Clicker FAQ

Is my Clicker profile public?

When you create a new Clicker account your Profile is public by default, but you can change it to private at any time by clicking here: http://www.clicker.com/user/privacy/

This page is also found on the Privacy tab in the Settings menu of your Profile.

What information is shared with other users when my profile is public?

Clicker users will be able to view your Queue additions and ratings, as well as your viewing history for shows you've expressly marked as watched.

Will my history include things I've watched, but don't expressly mark as watched?

Nope. So if you want to watch The Hills in private you can feel free. We'll only add items to your history if you've chosen to publicly promote them via ratings or mark them as watched for your friends to see.

What's a Rating?

On every show, movie, and episode page on Clicker you'll see the option to rate by clicking a "Love It" or a "Don't" button. These actions will produce a popularity score for that show based on the rating results from all Clicker users.

What does it mean to mark something as watched?

It's a public declaration of what you're watching. You can mark any episode as watched on Clicker.com even if you watched it on TV. The same goes for movies you've watched at the theater. For smart phone users, you can download our iPhone or Android apps to let your friends know what you are watching on the go.

How does Clicker use Facebook to personalize my experience?

We’ve partnered with Facebook to let you automatically bring your interests and friends to Clicker to make your experience more social and personalized. For example, this allows us to offer you tailored recommendations, surface your friends’ activity on the site, and jump start your Clicker profile using your public information. Learn more.

What information from Facebook do you use to personalize my experience?

We only use your public Facebook information and friends list to customize your experience on Clicker. If you decide to create a public profile, we request your permission to send you email, post to your wall (only when you tell us to) and access your interests. You can turn off personalization by disconnecting your Clicker profile or deleting your account altogether.
