Privacy Policy
How SeasonalAnime handles your data — what we collect, why, and how you stay in control. No tracking without your consent.
We keep things simple: we collect only what's needed to run the service, we never sell your data, and you're always in control of your privacy settings.
What We Collect
Account Information
When you sign up, we collect your email address to send you a secure, passwordless magic link for sign-in. We don't store passwords because there are none to store.
Your Anime Data
If you use tracking features, we store your watchlist, scores, episode progress, favorites, and any notes you add. This data is tied to your account so it's available across devices.
Analytics (Only With Your Permission)
If you opt in via the cookie consent banner, we may collect anonymized usage data like pages visited and features used. This helps us understand what's working and what to improve. You can opt out at any time.
Browser Storage
We save your theme preference (dark or light mode) and cookie consent choice in your browser's local storage. This data stays on your device and is never sent to our servers.
How We Use It
- To sign you in and keep your session active
- To sync your anime watchlist, favorites, and progress across devices
- To personalize your experience — theme, timezone, and display preferences
- To improve the platform based on aggregated, anonymized analytics (only with consent)
What We Don't Do
- We never sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties
- We don't run ads or share data with advertisers
- We don't track you across other websites
Data Retention
Your account data stays as long as your account is active. If you want to delete your account and all associated data, reach out through the feedback widget and we'll take care of it.
Your Rights
Under GDPR and similar privacy regulations, you can:
- Access all the personal data we have about you
- Ask us to correct or delete your data
- Withdraw analytics consent any time through the cookie banner
- Request a copy of your data in a portable format
