Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how XBMOVIES ("we", "our", or "us") collects, uses, and shares information about you when you visit https://xbmovies.com (the "Site"). By using the Site, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly:

• Account registration information (username, email address, hashed password)
• Messages sent through the Contact form
• Comments, chat messages, and title suggestions you post
• Payment-related data is processed entirely by PayPal — we do not store card details

Information collected automatically:

• Browser type, operating system, and device type
• IP address (used to prevent abuse, not sold or shared)
• Pages visited, watch history (used for Continue Watching), and interaction data
• Cookies and local storage (see section 5)

2. How We Use Your Information

• To create and manage your account
• To provide the Continue Watching feature and personalize your experience
• To process Premium subscriptions via PayPal
• To respond to your support requests and contact form messages
• To send transactional emails (password reset, subscription confirmation)
• To detect and prevent spam, abuse, and security threats
• To improve the Site and understand how it is used

3. Sharing of Information

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. We may share information in limited circumstances:

• Service providers: PayPal processes payments; embedded stream sources process playback requests independently.
• Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in response to valid legal process.
• Business transfers: If the Site is acquired or merged, user information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

4. Embedded Content & Third-Party Players

The Site uses embedded video players from third-party stream providers. These providers may set their own cookies, collect IP addresses, and use their own tracking technologies when you watch content. We do not control these providers' data practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any embedded player you interact with.

5. Cookies & Local Storage

We use cookies and browser local storage for:

• Keeping you logged in between sessions (authentication cookie)
• Remembering your player preferences (source selection, volume)
• Continue Watching progress (stored server-side, linked to your account)

You can clear cookies at any time through your browser settings. Disabling cookies will prevent login functionality from working.

6. Data Retention

We retain account information for as long as your account is active. Watch history and preferences are retained to support the Continue Watching feature. You can request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us.

7. Security

Passwords are stored as bcrypt hashes and are never stored in plain text. We use HTTPS for all traffic. Despite these measures, no system is 100% secure and we cannot guarantee absolute security of data transmitted over the internet.

8. Children's Privacy

The Site is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal data. To exercise these rights, contact us at support@xbmovies.com.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be noted with a revised "Last updated" date. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
