Privacy Policy

1. About this policy

This Privacy Policy explains how HAnime TV ("HAnime TV," "we," "us," or "our") handles information when you use the HAnime TV iOS app or visit this website. HAnime TV is an anime discovery, tracking, and organization app.

2. Information stored on your device

The app stores information you create or select, such as saved titles, watch status and progress, ratings, notes, search and browsing preferences, cached catalogue information, app settings, and onboarding status. This information is stored locally on your device using Apple-provided storage unless you choose to connect a third-party account.

You can remove local information using controls available in the app or by deleting the app. Deleting the app removes locally stored app data, subject to normal iOS backup behavior controlled by you and Apple.

3. Optional account integrations

You may choose to connect or use third-party anime services, including AniList and MyAnimeList-related services. When you connect an account, the app may receive your account identifier, username, profile image, anime library, list status, progress, scores, favorites, and other information you ask the app to retrieve. The app may also send changes you request, such as library or activity updates, to the connected service.

Authentication tokens are stored in the iOS Keychain on your device. We do not receive your password for these services. You can disconnect an account from the app, which removes its locally stored authentication credentials. Disconnecting HAnime TV does not delete the third-party account itself; account deletion requests must be made directly to the relevant provider.

Public catalogue and public-list features may send search terms, title identifiers, or a username you enter to services such as AniList, MyAnimeList, Jikan, or Kitsu to return the requested information.

4. Purchases and subscriptions

If you make or restore an in-app purchase, Apple processes the payment. We do not receive your full payment-card information. The app uses RevenueCat to retrieve products, validate purchase receipts, manage subscription entitlements, prevent purchase fraud, and support purchase restoration.

RevenueCat may process an anonymous app user identifier, transaction and receipt information, subscription status, product identifiers, device and operating-system information, IP address, locale, currency, and timestamps. We do not use RevenueCat information for third-party advertising or cross-app tracking.

5. Information collected automatically

When the app communicates with an online service, that service necessarily receives technical information such as your IP address, request date and time, and basic device or network information. We do not operate an advertising network and the current app does not use third-party advertising SDKs.

When you visit this website, its hosting provider may process standard server logs, including IP address, browser type, requested page, referring page, and timestamps, for delivery, reliability, and security.

6. How information is used

Information is used only as reasonably necessary to:

• provide anime discovery, tracking, library, profile, and synchronization features;
• remember your settings and maintain app functionality;
• process, validate, and restore purchases;
• respond to support requests;
• protect the app and services against fraud, abuse, and security threats; and
• comply with applicable legal obligations.

7. When information is shared

We share information only with service providers required to deliver features you choose to use, including Apple, RevenueCat, AniList, MyAnimeList, Jikan, Kitsu, and the website hosting provider. Each provider processes information under its own terms and privacy policy. We require service providers acting on our behalf to protect information consistently with this policy and applicable law.

We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to valid legal process, protect users or the public, investigate fraud or security issues, or protect our legal rights. We do not sell personal information.

8. Data retention and deletion

Local app information remains on your device until you delete it through the app or remove the app. Keychain credentials may persist according to iOS behavior until removed by the app, device reset, or other Apple-provided controls.

Purchase records are retained by Apple and RevenueCat as necessary to provide purchases, restoration, accounting, fraud prevention, and legal compliance. Information held by connected third-party accounts is retained according to each provider's policies.

To request deletion of information, first disconnect connected accounts and use the app's data-removal controls. You may contact us using the address below for information controlled by us. For information controlled by Apple, RevenueCat, AniList, MyAnimeList, Jikan, Kitsu, or the website host, you may need to contact that provider directly.

9. Your choices and rights

You can choose not to connect a third-party account, disconnect an account, decline to make a purchase, remove locally stored information, or delete the app. Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability of personal information controlled by us, and to lodge a complaint with a data-protection authority.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing already performed lawfully.

10. Security and international processing

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards appropriate to the information involved, including iOS Keychain storage for supported authentication credentials. No storage or transmission method is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Third-party providers may process information in countries other than your own. Their processing is governed by their respective privacy terms and applicable safeguards.

11. Children's privacy

HAnime TV is not directed to children under 13, or the minimum age required to consent to data processing in their country. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the app, our service providers, or legal requirements change. We will publish the revised policy on this page and update the effective date. Material changes will be communicated through the app or another appropriate method when required.
