F. API Request Data

When communicating with Weeber API infrastructure, network-level metadata (e.g., IP address, request headers, timestamps) may be processed by the backend and infrastructure providers for security, fraud prevention, and reliability.

4) How We Collect Data

• Directly from you (registration, profile edits, watchlist/review actions)
• Automatically from app usage and diagnostics
• From integrated providers (e.g., authentication, billing, notifications)
• From your device/app context (e.g., locale-based compliance region tagging)

5) Why We Use Data (Purposes)

• Create and manage your account
• Authenticate sign-in and protect account security
• Provide core features (anime discovery, watchlist, ratings/reviews, groups, social features)
• Sync progress and preferences across sessions
• Deliver push notifications you choose to receive
• Operate subscriptions and premium entitlements
• Show ads for eligible non-premium users
• Measure service quality, reliability, and performance
• Detect, investigate, and prevent abuse, fraud, and unauthorized use
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce terms

6) Legal Bases (EEA/UK-style Framework)

• Performance of a contract (providing the Service)
• Legitimate interests (security, abuse prevention, service integrity)
• Consent (e.g., analytics/telemetry and ad personalization, where required)
• Legal obligation (compliance, record-keeping, legal requests)

You can change relevant consent choices in-app where available.

7) Ads, Analytics, and Consent

• Personalized ads may be enabled only when you explicitly consent (where required)
• Non-personalized ads may be shown otherwise (for eligible users)
• Analytics and crash collection can be adjusted based on consent settings

Weeber may use Google AdMob and related Google ad services for ad delivery and ad measurement.

8) Third-Party Services We Use

• Google Firebase Authentication
• Google Firebase Firestore
• Google Firebase Storage
• Google Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)
• Google Firebase Crashlytics
• Google Firebase Analytics
• Firebase App Check / Google Play Integrity
• Google Sign-In
• Google AdMob (ads/monetization)
• Google Play Billing (subscriptions)
• Weeber API infrastructure providers

These providers process data under their own terms/policies and as processors/sub-processors where applicable.

9) Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We may share data:

• With service providers/processors to operate the Service
• Within user-visible features (e.g., your username/avatar/reviews in social/group contexts)
• When required by law, court order, or lawful authority
• To establish, exercise, or defend legal claims
• During corporate transactions (merger/acquisition/restructuring), subject to safeguards

10) International Data Transfers

Your data may be processed in countries outside your own. Where legally required, we apply appropriate safeguards (such as contractual protections and transfer mechanisms recognized by applicable law).

11) Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy.

• Account/profile/community data: retained while your account is active
• Subscription metadata: retained as needed for billing, fraud prevention, and legal obligations
• Crash/security/operational logs: retained for troubleshooting, abuse prevention, and compliance periods

When no longer needed, data is deleted, anonymized, or aggregated.

12) Security Measures

• Authentication controls
• Access restrictions and security rules
• Encrypted local storage for sensitive app-side tokens
• Abuse/rate-limiting and account lockout mechanisms
• App integrity checks and monitoring

No system can be guaranteed 100% secure, but we continuously improve protection controls.

13) Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to:

• Access your data
• Correct inaccurate data
• Delete your data/account
• Restrict or object to certain processing
• Data portability
• Withdraw consent (where processing is consent-based)
• Lodge a complaint with a relevant supervisory authority

In-app Deletion

Weeber provides in-app account deletion flow. Deleting account triggers deletion of core user data associated with the account, subject to legal retention requirements.

14) Children

Weeber is not intended for children under the age required by your local law (commonly under 13, or higher where applicable). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children in violation of law. If you believe a child has provided personal data unlawfully, contact us to remove it.

15) Cookies and Similar Technologies

On mobile, Weeber may use SDK-level identifiers and local storage mechanisms (instead of browser cookies) for authentication, preferences, analytics, diagnostics, and ads, according to consent and legal requirements.

16) Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes may be communicated via in-app notice, release notes, or other appropriate channels. Continued use after updates means you acknowledge the revised policy.
