Anime01. Who this policy covers
This policy explains the privacy practices of AnimeCompanion at animecompanion.net. It applies to this editorial website, not to the independent companion platforms or partner offers we link to. Those services are responsible for their own data practices.
02. The purpose of AnimeCompanion
AnimeCompanion publishes comparisons and practical guidance about AI companion services. You can read our pages without creating an AnimeCompanion account. We do not operate the reviewed chat services.
03. Adults only
Our content is intended for adults aged at least 18, or the higher age required in their location. We do not knowingly invite children to provide personal information. If you are under the applicable age, do not use this website or its promotional links.
04. Information you provide directly
The current website does not include account registration, chat, payment or newsletter forms. Do not send sensitive personal information through an external service on the assumption that it is being sent to AnimeCompanion.
05. Routine access information
When a page is requested, the hosting provider may receive an IP address, browser information, requested page, time of access and similar connection information. The exact logs and retention depend on the hosting configuration.
06. How access information may be used
Routine access information may be used to deliver pages, protect the website, investigate errors and prevent abuse. It should not be used to infer intimate preferences or to make decisions with significant effects on visitors.
07. No companion conversation collection
AnimeCompanion does not provide an AI chat service and does not collect conversations you have with reviewed providers. Any messages you enter on another service are governed by that service’s privacy policy.
08. No payment card collection
AnimeCompanion does not sell companion subscriptions or ask for card details. Payments for external services are handled by those services or their payment providers. Check the seller and billing terms before paying.
09. Cookies on this website
The supplied version of this website does not set advertising or analytics cookies. Hosting, security services or later changes may introduce cookies. If that happens, this policy should be updated and any legally required consent collected before non-essential use.
10. Browser storage
The supplied website does not store an account, preference profile or tracking identifier in your browser. A filter or opened question operates within the current page and does not create a personal profile.
11. Fonts and illustrations
Fonts and artwork are served with the website rather than fetched from a third-party image or font service when you read a page. Ordinary page delivery can still generate hosting access records.
12. Analytics
No third-party analytics tool is included in the supplied website. If the operator adds analytics, it must accurately disclose the provider, collected data, purpose, retention and any available opt-out choices.
13. Promotional and affiliate links
Promotional buttons take you to an external partner offer. The destination may differ from the provider discussed beside the button. The partner may collect your visit information or use its own cookies according to its privacy policy.
14. Information disclosed by navigation
Following an external link can disclose routine connection information to the destination, such as your IP address and browser details. Referrer information may also be sent depending on your browser and the website’s delivery settings.
15. Independent provider policies
Review the exact provider’s current privacy policy before signing up. Similar brand names or domains do not establish that two websites share the same operator or protections. This policy does not endorse another service’s data practices.
16. Purpose and legal basis
Where privacy law requires a legal basis, information should be processed only on an applicable basis, such as a legitimate interest in delivering and securing the website, compliance with law, or valid consent for an optional feature. The applicable basis depends on the actual processing.
17. Service providers
The website operator may use hosting and security providers that process routine access information to supply their services. They should receive only the information needed for those purposes and be bound by appropriate contractual protections where required.
18. Sale and targeted advertising
The supplied website does not include tools that sell visitor profiles or share them for cross-context behavioral advertising. External partner sites may have different practices. Additional rights can apply under local law if future processing changes.
19. Retention
Information should be retained only as long as needed for the purpose for which it was collected, including security and legal obligations. Hosting log retention depends on the chosen host. We do not claim a fixed period that has not been confirmed.
20. Security
Appropriate safeguards should be used for the website and any information it processes. No website or transmission can be guaranteed completely secure. Avoid sharing sensitive details with an AI companion or any unfamiliar service.
21. International processing
A hosting or partner service may process information outside your country. Applicable privacy laws may require safeguards for international transfers. Check the actual provider’s location and transfer terms when those details matter to you.
22. Access and correction rights
Depending on your location and the information actually held, you may have rights to access personal information and request correction. These rights do not mean AnimeCompanion can access or correct data held by a separate companion provider.
23. Deletion and restriction rights
Applicable law may give you rights to request deletion or restriction of processing. Legal and security obligations can limit those rights. For companion accounts and chat histories, send the request to the relevant provider.
24. Objection, portability and consent
Where applicable, you may object to certain processing, request portability or withdraw consent. Withdrawing consent does not invalidate earlier lawful processing. The availability of each right depends on the legal basis and the data involved.
25. Regional privacy rights
Visitors in the EEA, UK, California and other jurisdictions may have additional rights, including complaints to a supervisory authority or appeals where required. We do not intentionally discriminate against a visitor for exercising an applicable privacy right.
26. Browser privacy choices
You can control cookies and tracking through your browser and device. The supplied website has no advertising tracker to disable. If additional tracking is introduced, applicable opt-out signals and consent requirements should be respected.
27. Requests and responsible operator
A privacy request must reach the responsible website operator, who may need proportionate verification before releasing personal information. Use a verified contact channel displayed by the live website operator. Do not send identity documents to unverified addresses or to a reviewed brand on our behalf.
28. Changes and effective date
This policy is effective October 13, 2026. Material changes to the website’s data practices should be reflected here before they take effect where required. The live operator must keep its contact information and actual processing details accurate.
