Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Yomiru collects, uses, stores, shares, and protects information when you use our website, apps, and related services.

By using Yomiru, you acknowledge the practices described in this Policy.

We collect information you provide directly, information generated through your use of the service, and certain technical information from devices and browsers used to access Yomiru.

• account information such as email address, username, password credentials handled by our authentication provider, birthday month/day, avatar, and profile settings
• activity information such as watchlist items, reading and viewing progress, ratings, comments, follows, settings, and notification preferences
• technical information such as IP address, device type, browser type, app version, crash logs, referrer data, and coarse location inferred from network signals
• communication data when you contact support or respond to surveys, emails, or announcements

We use information to operate, secure, improve, and personalize Yomiru.

• create and maintain accounts
• authenticate users and protect against fraud or abuse
• sync watchlists, history, and preferences across devices
• deliver notifications you request
• understand feature usage, performance, and reliability
• respond to support, legal, trust, and safety matters
• comply with legal obligations and enforce our policies

Where required by law, we rely on one or more of the following bases: performance of a contract, legitimate interests, consent, and compliance with legal obligations.

We may use cookies, local storage, SDKs, and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, measure performance, prevent abuse, and understand product usage.

Some analytics or advertising partners may set their own cookies or collect device-level identifiers, subject to their own policies and applicable law.

We do not sell your personal information in the ordinary sense of transferring it for money. We may share information in limited circumstances necessary to run the service.

• service providers that help us operate infrastructure, analytics, notifications, support, or security
• legal authorities, rights holders, or counterparties when required by law or necessary to investigate abuse, fraud, or rights violations
• business transferees in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, or asset sale

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, comply with law, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Retention periods vary based on the type of data and the reason it was collected.

We may retain limited records after account deletion where necessary for security, legal, fraud-prevention, or audit purposes.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or export certain personal information.

You may also be able to manage account details, notifications, and some privacy settings directly inside the service.

Yomiru and its providers may process information in countries other than your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border data transfers.

We use administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Yomiru is not directed to children under the minimum age required by applicable law to use the service without parental authorization. If you believe a child provided personal information inappropriately, contact us so we can investigate.

Yomiru may link to or integrate with third-party services. Those services are governed by their own privacy policies and practices, not this Policy.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If changes are material, we may provide notice through the service or by email. Your continued use of Yomiru after the effective date of the revised Policy means the updated Policy applies.
