This policy describes how Anime Bingo collects, uses, and shares information. It is written for a United States audience and includes California privacy rights.
1. Who operates this service
Anime Bingo is operated by the publisher of Anime Bingo (“operator,” “we”). The service lets people play bingo cards made from a shared library of cues, with optional accounts for personal cards, boards, and completed games.
If a contact email is listed on this page, use it for privacy requests. Otherwise contact the operator named on this site.
2. Information collected
The service collects the categories below. It does not collect payment information and does not use third-party advertising or analytics cookies.
Account information
An account includes an email address, a password stored in a form that is not readable as the original password, a display name, and basic account activity such as when the account was created and how often it has been used. The email identifies the account and is used to send account verification and password-recovery messages. The service may also store moderation records on an account, including warnings (reason, related card, time, and the moderator who wrote it) and flags such as a restriction on creating new cards.
Cards, boards, and completed games
Signed-in people may create cards and add cues. The service stores each person’s boards (the dealt grids and which squares are marked) and completed games. Public cards and the display name on those cards are visible to other people using the service. Hidden cards are omitted from the library and are visible to anyone who has the link. Private cards are omitted from the library and are visible to the owner and to people the operator authorizes to run the service. A moderator may hide, privatize, or disable a card within the powers the operator grants. A disabled card is omitted from the library and cannot be opened except by the owner (who may delete it) and by administrators.
Guest information
A person who is not signed in may have boards remembered in that browser through an essential session cookie. Signing in can add that visit’s boards to the account when the account does not already have a board for the same card.
Technical information
The service may process an IP address and standard request information to operate and protect the service. That information is not used to build a lasting advertising profile. The hosting environment may also keep ordinary server logs under its own retention.
3. How the information is used
- Provide cards, boards, cues, shows, completed games, and accounts.
- Create, secure, confirm, and recover accounts, including email used for confirmation and password recovery.
- Remember boards and completed games for the person who played.
- Show public cards and the owner’s display name in the library.
- Protect the service and respond to abuse.
- Comply with law and with valid legal process.
4. Sharing
The operator does not sell personal information and does not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. Information is disclosed only:
- To service providers that host or operate the service, acting on the operator’s instructions.
- To people the operator authorizes to run the service, who may see accounts and cards as needed to operate it, including private cards.
- When a person publishes a public card, to other people using the service. Hidden cards are visible to people who have the link.
- When required by law, legal process, or to protect the service, people using it, or the operator.
- In connection with a merger, sale, or transfer of the service, subject to this policy or a successor notice.
5. Cookies
The service uses an essential session cookie so a person can stay signed in and so guest boards can persist in that browser. The cookie lasts up to 30 days. The service does not use advertising cookies or optional analytics cookies.
6. Retention
Account information, owned cards, boards, and completed games are kept until the account is deleted. Some usage totals may be kept in aggregated form. After account deletion, the operator removes the account, cards it owns, that person’s boards, and that person’s completed games. Limited operational or backup copies may remain for a short time as systems rotate.
7. Access, download, and deletion
A signed-in person can download a copy of the personal information stored with the account from the account page, and can delete the account from the same page. Deletion removes the account, cards it owns, boards, and completed games.
A person may also request access, correction, or deletion by contacting the operator at the address in section 1. The operator may need enough information to verify the request.
8. California privacy rights
If the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended by the CPRA) applies, California residents have the right to know the categories and specific pieces of personal information collected, to delete it, to correct it, to opt out of sale or sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising, to limit the use of sensitive personal information, and not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising these rights. The operator does not sell personal information and does not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. Email and password are used to operate the account, not to infer characteristics. To exercise these rights, use the account page or contact the operator as in section 1. An authorized agent may submit a request with proof of authorization.
Categories collected: identifiers (such as email, a guest session identifier, and IP address used to operate and protect the service), account credentials, customer records (display name, cards, cues, boards, shows), and usage information (marks, completed games, and totals). Sources: the person using the service and that person’s device. Business purposes: those in section 3. Disclosures: those in section 4.
9. Children
The service is not directed at children under 13. Do not create an account or provide personal information if you are under 13. If the operator learns that it collected personal information from a child under 13, it deletes that information.
10. Security
The operator uses reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
11. International use
The service is offered with a United States-centric privacy practice. Using it from another country means information is processed in the operator’s systems, which may be in the United States. Download and deletion tools on the account page are available to every signed-in account.
12. Changes
The operator may update this policy. The current version is the one posted on this page. Continued use after a change is posted is acceptance of the updated policy.
13. Contact
Questions about this policy go to the publisher of Anime Bingo.
