Privacy Policy for DearBella

Last updated: June 17, 2026

DearBella ("the app," "we," "us") is a movie recommendation app. We care about your privacy and have designed the app to collect as little information as possible. This policy explains what information the app handles and how.

The short version

DearBella does not require an account, does not ask for your name or email, does not use analytics or tracking, and does not show ads. Your saved films and preferences are stored only on your device. To generate recommendations, the app sends limited, non-identifying taste information (such as your selected genres and saved film titles) to our recommendation service. We do not sell your data, and we do not build a profile that identifies you.

Information stored on your device

The following information is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to us except as described below:

• Films you save to your list
• Films you like or pass on while swiping
• Your selected genres and favorite films from onboarding
• Your daily-use streak

This information remains on your device and is removed if you delete the app.

Information sent to our recommendation service

To create personalized recommendations, the app sends limited taste information — such as your chosen genres, saved film titles, and current mood selection — to our own secure server, which in turn requests recommendations from third-party services (see below). This information is used only to generate recommendations in the moment. It is not tied to your name, email, device identifier, or any account, because the app has none.

Third-party services

The app relies on the following third-party services to function:

• Anthropic (Claude): generates the recommendations and written descriptions. Taste information described above is sent through our server to Anthropic to produce recommendations. See Anthropic's privacy policy at anthropic.com/legal/privacy.
• The Movie Database (TMDB): provides film information, posters, and trailers. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB. See TMDB's privacy policy at themoviedb.org/privacy-policy.

Requests to these services are routed through our own server so that our API keys are not stored in the app. Our server does not create user accounts or retain a personal profile of you.

What we do not do

• We do not require or collect names, email addresses, or passwords.
• We do not use analytics, advertising, or tracking technologies.
• We do not sell or share your information for marketing purposes.

Children's privacy

DearBella is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date above.
