Please exercise caution when deciding to disclose any personal information in public activities or submissions.
</li>
<li>From time to time, we may deploy technology such as application programming interfaces (or “APIs”) for use by third party application developers and make information concerning your public activities on the Sites, such as your comments on community message boards, available to third party websites and applications.
If you use such third party websites and applications, they may also collect, process and share your information, including personal information.
You should review the privacy policies of any third party websites or applications before using them.

</li>
</ul>
<p>Please note that the third parties may independently collect data about you, through cookies, clicks on links, or other means when you visit or view ads on the Sites.</p>
<p>We work closely with our affiliated companies, such as our parent companies and their affiliated entities and subsidiaries under common ownership or control.
We share your information with our affiliates that either are subject to this Privacy Policy or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Policy.
In some cases, these affiliates may operate portions of the Sites or aspects of related services, or market or sell offerings to you.

Your choices, cookies and other tracking technologies and “do not track” signals Deactivating your account <p>If the Sites functionality permits, you can deactivate your account at any time by visiting the preferences page for your profile or delete any content you provide from the Sites, though we may retain a copy of any deactivated accounts or deleted content for compliance purposes.

We have no responsibility, other than as may be required by applicable law, to take down, remove, or edit any of your public activities or any submissions that are a result of your public activities.
For more information, please review our Terms of Use.</p> Cookies and other tracking technologies <p>Some information that is collected about you is collected automatically through cookies and other tracking technologies.
Cookies are small amounts of information stored in files within your computer's browser.
We may use these technologies to collect information about your activity, browser and device, and to collect information when you interact with services we offer through one of our third party partners, such as advertising.
Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default, but, if you prefer, you can usually remove or reject cookies through the settings on your browser or device.
However, please note that removing or rejecting cookies could affect the availability and functionality of our Services.
Please see our Cookie Policy for more information about how we use cookies and your choices.
</p> “Do not track” signals <p>The “do not track” (or “DNT”) concept has been promoted by regulatory authorities for the internet industry to develop and implement a mechanism for allowing internet users to control the tracking of their online activities across websites.
Various web browsers offer a DNT option that sends a signal to websites visited by the user’s browser about the user's DNT preference.
You can usually access your browser's DNT option in your browser's “preferences” or similar settings.
As of the time of the posting of this Privacy Policy, there is no internet industry DNT technology standard.
We take privacy and security seriously.
With regard to DNT, the Sites do not currently respond to DNT signals in browsers because, as mentioned above, no DNT standard has been adopted.
However, as explained above, you do have choices regarding how your browser handles cookies and other similar technologies.
</p> Third Party Online Advertising <p>Some of the advertisements you see on the Sites are from third parties, such as advertising agencies, advertisers, ad networks, and audience segment providers.
These third parties may collect information about you and your online activities, either on the Sites or on other websites, through cookies, web beacons, and other technologies to understand your interests and tailor certain advertisements to your interests.</p>
<p>The Company does not have control over, or access to the information these non-affiliated third parties may collect.
Such third parties' information practices are not covered by this Privacy Policy.</p>
<p>If you choose to opt out of having your information used to deliver advertisements tailored to your interests, you will continue to see advertisements on the Sites, but these advertisements may not be as relevant to you.</p>
<p>For more information about how we use cookies and your choices, please see our Cookie Policy.

<p>To exercise the access, data portability, and deletion rights described above, please submit a verifiable consumer request to us by email at: legal@mail.myanimelist.net or by regular mail at: MyAnimeList, Attn: Privacy Officer, 1-1-1 Hitotsubashi Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 100-0003 Japan.</p>
<p>Only you, or someone legally authorized to act on your behalf, may make a verifiable consumer request related to your personal information.
You may also make a verifiable consumer request on behalf of your minor child.
You may only make a verifiable consumer request for access or data portability twice within a 12-month period.
The verifiable consumer request must (a) provide sufficient information that allows us to reasonably verify you are the person about whom we collected personal information or an authorized representative and (b) describe your request with sufficient detail that allows us to properly understand, evaluate, and respond to it.
We cannot respond to your request or provide you with personal information if we cannot verify your identity or authority to make the request and confirm the personal information relates to you.
Making a verifiable consumer request does not require you to create an account with us.
We will only use personal information provided in a verifiable consumer request to verify the requestor’s identity or authority to make the request.</p>
<p>We endeavor to respond to a verifiable consumer request within forty-five (45) days of receipt, but if we require more time, we will inform you of the reason and extension period in writing.
Any disclosures we provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable consumer request’s receipt.
If we cannot comply with the request, our response will explain the reasons we cannot comply.
For data portability requests, we will select a format to provide your personal information that is readily useable and should allow you to easily transfer the information from one entity to another entity.
We do not charge a fee to process or respond to your verifiable consumer request unless it is excessive, repetitive, or manifestly unfounded.
If we determine that the request warrants a fee, we will tell you why we made that decision and provide you with a cost estimate before completing your request.</p>
<p>Personal Information Sales Opt-Out and Opt-In Rights:</p>
<p>If you are 16 years of age or older, you have the right to direct us to not sell your personal information at any time (the “right to opt-out”).
We do not sell the personal information of consumers we actually know are less than 16 years of age, unless we receive affirmative authorization (the “right to opt-in”) from either the consumer who is 13 to 15 years of age, or the parent or guardian of a consumer less than 13 years of age.
Consumers who opt-in to personal information sales may opt-out of future sales at any time.</p>
<p>To exercise the right to opt-out, you can click on the “Do not sell my data” link available on our homepage and other pages of this website.
You will then have the option of clicking on a toggle button or checking a box and confirming your choice to opt-out.
Once you make an opt-out request, we will wait at least twelve (12) months before asking you to reauthorize personal information sales.
However, you may change your mind and opt back in to personal information sales at any time by clicking on the “Do not sell my data” link again and unchecking the box or clicking on the toggle button again and confirming your choice to opt back in.</p> Non-Discrimination <p>We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights.
Unless permitted by the CCPA, we will not do any of the following:</p>
<ul>

<li>Provide you a different level or quality of goods or services.</li>
<li>Suggest that you may receive a different price or rate for goods or services or a different level or quality of goods or services.</li>
</ul>
<p>However, we may offer you certain financial incentives permitted by the CCPA that can result in different prices, rates, or quality levels.
Any CCPA-permitted financial incentive we offer will reasonably relate to your personal information’s value and contain written terms that describe the program’s material aspects.
Participation in a financial incentive program requires your prior opt in consent, which you may revoke at any time.</p> Other California Privacy Rights <p>If you are a California resident, under California’s “Shine the Light” law (Civil Code Section § 1798.83) you may request further information about our practices related to disclosing your personal information to certain third parties and/or opt-out of our sharing of your personal information with unaffiliated third parties for the third parties' direct marketing purposes.

may access the Sites if, and only if, we have obtained verifiable parental consent from their parent or guardian in compliance with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”).
Similarly, children under the age of 16 in Europe are only allowed to access the Sites with verifiable parental consent.
If you are a parent or guardian of a child who wishes to access the Sites, please review our Privacy Policy (including the “California Residents” section above if your child is a resident of California) and discuss it with your child so that you and your child will understand our policies regarding the collection, use and sharing of personal information.

and under age 16 in Europe if it is collected from a child whose parent or guardian has provided verifiable parental consent.
In such cases, and subject to our compliance with applicable law, we may collect personal information from children for any of the purposes set forth in this Privacy Policy and may use, share, and otherwise process such information as set forth in this Privacy Policy.
We take reasonable measures to maintain the confidentiality, security, and integrity of children’s personal information, including by taking reasonable steps to release such information only to third parties capable of maintaining its confidentiality, security and integrity.
We retain children’s personal information only as long as is necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected and delete such information using reasonable measures to protect against its unauthorized access or use.</p>
<p>In the event that we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under age 13 in the U.S.
or under the age 16 in Europe without verification of parental consent, we will delete such information.
If you are a minor age 13 or over in the U.S., a minor age 16 or over in Europe or an individual considered a child in another jurisdiction, you may only use the Sites with the permission and under the supervision of your parent or guardian.</p> Parental consent, choices and access: <p>A parent or guardian who has given us permission to collect, use, and share their child's personal information can, at any time:</p>

<p>In this Privacy Policy (for the users in EU/EEA) (hereinafter “EU Privacy Policy”), "MyAnimeList”, “MAL", "we", "us", or "our" means MyAnimeList Co., Ltd.
(previously MyAnimeList, LLC), the owner and operator of this website www.MyAnimeList.net and MyAnimeList branded mobile applications and related online services (collectively referred to as the “Services” in this EU Privacy Policy).
This EU Privacy Policy contains additional terms that apply to users located in the European Union (“EU”) / European Economic Area (“EEA”) and supplements the Privacy Policy above.<br>
<br> Your privacy is important to MAL.
We designed our EU Privacy Policy to cover how we collect, use and share your information in connection with use of the Services.
By using our Services, you agree to our collection and use of your information, including your personal information, as described in this EU Privacy Policy.<br>
<br> So please take a moment to learn the five W's, the How, and other important matters about the information we collect and how we use and share it.
