What we know about you is almost nothing.

SceneF has no accounts, sets no cookies of its own, runs no advertising, and embeds no third-party trackers. There is no sign-up because there is nothing to sign up for. What follows is the complete inventory of data this site touches.

Your taste profile stays in your browser

Preferences — a home theater, liked genres, a time window — are stored in your own browser’s localStorage and appended to URLs as you browse. They never reach a database on our side; ranking happens per request and is forgotten when the response is sent. Sharing a personalized link shares those preferences with whoever you send it to, because they are literally in the URL — that is the whole mechanism.

The ticket door counts crossings, not people

Every ticket link passes through a redirect on this site so we can tell theaters how many readers we sent them. Each crossing is recorded as: a timestamp, which screening, and whether the visitor’s software identified as a human browser, an AI assistant, or a bot. We do not store IP addresses, names, or any identifier that could tie a click to a person, and there is nothing linking one click to another. The aggregate figures are public at /numbers.

The page you land on belongs to the theater or its ticketing company, and their privacy policy takes over at their door. When you tap Tickets you go to the theater’s or its ticketer’s own box office.No ticket link pays SceneF anything today: no affiliate program is live, and every link goes to the vendor unwrapped. If that changes, this line changes with it — the programs are named on /status before the first wrapped link ships, and what appears on the board, and where, is never for sale either way.

The networks that pay it are named here, and a new one is added before its first link ships: Impact, for Ticketmaster. What the click carries is the identifier that network issues to attribute a sale — and nothing about you. No name, no email, no account, no visitor ID, no profile: those do not exist here to pass on. The redirect exists so we can count the door, and so the network can attribute the ticket.

We count doors, not people

Once per browsing session, the site records which door you came through — the domain that referred you (a search engine, an AI assistant, a shared link) and which page you landed on, as a daily tally. That is the entire record: no visitor ID, no IP address, no cookie, and nothing that could connect one visit to another or a visit to a person. It exists so we can tell theaters, honestly, where their audiences are coming from.

Agents and the API

When an AI assistant (including the SceneF GPT or our MCP server) asks this site for showtimes, we receive only the request itself — the date, filters, and preference parameters it chose to send. We never see your conversation with the assistant, and we keep no record tied to you. The assistant’s own operator has its own privacy policy for what you typed there.

Mail and hosting

If you email info@scenef.com, we keep the correspondence like anyone keeps mail, and use it only to reply. The site is served by Vercel, whose infrastructure keeps standard, short-lived access logs to run the service; we don’t mine them.

How long any of it is kept

This section exists because a policy that describes what it collects and never says how long it keeps it is incomplete — and because two directories that list this site’s connector reject a privacy policy on exactly that omission.

Your taste profile is kept by your browser and deleted when you clear it; nothing about it is retained on our side at all, because nothing about it ever arrived. The demand log — the counted crossings and the unmet asks — is aggregated by month and holds no identifier that could be traced back to a person, so it is kept indefinitely as a coverage record rather than as a record of anyone. Vercel’s access logs are theirs, short-lived, and we do not mine them or copy them anywhere. Email is kept as long as correspondence is useful and deleted on request.

What leaves this site, and what does not

Nothing about you is sold, and nothing is shared with a data broker, an advertiser or an analytics vendor, because none of those relationships exist. Three things do leave, and this is all of them: the site is hosted by Vercel, so a request reaches their infrastructure before it reaches ours; a ticket link sends you to the theatre’s own box office, which is a normal outbound link and their privacy policy applies once you arrive; and mail sent to us passes through Google Workspace. The connector and API surfaces send nothing onward at all — a tool call is answered from our own dataset and the conversation that prompted it is never stored, never logged, and never used to train anything.

Changes

If any of this changes, this page changes first, and the practice follows — not the other way around. Questions to info@scenef.com.
