Privacy policy

Last updated: 30 October 2026

Who we are

Vidalune makes software for your own media server, the Android app and the account service on vidalune.com and app.vidalune.com. Questions about privacy: info@vidalune.com.

Your media stays with you

Your movies, shows, watch history, progress, favourites and the users of your server are kept on your own server, not by Vidalune. Video, audio and subtitles go straight from your server to your device; they never pass through vidalune.com.

What the account service keeps

Your email address and an encrypted (hashed) password; when you confirmed your address; the signed-in browsers and apps (only a hash of each session); which servers belong to your account and who you invited; on which days your account was used and, per linked server, how much went through the relay per day. For every linked server: its name, version, public IP address, the private addresses it reports for use at home, and whether its direct connection works. Optionally, a name and a note when you take a paid plan.

Intros and credits

A linked server shares where it found the recap, intro and credits of TV episodes, so other servers can skip them too: per show (its TMDB number), season and episode, the length of the file, the start and end times, how they were found, and a few short audio fingerprints of an intro or the credits (numbers, not sound). Never titles, file names, paths, users or what anyone watches. This is on by default; an administrator can turn sharing off in Admin → Maintenance, and the server then sends nothing but still receives corrections. It is kept as long as the server is registered; removing the server removes what it shared.

The app

The Android app stores your sign-in on your device in its protected storage. It talks only to vidalune.com and to your own server. It has no advertising, no analytics and no tracking, and it does not share your data with others. When you cast, your Chromecast fetches the video from your own server and saves your progress there.

Services we use

Metadata and images come from TMDB and online subtitles from OpenSubtitles.com. vidalune.com asks them only about titles and files, never about you or what you watch. Emails (confirming your address, a new password) are sent through Postmark. The service runs on a server rented from OVHcloud; DNS and the forwarding of email to info@vidalune.com run at Cloudflare. A trailer on the website loads YouTube (without cookies) only when you press the button.

Why

To let you sign in, reach your servers from anywhere, send the emails you ask for, prevent misuse and fix faults. We do not sell data and do not use it for advertising.

How long

As long as you have an account. Sessions and one-time links end by themselves. A server that is not linked to an account and has been silent for 30 days is removed.

Removing your data

Sign in on vidalune.com, open My servers and choose Delete account (Delete for good). Your account, sessions and the link with your servers are removed at once. Your own server and its data stay with you. You can also email info@vidalune.com. You have the right to see, correct and remove your data, and to complain to your data protection authority.

Changes

When this policy changes, the new version is on this page with its date.
