Privacy
Last updated 9 November 2026
In short
No cookies, no analytics, no advertising, no tracking. Everything, including the posters and fonts, is served from our own server in Switzerland. The only thing you can send is your name, when you tap “I want to watch it as well”. Trailers play in a YouTube player, which only loads when you press “Trailer”.
Who is responsible
Pio Gino Steiner, Switzerland · info@piogino.ch
movies.piogino.ch is a private, non-commercial hobby project.
What happens when you visit
| What | Where | What it receives |
|---|---|---|
| The website, posters and fonts | Our own server at Infomaniak, Switzerland | Your IP address, time, the page requested and browser details, written to the server log for operation and security. The log is deleted after 14 days. |
| “Trailer” (only when you press it) | YouTube: Google LLC, USA, in privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com) |
Your IP address, browser details, the video and the page it is shown on. See below. |
| “I want to watch it as well” | Our own server; a notification via Telegram (see below) | The name you type and the movie you chose. |
“I want to watch it as well”
The name you enter and the movie are stored on our server so I know whom to bring which movie. Nothing else is stored with it. I also get the same information (name and movie title) as a message in the Telegram app, which is operated by Telegram Messenger Inc.; it reaches Telegram's servers outside Switzerland, including countries without an equivalent level of data protection. Requests are deleted when I have handled them, and at the latest after 180 days; the Telegram message stays in my chat until I delete it. Please only enter your name, nothing else.
Trailers
Pressing “Trailer” opens the trailer in a YouTube player on this page. Only then does your browser connect to
YouTube (Google LLC, USA), which receives your IP address, browser details and which video you watch, and may store
data in your browser to play the video. We use YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com),
in which, according to Google, viewing is not used to personalise your YouTube experience or ads. Closing the
player removes it from the page. Google states that it participates in the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework; see
Google's privacy policy.
For movies without a trailer link, “Trailer” opens a YouTube search in a new tab instead.
Links to other sites
The Metascore opens Metacritic, and “Open on YouTube” opens YouTube, in a new tab. Nothing from those sites is loaded until you click, after which their own privacy policies apply. Movie data and posters come from TMDB and OMDb, and emotes from 7TV, but your browser never contacts them: our server fetches them and serves them itself.
Stored in your browser
This site sets no cookies. It only keeps your current sorting and filter choice (movies-view) in
the session storage of the open tab, so the list looks the same when you come back to it; your browser deletes it
when you close the tab, and it is never sent to us. Only if you play a trailer may the YouTube player store data in
your browser (see Trailers).
Your rights
Under the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) you can ask what personal data about you is processed, and have it corrected or deleted, for example a request with your name. Write to info@piogino.ch. You can also contact the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC).
