PopcornMe Terms of Service
1. Who provides the app
PopcornMe is provided by Łukasz Krajewski, a natural person from Poland, contact: privacy@popcornme.app (“we”, “PopcornMe”).
If the way the app is operated changes into a commercial activity requiring additional service provider details to be given, those details will be added before such a model is launched.
2. What PopcornMe is
PopcornMe helps two people choose a film or series to watch together. One person creates a room, the other joins with a code. Both set filters and independently mark the titles that interest them. A match appears only once both people have liked the same title.
PopcornMe does not provide films or series. It shows catalogue information and availability on streaming services, and may direct you to external services.
3. Technical requirements
To use the app you need a compatible Android device, an internet connection and an up-to-date version of the app. Some external features, such as Google sign-in, trailers or links to streaming services, require access to the services of the relevant providers.
4. Age
The app may be used by people who are 16 years of age or older. On first launch you must declare that you meet this condition.
If, under the law of your place of residence, you need the consent of a parent or guardian to enter into a contract of this kind, you should use the app only after obtaining the required consent.
5. Account
An account can be created using an email address and password, or through Google sign-in. You are responsible for the security of access to your account and should not share your sign-in details with others.
Your display name and — if Google sign-in provides it — your avatar may be visible to the person you are in a room with. There are no public profiles and no people search.
6. Rooms and the privacy of your decisions
A room can only be entered using a code passed on by the other person. Individual “yes/no” decisions are not disclosed to the other participant. The other person only sees the shared match.
7. Rules of use
When using the app you must not:
- impersonate another person or take over someone else's account;
- use your display name, avatar or other account elements to distribute content that is unlawful, threatening, harassing or infringes the rights of others;
- automate use of the app, circumvent safeguards or limits, or interfere with the operation of the system;
- deliberately file false reports in order to harm another user;
- use the app in a way that is contrary to law.
We may restrict or block an account where this is necessary for security, for the protection of other people, or to comply with a legal obligation. Where possible we will give the reason and allow an appeal via privacy@popcornme.app.
8. Reporting infringements and unlawful content
If you see unlawful or infringing content connected with a user's account, you can use the reporting mechanism in the app or write to privacy@popcornme.app. In your report, describe what happened and identify the account or room concerned.
9. Film data and external services
Data about films and series comes, among others, from TMDb. It may be incomplete or out of date, in particular information about availability on streaming services. We do not guarantee that a title shown is still available on a given service.
This product uses the TMDb API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDb.
Once you move on to TMDb, YouTube or a streaming service, the rules of that external service apply.
10. Price, advertising and affiliate links
Using PopcornMe is free of charge. The current version contains no in-app purchases and no paid subscription.
PopcornMe may present its own promotional or advertising material selected contextually, without profiling the user. As at the date of this version we do not use AdMob or any other external advertising network.
If in the future we launch an external advertising network, paid campaigns or affiliate links, the relevant legal information and the privacy policy will be updated before those features go live.
11. Availability of the service
We aim to keep the app running, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. We may carry out technical work, change features or discontinue development of the app. Where it is possible and proportionate, we will give advance notice of a planned permanent discontinuation of the service.
12. Deleting your account and terminating the contract
The contract for the use of PopcornMe is concluded when you create an account and accept these Terms, and lasts until the account is deleted or is terminated in accordance with these Terms.
You may stop using the app at any time via Settings → Delete account or by sending a request to privacy@popcornme.app.
13. Complaints
You can send a complaint about the operation of the app to privacy@popcornme.app. Describe the problem and, if possible, give information that allows it to be reproduced. We will reply without undue delay, as a rule within 14 days.
If consumer legislation applies to you, you retain all rights arising from mandatory law. You may also use the out-of-court dispute resolution methods applicable in your country, where available.
14. Liability
PopcornMe is a supporting tool for choosing a title. We are not responsible for the content of films and series, for the terms of use of external platforms, or for how up to date their catalogues are.
We do not exclude liability to the extent that mandatory law does not permit it, in particular consumer rights.
15. Personal data
How data is processed is described in the PopcornMe Privacy Policy.
16. Changes to these Terms
We may change these Terms where this is necessary because of a change in the law, for security reasons, because of how the app works, or because new features have been added. We will give notice of a material change in the app before it takes effect, unless an immediate change is necessary for legal or security reasons.
17. Governing law
These Terms are governed by Polish law. If you are a consumer in another country, the choice of Polish law does not deprive you of the protection afforded by the mandatory provisions of the law of your country of habitual residence.
18. Language
The Polish version is the reference version. If you receive these Terms in another language, the translation should be interpreted so as to preserve your mandatory rights. A translation error does not limit rights granted by applicable law.
