StreamCue Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 2026
StreamCue is an app for tracking TV shows and films — what's airing, where it streams, and whether it's free. This page explains what happens to your information when you use it.
The short version
StreamCue has no servers of its own, no user accounts, and no analytics or advertising. Your list stays on your device and in your own iCloud account. Nothing about you or your list is sent to us, because there is no "us" to send it to — the app has no backend at all.
What's stored, and where
- Your personal list (shows and films you track) is stored on your device and synced across your own devices using Apple's iCloud, through your personal, private iCloud account. StreamCue's developer has no access to it.
- Household sharing is optional. If you choose to share a list with other people, the shared items are stored in your iCloud account and made visible only to the specific people you invite, using Apple's CloudKit sharing. It is not visible to anyone else, including StreamCue's developer.
- Turning off iCloud for StreamCue, or signing out of iCloud entirely, stops syncing but the app keeps working with data on that device alone.
Third-party data sources
StreamCue looks up show, film, and rating information from two public catalog services:
- The Movie Database (TMDB) — titles, artwork, cast, air dates, and streaming availability.
- OMDb — supplementary ratings (IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic).
These lookups send only the title or ID you're searching for — nothing that identifies you personally, and nothing about the rest of your list. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.
Reminders and notifications
If you turn on air-date alerts, they're scheduled locally on your device through Apple's notification system. If you use the Reminders integration, StreamCue writes reminders directly into your own Reminders app, with your permission — both stay entirely on-device and within your own Apple account.
What StreamCue does not do
- No user accounts, sign-ups, or passwords.
- No analytics, crash reporting, or advertising SDKs.
- No data sold, shared, or sent to any third party beyond the public catalog lookups described above.
- No tracking across other apps or websites.
Changes to this policy
If this ever changes — for example, if a future version adds a service that does collect data — this page will be updated first, and the date at the top will reflect it.
