Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information Films Discourse (filmsdiscourse.com) collects when you use the website, how it is used, and the choices you have. By using the website you agree to this policy.

Information we collect

• Visits. When you open a page we record the page, the time, the website that sent you here, your browser type, your IP address and an approximate location (city and country) worked out from it. We use this to understand our audience and keep the site running well.
• Newsletter signups. If you join our list we store the name and email address you give us, so we can send you box office updates and new articles. Every email has an unsubscribe link.
• Accounts. If you sign in with Google or X, we receive your name, profile picture and account ID from that service. Reviews, box office predictions, follows and your profile are shown publicly on the website.
• Messages. If you email us, we keep the message and your email address so we can reply.

• Google Analytics, to measure how many people visit and which pages they read.
• Google AdSense, to show advertisements.
