The core data that makes Flixio personal — your movie library, TV show progress, ratings, personal notes, and preferences — is stored exclusively on your device using Apple's on-device storage technologies.
This data never leaves your device unless you back it up via iCloud device backups, which are managed by Apple according to their own privacy policy.

Flixio displays advertisements through Google AdMob. AdMob may collect and use data to show you relevant ads:
If you allow tracking via Apple's ATT prompt, AdMob may show personalized ads based on your interests. If you decline, you will still see ads, but they will not be personalized. You can change this choice anytime in your device's Settings → Privacy → Tracking.
Google AdMob's privacy practices are described at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
