Deal Hunter Privacy Policy
Deal Hunter is built to be private by design. The app has no ads, no analytics SDKs, no third-party tracking, and does not sell your data.
Information the app stores
Deal Hunter stores the content and preferences you create inside the app, including your Wanted list, your movie library and which movies you’ve marked as owned, price history and target prices for the movies you track, and your app settings. This information is stored locally on your device.
Movie data from TMDb
Movie details and artwork, including the catalog you search when adding a movie to your Wanted list, are provided by The Movie Database (TMDb), subject to TMDb’s own terms and privacy policy. This product uses the TMDb API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDb.
Optional TMDb account
You can optionally sign in with your own TMDb account. If you do, Deal Hunter can back up the movies you’ve marked as purchased to a private list in your TMDb account, so your library can be restored after a reinstall or on a new device. This list lives in your own TMDb account and is not shared with the developer. You can remove the list, sign out, or delete your TMDb account link at any time from the app’s settings.
Where price data comes from
Buy and rent prices are looked up through two public price sources: Apple’s iTunes Search API and CheapCharts. These requests contain movie titles or catalog identifiers and your selected store country, not your identity, and no sign-in is involved. Each service’s handling of these requests is governed by its own terms and privacy policy.
Notifications
If you enable sale alerts, notifications are scheduled locally on your device when a tracked price drops. You can turn them off at any time in the app’s settings and in your device’s system settings.
Information collected by the developer
The app does not collect personal information from you for the developer and does not transmit your Wanted list, library, or price history to the developer. If you contact support, the information you choose to send in that message may be used to respond to your request.
Analytics, ads, and tracking
Deal Hunter does not use advertising SDKs, analytics SDKs, or tracking technologies, and it does not sell personal data.
Children’s privacy
Deal Hunter is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated as the app changes. If data practices change materially, this page should be updated before the new version is released.
