What is “personal data?”

Personal data is information that can be used to ascertain your identity or compile a profile from your publicly available data. Data that we collect on aniSearch or that you can provide voluntarily and optionally would be:

• Online data, such as your IP address, your browser agent, and possibly further information about your device
• General personal data, such as your name, age, marital status, date of birth, address, and email address
• Physical characteristics, such as your gender
Your personal data is collected, stored, and processed on aniSearch in compliance with European law.

Which of your personal data do you disclose to us?

➜ personal data, which we collect automatically

With each visit of one of our webpages we automatically process personal data sent to us by you. This access data is automatically collected by our server software and is stored in a log file for a period of 7 days and then automatically deleted. This log data is required to determine, for example, the source of an excessive server load, so that we can block it and thus prevent you and all other site visitors from experiencing excessive loading times. This automatically collected data includes the accessed website, the time of access, the IP address and the browser agent.

➜ personal data that you yourself provide

By registering on aniSearch, you agree to our collection, processing, and use of your personal data with regard to the data processing procedures described in this privacy policy. For this purpose we always store the time and IP address of the previous and current login. The storing of this information is based on our legitimate interests as well as for protection against misuse and other unauthorized use. General mandatory profile details are a valid e-mail address and any user name, which may be a pseudonym. In your user profile you have the option to enter further optional information about yourself and also to modify it.
Here on aniSearch we offer you various privacy settings, so that you can make your data accessible to certain user groups only. For instance, only friends or only other members registered on aniSearch. Additional voluntary and optional information includes, but is not limited to, date of birth, gender, relationship status, country, city, zip code, information about your social media presence or blogs. As a registered member, please note that everything you publicly post can be read by everyone and is therefore your own responsibility.

➜ personal data that other websites receive from you

In profile descriptions or self-created layout as well as our discussion and commentary postings, our registered members also have the option to embed external graphics and videos, as one would know, for instance, from YouTube’s embedded videos. The integration of external media is in general difficult to discern for a site visitor and has the special feature that by loading these external materials your IP address, your browser agent, and the timestamp as well as the accessed website itself are also stored by the respective host of these materials. Generally, this data is only used for analysis and is not directly processed. However, in order to prevent any misuse in this respect from the outset, external media will not be loaded by us at all and will be clearly marked with a placeholder image. With a click on this placeholder image, you can decide later if you would like to see the content that’s hidden behind it. Only then will your data be transmitted to the external hoster through your own browser. Here we also offer you the option to deactivate or reactivate this protective measure. You can decide between images and videos (iframes):
Including external videos on our site is only possible from the following sources, with exactly these URLs:
• https://www. youtube-nocookie.com/embed or https://www.youtube.com/embed – Privacy Policy
• https://www.dailymotion.com/ or via https://dai.ly/ – Privacy Policy
• https://player.vimeo. com/video/ – Privacy Policy
• https://www.viki.com/player/ – Privacy Policy
• https://www.facebook.com/ – Privacy Policy

How does aniSearch use your personal data?

As a site visitor, we use your personal data for security-related features or to personalize features and content for you. We do not pass on your stored personal data to third parties, except in the following cases:
1) If you have explicitly given your consent for certain personal data. This is necessary, for instance, if you have won a give-away and we need to provide your delivery address to our partner.
2) If we are required by law or court order to release this data.
3) To protect our own legitimate rights and interests or those of our users; such action may be necessary if you cause a massive disruption or misuse of our services or if we need to make use of our domiciliary rights.
In the event of technical problems with the server, a service technician from our Germany-based server provider company may have to carry out maintenance work; this technician also has access to our server logs. However, he is not entitled to use this information for anything more than the analysis of the technical problem within the server.
5) In the context of a project transfer or a merger with a natural or legal person.
