1. Who we are

Animora ("Animora", "we", "us") is an anime streaming service available at animorapp.tech and through the Animora app. Animora is operated by Md Javed, India. For anything related to your data, contact us at bizzen24@gmail.com.

This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect, why we collect it, how we protect it and the choices you have. It is written to comply with India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 ("DPDP Act") and the Information Technology Act, 2000.

2. Data we collect

Data you give us

• Account details: your name and email address. If you sign up with email, your password is stored only as a one-way encrypted hash (bcrypt); we can never see your actual password.
• Google sign-in: if you choose "Continue with Google", Google shares your name, email address and profile photo with us. We do not get your Google password or access to your Gmail, Drive or contacts.
• Messages: anything you send us by email (for example support requests).

Data created when you use Animora

• Viewing activity: your watch progress (Continue Watching), My List, liked Shorts and reminders, so we can show them on all your devices.
• Technical data: IP address, browser/device type and the time of requests, recorded in our server logs for security and to keep the service running.
• Data on your device: the app stores your login session and preferences in your browser's local storage.

Data we do not collect

We do not collect your phone contacts, location, camera, microphone, government ID or card/bank details. We do not use advertising trackers and we do not sell your personal data.

3. Why we use your data

• To create and manage your account and let you sign in.
• To stream videos and remember your progress, My List and likes across devices.
• To decide which content you can access (for example free or Premium, when Premium is introduced).
• To keep Animora secure: preventing abuse, fraud, account takeover and unauthorised downloading.
• To answer your questions and send important service messages (such as password reset emails).
• To understand overall usage (for example how many people watch a title) so we can improve the service.

We process your data on the basis of the consent you give when you create an account, and for legitimate uses permitted under the DPDP Act, such as providing the service you asked for and complying with law.

4. Sharing your data

We share data only with service providers that help us run Animora, and only what they need:

• Hostinger – hosts our servers and database.
• Google – provides "Continue with Google" sign-in.
• Content delivery services (Google Fonts, jsDelivr) – deliver fonts and the video player code; they may see your IP address when your device loads these files.
• Email service – sends password reset and service emails (only your email address and the message).
• Payment provider – when paid plans are introduced, payments will be handled by a licensed payment gateway. We will never store your full card or bank details.

We may also disclose data if required by law, a court order or a government authority, or to protect the rights and safety of our users and Animora.

5. How long we keep data

• Account and viewing data: for as long as your account is active.
• When you delete your account, we delete your account data from our live systems. Copies in our encrypted backups are removed automatically within 14 days.
• Server security logs: kept for a limited period (normally up to 90 days) unless needed to investigate abuse.

6. Security

We protect your data with HTTPS encryption, hashed passwords, a firewall, protection against repeated login attempts, signed and expiring video links, and restricted access to our servers and admin panel. No system is 100% secure, but we work to protect your data and will notify you and the authorities as required by law if a breach affects you.

Animora will never ask for your password or an OTP by email, SMS or phone call. If someone does, it is not us.

7. Your rights

Under the DPDP Act you have the right to:

• Access a summary of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correct or update your data (you can change your name on the Account page).
• Erase your data – you can delete your account from the Account page in the app, or by emailing us.
• Withdraw consent at any time by deleting your account (this does not affect processing already done).
• Nominate another person to exercise these rights on your behalf in case of death or incapacity.
• Raise a grievance with us, and if unresolved, with the Data Protection Board of India.

To use any of these rights, email bizzen24@gmail.com from your registered email address. We will respond as soon as possible and generally within 30 days.

8. Children

Animora is meant for users aged 13 and above. If you are under 18, you may use Animora only with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian, as required by the DPDP Act. We do not knowingly track children's behaviour or show them targeted advertising. If you believe a child has given us data without parental consent, contact us and we will delete it.

9. Cookies and local storage

Animora does not use advertising or third-party tracking cookies. We use your browser's local storage only for essential features: keeping you signed in, remembering your settings, watch progress and My List.
