These terms cover your use of the Previously website at watchpreviously.com (the "Site"). If you don't agree with them, please don't use the Site.

1. What Previously is

Previously is a discovery guide for TV shows and movies. We help you find what to watch and when it airs. That's it.

• We do not stream, host, or sell any shows or movies. When we point you to where something is available, that service's own terms and prices apply.
• Show and movie information — titles, artwork, air dates, release dates — comes from third-party data providers, mainly TMDB. It's the best data we have, but it can be wrong or out of date. Always double-check air times and availability with the actual network or streaming service before you plan your night around them.
• Trailers play inside the Site through embedded YouTube players. Using them is also subject to YouTube's terms.

2. Who can use the Site

The Site is for people 13 and older. It's a general-audience site — it's not made for children, and we don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. If you're under 13, please don't sign up for anything here.

3. The open beta

The Site is currently in open beta — it's live and improving, and some things may change or break while we polish them.

• Joining the beta means giving us your email address so we can tell you about the beta. The signup form says it plainly: "We'll only email you about the beta. Unsubscribe anytime." We mean that.
• The beta is free. Being in the beta doesn't give you any ownership in Previously or any promise about future features.

4. Email alerts and the newsletter (coming after launch)

After launch we plan to offer episode alerts ("your show airs tonight"), movie release alerts, and a weekly newsletter. These will be strictly opt-in: you choose which shows or topics to follow, every email has a one-click unsubscribe, and unsubscribing stops the emails immediately. The founder personally approves every newsletter before it goes out.

5. Acceptable use — the short version

Use the Site like a normal person. Don't:

• Scrape, bulk-copy, or re-publish our catalog pages or artwork as your own product.
• Try to break the Site, overload it, or get around any of its limits.
• Use the Site for anything illegal, or to harass anyone.
• Pretend to be us — don't copy our name, logo, or design to mislead people.

If someone abuses the Site, we may block their access. We'll be reasonable about it.

6. Intellectual property

• The Previously name, logo, wordmark, and the Site's design are ours. Don't use them without asking.
• Show and movie titles, posters, stills, and descriptions belong to their respective owners (studios, networks, distributors) and to our data providers. We display artwork under TMDB's terms, hotlinked from their image servers — we don't claim to own any of it.
• Nothing on the Site gives you ownership of anyone else's content. Browsing the catalog is fine; lifting the whole catalog to build a competing database is not.

7. Ads and recommendations

• The Site shows ads, clearly labeled "Ad." Ads keep the lights on; they don't change what the catalog recommends.
• Later we may add affiliate links (links where we earn a small commission if you sign up for something) and clearly labeled sponsored features. When that happens, we'll say so right where the link appears. We never let advertisers buy a show's placement in the catalog or pretend an ad is an editorial pick.

8. Third-party services

Parts of the Site run on third-party services: TMDB (catalog data and artwork), YouTube (trailer playback), FormSubmit (beta signup delivery today), and later Resend (alert and newsletter email). Those services have their own terms and privacy policies, which apply to their part of the experience. We're responsible for our Site; they're responsible for theirs.

9. No warranties — the honest version

The Site is provided "as is." We work hard to keep the catalog accurate and the Site running, but we can't promise it's always complete, correct, or uninterrupted. Schedules change, data providers have outages, and we're a small team. To the extent the law allows, we disclaim warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows: if something about the Site causes you harm, our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us to use the Site — which is $0. We're not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages (like missing a season premiere because an air date was wrong — check with the network). Nothing here limits liability where the law doesn't allow it to be limited.

11. Changes to these terms

We'll post updated terms here with a new effective date. If we make a material change, we'll note it on the Site, and if you're an email subscriber we'll tell you by email. Continuing to use the Site after the change means you accept the new terms.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Clark County, Nevada. If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the rest still stands.

13. Contact

This policy explains what information the Previously website at watchpreviously.com collects, what we do with it, and what choices you have. Short version: we collect as little as possible, we don't sell anything, and you can leave whenever you want.

1. What we collect

a) Your email address — only if you give it to us.

The only personal information the Site asks for is your email, in two places:

• The open-beta signup form ("We'll only email you about the beta. Unsubscribe anytime.").
• Later, alert and newsletter signups (per-show episode alerts, movie release alerts, the weekly newsletter) — all strictly opt-in.

b) What we don't collect at launch.

No accounts, no passwords, no names required, no payment info, no analytics trackers, no advertising cookies. The Site doesn't set cookies in your browser itself. Searching and browsing the catalog happens entirely in your browser — we don't see or store your searches.

2. How your email is handled

At launch (today): the beta form sends your address through FormSubmit, a form-delivery service, which forwards it to our team inbox. That means FormSubmit's servers briefly process your address — their privacy policy applies to that step. We use the address only to email you about the beta, exactly as the form promises.

After launch (v1.1): we're moving email to our own backend with Resend as the delivery provider, with double opt-in (you confirm via a link before we email you anything beyond the confirmation) and one-click unsubscribe in every message. When that ships, this policy will be updated to describe it precisely — the promises stay the same, only the plumbing changes.

We never sell your email address or any personal information, and we don't share it with advertisers. The only parties that ever touch it are the delivery services above, and only to deliver the emails you asked for.

3. Trailers and third parties

Trailers play through embedded YouTube players, which load only after you tap play. YouTube/Google may set cookies or collect viewing data when the player loads — that's governed by Google's privacy policy, not ours. We don't receive your YouTube viewing data.

Catalog data and artwork come from TMDB; we fetch that data server-side, so TMDB doesn't receive information about you from your visits.

4. How long we keep your email

• Active subscribers: as long as you're subscribed.
• Unsubscribed: your address is deleted from the mailing list within 30 days of unsubscribing. We keep only an anonymous marker so we don't accidentally re-add you later — it can't be turned back into your address.
• Never-confirmed signups: if you sign up but never click the confirmation link, the pending signup is purged after 30 days.
• Inactive subscribers: if you stop opening our emails for 12 months, we suppress the address and ask if you still want to hear from us before emailing again.

5. Your rights

Whatever the law where you live calls them, we honor these for everyone:

• See what personal information we hold about you (it's just your email and your alert/newsletter preferences).
• Delete it — email [email protected] with "Delete my data" and we'll confirm within 72 hours.
• Unsubscribe — one click, in every email, no login required, effective immediately.
• California residents: we honor access, deletion, and portability requests, and we do not sell personal information, so there's nothing to opt out of selling. You won't be treated differently for exercising your rights.
• EU/UK visitors: same rights, plus you can object to or restrict processing and lodge a complaint with your data-protection authority.

To make any request: [email protected] — put "Privacy request" in the subject.

6. Security

Where we operate our own endpoints, we protect subscriber data with encryption at rest, secrets stored outside the codebase, and rate-limited signups. At launch the beta form runs through FormSubmit (see §2), which handles delivery to our inbox. No system is perfect; if we ever discover a breach affecting your data, we'll tell you promptly.

7. Children

The Site is not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child under 13 gave us an email address, contact us and we'll delete it.

8. Changes to this policy

We'll post updates here with a new effective date. Material changes get a notice on the Site and, if you're subscribed, an email. The v1.1 email-backend migration described in §2 will be reflected here when it ships.
