Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

• Account details — email address, username, and password when you register.
• Profile information — avatar, bio, and favorite genres you choose to share.
• User-generated content — posts, comments, ratings, reviews, and watchlist data you create within Realms and across the app.
• Communications — messages you send to us via support or feedback channels.

Information Collected Automatically

• Device information — device type, operating system, and app version.
• Usage data — pages viewed, features used, search queries, and interaction patterns (anonymized where possible).
• Log data — IP address, timestamps, and crash reports to help us diagnose issues.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Operate and maintain the RekoGen service.
• Generate personalized anime recommendations tailored to your taste.
• Enable community features like Realms, posts, comments, and interactions.
• Send important updates about your account, new features, or policy changes.
• Analyze usage patterns to improve the app experience (in aggregate, not individually).
• Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and violations of our Terms of Service.

3. Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share limited data only in the following circumstances:

• Service providers — trusted third parties that help us operate the app (hosting, analytics, email delivery). They are bound by confidentiality agreements and cannot use your data for their own purposes.
• Legal requirements — when required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request.
• Safety — to protect the rights, safety, or property of RekoGen, our users, or the public.

4. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our services. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or regulatory purposes.

Anonymized, aggregated data that cannot identify you may be retained indefinitely to help us improve the service.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit and at rest, secure authentication, and regular security reviews. However, no system is 100% secure. While we do our best to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Your Rights & Choices

You have control over your data. Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
• Delete your account and associated data.
• Export your data in a portable format.
• Opt out of non-essential communications.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@rekogen.app.

7. Children's Privacy

RekoGen is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If we discover that a child under 13 has created an account, we will terminate the account and delete their data promptly. If you believe a child under 13 is using RekoGen, please contact us immediately.

8. Third-Party Links

RekoGen may contain links to third-party websites or services (such as streaming platforms). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those external sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make significant changes, we will notify you through the app or by updating the effective date above. Your continued use of RekoGen after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
