Privacy Policy
Last Updated: October 26, 2023
Aniscope ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use the Aniscope website and services (the "Service").
By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordanceance with this policy.
1. Information We Collect
Aniscope is designed primarily for browsing publicly available anime information. We collect very limited information:
- Non-Personally Identifiable Information (NPII): Like most websites, our web server may automatically log standard technical information when you visit the Service. This may include your IP address (which may be anonymized or truncated by our hosting provider), browser type, operating system, referring URLs, pages visited, and timestamps. This information is used in an aggregated form for technical administration, performance monitoring, and improving the Service.
- Analytics Data: We may use analytics services (such as Vercel Analytics, which is privacy-focused) to understand how users interact with our Service. This data is typically aggregated and anonymized and helps us improve user experience. It does not include personally identifiable information.
- Theme Preferences: If you change the website theme (e.g., light/dark mode), your preference might be stored locally in your browser (using `localStorage`) so the site remembers it on your next visit. This data stays on your device.
We do NOT collect Personally Identifiable Information (PII) such as your name, email address (unless you voluntarily contact us), physical address, phone number, or any other sensitive personal data through the general use of the Service. There are no user accounts or sign-up requirements.
2. How We Use Information
The limited information we collect is used solely for the following purposes:
- To operate, maintain, and improve the Service.
- To monitor website traffic and usage patterns (through aggregated analytics).
- To ensure the security and stability of the Service.
- To respond to inquiries if you contact us via email.
3. Third-Party Services & Data Sources
- Jikan API / MyAnimeList Data: The core anime information displayed on Aniscope is retrieved in real-time from the Jikan API, which sources its data from MyAnimeList.net. We do not store this data permanently on our servers. Your interaction with this data is governed by the terms and privacy policies of Jikan and MyAnimeList.
- Vercel Hosting: Aniscope is hosted on Vercel. Vercel may collect standard server logs and provide analytics as part of their hosting service. Please refer to Vercel's Privacy Policy for details on their data handling practices.
4. Cookies
We use minimal cookies necessary for the basic functioning of the site and potentially for analytics. For detailed information about the cookies we use and your choices regarding cookies, please see our Cookie Policy.
5. Data Security
We take reasonable technical measures to protect the information handled by the Service, such as using HTTPS encryption. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
6. Children's Privacy
The Service is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Information, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Information from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date.
You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
