Privacy
Effective August 18, 2026. ParentFilter is operated by All Things Considered LLC, 7101 Craig St, Overland Park, KS 66204.
The short version
We collect your email address and the ratings you submit, and that is essentially it. There is no ad tracking on this site, no analytics scripts from ad companies, and we do not sell or share your personal data with anyone for their own use. When you want your data gone, you email us and it goes.
What we collect
- Your email address — it is your sign-in and the only identity your account has. We never ask for your name, address, or phone number, and we never ask anything about your children.
- Your ratings — the film, and up to five numbers on a 0–3 scale. Ratings are shown publicly only in aggregate; no public page connects a rating to you.
- Subscription status, if you subscribe — our payment processor tells us whether your subscription is active. Your card details go to the processor directly; we never see or store them.
- If you use the subscriber app — filter tracks you choose to publish to the shared library (scene timestamps and category labels for a film; other subscribers see the track, never who published it), and monthly totals of your account's AI analysis use, kept only to enforce your plan's monthly allowance.
- Operational scraps — short-lived counters that limit abuse (sign-in attempts per connection, ratings per hour) and error logs. These exist to keep the service up, not to profile anyone.
How we use it
- To sign you in — your email receives the one-time link.
- To show and aggregate ratings — each film page publishes the median of what households reported, per category.
- As reference signals for our own AI analysis of films and the AI report cards, as the Terms of Service license describes — in aggregate, never attributed to you.
- To run your subscription, if you have one.
Who processes data for us
We run on other companies' infrastructure, and naming them beats a vague "trusted partners". Each one processes data only to provide its service to us:
- Cloudflare — hosting and our database. Everything the site stores lives there.
- Resend — delivers the sign-in email. It sees your email address in order to send to it.
- Stripe — payments, when you subscribe. Stripe holds your card details; we hold only your subscription status and Stripe's reference IDs.
- xAI — the AI provider behind film analysis and report cards. Requests are about films, not about you: what reaches xAI is film titles, aggregate rating signals, and — for subscribers using playback analysis — the material your own app submits for analysis. We do not send xAI your email or your individual ratings history.
What we don't do
- No ad networks and no cross-site trackers, ever.
- No selling or renting personal data, and no "sharing" it for advertising.
- No data brokers, in either direction.
- No profiles of your children. A rating is about a film, and that is the only thing we want to know about your household.
How long we keep things
- Your account, ratings, and published filter tracks — until you delete them.
- Sign-in links — 15 minutes; expired links are swept from the database.
- Abuse counters — expire on their own within a day.
- Backups — up to 30 days, then gone.
- Withdrawn ratings — when a rating is removed, we may keep a record that it existed and was removed (with the content cleared) so abuse can't be un-done by deleting the evidence of it.
- Moderation and correction records — kept up to three years, because the corrections log is a public promise and has to be auditable.
Children
ParentFilter accounts are for people 13 and older, and the site is built for parents, not children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has an account, tell us at privacy@parentfilter.app and we will delete the account and its data.
Deleting your data
Email privacy@parentfilter.app from your account's address and ask. Deletion removes your account, your email, and your ratings from public display within 7 days. Aggregates already computed from your ratings may remain — they cannot be disentangled from other households' answers — but they contain nothing that identifies you. Backup copies age out within 30 days. That is the same promise the Terms of Service makes, in the same words.
Changes and contact
If this policy changes in a way that matters, we will say so on the site before the change takes effect — never quietly, and never retroactively. The current version always lives at this address with its effective date at the top. Questions: privacy@parentfilter.app.
