Privacy Policy
Last updated: 10 November 2026
In short: MoodPick keeps your preferences, lists and feedback on your device. We run no servers and no user database. The app only talks to public catalogue services for movie and anime information, where-to-watch data and synopsis translation. It never sends your lists or any identifier to them.
Who we are
MoodPick is an iOS and Android app that recommends movies and anime based on the genres, moods and length you choose. This policy explains what the app handles and where it goes. Contact: [email protected].
No account, no sign-in
MoodPick does not ask you to create an account and does not collect your name, e-mail address or any other identifier. There is nothing to sign in to.
Data stored on your device
- Your taste preferences: content type (movies/anime), genres, moods and preferred length
- Your lists and feedback: titles you liked, disliked, watched, saved for later or passed on while swiping
- The streaming services you chose under Profile → My services
- Which recommendations were recently shown, and the week's planned "Today's hidden gem" picks
- App settings: language, appearance, and whether the evening notification is on
- Your AniList username, if you used Import (only so the field is pre-filled next time)
- A temporary cache of catalogue responses, translations and poster images, so the app works faster and offline
None of this is transmitted to us. Profile → “Delete all data” erases it, and deleting the app removes it from your device.
Catalogue services the app connects to
To show titles, posters, ratings and synopses, the app requests data directly from your device:
- TMDB (The Movie Database, themoviedb.org) for movies, and its image servers for posters.
- AniList (anilist.co) for anime.
- JustWatch data, delivered through TMDB, for where a title streams in your country. Your country is taken from your device's region setting and sent with these requests; nothing else about you is.
These requests contain only what is needed to answer them (for example a genre, a search term or a title id) and your device's IP address, as with any internet request. They never include your lists, feedback or any identifier. The services are operated by third parties under their own privacy policies. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.
Importing your AniList list (optional)
If you choose Profile → Import and enter an AniList username, the app reads that user's public anime list from AniList to mark what you have already watched. No password is asked for, nothing is written to your AniList account, and the imported titles are stored only on your device.
Synopsis translation
AniList synopses (and some TMDB overviews) exist only in English. When the app language is Turkish, the synopsis text of the title you open is sent to MyMemory (mymemory.translated.net) to be machine-translated. Only that public synopsis text is sent — never your lists, feedback or any identifier. The translation is stored on your device so the same text is not sent again.
Trailers
If you tap “Watch trailer”, the trailer is loaded from YouTube inside the app's web view. YouTube's own privacy policy applies to that page.
Notifications and the home screen widget
The evening "Today's hidden gem" notification is optional (Profile → Evening notification) and asks for your phone's notification permission when you turn it on. It is scheduled on your device: no push server is involved and no device token is sent anywhere. On iPhone, the home screen widget shows the same pick; the title, rating and poster are shared with the widget through an app group on your device only.
Sharing
When you share a title or your discovery profile, the app creates an image on your device and opens your phone's share sheet. Nothing is uploaded unless you choose an app to share it with.
Pick together invite links. When you send a friend an invite link, the list of cards (title, year and poster address) and the cards you said "Yes" to are written into the link itself. If your friend sends the result back, their choices are added to the link the same way. This information sits after the "#" in the link; browsers never send that part to a server, so none of it is stored on any server of ours. The page that opens the link (renoa.tr/moodpick/t) shows the cards on that device only and saves nothing. You choose who you share the link with; anyone who has the link can see the cards and choices in it.
How we protect your data
- Encryption in transit. Every request uses HTTPS; unencrypted connections are blocked by App Transport Security on iOS and by the system's network security settings on Android.
- Encryption at rest. Data lives in the app's private storage, which iOS and Android protect with device encryption.
- No servers, no copies. We operate no backend, so there is no copy of your data outside your device.
Analytics, advertising, tracking
None. MoodPick contains no analytics SDK, no advertising SDK and no tracking of any kind.
Children
MoodPick is not directed at children under 13 and collects no personal data from anyone.
Your rights
Because we hold no data about you, there is nothing for us to export or delete on request; everything is under your control on the device. If you have a question about this policy, write to [email protected].
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version is published at this address with an updated date.
