Last Updated: September 24, 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the CineVibe mobile application (the “Application”) or its accompanying website, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (the “Terms”). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not install, access, or use the Application.
2. Description of the Service
CineVibe is a personal media-tracking and cataloging tool provided as a free service. The Application allows users to explore entertainment metadata, manage personal watchlists, track television episode progress, curate custom collections, and optionally synchronize data across personal devices. The Application is licensed for personal, non-commercial use only.
No Video Streaming or Content Hosting
CineVibe does not stream, host, broadcast, archive, or distribute full-length movies, television episodes, or copyrighted media files. The Application functions strictly as an informational tracker, organization catalog, and personal log. Video trailers available within the Application are embedded and served directly by YouTube via their official API services.
3. User Accounts and Data
- Local-First Usage: You may use the Application locally on your device without registering an account. Local data remains stored on your device.
- Cloud Synchronization: If you opt to sign in using Google Sign-In, authentication and cloud data synchronization are handled via Google Firebase. You are solely responsible for maintaining control and security over the Google account credentials used to access the service.
- Account Deletion: You may permanently delete your cloud account and all associated cloud data at any time via the in-app settings (Profile / Account → Settings → Delete Account) or by sending a verified deletion request via email.
4. Third-Party Services and Content
CineVibe relies on external third-party services and Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to provide media information, imagery, streaming availability, and trailers. Your use of the Application is subject to their respective terms and operating policies:
The Movie Database (TMDB)
- CineVibe utilizes the TMDB API to fetch movie and television metadata, cast lists, crew credits, and artwork.

5. User Content
You retain ownership of any text notes, custom list titles, and descriptions you create within the Application (“User Content”).
By enabling cloud synchronization, you grant CineVibe and its hosting infrastructure a limited, worldwide, non-exclusive license solely to transmit, store, format, and display your User Content across your authenticated devices to operate the service. You agree not to store User Content that is defamatory, harassing, unlawful, or infringes on third-party intellectual property rights.
