Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Chili Movies ("we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use our Android application ("App"). By installing or using the App, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
1. Overview
Chili Movies is a movie discovery app that lets you browse movie lists, search titles, view details, and save favorites on your device. We do not require you to create an account to use the App.
2. Information We Collect
Depending on how you use the App, the following categories of information may be processed:

- Device type, operating system version, app version, language, and network connectivity status.
- Display and session-related signals used to detect screen casting or screen recording, where supported by your device.
- App configuration values retrieved remotely to control app behavior.
2.3 Advertising and attribution identifiers
- Google Advertising ID (GAID): The App may access the advertising identifier provided by Google Play services for attribution and advertising-related purposes.
- AppsFlyer identifiers: When enabled, AppsFlyer may collect attribution data such as install source, campaign name, and related device identifiers.
2.4 Usage and diagnostic information
- Interactions with ads, including impressions and clicks, through our advertising partner.
- Basic technical logs generated by third-party SDKs for delivery, fraud prevention, analytics, and troubleshooting.
2.5 Information you do not provide directly
We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, or payment information through the App unless you voluntarily provide such information to a third party outside the App.
3. How We Use Information
- Provide core app features such as browsing, searching, and displaying movie details.
- Store and display your locally saved favorites.
- Fetch remote configuration used to control app routing and content presentation.
- Measure marketing attribution and campaign performance.
- Deliver and measure advertisements through Unity Ads.
- Maintain app security and prevent abuse, including limiting certain behavior during screen casting or recording where applicable.
- Improve reliability, performance, and user experience.
4. Third-Party Services
The App integrates third-party services that may collect and process information under their own privacy policies:

5. Web Content and Cookies
In some cases, the App may open web content inside an in-app browser (WebView). That web content may set cookies or collect information according to the policies of the website being displayed. Third-party cookies may be enabled in the WebView where supported.
6. Advertising
The App displays ads through Unity Ads, including interstitial and rewarded formats. Ad partners may use device identifiers and usage data to deliver, measure, and personalize advertising, subject to your device settings and applicable law.
You can reset or limit ad personalization through your Android device settings, including the option to opt out of ads personalization where available.
7. Permissions
The App may request or use the following permissions:
- Internet: Required to load remote configuration, movie details, images, ads, and web content.
- Access Network State / Wi-Fi State: Used to check connectivity and support network-related SDK functionality.

8. Data Retention
- Favorites remain on your device until you remove them or uninstall the App.
- Third-party providers retain data according to their own retention schedules and legal obligations.
9. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. Information may be shared with service providers that help us operate the App, such as attribution, configuration, advertising, and content providers, only as needed to provide their services.
10. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information processed through the App. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
11. Children’s Privacy
The App is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to address the request.
12. Your Choices and Rights
- You can remove saved favorites at any time within the App.
- You can uninstall the App to delete locally stored app data.
- You may have rights under applicable privacy laws to access, correct, delete, or restrict certain processing. Contact us to submit a request.
13. International Users
If you use the App from outside your home country, information may be transferred to and processed in countries where our service providers operate, which may have different data protection laws.
14. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the effective date at the top of this page. Continued use of the App after changes become effective means you accept the updated policy.
