OTTASIA is a free streaming-discovery website operated by an independent developer (see Contact below). This page explains exactly what we collect, why, and what we do not do. We use plain language on purpose.
Short version: we collect only the minimum data needed to make the product work. We do not sell, rent, or share your data. We do not use advertising trackers, Facebook pixel, or Google Analytics.
1. What we collect
a. Browsing the site
You can use OTTASIA without an account. We collect anonymous, aggregate traffic stats via Netlify (page views, country, device type) so we know what people use. There are no third-party cookies and no cross-site tracking.
b. Sign-in (optional)
If you choose to save a watchlist, we ask for your email address. We use it to send a one-time code to log you in (no password). Your email is stored by our authentication provider, Supabase.
c. Watchlist data
When you save a title, we store the TMDB ID, type (movie or TV), title text, poster path, the timestamp, and your alert/digest preferences. Each row is tied to your user ID. Other users cannot see your watchlist (enforced by Supabase row-level security).
d. Email notifications (opt-in)
If you turn on availability alerts or the weekly digest, we send branded email through Resend. You can turn these off at any time from the watchlist page.
2. What we do not collect
- ·No advertising cookies, no Facebook pixel, no Google Ads tags.
- ·No Google Analytics, Hotjar, or session recording tools.
- ·No browsing history outside OTTASIA.
- ·No payment data (the product is free).
- ·No phone numbers, addresses, or government IDs.
3. Third parties we rely on
OTTASIA is built on top of a few well-known services. Each one only sees the data it needs to do its job:
- →TMDB - title metadata and streaming availability. We send TMDB the search terms and discovery filters, never your personal data.
- →Supabase (Mumbai region) - authentication and watchlist storage.
- →Resend - sending login codes and opt-in notification emails.
- →Netlify - hosting and anonymous traffic stats.
- →YouTube - embedded trailers on the home page. YouTube may set its own cookies when a trailer is played; we do not control that.
4. Cookies
We use only a small number of strictly-necessary cookies, set by Supabase, to keep you signed in. We do not use marketing or analytics cookies.
5. Children
OTTASIA is a general-audience streaming-discovery service. It is not directed at children under 13. If you believe a child has signed up, email us and we will delete the account.
6. Your rights
You can:
- ·See what we have on you (it is your watchlist, visible at /watchlist).
- ·Delete any title from your watchlist at any time.
- ·Email privacy@ottasia.com to request full account deletion (we delete within 7 days).
- ·Unsubscribe from any email by clicking the link in the email.
7. Changes
If we materially change this policy, we will update the date at the top and, for signed-in users, send a one-time email notice.
