Animake Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 11, 2026
1. Our Approach
Animake stores your work on your device by default. Videos and photos you capture stay on your phone and are not sent to our servers unless you turn on cloud sync. We handle only the minimum information needed to run the service.
2. Information We Handle
(1) Content you create
Videos, photos, and metadata such as the date a work was made. Stored on your device. Only if you enable cloud sync is it uploaded, over encrypted connections, to servers operated by our processors.
(2) Account information (only if you sign in)
An identifier, display name, and email address from Apple or Google. If you choose to hide your email with Sign in with Apple, we never receive your real address.
(3) Diagnostics
Crash logs, error reports, and OS version. Not used to identify you.
3. Device Permissions
- Camera: to record panels.
- Microphone: to record audio for video panels.
- Photo library (add only): to save finished works to your camera roll. We never read your existing photos.
All permissions are optional and can be revoked in your device settings; the related features will then stop working.
4. Why We Use It
To provide the App and store and display your works; to enforce retention periods and delete expired works; to deliver rewarded ads and track ad completion; to diagnose bugs and improve quality; to answer your inquiries; and to prevent abuse and comply with the law.
5. Legal Bases (EEA users)
Performance of a contract (providing the service), legitimate interests (abuse prevention and quality), consent (optional features such as cloud sync), and legal obligations.
6. Sharing and Processors
We do not sell personal data. We may use the following processors as needed to run the service:
- Apple (Sign in with Apple)
- Google (sign-in)
- Supabase (database and authentication, when cloud sync is enabled)
- Cloudflare R2 (media storage, when cloud sync is enabled)
We otherwise disclose data only where required by law.
7. Retention
- Works: 3 days from creation, then deleted automatically.
- Account information: while your account exists, and for a reasonable period after a deletion request.
- Diagnostics: up to 12 months.
8. Tracking and Advertising
The App shows rewarded ads for some features. Ads are delivered by third-party networks; we are not responsible for ad content. Those providers may collect information under their own privacy policies.
9. Children's Privacy
The App is not directed to children under 13. If we learn that we hold information about a child under 13, we will delete it promptly. Parents and guardians can contact [email protected].
10. International Transfers
If you enable cloud sync, your data may be processed on servers outside your country. We apply appropriate safeguards required by applicable law.
11. Your Rights
Depending on where you live, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or portability of your personal data; withdraw consent; and lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority. Write to [email protected]; we generally respond within 30 days.
12. How to Delete Your Data
- Individual works: they are deleted automatically when the 3-day retention period ends.
- Everything on the device: delete the App; local works go with it.
- Account and cloud data: use "Delete account" in Settings.
13. Security
We use TLS for transport, access controls, and least-privilege practices. No transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
14. Changes to This Policy
We will announce changes in the App and notify you before material changes take effect.
