The short version
Stream Sub Total stores as little as it can. There are no ads, no analytics trackers, and nothing is sold or shared for marketing.
What we store
If you use the site as a guest
Nothing is stored on our server. Your country, selected services, plans, prices, leagues and watchlist are saved in your own browser (local storage) so they're there when you come back. Clearing your browser data removes them.
If you create an account
- Username you choose. It doesn't need to be your real name.
- Email address, only if you add one. It's used to reset your password and, if you leave them on, for two emails: a weekly digest of your bill and list, and alerts when a subscription on your bill changes price. Both can be turned off under Account, and nothing is sent until you confirm the address.
- Password, stored only as a salted scrypt hash. We can't see it and can't recover it.
- Your selections: country, services, plans, any prices you edited, bundles, leagues and your watchlist, so they follow you across devices.
- A session cookie (named
session) that keeps you signed in for 30 days. It's a random token,HttpOnly, and used for nothing else.
That's the whole list. We don't log IP addresses to a database, and we don't record what you search for.
Third parties
- TMDB (The Movie Database) provides movie and TV data, including where titles stream (data by JustWatch). Your searches are sent to TMDB from our server, not from your browser, so TMDB doesn't see who you are. Poster and logo images load directly from TMDB's image servers, which means your browser makes requests to them like it would for any image on the web.
- ESPN provides game schedules through its public scoreboard feed. Schedules are fetched by our server. Team logos load from ESPN's image servers.
- Our host (Railway) runs the server and may keep standard, short-lived server logs for operating the service.
- Resend delivers our emails. It sees your address and the message content, like any email provider.
Sign-up and referral links
Links to streaming services go to those services' own websites, which have their own privacy policies. Some of these may be referral links, meaning the site owner may earn a commission if you subscribe. When that's the case, a notice appears in the footer of the main page. Referral links don't change what you pay, and we don't receive any information about you from those services.
Cookies
One cookie, only if you sign in: the session cookie described above. Signing out deletes it. There are no advertising or tracking cookies.
Deleting your data
- Guests: clear this site's data in your browser settings.
- Accounts: sign in and click Delete account next to your username. That permanently removes your account, sessions and saved selections. There's no waiting period and no backup copy we keep on purpose.
Children
The site isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top will change with it. Material changes will be mentioned on the main page.
