This Privacy Policy applies to CAnime websites, web applications and related services. CAnime is responsible for personal information under its control and aims to follow Canadian privacy principles, including accountability, identifying purposes, consent, limited collection, limited use and retention, safeguards, openness, individual access and challenge rights.

CAnime is not intended to collect highly sensitive personal information. Please do not post government IDs, financial account numbers, health records, private addresses or other unnecessary sensitive information in listings, profiles, chats or feedback.

By using CAnime, submitting information or choosing privacy settings, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure described in this policy. You may withdraw consent where legally and technically possible, but some features may no longer work without required information.

You control whether certain profile details, gender, MBTI, external contact links, following lists and follower lists are public through account settings. Content you publish in public areas is intended to be visible to other users.

CAnime uses third-party infrastructure and tools to operate the service. Personal information may be stored or processed in Canada, the United States or other jurisdictions where our service providers operate.

When information is processed outside your province or country, it may be subject to the laws and lawful access requests of that jurisdiction. We use contractual, technical and organizational safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information.

We keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law, security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, audit logs or platform integrity.

User-replaced images and unused uploads may be marked for delayed deletion to prevent accidental loss and allow moderation review. Messages, reports, reviews and audit records may be retained longer where needed for safety, evidence, legal compliance or abuse prevention.

CAnime uses administrative, technical and organizational safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information, such as authentication, role-based admin access, private storage for sensitive feedback files, rate limits, security monitoring and restricted service-role usage.

No online service can guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for using strong credentials, keeping your account private and avoiding unnecessary disclosure of sensitive information.

You may access and update many account details directly in your account settings. You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information by contacting CAnime.

We may need to verify your identity before responding. We may decline or limit requests where permitted by law, including where records must be retained for security, fraud prevention, legal claims, audit, safety or another legitimate purpose.

CAnime is not directed to children. Users under the age of majority must use the service with parent or guardian permission and supervision. We may remove content or restrict accounts where we believe a minor is at risk or using the service inappropriately.

For privacy questions, access requests or complaints, contact CAnime through the Feedback Centre or by email at legal@canime.ca. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or the privacy regulator that applies in your province.
