Privacy Policy

1. Who We Are

AnimeRadar Pro UG (haftungsbeschränkt) operates the editorial website animeradarpro.com ("the Site"). Our registered address is Ludwig-Thoma-Straße 33, 93051 Regensburg, Germany. For data protection matters, you can reach us at [email protected].

We are an editorial information platform. We do not sell products, run advertising networks, or profile visitors for commercial purposes. This policy explains what data we handle, why, and what rights you hold under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and applicable German data protection law (BDSG).

2. Data We Collect

2.1 Data You Provide Directly

Contact form submissions. When you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message. This data is used solely to respond to your enquiry. We retain it for up to 24 months, after which it is deleted unless a longer retention is required by law.

Newsletter sign-ups. If you subscribe to our seasonal newsletter, we collect your email address and the date of sign-up. You may unsubscribe at any time via the link in every email. We retain subscriber data until you unsubscribe.

2.2 Data Collected Automatically

Server logs. Our hosting provider automatically records standard HTTP request data: IP address (anonymised after 7 days), browser type, referring URL, pages visited, and timestamp. These logs are used for security monitoring and are not linked to your identity.

Cookies. We use cookies as described in our Cookie Policy. You can manage your cookie preferences via the banner that appears on your first visit.

3. Legal Bases for Processing

We process personal data only where we have a lawful basis under Article 6 GDPR:

• Contract performance (Art. 6(1)(b)): responding to your contact form enquiries.
• Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)): server logging for security and abuse prevention, where our interests are not overridden by your rights.
• Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): newsletter subscription; non-essential cookies. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

4. How We Use Your Data

We use your data only for the purposes stated at the time of collection. We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties for their own marketing purposes. We do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling.

Where we engage third-party processors (e.g. our hosting provider, email delivery service), we do so under data processing agreements that require them to handle your data in accordance with GDPR.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described, or as required by applicable law (e.g. German commercial and tax law may require certain records to be kept for up to 10 years). When data is no longer required, it is securely deleted or anonymised.

6. International Transfers

Our primary operations and hosting are within the European Economic Area. Where any service provider operates outside the EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place — for example, Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.

7. Your Rights Under GDPR

You have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right of access (Art. 15): request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Right to rectification (Art. 16): request correction of inaccurate data.
• Right to erasure (Art. 17): request deletion of your data where we have no legitimate grounds to retain it.
• Right to restriction (Art. 18): request that we limit processing of your data in certain circumstances.
• Right to data portability (Art. 20): receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Right to object (Art. 21): object to processing based on legitimate interests.
• Right to withdraw consent: withdraw consent at any time for consent-based processing (newsletter, non-essential cookies).

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond within one month. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. In Bavaria, this is the Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht (BayLDA), Promenade 18, 91522 Ansbach, Germany.

8. Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against accidental loss, unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure. These include encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS), access controls, and regular security reviews.

9. Links to Other Sites

The Site may contain links to third-party websites. This Privacy Policy applies only to animeradarpro.com. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of linked sites and encourage you to review their policies.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Material changes will be communicated via a notice on the Site. Continued use of the Site after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
