Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 19, 2026 · Effective: June 19, 2026

We built Aniv3rse to be a personal anime tracker — not an ad platform. We collect the minimum data needed to make the app work and sync across your devices. We do not sell your data.

1. Who We Are

Aniv3rse is developed and operated by V3rse Labs ("we", "us", "our"). If you have any questions about this policy, contact us at: aniv3rse.support@gmail.com

2. Age Requirement

Aniv3rse is intended for users who are 13 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child under 13 has created an account, please contact us immediately at aniv3rse.support@gmail.com and we will delete the account and all associated data promptly.

If you are located in the European Union, you must be at least 16 years old (or the minimum age required by your country's law) to use Aniv3rse without parental consent.

6. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored on Supabase servers located in Frankfurt, Germany (EU). We use the following security measures:

No method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure. We take reasonable measures to protect your data but cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have the following rights under GDPR:

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at aniv3rse.support@gmail.com. We will respond within 30 days. You can also delete your account directly from the app in Settings → Delete Account. Deleting your account permanently removes all your data from our servers within 30 days.

The legal basis for processing your data is performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) — we need your data to provide the service you signed up for. For community features (feed, leaderboard), the legal basis is consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time by disabling or not using community features.

8. Data Retention

We retain your data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will permanently delete all associated data within 30 days, except where we are required by law to retain certain information.

9. Cookies and Local Storage

Aniv3rse uses your browser's localStorage to store your anime list locally for offline access. This is not a "cookie" and cannot be used to track you across websites. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party tracking pixels.

Supabase Auth uses a secure session token stored in localStorage to keep you logged in.

10. International Data Transfers

If you access Aniv3rse from outside the European Union, your data may be transferred to and processed in the EU (Frankfurt). Supabase incorporates Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission for international transfers.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we will notify you via email or an in-app notice. Continued use of the app after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
