Privacy policy

Last updated: July 2026.

Summary

Screen Trove is a public directory of independent cinemas. The site is browseable without an account, and we do not require you to identify yourself in order to read film pages or cinema pages. This page describes the limited information we collect when you visit.

What we collect automatically

Like most websites, our servers maintain access logs that record the URL you requested, the timestamp of the request, your approximate region (derived from your IP address), the referring page if any, and your browser's user-agent string. These logs are kept for operational diagnostics, fraud prevention, and aggregate traffic reporting, and are rotated out within ninety days.

Cookies

Screen Trove itself does not set cookies for tracking purposes. We may use a single first-party cookie to remember non-personal display preferences (such as a default city) when you opt in. Third-party services embedded on the site — most notably the advertising slots described below — may set their own cookies under their own privacy policies.

Analytics

We use lightweight, aggregate analytics to understand which films and cinemas readers are looking at. Analytics events do not include personally identifiable information. We do not perform cross-site tracking, and we do not sell or rent any data we hold.

Children's privacy

Screen Trove is a general-audience cinema directory. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of thirteen. If you believe a child has submitted personal information through the site, please contact us and we will delete it.

Data requests

If you would like to know what information we hold about you, request its deletion, or exercise any rights you may have under the GDPR, CCPA, or similar regulations, please contact us. We will respond to verified requests within thirty days.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time as the site evolves. Material changes will be reflected in the "last updated" date above. Continued use of the site after a material change constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
