terms
updated 8 November 2026
Vignity is a place to keep the films, series, records and books that matter to you, find others, and meet the people who keep the same ones. It’s free, it has no ads, and nothing you put in it is sold.
This page says three things: Vignity’s rules, what Vignity does with your data, and who publishes it. The French version is the reference.
1. the rules
- Your account. You must be 15 or older. One account per person; your password stays yours.
- Your notebook is private: only you see it, except what you choose yourself to show. Keep in it only what you have the right to keep; someone else’s image or quote stays theirs. You can show items chosen one by one to a member (« montrer », show) or make one into an image to share (« partager », share): put in only what you have the right to show, and nothing of someone’s private life.
- What you write (your notes, what you publish) is yours, and you answer for it. Nothing illegal, hateful or harassing, and nothing from someone else’s private life. By publishing a note, you let Vignity show it to other members until you take it down.
- Report, block. You can report a note or a member, and block a member. Vignity reads every report and answers within 24 hours. A note that breaks these rules may be taken down; a member who breaks them may be taken out of affinités, or their account closed. Vignity tells you why.
- The works. Their titles, images, descriptions and extracts come from TMDB, Deezer, Spotify, Open Library, Discogs, Wikipedia, Wikidata, Last.fm, the Internet Archive and the magazines whose articles Vignity cites, and stay their authors’. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.
- Vignity is offered as it is. We do our best for it to work and for its facts to be right, without being able to guarantee it. The service may change or stop; you can always leave with your data.
- These terms may change. The date at the top says when. A change that touches your data is announced to you beforehand, by email or in Vignity.
- These terms are governed by French law.
2. your data
Who is responsible for it
Anthony Rascle, who makes Vignity as a private individual. Contact: vignity.radio@gmail.com.
What an account needs
An email, a password and a @username: without them, no account. You can also come in with Apple or Google: they then stand in for the email and the password, and the @username is still yours to choose. In the app (iPhone and Android), Vignity also works without an account: you are then a guest, with an anonymous identifier (no email, no name), so that « for you », your shelf and search work as they do for a member. A guest publishes nothing, shares nothing, doesn’t appear in les affinités and reports no one: other members never see anything of them. When you make your account (Apple, Google or email), that account is the same identifier: everything you kept stays in it. Everything else is yours to give or not.
What Vignity keeps, why, and on what basis
| what | what for | basis (GDPR, art. 6) |
|---|---|---|
| your email, your password (only its hash), your @username, your language, and where you are (sign-up confirmed, first steps, reminder sent); if you come in with Apple or Google, the identifier they give for you and the email they share (with Apple, perhaps a relay address that forwards) | your account | the contract: these terms |
| at each sign-in, the IP address and the device | your account’s security | legitimate interest: a safe account |
| your notebook: the images, quotes, ideas and links you keep in it, where they came from, your note, the work beside them; the images made smaller on your phone, without their metadata (no place, no device), in a private space only you can read | your own space on your shelf, the same on your phones | the contract |
| your shelf: each work, to see or seen, your rating, what you write | the heart of Vignity, the same on your phone and on vignity.fr | the contract |
| your tastes: the artists you choose, your Last.fm name if you give it, your answers to the taste questions, the tracks you like or skip | suggesting works that suit you | the contract |
| your linked taste (in the app, if you choose): what was recognised in Apple Music (iPhone), your phone’s music (Android), Last.fm or your Netflix file (the albums, films and series found, how often, and the counts shown), never your whole history nor your access to those services | suggesting works that suit you from the start, and never ones you already know, in « for you » only | your consent, which you withdraw in me › linked taste |
| la pile: the works it showed you, and what you did with them (keep, pass, linger, read) | suggesting works that suit you | the contract |
| what you publish: your notes, shown to members; your shelf, shared with whom you choose | showing them | the contract |
| affinités: whether you are visible, and since when; whether you accepted showing the works you both loved, and since when; for that, your rating on the works you have in common | finding the people who keep the same works, and showing those you both loved | your consent, which you can withdraw at any time in « moi » |
| the members you block, your reports and their reason if you give one | a safe place, and its moderation | legitimate interest: a safe place |
| service emails: a shelf shared with you, the reminder to choose your @username | telling you what concerns you | the contract |
| on the iPhone, if you allow notifications: the token the iPhone gives for them, your language, your choices (shares, affinities, shelf reminders), the affinities already announced and short-lived technical receipts to avoid duplicates | telling you about a share, a strong new affinity or, if you choose, a return to your shelf at most twice a week | your consent: the iPhone asks you, and you withdraw it in moi › notifications or in the iPhone’s settings |
| whether you want news from Vignity, and when you said so | writing to you, rarely | your consent, which you can withdraw at any time in the settings |
| if you link Spotify, your Spotify id | your Spotify playlists | the contract |
| how many requests are made in a short time: per account, or per IP address (without an account, and always for sign-up) | so no one exhausts the service | legitimate interest |
| the website’s pages viewed, counted without cookies | knowing which pages help | legitimate interest |
| in the app (iPhone and Android), only if you say yes to “help vignity get better?”: what you do in the app (a card in la pile kept, passed or already seen with your rating, a work opened or kept and its catalogue id, a preview played, a thread followed), a device id drawn at random, the phone’s and the app’s model and version, your language and your country | knowing what is used in the app, to make it better | your consent: asked once, you withdraw it in me › help vignity |
What Vignity doesn’t do
No ads, no selling, no tracking from one app or site to another. The app (iPhone and Android) measures nothing without your consent: it asks you once, “help vignity get better?”. If you say yes, it sends Amplitude what you do in it, without your email, your @username, your notes, your notebook or what you search for, and without anything that ties it to your account: a device id drawn at random, neither the phone’s advertising identifier nor your IP address. If you say no, nothing leaves. You can change your mind at any time in me › help vignity: no stops the sending at once and forgets your device’s id. The website counts its page views with Vercel Web Analytics, without cookies: the page, never a work or what you search for. What Vignity suggests (la pile, affinités) comes from what you keep; no decision with legal effect on you comes from it. Vignity’s AI tools are reserved for the person responsible for it: they send nothing of the members’.
Cookies
Vignity sets no tracking cookie. The website keeps in your browser (local storage) your session, your preferences, a copy of your shelf and of what you write, and, if you link Spotify, what listening needs: without it, it wouldn’t work. The app keeps them on your phone.
Who else sees what
- Supabase keeps the accounts and their data, your notebook’s images among them, in Frankfurt, in the European Union.
- Vercel hosts the website: its functions for Vignity run in Frankfurt; its pages, its analytics and its technical logs also go through its servers elsewhere in the world, the United States included.
- Resend sends Vignity’s emails.
- Amplitude measures how the app (iPhone and Android) is used, only if you said yes, in its European Union data centre (Frankfurt). It never receives your email, your @username, or what you write or search for.
- Apple carries the notifications to your iPhone, if you allow them (the Apple Push Notification service): it receives your iPhone’s token and each notification’s text (« @nom te montre son étagère », "@name likes 12 of your works too"), nothing else.
- Gmail receives what you write to vignity.radio@gmail.com, and the reports sent to the person responsible.
- Apple, Google: if you choose « Continue with Apple » or « Continue with Google », you sign in with them, under their own rules; they tell Vignity who you are (an identifier and an email, nothing else: Vignity asks Apple for the email only) and know that you use Vignity. They are American companies, acting on their own account.
- Supabase, Vercel, Resend, Amplitude, Apple and Google are American companies: what they process for Vignity is protected by the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses, and, for Vercel, Resend, Amplitude, Apple and Google, by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. A copy of these safeguards is sent to you on request.
- The works come from TMDB, Deezer, Open Library, Discogs, Wikipedia, Wikidata, Last.fm and the Internet Archive. Vignity asks them about works, never about who you are. But their images are shown from their servers, which then see your device’s address; likewise for the magazines’ images, for an extract (Deezer, which the app also asks to find it) and for a film you watch (the Internet Archive, which also sees the film).
- Last.fm, SensCritique, Discogs: if you import from one of them, or give your Last.fm name for your tastes, Vignity asks them what that name makes public there.
- Linking your taste (in the app): Apple Music on the iPhone, or on Android the albums of your phone’s audio files, are read on your phone, once you have allowed it; so is your Netflix file. To recognise the works, only their titles (and, for music, the artists) go to Vignity, which doesn’t keep them; for Last.fm, Vignity asks it what your name makes public. Nothing is used for « for you » before you have seen what was found and said yes, and nothing goes on your shelf unless you ask. Vignity tells Apple, Google and Netflix nothing about you. « remove » or « clear all », in me › linked taste, erases what was drawn from it, on your phone at once and at Vignity as soon as it can be reached; Vignity then keeps only the date of the removal.
- Spotify: if you link it, you sign in at Spotify and listen with its player; Spotify then sees what you listen to through Vignity, under its own rules.
- A link you share to Vignity from another app is sent to it to find the work; Vignity doesn’t keep it.
- An image of a notebook item (« partager », share) is made on your phone and goes where you send it; Vignity doesn’t receive it.
- A work link you share from Vignity shows whoever opens it your rating, your note and your shelf if you put them in; Vignity keeps none of it, but its page stays cached for a few days.
- Other members see only what you choose: your published notes, your shelf if you share it with them, the items of your notebook you chose one by one for a member (without your note on them; they see them until you take them out of the choice, remove them or stop), and, if you are visible in affinités, your @username and the works you have in common; and, if you and the other member have both accepted it in the app, the works in common you both loved (« adoré » in the app, a rating of 7 to 10 out of 10). So a member who keeps a work you keep, and loved it, sees whether you loved it too. You withdraw this any time by becoming invisible.
- What the community thinks. On a work rated by 3 members or more, Vignity shows everyone the average of their ratings out of 10 and how many rated it (« vignity · 8.2/10 · 14 ratings »): never who rated it, nor anyone’s rating, and nothing under 3. A guest’s rating doesn’t count.
How long
- As long as your account exists, except as follows.
- « delete my account » (in the website’s settings, or « supprimer mon compte » in « moi » in the app, on iPhone as on Android) erases at once and for good, in Vignity’s database, your account and everything it holds: your shelf, your notebook and its images, your notes, your tastes and your linked taste, what you did in la pile, your affinités, your blocks, your notifications, and the reports made by you or about you. Signing out on the iPhone erases its token: that phone gets nothing more for that account. What then remains until it’s erased: Supabase’s sign-in logs (7 days at most) and its backups (7 days at most), the traces of emails already sent at Resend, and the report emails the person responsible received. Deleting your account from the iPhone also cuts the link with Apple; from the website or the Android app, that link is cut in your Apple Account’s settings. All you need to know to delete your account, even without the app: vignity.fr/delete-account.
- A guest (in the app, without an account) who stops using Vignity for 30 days (no opening of the app, no work kept) is erased, with everything they keep, as « delete my account » does. Make your account to keep your shelf beyond that.
- Report emails are erased once the report is handled, and after a year at the latest.
- The per-IP-address counters are erased 48 hours after your last request, give or take a few hours.
- Vercel’s technical logs are erased after one hour.
- What Amplitude receives (if you said yes) is erased after 12 months. Saying no forgets your device’s id: what has already left is no longer tied to anything your phone does next, and is erased on the same term.
