Privacy policy
The short version: there are no accounts, we don't sell your data, and we only have your email if you sign up for the weekly.
What stays on your device
Your starred theaters, light or dark mode, and the last listings you loaded are saved in your own browser so the page opens fast. They never leave your device, and clearing your browser data removes them.
Visit counts
We use Vercel Web Analytics to count page views and see which pages are useful. It doesn't use cookies and doesn't identify you. We also keep anonymous totals of taps on a few buttons, like Support.
Ads
PDX Movies shows ads from Google AdSense to help cover its costs. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies lets it and its partners serve ads to you based on those visits.
- You can turn off personalized ads in Google's Ads Settings.
- You can opt out of many third-party vendors' personalized ads at aboutads.info.
- Read how Google uses information from sites that use its services.
Distance and location
If you sort by distance from your location, your browser asks first, and your position is used only on your device. If you type a zip code or address instead, we look it up with OpenStreetMap's geocoder to find its coordinates. We don't store it.
The weekly email
If you sign up for the weekly, your email address is kept by Kit, our email service, and used only to send it. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe.
Other services
The weather line at the bottom of the page comes from Open-Meteo for the city as a whole, not your location. Trailers play from YouTube, which has its own policies once you press play. Tickets are sold by each theater, and Ko-fi handles support payments.
Kids
PDX Movies is for a general audience and isn't directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect information from them.
