Privacy Policy
Last updated 11 September 2026
This page explains what Onsemble collects, why we collect it, who can see it and what choices you have. We only collect what we need to run rooms, calls and synced playback.
What we collect
- Account details — your email address, display name and avatar. If you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email and profile picture from Google.
- Room content — room names, membership, invite codes, preferences, watch history entries, bookshelf items and notes, and the photos and captions you upload.
- Technical data — basic logs needed to keep the service running and secure, such as errors and connection failures.
What we don't collect
We don't record your video calls. Camera, microphone and screen streams travel directly between members' browsers; where a direct connection isn't possible, encrypted traffic is passed through a relay server that cannot read it. Nothing from a call is stored on our servers.
We don't sell your data, and we don't use it for advertising or third-party ad tracking.
The browser extension
The Onsemble extension reads the playback state of the video on a supported streaming page — playing, paused and the current position — and passes it to the members of your room so playback stays in step. It doesn't read page content, browsing history, passwords or anything from other tabs, and it doesn't copy or store video.
Who can see your content
Photos, bookshelf items, notes and history in a saved room are visible to the members of that room, and to nobody else. Photo files are held in private storage and served through short-lived links to signed-in members. Anyone with a guest room code can join that room while it's active.
Where your data is stored
Account and room data is stored in our managed database and file storage, protected by access rules that check your membership on every request. Data may be processed on servers outside your country.
How long we keep it
Room content stays until you or another member deletes it, or the room is deleted. When you delete your account we remove your profile and the content you own, apart from short-lived backups that expire on their own.
Your choices
- Edit or remove your display name and avatar from your account page at any time.
- Delete individual photos, bookshelf items and history entries from a room.
- Leave a room to stop sharing with it.
- Ask for a copy of your data, or for it to be deleted, by emailing sage@sagefranch.com.
- Remove the extension from your browser to stop all playback sync.
Cookies and local storage
We use cookies and browser storage only for essentials: keeping you signed in and remembering preferences such as your chosen camera and microphone. There are no advertising cookies.
Children
Onsemble isn't intended for anyone under 18, and we don't knowingly collect their data.
Changes and contact
We'll update this page when our practices change and adjust the date at the top. Privacy questions can be sent to sage@sagefranch.com.
