Creator submissions
When you submit work, we receive the name, email address, public channel or film links and optional production notes you provide. We use that information to review the submission, contact you about it and maintain the editorial record. Submitting a link does not transfer ownership of your work to Bollywood.AI.
Viewing and discovery
Saved titles, creator follows, recent searches and playback progress are kept in your browser on this device. Episodes you finish are also remembered in this browser, so series pages can show what you have watched; this list is not sent to us. Follows do not send emails or sync to another device. Bollywood.AI also uses a randomly generated identifier to record limited events such as opening, saving and completing a title, plus a bounded estimate of active viewing time. Paused playback, seeking and hidden-tab time do not count toward this estimate. Our own records keep the identifier only as a one-way digest, and it is not tied to a name or email address. If you allow optional analytics, Amplitude receives the identifier itself; see Optional analytics. We classify a visit only as direct, search, AI-assistant or another external referral; the referring URL and search query are not stored with viewing events.
Viewing events also carry coarse context: the kind of page a visit started on, the page language, campaign tags in the link you followed (such as utm_source), whether the device is a phone, tablet or computer, and the country, read from the request and stored as a two-letter code. A random identifier for the visit in this browser tab, which ends after 30 idle minutes, is stored only as a one-way digest. We also record whether a watch page was interacted with. IP addresses and the full browser description are not stored.
Service providers
Bollywood.AI uses Vercel to host and measure the service, Supabase to store catalogue and submission records, and YouTube's privacy-enhanced player to show work hosted by its original publishers. Those providers may process technical information under their own terms when their services are used.
Optional analytics
If you allow analytics, we use Microsoft Clarity to understand clicks, scrolling and navigation through masked session recordings and heatmaps. Clarity may process device and usage information and use analytics cookies. Advertising consent remains off. We use strict text masking and exclude editorial, submission and contact pages. You can decline or withdraw consent through Analytics preferences in the footer; watching does not depend on consent. Your choice is remembered on this device for up to 180 days. See Microsoft's privacy statement for its processing and retention practices.
With the same permission we send product analytics events to Amplitude, Inc. (United States): which search surfaces and results are shown and opened, and when playback of a title starts. Events carry this browser's random device identifier as is (not as a digest), the title involved and coarse search details such as the number of results and the query length band, never the search text. We ask Amplitude not to record your IP address or derive a location from it, and no cookies are used. Amplitude processes these events in the United States under its own terms and keeps them according to its retention settings. Nothing is sent to Amplitude before you accept, after you decline, or when your browser sends Do Not Track. See Amplitude's privacy notice.
Retention and choices
We retain submission and operational records only while they remain useful for editorial, security or legal purposes. You can clear saved titles, recent searches, viewing history, playback progress, finished episodes and your anonymous identifier directly on this device. Aggregate viewing records are kept for up to 180 days and are not tied to your name or email address. To ask about, correct or delete information you submitted, email sheeraz@bollywood.ai.
