This Privacy Policy explains how What Show To Watch ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit https://whatshowtowatch.com. By using our site you agree to the practices described here.
We do not require you to create an account or provide any personal information to use What Show To Watch.
When you use our recommendation tool, the answers you provide (mood, energy level, viewing preferences) are sent to Google's Gemini AI to generate your recommendations. These answers are not stored by us after your session ends.
Like most websites, our servers automatically receive standard technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, referring URL, and pages visited. This information is used only for site analytics and security purposes.
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve our site. Cookies are small text files stored on your device.
We use the following types of cookies:
Essential cookies: Required for the site to function properly.
Analytics cookies: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site — which pages are popular, how long people stay, and where they come from. This data is anonymous and aggregated.
Advertising cookies: We use Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google may use cookies to show you ads based on your interests. You can opt out of personalized advertising at google.com/settings/ads.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some parts of the site may not function correctly as a result.
We display advertisements provided by Google AdSense. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site and other sites on the internet.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings at google.com/settings/ads.
We do not control the content of third-party advertisements displayed on our site.
Some links on our site are affiliate links. When you click an affiliate link and sign up for or purchase a service, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
We also participate in affiliate programs with streaming services including Hulu, DirecTV, Starz, and others. Our recommendations are based solely on what we believe fits your mood — we never recommend something just because it has an affiliate program.
We use the following third-party services that may collect data according to their own privacy policies:
Google Gemini AI — processes your mood quiz answers to generate recommendations. See Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy.
Google Analytics — anonymous site analytics. See policies.google.com/privacy.

Vercel — website hosting and infrastructure. See vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy.
We do not store your quiz answers or recommendation results after your session ends. We have no user accounts and no personal data database.
Anonymous analytics data (via Google Analytics) is retained according to Google's standard data retention policies.
Our site is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.
