Privacy Notice
Last updated August 12, 2026
Takilya is a community database of Philippine cinemas with reviews and showtimes. This notice covers what we collect, why, and the choices you have.
What we collect
Your account
Sign in with Google or an email magic link. Google passes your email, name and picture to Supabase Auth; we use the email to sign you in and generate a random public handle, which is the name the site shows.
Your reviews
The rating, text and details you submit, shown next to your handle.
Saved items
Cinemas and movies you bookmark, plus preferences such as preferred areas.
Helpful votes
The vote, stored with a one-way hash of your network address rather than the address itself, so one device counts once.
Anonymous usage events
Which pages get used, recorded against a random session id kept in your browser. An event carries a page and an action, so it stays separate from your account.
Anonymous traffic summaries
Vercel, our host, reports aggregate page views by page, referrer, approximate location, device type, operating system and browser. Visitors are counted with a hash that resets daily rather than with a cookie, and the reports stay separate from your account and your raw network address.
Service providers
Google handles Google sign-in and Supabase handles authentication, both for one job: signing you in and keeping your account. We do not use Google sign-in for advertising or request access to other Google services or account data. Vercel hosts the site and produces the aggregate traffic reports above.
What we leave alone
- No advertising trackers or cross-site tracking cookies.
- Your precise position stays yours: you pick an area, a device fix, if you allow one, stays on your device, and traffic reports show an approximate city at most.
- Your personal data is not for sale and reaches no advertiser.
Why we collect it
To run your account and publish your reviews, to order reviews so the most useful surface (helpful votes), and to see which features get used (usage events). That is the extent of it.
How long we keep it
Raw usage events are kept about 30 days, then discarded. Vercel Web Analytics manages its own retention under its privacy terms. Your account, reviews and saved items stay until you delete them or delete your account.
Deleting your account
Delete account in the You area removes your account at any time. Your reviews are anonymized to a "deleted user" handle: the text stays so the community rating history holds, and the link to you is gone.
Your rights and contact
The Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012 (Republic Act No. 10173) gives you rights over your personal data, including access, correction and deletion. Email support.takilyaph@gmail.com to make a request; for deletion, Delete account in the You area is fastest.
