Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 23, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect when you use CrownDrama, how we use it and what your rights are. We process your data in accordance with applicable law, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Turkish Personal Data Protection Law No. 6698 (KVKK).
1. Data we collect
- Account data: when you sign up, your email address, username and an irreversibly hashed version of your password.
- Usage data: the series and episodes you watch, your watch progress, the series you add to your list or like, and the series requests you send.
- Technical data: IP address, browser and device type, language preference, pages visited, referring address and approximate location (country level).
- Correspondence: messages and attachments you send us by email.
2. How we use your data
- To create your account, keep you signed in and verify your email address.
- To let you continue watching where you left off and to save your list and preferences.
- To measure, troubleshoot and improve the Site, and to prevent fake traffic and abuse.
- To show ads and measure their performance.
- To meet our legal obligations and respond to legal requests, including copyright notices.
3. Legal bases
We process your data on the basis of performing our contract with you (the Terms of Use), our legitimate interests (security, measurement, improving the service), our legal obligations and, where required, your consent (e.g. personalised advertising and certain cookies).
4. Who we share data with
We do not sell your personal data. Your data is shared only as far as necessary to provide the service, with the following service providers:
- Hosting, content delivery network (CDN) and security providers.
- An email delivery service (for verification and notification emails).
- An analytics service (Google Analytics).
- Ad networks (to serve and measure ads).
- Competent public authorities, where required by law.
Some of these providers may be located outside your country; in that case your data is transferred with the safeguards required by applicable law.
5. Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your language, measure the Site and show ads. See our Cookie Policy for details.
6. Retention
We keep your account data for as long as your account is open. When you close your account, your data is deleted or anonymised within a reasonable period; records we must keep for legal reasons are retained for the period required by law. Analytics data may be kept longer as aggregated, anonymous statistics.
7. Your rights
Under applicable law you have the right to:
- Find out whether your data is processed and access it.
- Ask for inaccurate or incomplete data to be corrected.
- Ask for your data to be deleted or its processing restricted.
- Receive your data in a portable format.
- Object to processing based on legitimate interests and withdraw your consent at any time.
- Lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority.
To exercise your rights, write to [email protected] from the email address registered to your account. We respond to requests within 30 days at the latest.
8. Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, such as encrypted connections (HTTPS), irreversible password hashing and access restrictions. However, no method of transmission over the internet is completely secure.
9. Children's privacy
The Site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you become aware that such data has been collected, let us know and we will delete it without delay.
10. Changes and contact
We may update this policy from time to time; the current version is always on this page. For privacy questions and requests: [email protected]
