The short version
Plotmark is a log for the films, series, books and games you care about. We collect what the app needs to keep your library in sync and to suggest what to watch, read or play next. We don’t sell your data, we don’t show ads, and we don’t use third-party analytics or advertising trackers.
What we collect
Account details. Your email address. There is no password: we email you a one-time code each time you sign in. If you sign in with Apple or Google, we receive your email address and name from them.
Profile. The display name and optional bio you choose.
Your library. Titles you add, their status, progress, ratings, dates, notes, shelves, goals and reminders.
Subscription status. Whether you have Plotmark Pro and when it renews or expires. Payments are processed by Apple or Google; we never receive your card details.
Steam account (optional). If you connect Steam to import your games, we store your public Steam ID. To build the import list we read your owned games, playtime and last-played dates from Steam; only the games you choose to import are saved to your library. You can disconnect Steam at any time.
Notification token. If you allow notifications, a push token so we can deliver them to your device.
Technical data. Standard server logs (such as IP address, time and request type) kept by our hosting providers for security and troubleshooting.
How we use it
To create your account, sign you in and sync your library across devices.
To show summaries, milestones and recaps of what you have finished.
To recommend titles based on what you have logged and rated.
To unlock Pro features and keep your subscription status correct.
To send the reminders and notifications you have turned on.
To keep the service secure and fix problems.
AI recommendations
When you use “Ask for picks”, our server sends your request and a summary of your taste (titles, genres and ratings from your library), together with a list of candidate titles, to an AI model provided by OpenAI. The app asks for your agreement before the first request. Your email, name and account details are not included. Under OpenAI’s API terms, this data is not used to train their models.
Who we share it with
We share data only with the service providers that run Plotmark, and only what each one needs:
Supabase — database, authentication and server functions.
RevenueCat — subscription management, linked to an anonymous account ID.
Apple App Store and Google Play — purchases and payments.
OpenAI — answering “Ask for picks” requests, as described above.
Expo — delivering push notifications.
Valve (Steam) — only if you connect Steam: verifying your sign-in and reading your game library through the Steam Web API.
TheTVDB, IGDB, OMDb and Google Books — title information and artwork. Searches go through our servers without your account details. Cover images load directly from these services, so they can see your device’s IP address.
We may also disclose information if the law requires it. If Plotmark is ever sold or merged, your data would move to the new owner under this policy, and we would tell you first.
On your device
The app stores a copy of your library and your sign-in session on your device so it works offline and loads quickly. Deleting the app removes this copy.
How long we keep it
We keep your data for as long as your account exists. When you delete your account, your profile, library and related records are erased from our database right away, and your purchase history is removed from RevenueCat. Where database backups exist, they are encrypted and deleted automatically within 7 days. Apple and Google keep their own purchase records under their policies.
Your choices and rights
You can edit your profile and library at any time in the app.
You can turn notifications off in the app or in your device settings.
You can ask for a copy of your data, correct it, restrict or object to how it is used, or withdraw consent by emailing
[email protected]. Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or Türkiye’s KVKK), you may also complain to your local data protection authority.
Security
Data is encrypted in transit, access to our database is restricted per account, and the keys for third-party services stay on our servers. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information and will notify you if a breach affects you.
Children
Plotmark is not directed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.
International transfers
Our database is hosted in the European Union (Ireland). Some providers, such as OpenAI and RevenueCat, may process data in the United States or other countries. We rely on their contractual safeguards for these transfers.
Changes
If we change this policy, we will update the date above. For significant changes, we will also let you know in the app.
