1. In short

• ✓We collect as little as possible: your email, age tier and birth year, country, your ratings and what you do in the app.
• ✓We never store precise location, and we never sell data.
• ✓No ads, and no profiling of minors for marketing.
• ✓You can download all your data as JSON and delete your account whenever you like.
• ✓Children under 13 have no account of their own, only a child profile a parent creates and can delete.

2. Who is responsible

The controller of your personal data is:

We have assessed that the service does not trigger a statutory requirement for a Data Protection Officer. Responsibility for privacy rests with Kristian Braathen, reachable at info@abbovakt.no. We carry out a DPIA before launch because we process children’s data at scale.

3. What we process, why, and on what basis

We never ask for special categories of personal data (health, religion, politics, sexual orientation). Please do not put such details in notes or comments.

4. Children and parental consent

• •Children under 13 cannot create their own account. They exist only as a child profile under a parent account, in line with GDPR article 8. The parent creates the profile, accepts the terms on the child’s behalf and can delete it at any time.
• •The age at which you can consent to digital services yourself is 13 in Norway and varies between 13 and 16 across the EU/EEA. We apply the limit that applies in your country.
• •Everyone under 18 has a private profile, is not discoverable by strangers, has no location data, and never gets ads or marketing profiling.
• •A child profile logs in with a code the parent can reset. The parent can see which devices have used the code.
• •We follow the UK Age Appropriate Design Code where we offer the service in the United Kingdom, and COPPA in the United States.

5. Who we share with

We never sell personal data. We use processors who may only process data on our instructions, under a data processing agreement:

We also disclose data where the law requires it, in particular where child sexual abuse material is found, which is reported to Kripos in Norway and to NCMEC for United States users.

6. Transfers outside the EEA

We choose EU regions for storage where the provider offers them. Some providers still process data in the United States. Those transfers rest on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and, where the provider is certified, the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, combined with encryption in transit and at rest. You can ask us for a copy of the transfer safeguards.

7. How long we keep it

• •Account data and content: as long as you have an account. On deletion everything is removed within 30 days, except what the law requires us to keep.
• •Moderation logs and safety incidents: up to 24 months, because they are needed to stop repeat abuse and to document how we handled a case.
• •Purchase records: five years after the end of the financial year, as Norwegian bookkeeping law requires.
• •Aggregated statistics that cannot be linked back to you may be kept for longer.

8. Automated decisions and AI

Your match score is computed automatically by our own recommendation engine from your ratings. It is a recommendation, not a decision with legal effect for you.

Moderation of text happens automatically before publishing, and can result in content being held or rejected. Everything flagged, and any rejection you appeal, is reviewed by a human. You always get a reason and a route to appeal. See section 7 of the Terms.

9. Your rights

You have the right to access, rectification, erasure, restriction, data portability, to object to processing based on legitimate interest, and to withdraw consent. The main ones are built into the app under Settings → Privacy:

We respond within one month. If you disagree with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Norwegian Data Protection Authority, Datatilsynet (datatilsynet.no), or to the supervisory authority in your own country.

10. Security and changes

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, internal access is limited to those who need it, and age filtering and access rules are enforced on the server, never only in the app. In the event of a personal data breach we notify Datatilsynet within 72 hours, and you directly if the breach poses a high risk to you.

If we change this policy we give notice in the app at least 30 days before material changes take effect. Previous versions are available on request.

1. The agreement

These terms are an agreement between you and Abbovakt AS, company number 937 674 708, covering use of the CourtWord app and courtword.com. By creating an account you accept them. If you are below the age of majority, a parent or guardian must accept them on your behalf. The terms apply together with the Privacy Policy and the Community Guidelines.

2. The service

CourtWord is a social app for logging and rating films and series 1–100, following other people, and watching something together in a clan. We do not stream films and do not sell access to films. Film data comes from TMDB, streaming availability from JustWatch and trailers from YouTube, and can be incomplete or out of date. We may change, add or remove features, but we will not remove material paid features during an ongoing subscription period without offering you a reasonable alternative.

3. Age and account

• •You must give your correct date of birth. Your age tier governs content, contact, visibility and features.
• •If you are under 13 you may use CourtWord only as a child profile under a parent account. The parent is responsible for that use and can delete the profile at any time.
• •You are responsible for your account and login code. One account per person, and you may not transfer it.
• •Giving a false age to get around the age limits is a breach of these terms.

4. Community rules

The following is not permitted. Breaches lead to content removal, restriction or closure of the account, and in serious cases a report to the police.

• ×Child sexual abuse material, sexualisation of minors, or contacting minors for sexual purposes. This is always reported to the authorities.
• ×Harassment, hate speech, threats, or encouraging violence or self-harm.
• ×Sharing other people’s personal details, or asking minors for their age, school or address, or to move the conversation to another app.
• ×Pornographic or graphically violent content, and content inappropriate for the age group in the thread.
• ×Spoilers without a spoiler tag, spam, advertising, rating manipulation, fake accounts and automated data scraping.
• ×Circumventing safety, age or payment mechanisms, or using the service for unlawful purposes.

New accounts are restricted for their first seven days, and there are rate limits on how much you can post in a period, to stop spam.

5. Your content

You own the content you create: ratings, notes, lists, comments and clan posts. You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to store, display and distribute that content within the service, to the extent needed to operate it, and to generate share cards from what you yourself choose to share. The licence ends when you delete the content, except for copies we must keep by law or in moderation logs.

Private notes are private: we never show them to other users, and use them for nothing other than providing the service to you.

6. Subscription, price and right of withdrawal

The whole social core is free. Director’s Cut and Ensemble are optional subscriptions bought through the App Store or Google Play, which renew automatically until you cancel.

• •There is no free trial. The free tier is the real taste of the product, along with three free match reveals a week.
• •The price is always shown with currency and period before you pay. Price changes are notified at least 30 days in advance and apply only from the next period.
• •You cancel in your App Store or Google Play settings. You keep access until the period runs out. We never use dark patterns to hide cancellation.
• •Right of withdrawal: as a consumer in the EEA you normally have a 14-day right of withdrawal. Because digital content is delivered immediately, by purchasing you consent to delivery starting at once, and the right of withdrawal then lapses under section 22(n) of the Norwegian Right of Withdrawal Act. The purchase is made with Apple or Google, so refunds follow their terms; we are happy to help you with a case.
• •Founding Member: in the first 90 days after launch, new subscribers get the yearly plan at 299 kr for the first year and a permanent badge. The offer covers the first period; after that it renews at the ordinary yearly price.

7. Moderation, reporting and appeals

All text is checked automatically before publishing. Content can be published, held for human review, or rejected with a reason. You can report any comment, profile, clan or list, and you can block other users.

Response time: within 24 hours for ordinary reports and within 1 hour for child safety. The reporter is always told the outcome.

Right of appeal under the EU Digital Services Act: if you disagree that content was removed or your account restricted, you can appeal to info@abbovakt.no within six months. The appeal is handled by a human who did not make the original decision, and you receive a reasoned reply. You may also refer the matter to a certified out-of-court dispute settlement body or to the courts.

8. Liability

The service is provided as it is. We do not guarantee that film data, age ratings or streaming availability from third parties is always correct, or that the service is uninterrupted. We are not responsible for content other users publish.

We are liable for direct loss caused by our negligence, but not for indirect loss. For paid subscriptions our liability is limited to what you have paid in the last twelve months. Nothing in these terms limits your non-waivable consumer rights, or our liability for intent, gross negligence or personal injury.

9. Termination and changes

You can delete your account at any time in the app. We may restrict or close an account for breach of these terms, and without prior warning for serious breaches. If we close your account we tell you why, and you can appeal under section 7.

We notify material changes to these terms at least 30 days before they take effect. If you do not accept the changes, you can terminate.

10. Governing law and disputes

Norwegian law applies. If you are a consumer you can always bring a case in the court where you live, and you keep the protection of the law of your own country. Consumers in Norway can complain to the Norwegian Consumer Authority, Forbrukertilsynet, and onward to the Consumer Disputes Committee. Otherwise Oslo District Court is the agreed venue.

11. Third parties and attribution

Streaming data by JustWatch. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB. Trailers are shown via YouTube, and YouTube’s terms apply to playback. Trademarks belong to their respective owners.

1. This website

courtword.com is a simple information site. We use no tracking or marketing cookies, and we do not share your visit with advertising networks. The first time you visit we ask whether you accept anonymous statistics. If you answer “necessary only”, we store nothing beyond your language choice and the answer itself. You can change your choice at the bottom of this page at any time.

2. What we actually store

The language choice is strictly necessary to give you the page in the language you asked for, and therefore needs no consent. You remove it by clearing your browser data.

3. Fonts and embedded content

This site loads fonts from Google Fonts and its script library (React) from unpkg.com. Those providers see your IP address in order to deliver the files, but no cookie is set and it is not used for profiling. If you watch a trailer in the app, YouTube’s own cookies and terms apply to that playback.

4. In the app

The mobile app does not use cookies. It stores a login session on the device, and uses Firebase Analytics and Crashlytics with an app identifier to measure use and find bugs. We never use advertising identifiers, and we never profile minors. How that data is handled is set out in the Privacy Policy.

5. Changes

If we later introduce marketing cookies, we will ask for fresh consent first, and this page will be updated before any such cookie is set.
