This Privacy Policy is currently provided in English.

This Privacy Policy explains how Filmot (“Filmot,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information when you use filmot.com

Filmot is a public search engine for finding and accessing publicly available video-related information. We try to collect as little information from Filmot users as reasonably possible. We do not use advertising cookies, tracking cookies, or non-essential analytics cookies.

1. Contact

For privacy questions, rights requests, removal requests, or other inquiries, please use our contact form.

2. Information We Collect From Users

Users may use Filmot’s basic search features without creating an account. If you choose to create an account, log in, connect a Patreon account, submit a contact form, make a support request, report an issue, request removal of content, or otherwise communicate with us, we may collect the information reasonably necessary to provide those features or respond to your request.

A. Information You Provide to Us

We may collect information that you choose to provide, such as:

Your name, contact information, or other details submitted through our contact form.
The content of messages, support requests, reports, removal requests, or feedback you send to us.
Information reasonably necessary to evaluate or respond to your request.
Account information you provide when creating or using a Filmot account, if account features are available.

Please do not submit sensitive personal information unless it is necessary for your request.

B. Account and Patreon Login Information

If you create an account or log in using Patreon, we may collect and process information needed to create, identify, authenticate, and manage your Filmot account or Patreon-connected access, including:

Email address.
Patreon account ID.
Patreon account name or display name.
Patreon membership tier or entitlement information.
Login, authentication, and account status information necessary to operate account features.

We use this information to authenticate users, provide account-related functionality, verify Patreon-supported access or membership tier, prevent abuse, maintain security, and provide support.

Patreon’s own collection and use of information is governed by Patreon’s privacy policy and terms. Filmot does not control Patreon’s privacy practices.

C. Technical Information Processed for Site Operation

When you visit filmot.com, our servers and service providers may automatically process limited technical information necessary to operate, secure, and maintain the site, such as:

IP address.
Browser type and version.
Device type and operating system.
Requested URL, referring URL, timestamps, and basic server logs.
Error logs, security logs, and abuse-prevention signals.
Search queries and interactions necessary to provide search functionality and maintain the service.
Login, session, and authentication information necessary to operate account features, where applicable.

We use this information to provide the website, deliver search results, operate account and login features, maintain security, prevent abuse, diagnose technical issues, and comply with legal obligations. We do not use this information for targeted advertising.

3. Publicly Available Source Information

Filmot indexes, organizes, searches, displays, and otherwise processes certain publicly available video-related information from third-party sources, such as public video metadata, captions, subtitles, channel information, timestamps, and related publicly available materials.

This information may include information relating to identifiable individuals if that information appears in publicly available source material. Filmot does not create the underlying public source material and does not control the original third-party sources.

Filmot uses publicly available source information to provide search, discovery, indexing, data-access, research, and related functionality. Removing information from Filmot does not necessarily remove it from the original source, from other websites, or from other search engines.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Filmot uses only strictly necessary cookies.

These cookies are required for basic operation of the website and may be set without consent where permitted by law. We do not use cookies for advertising, behavioral tracking, cross-site tracking, or non-essential analytics.

Strictly necessary cookies may be used for purposes such as:

Maintaining security.
Preventing abuse, spam, scraping overload, or denial-of-service activity.
Remembering basic session state needed for site functionality.
Authenticating users and keeping users logged in.
Managing account sessions and Patreon-connected access.
Load balancing, rate limiting, or protecting the service.
Preserving essential user choices or technical preferences where required for operation.

Because these cookies are necessary for the site to function, they cannot be disabled through a Filmot cookie preference tool. You may be able to block or delete cookies through your browser settings, but some parts of the site may not work properly if you do so, including login or account features.

5. How We Use Information Collected From Users

If Filmot uses third-party service providers for hosting, security, forms, authentication, communications, or other operational functions, those providers may process limited information as necessary to provide their services to us.

If you use Patreon login or Patreon-connected features, your use of Patreon is governed by Patreon’s own privacy policy and terms.

11. International Transfers

Filmot may be operated from, and information may be processed in, countries other than the country where you are located. These countries may have data protection laws that differ from those in your jurisdiction.

Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers, such as contractual protections or other lawful transfer mechanisms.
