DramaCatalog (dramacatalog.com) is a free guide to short-drama apps. You can use all of it without an account, and we don't ask you for any personal information.
What we collect
We don't run accounts, sign-ups or comment sections, and we don't use advertising cookies or show personalized ads. The two things you can send us are a star rating and a message through the contact form, both described below.
Visitor statistics
We use Clicky to count visits: which pages are viewed, which site sent the visitor, the browser and device type, the approximate location based on the IP address, and which "Watch on" buttons are clicked. Clicky may set a first-party cookie to tell new visitors from returning ones. We use these statistics only to see which pages are useful, and we don't combine them with any other information about you.
Like every website, our hosting provider receives standard technical information when your browser requests a page: your IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time. It uses this to deliver the site, keep it secure and stop abuse. We don't use it to identify you.
Star ratings
You can rate a series from 1 to 5 stars without an account. When you do, we store the rating, the series, the time,
and a random identifier in a cookie called dcv, so that rating again changes your vote instead of adding
a second one. That cookie is sent only to our ratings service, never with ordinary page requests, and it says nothing
about who you are. Your browser also remembers which stars you picked, so it can show them next time.
To stop one person voting many times, we also keep a scrambled code made from your IP address. It is a one-way keyed hash, so the address itself is never stored, and we delete the code 30 days after your last vote. Only the average and the number of ratings are ever shown. To prevent automated voting, the rating button may run a check from Cloudflare Turnstile, which processes browser data under Cloudflare's own policy.
Images from other services
Our fonts are served from our own domain. Series cover images load from the apps' own image servers (ReelShort and DramaBox), so when your browser fetches a cover, that service receives your IP address and browser details, as described in its own privacy policy.
"Watch on" links
Buttons labelled "Watch on…", "Open…" or "Available on…" go through a link on our domain (dramacatalog.com/go/)
and then to the app through an affiliate partner. The partner and the app record that the click came from us, so
that a commission can be credited if you install the app or buy something. From that point, the partner's and the
app's own privacy policies apply. Read more on how we make money.
What we don't do
- We don't sell or rent personal information.
- We don't build profiles of visitors or show personalized ads.
- We don't knowingly collect information from children.
If you write to us through the contact form, we use your email address and message only to reply, and we delete correspondence we no longer need.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR in the EU and UK, or the CCPA in California), you can ask what personal data we hold about you, and ask us to correct or delete it. Because we don't collect personal data through the site, in most cases there will be nothing to hand over. Email us and we'll answer.
Changes
If we change how we handle data, we'll update this page and the effective date above first.
