The short version

Blu-ray HQ keeps what it needs to run your collection and nothing it can sell. We don’t show ads, we don’t sell or rent your data, and we don’t share your email with anyone except the services that send our own mail.

What we collect

• Your account. Your name, your email address, and a hashed form of your password. We never store the password itself.
• Your collection. The releases you add, the shelves you arrange, your watchlist, the conditions and notes you record, and the files you upload to import a collection. Import files are read to build your collection and kept so the import can be reviewed.
• Barcode scans. When you scan a disc, the barcode is sent to our server to look it up. If our catalog doesn’t know it, the barcode alone is sent to eBay’s product API to identify the disc. No account details travel with it.
• Feedback. Notes you send through the feedback form, with the page you sent them from and your browser’s user agent string, so we can reproduce what you hit.
• Usage. Which pages you visit and which features you use, through PostHog. Events are tied to your account id and display name, not your email. We use this to see what collectors actually do.

Cookies

A session cookie keeps you signed in. PostHog sets a cookie to tell one visit from the next. That’s the list.

Email

We email you about your own account: password resets, an import that has finished, and watchlist alerts you have turned on. Mail comes from no-reply@blurayhq.com. There is no newsletter yet; if one starts, it will be opt-in.

Services we rely on

• Vercel hosts the site and Supabase holds the database.
• TMDB supplies film titles, posters and credits. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.
• eBay’s product API identifies barcodes our catalog lacks.
• Twilio delivers our email.
• PostHog handles usage analytics.
• Stripe will process marketplace payments when trading opens. No real transactions run today.
• Some Buy links go to Amazon. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases; Amazon sets its own cookies once you are on their site.

The shared catalog

Releases you add to the catalog become part of a database every collector uses. The release itself is shared; which copies you own is yours and shows only on your collection.

Your choices

You can edit or remove anything in your collection at any time. To delete your account, or to get a copy of your data, send a note through the feedback form and we will do it by hand and confirm when it is done. Account deletion removes your collection, watchlist and feedback; releases you contributed stay in the shared catalog without your name on them.

Changes

When this page changes, the date at the top changes with it. If a change affects how your data is used, we will say so on the site before it takes effect.
