Privacy Policy

At AnimeStars.TV, we take your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what we don't do with it.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide better services and a personalized experience:

• Account Information: When you register, we collect your username, email address, and (optional) profile preferences such as language and watch status.
• Watchlist & Tracking Data: The anime series you mark as "watching", "completed", "plan to watch", or "dropped" — stored against your account so you can sync between devices.
• User-Generated Content: Reviews, comments, and fan art you post on the platform. You retain ownership; you grant us a display license (see Terms).
• Usage Data: Aggregated, anonymized analytics about which pages and series are popular, so we can prioritize new features and bug fixes.
• Log Data: Like most websites, our servers log basic request data (IP address truncated, browser type, pages visited) for security and abuse prevention. Logs are rotated within 30 days.

2. Cookies & Third-Party Advertising

AnimeStars.TV uses a minimal set of first-party cookies to remember your login session and language preference. We do not use advertising cookies directly.

3. What We Don't Do With Your Data

• We do not sell your email, username, or any personally identifiable information to data brokers or third parties.
• We do not share your private watchlist or activity with other users.
• We do not collect biometric, financial, or government-identifier data.
• We do not host, store, or link to pirated anime content. All outbound links go to official, licensed broadcasters.

4. How We Use Information

We use the collected data only to:

• Provide and improve the anime information and tracking services you signed up for.
• Notify you about updates to series on your watchlist (if you've opted in to email alerts).
• Protect the community from spam, abuse, and security incidents.
• Comply with legal obligations (e.g. DMCA takedown requests, lawful information requests).

5. Data Security

We use industry-standard measures (TLS encryption in transit, hashed passwords at rest, restricted database access) to protect your personal information. No system is 100% secure, but we continuously work to minimize risk. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us immediately at [email protected].

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate data from your profile settings.
• Delete your account and associated data — email [email protected] from the address tied to your account.
• Opt out of personalized advertising via Google Ads Settings.

7. Children's Privacy

AnimeStars is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has registered, please contact us and we will delete the account.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be announced on the homepage and via an in-site banner for at least 14 days before they take effect. The "last updated" date below reflects when this version was published.

Last updated: July 2026.
