Privacy Policy

Welcome to AniPlay. We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect your data when you visit our website (aniplay.devs.surf), use our mobile applications, or interact with our anime streaming services.

If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please immediately discontinue use of our Services.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information that you voluntarily provide to us, as well as data collected automatically when you use our platform.

• Personal Information: When you register for an account, we may collect your email address, username, profile picture, and securely processed payment information (if you subscribe to Premium).
• Automatically Collected Data: We automatically collect certain technical data such as your IP address, browser type, device characteristics, operating system, language preferences, and your watch history (e.g., episodes watched, video progress).

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to provide, maintain, and improve our platform. Specific uses include:

• Creating and managing your user account.
• Personalizing your experience by saving your "My List" and "Continue Watching" progress.
• Processing secure payments for premium features.
• Monitoring platform usage to fix bugs, prevent fraud, and enhance video streaming performance.
• Sending you important administrative emails regarding your account, changes to our terms, or security alerts.

3. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal data. We only share your information with third parties in the following strictly limited situations:

• Service Providers: We share data with third-party vendors who perform services for us (e.g., secure payment processors, cloud hosting providers, and analytics tools).
• Legal Obligations: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of AniPlay, our users, or others.

4. Cookies & Local Storage

We use local storage (e.g., `localStorage`) and cookies to remember your device and preferences. For example, we use these technologies to keep you logged in, save your Dark/Light mode preferences, and track exactly what timestamp you reached in a specific anime episode so you can resume later. You may configure your browser to reject cookies, but this may cause parts of the AniPlay website to function incorrectly.

5. Children's Privacy

AniPlay is not directed toward children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information without consent, please contact us immediately so we can delete the data.

6. Data Security & Your Rights

We implement industry-standard organizational and technical security measures designed to protect your personal information. However, no electronic transmission over the internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure.

Depending on your location (such as under the GDPR or CCPA), you have the right to access, correct, export, or permanently delete the personal data we hold about you. You can manage most of this directly in your Profile settings, or by contacting our support team.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated "Effective Date" at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this privacy notice frequently to be informed of how we are protecting your information.
