Privacy notice

Privacy at Cine Standard

Last updated: 13 September 2026. This notice explains how Cine Standard handles voting, essential service data, optional audience analytics and aggregated commercial audience reporting.

Controller

Cine Standard is operated by Hristo H. Halvadzhiev. Privacy contact: [email protected].

Data we process

• Audience votes: score, title identifier, time, a random browser identifier and a keyed cryptographic hash of the network address.
• Optional audience analytics, when permitted: pseudonymous visitor/network hashes, approximate country, visit dates and counts, device category, operating-system and browser family, broad referral source, page engagement, searches and trailer plays.
• Essential preferences stored in the browser: language, catalogue region, display preference and the visitor identifier needed to preserve voting integrity.
• Server security logs may be processed temporarily by Cloudflare and Render under their own service terms.

Purposes and legal bases

Voting identifiers support the requested voting service, ranking integrity and abuse prevention. Where required by law, optional audience analytics operate only after consent. Aggregated statistics are used to improve Cine Standard, understand content demand, prepare advertiser and sponsor media kits, plan commercial partnerships and measure contextual campaign performance. Cine Standard does not sell individual visitor data or create cross-site advertising profiles.

Advertising, sponsorship and audience reporting

Cine Standard may use aggregated or irreversibly anonymized audience statistics in media kits, sponsorship proposals, advertising sales and commercial reports. Advertisers do not receive visitor identifiers, network hashes or individual voting histories from this reporting. If third-party advertising technology, personalized advertising or non-essential advertising storage is introduced later, Cine Standard will provide any additional notice and consent mechanism required before activating it.

Retention

Pseudonymous visitor-level analytics are removed after 90 days by default. Daily aggregated engagement statistics may be retained for a longer reporting period because they are designed not to contain individual browsing histories. Vote records are retained as reasonably necessary for public rankings, voting integrity and service security, subject to applicable rights and legal obligations. Backups may persist for a limited disaster-recovery period.

Recipients and international processing

The launch stack may use Cloudflare, Render, TheTVDB and YouTube. The primary application and database are intended for Render Frankfurt. Some providers may process technical data internationally using their contractual transfer mechanisms.

Your rights

Depending on applicable law, you may request access, deletion, correction, restriction, objection or portability, and may complain to a data-protection authority. Because Cine Standard has no public accounts, the browser identifier and current network context are used to locate data without collecting identity documents.

Cookies and local storage

Essential local storage supports language and voting integrity. Optional audience analytics remain off until permitted and can be refused without losing the core Cine Standard experience. No third-party advertising trackers are active at launch. The analytics preference can be changed through “Privacy settings” in the website footer.

Children

Cine Standard is a general-audience film-discovery service and is not directed to children under 16. We do not ask for a date of birth. Visitors under the applicable digital-consent age should use essential-only mode unless optional analytics consent is validly authorized by a parent or guardian. Cine Standard does not use known minors’ personal data for profiling-based advertising.
