Privacy and Risk Policy: How We Handle Your Data and the Risks You Should Know

Every page on filmzilla.org links here. Please read this policy before using the site, and contact us if anything is unclear.

Information This Site Collects

filmzilla.org collects only the information needed to run the site and understand how it is used. The 3 types of information are listed below.

• Usage data: pages visited, time on page, device type, browser and approximate location, collected by analytics tools.
• Technical data: IP address and server logs, kept by our web host for security and error checks.
• Messages you send us: your name, email address and message, if you contact us.

The site does not ask for passwords, payment details or OTPs. A page that asks for these while claiming to be filmzilla.org is not ours.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking cookies does not stop the site from working, but some ads may become less relevant.

Third-Party Links and Apps

Links to other websites and apps on this site go to services that have their own privacy policies. filmzilla.org does not control those services, so check their policies before you sign up or share any personal information. Official streaming apps such as Netflix, Prime Video and JioHotstar publish their policies in their apps and on their websites.

Legal Risks of Movie Piracy in India

Downloading or sharing copyrighted films without the owner's permission is illegal in India. The table below shows the penalties under the 2 main laws.

The Supreme Court held in 2022 that offences under Section 63 of the Copyright Act are cognizable and non-bailable. Torrents add a further risk, because every torrent downloader also uploads, which counts as distributing the film. This section is general information, not legal advice. For advice about your own situation, speak to a qualified lawyer.

1. Malware disguised as movie files, such as .exe or .apk files named after a film
2. Fake download buttons that install unwanted software or browser extensions
3. Forced redirects to gambling, adult or scam pages
4. Phishing forms that ask for a phone number, OTP or card details
5. Apps that request SMS, contacts or accessibility access, which can expose banking OTPs

An APK installed from outside the Google Play Store or Apple App Store skips the store's app review, so nobody checks what it does.

How to Protect Your Device

To protect your device from these risks, follow the 6 steps below.

1. Keep your phone, browser and security app updated.
2. Install apps only from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store.
3. Keep Install unknown apps turned off in Android settings.
4. Never enter passwords, OTPs or card details on a page you reached through a pop-up.
5. If you download a suspicious file, do not open it. Delete it and run a scan with Google Play Protect.
6. If an app had SMS access, change your passwords and call your bank.
