Privacy Policy
How Animatrix collects, uses, and protects your info — written in our fan-first voice.
Welcome to Animatrix
Welcome to Animatrix — your anime home. We built this site for fans, by fans, and we take your privacy seriously. This page explains what info we collect, why we collect it, and how we keep it safe — in plain language, no legal fluff.
1. What Info We Collect
We collect a few types of information to make Animatrix work and to give you the best experience:
- Account info: email, username, and profile data when you sign up.
- Content you create: comments, reviews, polls, and anything you post.
- Usage data: what pages you visit, how you use the site, and general analytics to improve the experience.
- Device & technical data: browser type, IP address, and device info to help keep the site secure and running smoothly.
2. How We Use Your Info
Short version: to run Animatrix, keep things safe, and make your experience better.
- To power your account: sign-in, save favorites, and keep your profile working.
- To show content: let you stream, read, comment, and join community chats.
- To improve the site: aggregate analytics help us fix bugs and build new features.
- To communicate: we may email you about updates, events, or account notices (you can opt out of marketing emails).
- To keep things safe: prevent abuse and protect the community.
3. Cookies & Similar Tech
We use cookies and similar tools to remember your settings, keep you logged in, and collect anonymous analytics. You can control most cookies from your browser — but if you block everything, some features may not work as expected.
4. Who We Share Info With
We won’t sell your personal data. We only share what’s needed for the service to work:
- Service providers: hosting, analytics, and messaging providers who help run the site.
- Legal reasons: if required by law or to protect Animatrix and our users.
- Aggregated or anonymized data: for research or improvement — it won’t identify you.
5. Community Features & Public Content
Anything you post publicly — like reviews, comments, or posts in community chats — can be seen by others. Treat public posts as public: spoilers, hot takes, memes, and all.
6. Security
We use industry-standard measures to protect your information. That said, no online platform is 100% risk-free. If there’s ever a security incident affecting your data, we’ll work to fix it and notify you if required.
7. Your Choices
You’re in control:
- Update your profile or delete your account from your account settings.
- Opt out of marketing emails at any time via the links in our emails.
- Manage cookies through your browser settings.
8. Children
Animatrix is not aimed at children under 13. If we learn we’ve collected personal data from someone under 13 without consent, we’ll delete it as required by law.
9. Changes to This Policy
We’ll update this page whenever we need to. If there are big changes, we’ll let you know by email or a prominent notice on the site. Check the “Last updated” date to see when this policy was last changed.
