Privacy

Last updated 3 September 2026. Applies to the Lumen apps for Windows, Android and Android TV, and to this website.

The short version

Lumen has no accounts and collects no analytics, no crash reports and no telemetry. Your library, watch progress, addons and settings live on your device. If you turn sync on, they are encrypted on your device before they leave it, and our relay stores only data it cannot read.

Who is responsible

Lumen is published by Vik Mortier, Zaventem, Belgium (“we”). Contact: hello@lumen.movie.

What the app stores on your device

Your library, watch progress, installed addons, settings, downloaded files you asked for, cached images and metadata, and a diagnostic log kept on the device. You can back this data up and restore it from within the app, and you delete it by removing the app or using Settings → Storage.

What leaves your device, and to whom

• Addons. Lumen sends requests to the addons you install (and to the two bundled metadata and subtitle addons, Cinemeta and OpenSubtitles) when you browse, search, open a title or fetch subtitles. Those requests contain what is needed for the request: title identifiers, search text, and for subtitles a hash of the file. Each addon is a third-party service with its own privacy practices; you choose which ones to install.
• Sync (optional). When you turn sync on, your library, progress, addon list and player preferences are encrypted on your device with keys derived from your pairing code, which never leaves your devices. The relay receives and stores only opaque identifiers and the encrypted data, plus the network address of the connecting device for the duration of the request. We cannot read the data. We delete a household’s encrypted data on request. If you use your own relay, none of this reaches us.
• Optional integrations you enable yourself. TMDB (artwork and descriptions) and Trakt (scrobbling and watched history) are contacted only if you enter your own API key or log in, under their own terms and privacy policies.
• Trailers. Pressing “Trailer” fetches the trailer from the video platform that hosts it (YouTube), from your device.

Lumen itself sends nothing to us. The app does not contact lumen.movie today; a future update check would fetch a small version file from our downloads host and nothing else.

This website

lumen.movie sets no cookies, loads no third-party resources and uses no analytics. Our server keeps standard technical logs for security, which contain IP addresses and are deleted on a short rotation.

Legal basis and your rights (EU)

We process the minimal technical data above to provide the service you asked for (performance of a contract) and to keep it secure (legitimate interest). You have the rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection under the GDPR, and the right to lodge a complaint with the Belgian Data Protection Authority. Because we hold no account and no readable personal data, most requests are met by deleting data on your device or, for sync, by asking us to remove your household’s encrypted data.

Children

Lumen is not directed at children under 16.

Changes

We will post changes to this page and update the date above.
