Hazlitt
Terms of Service
Last updated: March 2026
What Hazlitt is
Hazlitt is a preference profiling service. You rate films, TV shows, and other media. We use those ratings to predict how much you will enjoy things you haven't seen yet, expressed as a Hazlitt score from 0 to 100.
Your account
You can use Hazlitt anonymously or with a registered account. Anonymous sessions are tied to your browser. If you clear your data or switch devices, your ratings may be lost unless you have created an account. We recommend registering to preserve your preference profile.
Founder membership
A Founder membership costs $3 USD per month, billed through Stripe. Founders receive unlimited reviews across all categories, access to our full AI model, and a personalised email digest of new releases with Hazlitt scores.
You may cancel at any time. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period. Founder status is intended to be permanent — if and when Hazlitt becomes sustainable through data licensing and sponsorships, we intend to remove the paywall entirely and retain all benefits for existing Founders indefinitely.
We do not offer refunds for partial billing periods.
Data we collect
We collect the ratings you submit (like, dislike, meh, not seen), the media items you rate, your session and account information, and your email address if you provide one. We do not collect payment details — those are handled entirely by Stripe.
How we use your data
Your ratings are used to generate your personal preference profile and Hazlitt scores. We also use aggregate, anonymised data — meaning data that cannot be linked back to you — for research, product improvement, and commercial purposes including licensing to studios, streaming platforms, publishers, and other media industry partners.
We will never sell data that identifies you personally. Aggregate data is always stripped of personally identifiable information before any commercial use.
Email communications
If you opt in to the email digest, we will send you new release recommendations at your chosen frequency (weekly, fortnightly, or monthly). You can turn this off at any time in your account settings. We will not send you marketing email beyond the digest without your separate consent.
Intellectual property
Your ratings are yours. We license them from you on a non-exclusive basis to operate and improve the service and to generate anonymised aggregate insights as described above. You can request deletion of your account and all associated data at any time by contacting us.
Limitation of liability
Hazlitt is provided as-is. We make no guarantees about the accuracy of Hazlitt scores or the availability of the service. To the extent permitted by law, our liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the three months preceding any claim.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. If we make material changes we will notify registered users by email. Continued use of the service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
