Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 19, 2026
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how Code Family (hereinafter "we", "our" or "the Publisher") collects, uses and protects the personal data of users of the NextWatch application (hereinafter "the Application").
We are committed to protecting your privacy and to processing your personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable French law.
2. Data collected
When you use the Application, we collect the following data:
- Authentication data: email address (via Firebase Authentication)
- Profile data: display name and avatar
- User preferences: favourite movie, series and book genres, streaming platform subscriptions
- Usage data: ratings, comments, watchlist, personal Top 10
- Social data: friends list and invitations
- Technical data: FCM tokens for push notifications
- Personal libraries (Android, optional): if you accept the backup of your libraries, the address and login credentials of your Xtream or Jellyfin servers are stored encrypted on our servers, to restore them on a new device
- Feedback about the Application: if you send feedback, its text, your username, your email address, the platform and the version of the Application; the feedback is also forwarded to us by email
- Subscription data: plan, status and dates of your NextWatch Pro subscription, transaction identifiers. Card details are processed directly by the payment provider and are never shared with us
- Usage statistics (only with your consent): screens viewed, actions taken in the Application (opening a title page, adding to the watchlist, rating, purchase, etc.), the fact that you run a search (only the length of the typed text and the number of results are measured, never the search text itself), opening and backgrounding of the Application, and technical information about the device (model, system and Application version). This data is pseudonymous: it is linked to a technical identifier and, when you are signed in, to a fingerprint (hash) of your account identifier, never to your email address or your name.
3. Purposes of processing
Your data is used to:
- Create and manage your user account
- Personalise movie, series and book recommendations
- Save and display your ratings, comments and lists
- Provide the social features (friends, sharing)
- Send push notifications related to your account activity
- Manage your NextWatch Pro subscription (payment, renewal, access to features)
- Improve the Application and the user experience, in particular from the feedback you send us
- Restore your personal libraries on a new device, if you accepted it
- Measure the audience of the Application (usage statistics), only with your consent
4. Legal basis for processing
The processing of your data is based on:
- Performance of the contract: the data required for the Application to work
- Your consent: for push notifications, audience measurement and certain optional features, including the backup of your personal libraries (you can decline it; to withdraw it, delete your libraries in the Application, which erases them from our servers, or write to us)
- Legitimate interest: to improve our services
- Legal obligation: to keep the accounting records related to subscriptions
Audience measurement relies solely on your consent, collected by the consent form shown when the Application starts. It is only enabled if you accept the purposes "Store and/or access information on a device" and "Understand audiences through statistics or combinations of data from different sources" (purposes 1 and 9 of the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework). If you decline them, no usage statistics are collected and the Application works normally.
You can change or withdraw your consent at any time in the Application, from the Settings, with "Gérer mes choix de confidentialité" (Manage my privacy choices): the consent form is shown again and the withdrawal takes effect immediately. You can also write to us at contact@nextwatch.code-family.fr. Withdrawing your consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out before it.
5. Retention period
Your data is kept for as long as you use your account. If you delete your account, your personal data will be deleted within 30 days, except for data we are legally required to keep. Accounting records related to subscriptions are kept for 10 years (article L. 123-22 of the French Commercial Code).
Usage statistics are kept by PostHog for seven years. This period is set by PostHog and we cannot shorten it. If you withdraw your consent, no new data is collected.
6. Recipients of the data
Your data may be shared with:
- Firebase (Google): hosting and backend services
- PostHog Inc.: audience measurement of the Application, only with your consent. The data is hosted in the European Union (PostHog Cloud EU region, Frankfurt, Germany) and IP addresses are not stored.
- TMDB: API for movie and series information (no personal data shared)
- Google Books: API for book information (no personal data shared)
- Google Analytics (Google): audience measurement of the nextwatch.code-family.fr website, only with your consent
- RevenueCat (RevenueCat, Inc., United States): subscription management
- Stripe (Stripe Payments Europe, Limited, Ireland): payment processing. Stripe also acts as an independent controller for fraud prevention (Stripe privacy policy)
7. Data transfers outside the EU
The Application uses Google's Firebase services, which means that your data may be transferred to and stored on servers located outside the European Union. These transfers are governed by the European Commission's standard contractual clauses, ensuring an adequate level of protection for your data.
Subscription management by RevenueCat and, where applicable, payment by Stripe may also involve transfers to the United States, governed by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or by the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.
Usage statistics are hosted by PostHog in the European Union (Frankfurt, Germany). As PostHog Inc. is a US company, any transfer of this data outside the European Union would be governed by the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.

Account and data deletion
Last updated: October 16, 2026
1. Right to erasure
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have a right to erasure of your personal data. You can request the deletion of your NextWatch account and of all associated data at any time. This action is permanent and irreversible.
2. Deleting your account from the app
To delete your account directly from the NextWatch app, follow these steps (the app's labels are in French):
- Open the NextWatch app and sign in to your account
- Go to the Paramètres (Settings) screen from the navigation menu
- Scroll down to the « Application » section and tap « Supprimer mon compte » (Delete my account)
- Carefully read the warning about the permanent deletion of your data
- Tap « Envoyer l'email de confirmation » (Send the confirmation email)
- Check your inbox and click the confirmation link (valid for 15 minutes)
- Once the link is clicked, your account is deleted immediately and you are redirected to the app
This double confirmation by email ensures that only the account owner can trigger the deletion, preventing any accidental deletion.
3. Data concerned by the deletion
Deleting your account permanently deletes all of the following data:
- Authentication data: email address and login credentials
- Profile data: display name, avatar and personal information
- Preferences: favourite genres, selected streaming platforms
- User content: ratings, comments, watchlist and personal Top 10

None of this data is kept once your request has been processed, except for data we are legally required to keep (tax or legal obligations, where applicable).

Your data is deleted within a maximum of 30 days of your request. During this period, your account is deactivated immediately and your data is no longer accessible or visible to other users.
5. Alternative deletion method
If you cannot delete your account from the app (access problem, forgotten password, etc.), you can send us your deletion request by email at:
contact@nextwatch.code-family.fr
Please include in your email the address associated with your NextWatch account so that we can process your request. We will confirm the deletion by return email within a maximum of 30 days.
6. Consequences of the deletion
Deleting your account means:
- The permanent loss of all your data (ratings, lists, comments, friends)

7. Contact
For any question about the deletion of your data or to exercise your rights, you can contact us:
