Privacy Policy

Overview

AHS Ratings (“we”, “us”) lets people rate each season of American Horror Story and compare with the community. This policy explains what we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Information we collect

• Account data: email address, password (hashed), OAuth identifiers (e.g., Google), email verification status.
• Profile data: username, profile picture (stored in Supabase Storage), display preferences (e.g., theme).
• Ratings data: your per-season ratings and timestamps.
• Usage data: basic analytics (aggregated or pseudonymous) such as page views, referrers, and device/browser information.
• Cookies & local storage: session cookies for authentication and a small key for theme preference.

How we use information

• Provide, secure, and maintain the service (authentication, RLS permissions, profile management).
• Render charts (your profile chart; community averages in /stats).
• Improve features and performance (troubleshooting, usage metrics, anti-abuse).
• Communicate with you (account verification, critical updates).

Sharing & disclosure

We don’t sell your personal information. We share limited data with service providers who help us operate the site, strictly for the services they perform:

• Supabase: authentication, Postgres database, Storage/CDN.
• Netlify: hosting and serverless functions.
• OAuth providers (e.g., Google): if you choose to sign in with them.

Public information: your username and ratings are visible to others (e.g., on your profile and in community feeds/averages). Your email is never displayed publicly.

Data retention

We keep account and ratings data while your account remains active. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within a reasonable period, subject to legal or operational requirements (e.g., backups with limited retention).

Your choices & rights

• Update your profile (username and avatar) from your account page.
• Modify your ratings at any time from the “Rate” page.
• Opt out of theme/local preferences by clearing local storage in your browser.
• Request access, correction, export, or deletion of your data by contacting us (see below).

If you’re in the EEA/UK, you may have additional rights under GDPR, including objecting to certain processing and lodging a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

Security

We use Supabase’s managed Postgres with Row Level Security and hashed credentials. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; we aim to use reasonable safeguards appropriate to the risk.

International transfers

Our infrastructure and providers may operate in multiple regions. Your information may be processed outside of your country. We rely on our providers’ data transfer mechanisms where applicable.

Children

AHS Ratings is not intended for children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country). We don’t knowingly collect data from children under that age.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy. We’ll change the “Last updated” date and, when appropriate, provide additional notice.
