Privacy

MyMDb needs an account for exactly one reason: a ballot has to belong to somebody, or “one list per person” is unenforceable. That is the whole purpose of everything below.

What is stored

When you sign in with Google or Discord, we store:

  • Your name, email address and avatar URL, as your provider reports them.
  • The access and refresh tokens your provider issues. These identify your account to us on your next visit. They are never shown to anyone and never sent to a third party.
  • A session token in an httpOnly cookie, so you stay signed in.
  • Your ballots — which titles you ranked, in which category, in what order, and when you last changed them.

There is no analytics, no advertising, and no third-party tracker on this site.

What is public

Your ballots are counted into the public boards, but they are published only as totals — points and how many people placed a title at each rank. Your name is never attached to a title in public, and no page lists an individual person’s ballot except your own lists page, which only you can see.

Who else is involved

  • Google or Discord, whichever you sign in with. We receive your profile from them; they do not receive your ballots.
  • TMDB supplies title data and artwork. Poster images load in your browser directly from image.tmdb.org, so TMDB can see those image requests. We send them no information about you.
  • Vercel and Supabase host the site and the database.

How long it is kept

Until you delete it. There is no scheduled purge, and no backup of your data is sold or shared.

Removing it

Open your lists page and use Delete account. It removes your account, your tokens and every ballot you have cast, and the boards are recounted without your votes immediately. It is irreversible — we keep no copy afterwards.
