Privacy

Your email address and sign-in credentials (handled by our authentication provider), your display name, your genre preferences, theme choice, your saved shows with statuses, ratings, private notes and “recommended by” text, your Circles and memberships, invitations you create, and recommendations you publish to a Circle.

Everything in your list is private by default. Private notes, “recommended by” text and your email address are never shown to other people, including members of your Circles.

• Shows you explicitly recommend to that Circle, with your name and optional note.
• If — and only if — you switch on “Share watched shows and ratings” for that Circle: shows you marked Watched and the rating you gave them.

Switching sharing off, or leaving the Circle, stops that access immediately on the server. It cannot undo what someone already saw.

WhatNext uses first-party KinnmanAI product and operational analytics — no advertising or third-party trackers. By default we count actions anonymously (for example “a show was saved” or “a search was used”), without linking them to you. If you turn on “Help improve WhatNext” in your profile, those counts are linked to your account. We never send show names, ratings, search text, notes, Circle names, recommendation messages or invitation links. Our operations console sees account basics (email, sign-up and last activity dates) and simple counts such as how many shows you’ve rated — never what they are.

You can export your own data as JSON and delete your account from your profile. Deleting removes your list, ratings, notes, favourites, recommendations you sent and your Circle memberships. Circles you own pass to their longest-standing member, or are deleted if you are the only member.

We make no certification claims, no fixed retention promises and no response-time guarantees. Operator contact details are pending configuration by the app owner.
