1. Introduction
Welcome to Cinoteka ("we", "our", "us"). These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of Cinoteka.com and its services (the "Platform"). By using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Platform.
2. Description of Service
Cinoteka allows users to:
- Browse and discover movies and TV shows;
- Upload media files from their local device to automatically recognise them as movies;
- Build personal lists using both online and local content;
- Share curated lists with others.
Cinoteka is a free-to-use platform. We do not sell, monetise, or access your personal data or local files. All local files remain on your device and are not stored or uploaded to our servers.
3. Local File Handling
When you upload a file for identification:
- It is processed locally in your browser or device;
- It is never uploaded to or stored by Cinoteka;
- We use metadata analysis to match the content with known titles and help you organise it into lists.
This means your personal media never leaves your device.
4. User Responsibilities

- Use the Platform lawfully and respectfully;
- Not upload or share copyrighted or illegal material you do not own;

8. Data and Account Use
Cinoteka does not require account creation. One can login using just email or Google's authentication. If you create and save lists, they may be stored on our servers. We do not sell or monetise your data. We only store the minimum necessary to provide the service. For more details, please see our Privacy Policy.
