Privacy and cookie policy
Last updated: 10 November 2026
In short
- You can use all the listings without an account. What you save without an account (your list, your cinemas) stays in your browser.
- If you create your Kovu, we keep your name, your email and what you choose (list, cinemas, version, tastes and alerts). Nothing else.
- We don't sell or share your data with distributors, cinemas or advertisers. Kovu has no advertising.
- You can download your data and delete your account at any time in My Kovu › Account.
Who is responsible
Roger Espasa, owner of kovufilms.com. Privacy contact: hola@kovufilms.com.
What we process and why
| Data | Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Name and email | Creating your account, sending your sign-in link (no password) and greeting you by name. | Providing the service you ask for (Art. 6.1.b GDPR). |
| Your list, cinemas, version and tastes | Showing your things first and filtering showtimes and alerts. | Providing the service. |
| Alerts from your list (release, last days, OV) | Writing to you when what you asked for happens. | Providing the service. You can switch them off at any time. |
| Thursday plan, cinema news, previews and members | Optional emails about listings and member perks. | Your consent (Art. 6.1.a), which you can withdraw in My Kovu › Alerts or with "Unsubscribe" in any email. |
| Consent and email logs | Proving what you accepted and when, and not sending the same alert twice. | Legal obligation and legitimate interest. |
| Website visits | Our own cookieless statistics: a daily identifier that can't tell who you are (we don't store your IP). | Legitimate interest in improving the site. |
Who with
- Supabase (database and sign-in), servers in Frankfurt (EU).
- Resend (sending emails), from its Ireland region (EU). Resend is a US company: transfers rely on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.
- Cloudflare and Bunny.net (hosting and delivery).
How long
For as long as you have an account. When you delete it, we delete your name, email, list, cinemas, alerts and logs straight away; only provider backups may keep them for a few days until they are overwritten. Visit statistics are deleted after 13 months.
Your rights
Access, rectification, erasure, portability, restriction and objection. Quickest: My Kovu › Account has "Download my data" and "Delete my account". For anything else, write to hola@kovufilms.com. You can complain to the Spanish Data Protection Agency (aepd.es).
Kovu is for people aged 14 and over.
Cookies
Kovu uses no cookies: none of its own and none from third parties, for advertising or measurement. That's why we don't ask you with any banner.
So the site works, your browser stores (localStorage) your language, theme, what you save without an account and, if you sign in to My Kovu, your session. None of this leaves your browser or is used to track you, and you can clear it at any time in your browser settings.
Visit statistics are our own and cookieless (see above).
