Privacy Policy
Last updated: 7 August 2026
The short version
You can use StreamShack without giving us anything. We don't sell personal data. We do run advertising and analytics, and those involve third-party cookies — the detail is below.
What we collect
If you just browse
- Your approximate country, derived from your IP address by our hosting provider, so we can show availability where you live. We store your choice in your browser's local storage so you don't have to pick it again. It is not tied to an account.
- Standard server logs — IP address, browser user-agent, requested page, timestamp — kept by our host for security and abuse prevention.
- Analytics events — see below.
If you create an account
Accounts are optional and currently disabled on the live site. When enabled, we store your email address, an encrypted password hash, your watchlist, and which streaming services you've told us you subscribe to. That's all. We use this to show your services first and to email you about titles on your watchlist if you opt in.
Advertising and cookies
We use Google AdSense to serve advertising on this site.
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this and/or other sites on the Internet.
- You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
- You can opt out of third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info/choices or optout.networkadvertising.org.
- Google's own handling of this data is described in the Google Privacy & Terms site.
If you are in the EEA, UK or Switzerland, you will be asked for consent before personalised advertising cookies are set, and you can change that choice at any time.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand which pages get used and where the site is slow or broken. It sets cookies and records page views, approximate location and device type. We have not enabled advertising features that would let us identify you personally through Analytics. You can block it with the Google Analytics opt-out add-on.
Who else is involved
- Cloudflare — hosting and content delivery. Sees your IP address and request data.
- Supabase — database and, when accounts are enabled, authentication. Stores account data described above.
- Watchmode — our streaming-availability data provider. We send them title identifiers, never anything about you.
- Google — advertising and analytics, as above.
Links to streaming providers are ordinary outbound links. Once you click through, that provider's own privacy policy applies, not ours.
Affiliate links
Some rent and buy links may carry an affiliate tag, meaning we receive a small commission if you make a purchase. This does not change the price you pay, and it does not influence what we show you or in what order.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export or delete the personal data we hold about you, and to object to processing. If you have an account you can delete it at any time, which removes your email, watchlist and service preferences.
To make any request, email us at [email protected]. We aim to respond within 30 days.
We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13.
Changes
If this policy changes materially we'll update the date at the top of this page. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept it.
