We don’t share the information you send us directly (like your name and email) with third parties, except:
- when required by law, court order, or a competent authority;
- with service providers strictly necessary for the site to function, such as hosting, email delivery, and analytics tools, which may only use the data to provide the contracted service;

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your browser. ANIMELEKO uses them to improve your browsing experience, understand how the site is used, and display ads.
5.1. Types of cookies we may use

6. Advertising: Google AdSense and Ad Partners
This site displays ads through Google AdSense. This means:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies and identifiers to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other sites across the web.
- The use of advertising cookies, like the DoubleClick cookie, lets Google and its partners show you ads based on those visits.
- Data collected by these vendors is handled by them, according to their own privacy policies.
How to turn off personalized advertising:
- You can opt out of personalized advertising through Google’s Ad Settings.
- You can also opt out of personalized advertising cookies from other third-party vendors at www.aboutads.info.
- Learn more about how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
Even if you turn off personalized advertising, you may still see ads — they’ll just be less relevant to your interests.
7. Links to Third-Party Sites
Our site may contain links to external sites that we don’t operate. We have no control over the content or practices of those sites and can’t accept responsibility for their privacy policies. We recommend reading the policy of any site you visit.
8. Data Retention and Security
We retain the information we collect only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose it was collected for, or to comply with legal obligations. After that, the data is deleted or anonymized.
We protect stored data using commercially reasonable measures to prevent loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification. No system is completely immune to failure, but we work to maintain appropriate security measures.
9. International Data Transfers
Some of the services we use, like Google, may process data on servers located outside your country. In those cases, the transfer takes place in line with the relevant data protection safeguards and the policies of the respective providers.
10. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights over your personal data, which can generally include the right to:
- confirm whether we process personal data about you;
- access your data;
- correct incomplete, inaccurate, or outdated data;
- request anonymization, restriction, or deletion of unnecessary data or data processed unlawfully;
- request data portability, where applicable;
- request deletion of data processed based on your consent;
- know who we share your data with;
- know the consequences of not providing consent;
- withdraw your consent at any time.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us through our contact page. You’re free to decline our request for personal information, though this may mean we’re unable to provide certain services you’re looking for.
If you believe the way we handle your data violates the law, you may also have the right to file a complaint with your local data protection authority.
11. Children and Teens
ANIMELEKO isn’t directed at children and doesn’t knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18 without a parent or guardian’s consent. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal data, please contact us so we can remove it.
