Go out with confidence
The Safety Center gives the official French numbers (112, 17, 15, 114, 3919) and opens your phone’s own call or SMS screen. CineBuddy never calls anyone by itself and is not an emergency service.
Where the data comes from
Cinema information comes from the public open data of the CNC and the French Ministry of Culture (Licence Ouverte). Showtimes are not in the app yet: the Showtimes button opens a web search.

Privacy
CineBuddy 2.0
No account, no advertising, no data collected (App Store privacy label: Data Not Collected).
Your location is used only to sort the cinemas by distance, on your device. You can choose a town instead.
Calendar access is used only to add your outings and to move or remove CineBuddy’s own events when an outing changes. CineBuddy never reads, keeps or sends any other event. If you decline, the outing can still be added with Apple’s own event sheet, which needs no permission.
Nothing leaves your device.
Support
The app is in French and English and follows your device’s language. For any question, write to us: please say which device you use.
