Privacy Policy

At Anime Finder, we believe in privacy by design. Here's what we DON'T do:

• We do not store or save any images you upload
• We do not require personal information or account registration
• We do not track your identification history
• We do not collect your email address unless you voluntarily subscribe to our newsletter
• We do not share your data with third parties

When you upload an image to Anime Finder:

1. 1. Your image is temporarily processed in memory on our servers
2. 2. Our AI analyzes the image to identify anime characters
3. 3. The results are sent back to your browser
4. 4. The image is immediately deleted from our servers
5. 5. No copy of your image is retained anywhere in our system

This process typically takes just a few seconds, and your image never touches permanent storage.

We use minimal analytics to improve our service:

• Basic usage statistics (like page views and identification requests)
• Technical data to monitor performance and errors
• No personally identifiable information is collected
• We use Vercel Analytics for anonymous usage insights

We do not use tracking cookies or invasive analytics. The minimal data we collect helps us understand how to improve the service and ensure it runs smoothly.

We use the following third-party services:

• Google Gemini AI: For image analysis and anime identification
• Vercel: For hosting and deployment
• Vercel Analytics: For anonymous usage statistics

These services may have their own privacy policies. We ensure that any data shared with these services is minimal and necessary for functionality.

We implement appropriate security measures to protect your data:

• All data transmission is encrypted using HTTPS
• Images are processed in secure, isolated environments
• No persistent storage of user-uploaded content
• Regular security updates and monitoring

Since we don't store personal data or images, there's nothing to delete or modify. However, you have the right to:

• Use our service without providing any personal information
• Contact us with questions about our privacy practices
• Request information about what data we process
• Unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time (if subscribed)

Our service is safe for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Since we don't require registration or collect personal data, children can use our service safely under parental guidance.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

If you have any questions about this privacy policy or our data practices, please contact us through our contact page or visit our FAQ section for common questions.
