AniveraPrivacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how the Anivera Team (“we”, “us”) collects, uses, shares and protects information when you use the Anivera mobile application for Android (package com.hianime.watchanimetv) and related services (together, the “Service”). By using the Service you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
1. Information we collect
Information you provide
- Account information — when you sign in with Google we receive your name, email address and profile picture (see section 2). You may optionally add a username, bio, birthday or gender to your profile.
- Content you post — comments, replies, reactions and reports you submit in the app. Comments are visible to other users.
- Support messages — information you include when you contact us.
Information created when you use the Service
- Activity — watch history (series and episodes you open), bookmarks, and notification preferences, so you can continue watching and keep your library in sync.
- Sign-in records — the IP address used when you sign in and an approximate location derived from it (country, region, city, time zone, network provider), plus the time of sign-in. We use this for security and abuse prevention.
- Device information — a Firebase Cloud Messaging token used to send you notifications, your platform, app version and basic device details.
- Diagnostics & analytics — crash reports and app-usage events collected through Firebase Crashlytics and Google Analytics for Firebase, which may include device model, OS version and an app instance identifier.
- Advertising identifiers — the Android Advertising ID and related data processed by our ad partners (see section 5).
- Purchase information — if you buy a premium plan, the plan, order ID, purchase token and status needed to activate and verify it (see section 6).
The app does not request access to your contacts, photos, camera, microphone, precise location or files. Android permissions used are limited to internet access, notifications and vibration.
2. Google user data
Anivera offers Sign in with Google. With your permission, Google shares the following with us through the standard openid, email and profile scopes:
| Data | Why we use it |
|---|---|
| Name | Shown on your Anivera profile and next to your comments. |
| Email address | Your unique account identifier; used to sign you in, recover your account and contact you about your account or purchases. |
| Profile picture | Shown as your avatar in the app. |
| Google account ID | Links your Google sign-in to your Anivera account. |
You can revoke Anivera’s access at any time from your Google Account at myaccount.google.com/permissions. Revoking access does not delete data already stored in your Anivera account; to delete it, see section 8.
3. How we use information
- To create and manage your account and sign you in.
- To provide core features: playback, continue watching, bookmarks, release schedule, comments and notifications about new episodes or replies to your comments.
- To process and verify premium purchases and apply the benefits of your plan.
- To keep the Service secure: detect fraud, spam, abuse and violations of our Terms, and to enforce account restrictions.
- To diagnose crashes, measure performance and improve the app.
- To show advertising in the free version of the app (see section 5).
- To comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests.
4. Sharing & third parties
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us run the Service, under their own privacy terms, and only as needed for the purposes above:
| Provider | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Google (Sign-In, Firebase Cloud Messaging, Crashlytics, Analytics, Remote Config, Google Play Billing, Cast) | Authentication, notifications, crash reporting, analytics, app configuration, in-app purchases and casting |
| Google AdMob and AppLovin | Displaying advertising |
| PayPal | Processing premium payments made with PayPal |
| Cloudflare | Content delivery, network security and API hosting |
| Our hosting provider | Servers that store account and activity data |
| IP geolocation services (e.g. ip-api.com, ipinfo.io) | Deriving approximate location from your sign-in IP address for security |
We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect the rights, property or safety of our users or others, or as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets (in which case this policy will continue to apply to your information).
5. Advertising & consent
The free version of Anivera shows ads served by Google AdMob and AppLovin. These partners may use your device’s Advertising ID, IP address and interactions with ads to deliver, limit and measure ads, and — where permitted — to personalise them. Where required by law (for example in the EEA, UK and some US states) we ask for your consent through a consent form before personalised ads are shown. To change your choice, clear the app’s storage in your Android settings (the consent form will be shown again) or contact us. You can also reset or delete your Advertising ID, or opt out of ad personalisation, in your Android device settings.
6. Payments
Purchases made through Google Play are processed by Google; purchases made with PayPal are processed by PayPal. We do not receive or store your full card or bank details. We receive only the information needed to confirm and manage your purchase, such as the plan, order ID, purchase token, amount and status.
7. Retention
We keep account information, watch history, bookmarks and comments for as long as your account is active. Sign-in records and device tokens are kept only as long as needed for security and notifications. Purchase records may be kept longer where required for accounting, tax or legal purposes. When you delete your account we delete or anonymise your personal information within 30 days, except where we must keep it to comply with the law, resolve disputes or prevent abuse. Crash and analytics data are retained according to Google’s retention settings.
8. Your rights & account deletion
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export or delete your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. You can update your profile in the app at any time.
To delete your account and associated data, follow the steps on our account deletion page or email hanime7788@gmail.com from the email address linked to your account. We may ask you to verify ownership before acting on a request. We respond to requests within 30 days.
9. Security
We protect your information with measures such as encrypted connections (TLS), access controls and token-based authentication. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Children
The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
11. International transfers
Our servers and service providers may be located outside your country, including in the United States. By using the Service you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in those countries, which may have different data-protection rules.
12. Changes & contact
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes we will update the date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the app. Continued use of the Service after an update means you accept the revised policy.
