Privacy Policy
Last updated August 12, 2026
Short version: Thrum stores your Google or Apple sign-in info and what you swipe on so it can find matches with the people you're paired with. Nothing is sold, shared with advertisers, or used to track you across other apps or sites.
What we collect
- From Google or Apple Sign-In: your name and email address — this is how your account exists at all. Google also shares a profile photo; Apple doesn't. If you use Apple's "Hide My Email," we only ever see the private relay address Apple gives us, not your real one.
- Your activity in the app: which movies/shows you like, pass, or mark watched; your streaming service and mood/genre preferences; notes, reactions, and title proposals you exchange with a pairing; and results like your Decide Right Now picks or Taste Compatibility score.
- A push notification token for your device, so we can notify you about matches, notes, and decisions. It's not used for anything else.
That's the complete list. We don't collect location data, contacts, device identifiers for advertising, or anything from outside the app itself.
Who can see it
Your own swipes are private to you. A match — something you and someone in a shared pairing both liked — becomes visible within that pairing, along with any note, reaction, or proposal exchanged there. Thrum supports multiple independent pairings (a partner, a family group, and so on); activity in one never crosses into another, and someone you're not paired with can never see it. If you tap Share on a Taste Compatibility card, that goes through your device's own share sheet — Thrum doesn't see who you send it to or where it ends up.
Where it's stored
In a hosted Postgres database (Supabase), with access rules enforced by the database itself — not just by the app's screens — so a request for data outside what's described above is refused automatically, no matter how it's made.
Third parties
- Google — handles sign-in only, when you choose "Continue with Google." We never see or store your Google password.
- Apple — handles sign-in only, when you choose "Continue with Apple." We never see or store your Apple password.
- TMDB (The Movie Database) — supplies movie/show details, posters, and trailers. Streaming-availability info ("Stream on...") is sourced from JustWatch via TMDB's API. Only anonymous title lookups are sent to either; no personal or account information ever reaches TMDB or JustWatch.
What we don't do
- We don't sell or rent your data to anyone.
- We don't show ads or share your activity with advertisers.
- We don't use your data to train any AI model.
Your controls
From inside the app's Settings, you can export your own swipe history and match history at any time, or permanently delete your account and all associated data in one step — no waiting period, no retention beyond what's legally required. If a note someone sent you is inappropriate, you can report it from inside the match — we review reported content to help keep pairings safe.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes in a way that matters, the "last updated" date above will change too. Continuing to use Thrum after an update means you've accepted the current version.
