This Privacy Policy describes how Anipe ("we", "the app") collects, uses and protects information when you use our iOS app. Your privacy is fundamental to us, and we designed Anipe around the principle of minimal data collection.
1. Information we collect
Anipe does not collect directly identifiable personal information (such as your real name, phone number or physical address) unless you voluntarily provide it for technical support.
- Usage data and local preferences: Your swipes, saved and dismissed anime lists, and history are primarily processed and stored on your own device.
- Synchronization and device identifier: If you enable cloud synchronization or recommendations, an anonymous, random identifier is generated for your installation to preserve your library and refine catalog recommendations, without linking it to your real identity.
- Purchase and subscription data: Anipe Premium purchase transactions are securely managed by Apple through the App Store and processed through RevenueCat to validate your subscription. We do not have access to your payment details or credit card information.
- App usage analytics: We record usage events (such as opening the app, swipes, saved titles and subscription screen views) together with the same anonymous identifier used for your subscription, plus basic technical data (app version, device model, operating system and approximate country). We use this only to understand how the app is used and to improve it.
2. Third-party providers and services
The app interacts with external services for its essential functionality:
- AniList API: To retrieve public information from the anime and manga catalog (cover images, synopses, genres and ratings).
- RevenueCat: To verify the status of in-app purchases.
- Apple StoreKit: To process payments and manage subscriptions.
- PostHog: To analyze app usage. Data is hosted on PostHog servers in the European Union.
3. How we use information
Technical and anonymous information is used exclusively to:
- Allow you to discover content and manage your personal library.
- Validate your active subscription and unlock Premium features.
- Detect and fix technical or performance issues in the app.
- Measure aggregate usage and retention to improve features.
4. Advertising and data tracking
Anipe does not sell your data to third parties or share information with advertising networks for tracking or ad targeting purposes. Usage analytics are used solely by us to improve Anipe and are never used for advertising.
5. Controlling and deleting your data
You can reset your swipe history, preferences and stored data at any time directly from Settings > Local data within the app. If you uninstall the app, local data is removed from your device. To request access to or deletion of your usage analytics data, contact us at the email below.
6. Changes to this policy
We may occasionally update this policy to reflect app improvements or regulatory requirements. The current version will always be available at this same link.
