible for your personal data is Pavel Brovko, an individual based in Armenia. You can contact the controller about this Privacy Policy or your personal data at info@watchphrase.com.

For users in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and the United Kingdom, this Privacy Policy is intended to address the information requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and the UK GDPR, including legal bases for processing, international transfers, retention, deletion, and data subject rights.

By using the Service, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with it, please do not use the Service.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Account and contact data. Your email address and any name or account details you provide; account identifiers, subscription status, and related entitlement information; messages or other information you send when you contact us.

1.2 Data you choose to save in the Service. Saved favorites, preferences, and similar account-linked data; personal usage statistics and history features associated with your account, where those features are available.

1.3 Technical, usage, and diagnostics data. IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, language, region, and similar technical information; pages, screens, searches, interactions, timestamps, referring pages, and related usage events; cookies, local storage, session storage, and analytics identifiers used to operate the Service, remember settings, and understand usage; crash, error, and performance diagnostics collected through our infrastructure or service providers.

1.4 Payments and third-party platform data. If you subscribe or support the Service through a payment platform, that platform may provide us with transaction, entitlement, or account-status information needed to provide access. We do not store full payment card details.

2. How We Use Information

• provide, operate, maintain, and improve the Service;
• authenticate accounts and manage subscriptions, supporter benefits, and entitlements;
• save favorites, preferences, and account-linked settings;
• provide personal statistics, history, and similar user-facing features;
• understand how the Service is used, improve quality, and diagnose technical issues;
• protect the Service, prevent misuse, and comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal data.

3. Analytics, Cookies, and Similar Technologies

We use analytics tools such as Google Analytics and similar services to understand how the Service is used and to improve functionality, stability, and performance. We do not send email addresses to Google Analytics.

Analytics and technical tools may still process cookie identifiers, device identifiers, IP-related technical information, and usage events. We also use cookies, local storage, and session storage for authentication, preferences, and analytics. You can manage cookies through your browser settings, but some parts of the Service may not function properly if certain cookies or storage mechanisms are disabled.

Advertising. The free version of the Service may display advertising provided by third-party advertising partners and ad networks (for example, Google and its advertising products). These partners may use cookies, web beacons, device identifiers, and similar technologies to serve and measure ads and, in some cases, to personalize the ads you see based on your visits to this and other websites. We do not control these third-party technologies, and each partner's use of data is governed by its own privacy policy. You can review and opt out of personalized advertising from many providers through Google Ads Settings (adssettings.google.com) and industry tools such as youronlinechoices.eu (EEA/UK) and optout.aboutads.info (US). Where required by law, we request your consent before non-essential advertising cookies are set.

4. Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR / EEA and UK Users)

If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we generally rely on one or more of the following legal bases under the GDPR or UK GDPR:

• Contract: to provide the Service you request.
• Legitimate interests: to operate, secure, and improve the Service, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.
• Consent: where consent is required under applicable law.
• Legal obligation: where processing is required to comply with law.

5. When We Share Information

• Service providers: vendors and infrastructure providers that help us host, analyze, secure, or support the Service.
• Platform and payment providers: when needed to manage subscriptions, purchases, or access.
• Legal or safety reasons: when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect the Service, our users, or others.
• Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or asset sale.

6. International Transfers

We may process or store information outside your country of residence, including outside the EEA or UK. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers.

7. Data Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide the Service, maintain account features, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, protect the Service, and comply with legal obligations.

• Account data is generally kept while your account remains active and for a limited period afterward where needed for legal, security, or accounting reasons.
• Favorites, preferences, and personal statistics are generally kept until you delete the related account data or until they are no longer needed to provide the feature.
• Technical logs and analytics data are generally kept for limited periods needed for security, diagnostics, and product analytics.

8. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on your location, including if you are in the EEA or the United Kingdom, you may have rights under the GDPR or UK GDPR to request access to personal data, correction of inaccurate data, deletion of data, restriction of processing, objection to certain processing, data portability, and withdrawal of consent where processing relies on consent.

9. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 16, or the minimum age required in your country to consent to the processing of personal data. If you are below that age, please do not use the Service or provide any personal data. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us at info@watchphrase.com and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
