Privacy
PLAInow does not use analytics, ads, or tracking. We do not sell personal information, and we do not drop advertising or analytics cookies of our own.
On this device
Likes, play history, and preferences stay on the device. That includes which titles you liked, what you recently played, and choices such as Watch or Listen, Human or AI, and the large-type list view. Playlists you create stay on this device too. They are not sent to an account and are not used for tracking. The iPhone app keeps likes on the phone. It does not offer email sign-in or an account.
Optional email sign-in on the website
The website can offer an optional email sign-in. It is a magic link. There is no password. If you confirm the link, we store your email, the date you confirmed it, and your likes in plainow_users. That record is used only to sync likes. A session cookie remembers the sign-in in that browser. The iPhone app does not show this sign-in.
Players from other sites
Some titles play inside an official YouTube embed or an archive.org embed. Those players are loaded from those sites and follow their own privacy policies:
Deletion
To delete an account and the likes stored with it, email emailplaiground@gmail.com from the address you used to sign in. Ask us to delete the account. We will delete that plainow_users record. Likes, history, and preferences that exist only on a device are removed by clearing the site data in the browser, or by deleting the iPhone app.
