Privacy Policy

Effective October 23, 2026. Applies to the LineUp apps for iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Android and Android TV.

The short version

LineUp never sees or stores your streaming-service passwords.
If you connect a streaming service with LineUp Plus, you sign in on that service's own page, the sign-in stays on your device, and LineUp reads your recent viewing there, on your device, to fill in your history.
An account is optional. Without one, your services, watchlist and history stay on your device.
With an account, we store your email and your LineUp library so it syncs between your devices.
No ads, no ad tracking, and we don't sell or share your data with advertisers or data brokers.
You can delete your account and everything synced to it from inside the app at any time.

Who we are

LineUp is made by an independent developer ("we"). Contact: support@lineupwatch.app.

What we collect and why

Data	When	Why	Where it's kept
Email address	Only if you create an account (email code, Sign in with Apple or Google)	To sign you in	Our account provider (Supabase)
Account ID, and your name if your Apple or Google sign-in shares it	With an account	To identify your account	Supabase
Your selected services and settings	Always on your device; synced with an account	To show titles on the services you have	Your device; Supabase if signed in
Watchlist, watched episodes and movies, and where you left off	Always on your device; synced with an account	Continue Watching, history and your watchlist on every device	Your device; Supabase if signed in
Viewing sessions: which title you opened in which streaming app, on which kind of device, when, and measured time in that app	When you press Play; synced with an account	To estimate where you left off and offer to continue on another device	Your device; Supabase if signed in
Streaming-app open/close times	Only if you set up the optional Shortcuts automation	To measure how long you watched	Your device only, deleted after two weeks
Screen Time usage checkpoints	Only on iPhone/iPad if you turn on Screen Time tracking and grant permission	To measure how long you watched	Your device only. Apple identifies apps to us only by anonymous tokens
Viewing history from connected services: recent titles and episodes and how far you got	Only with LineUp Plus on iPhone/iPad, for services you connect, while the app is open (at most every few hours)	To mark what you've watched and pick up where you left off	Read on your device. What it finds is saved to your library (above). Show names are looked up through our server to match them to our catalog, without your identity
Sign-in sessions for connected services	When you sign in to a service in LineUp Plus	So LineUp can read your viewing on that service	Your device only, in separate private storage for each service. We never receive them. Disconnecting erases it
Which services you've connected (names only)	With LineUp Plus and an account	To offer reconnecting on your other devices	Your device; Supabase if signed in
LineUp Plus subscription status	If you subscribe	To unlock Plus	Apple handles payment. The app only checks with Apple whether your subscription is active; we never receive payment details
Search text	When you search or browse	To find titles. It is not linked to your account	Our server and its short-term cache (up to 7 days); passed to our catalog data provider
Voice for voice search	Only while you use the microphone in Search	To turn speech into a search	Processed by Apple's speech recognition (on your device where supported); on Android by your device's speech service. We never receive or store audio
IP address and basic request data	When the app talks to our server	To protect the service from abuse (rate limiting)	Our server's memory and short-lived logs

We don't collect your location, contacts, photos or advertising identifiers. We don't know what you watch inside streaming apps, except on services you connect with LineUp Plus, as described above.

Service providers we use

Supabase: accounts, sign-in and database for synced data.
Fly.io: hosts the LineUp server that looks up titles.
Streaming Availability API (Movie of the Night): catalog and availability data. Receives search text from our server, never your identity. Posters and logos load from its image servers, which see your device's IP address.
Apple and Google: optional sign-in, speech recognition, app distribution, and LineUp Plus payments (Apple). Crash reports reach us only if you've allowed your device to share them.
Resend: sends your sign-in codes.

These providers process data for us under their own terms and security practices. We don't allow them to use it for their own advertising.

How long we keep it

Account data is kept until you delete your account. Search caches expire within 7 days, and server logs are short-lived. Data on your device stays until you delete the app.

Your choices and rights

Delete your account: Profile → Delete account. This permanently removes your account and all synced data.
Use without an account: everything except syncing works signed out.
Disconnect a service: Profile → Connected services → Disconnect erases that service's sign-in from your device. History already added stays in your library until you remove it or delete your account.
Turn off tracking: remove the Shortcuts automation or turn off Screen Time tracking at any time.
Access or correction: email us and we'll respond within 30 days. Depending on where you live (for example, California), you may have additional rights; we honor them for everyone.

Children

LineUp isn't directed to children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their personal information. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we'll delete it.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). Each account can only read its own synced data, enforced by the database. No method is perfectly secure, but we limit what we collect so there's little to protect.

Changes

If we change this policy, we'll update the date above and, for significant changes, tell you in the app.
