Last updated: November 11, 2026
Ganime ("Ganime," "we," "us," or "our") is operated by Fresh Road Studio Inc. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information when you use the Ganime mobile application, the website at ganime.io, and related services (collectively, the "Service").
Ganime allows eligible users to discover and watch anime series and, where permitted, to create, upload, publish, and monetize animated stories and episodes. Creator features are restricted to adults aged 18 or older.
This Privacy Policy is a notice of our privacy practices. Where applicable law requires consent for a particular activity, we will request that consent separately.
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information processed through the Service. It does not apply to third-party websites, applications, or services that are governed by their own privacy policies.
Fresh Road Studio Inc. is the controller of personal information described in this Privacy Policy, except where another entity is identified as the controller at the point of collection.
The information we collect depends on how you use the Service and which features are available in your region.
We may receive information from authentication providers, app stores, payment and payout providers, wallet and identity-verification providers, analytics and fraud-prevention services, other users who interact with or report content, and public sources where permitted by law.
The Service is not designed for users to submit highly sensitive personal information in prompts or content unless it is specifically requested for a supported feature. Please do not include government identification numbers, financial credentials, health information, or other confidential personal information in a prompt or upload unless necessary for a feature that clearly requests it.
If you upload an image, voice recording, video, or other information about another person, you are responsible for having the rights and permissions needed to provide that material to the Service. Ganime does not use facial or voice information to uniquely identify or authenticate a person unless we provide separate notice and obtain any consent required by law.
If you submit a copyright complaint or counter-notification, we may process and disclose the contact and identity details required for that procedure, including sharing a legally sufficient counter-notification with the original complainant as required by the DMCA.
We use personal information to:
We may create aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be linked to you and use it for analytics, research, business planning, and service improvement. We will not attempt to re-identify information that applicable law requires us to maintain in de-identified form.
Ganime uses artificial-intelligence technologies to provide its core features. Prompts, instructions, uploaded media, generated content, and associated technical information may be sent to AI service providers to perform functions such as:
AI providers may temporarily retain content and related technical data to provide their services, maintain security, detect abuse, and comply with law. Retention varies by provider, feature, and technical configuration.
Unless we provide separate notice and obtain your permission where required, Ganime does not use your private prompts or private uploads to train general-purpose AI models, and we do not authorize our AI service providers to use that private content to train general-purpose models for their own benefit. Published content may be processed to host, deliver, moderate, promote, and improve the Ganime Service under applicable terms. Any use of content for model training will be subject to those terms, applicable provider arrangements, and any legally required notice or permission.
AI systems and automated moderation tools may make mistakes. Where the Service provides a content-moderation appeal process, you may request review of an affected decision.
Your drafts are not public unless you choose to publish or share them through a public or shared feature. When you publish content, your display name, profile picture, series, episodes, descriptions, and related community activity may be visible to other users and may be shared outside the Service.
Public content may be indexed by search engines or copied, downloaded, recorded, or reshared by other people. If you later delete or unpublish content, we generally remove it from new public discovery and purchases, but previously purchased episodes or series may remain available to entitled viewers under the Creator Agreement. Copies controlled by other people, search engines, caches, or third-party services may remain.
Payments may be processed by Stripe, Apple, Google, or other authorized providers. Those providers process payment information under their own privacy notices. Ganime receives information necessary to confirm and administer a transaction, such as a transaction identifier, purchase status, amount, currency, subscription status, Credits used, or limited billing information.
If Ganime offers GUSD, wallet, withdrawal, or creator-payout functionality, personal information may be shared with the financial-infrastructure, wallet, payment, identity-verification, banking, tax, fraud-prevention, sanctions-screening, or payout providers needed to complete the requested service and comply with law.
If a GUSD or wallet transaction is recorded on a public blockchain, the wallet address, transaction identifier, amount, time, and related blockchain information may be publicly visible and permanently recorded. Ganime generally cannot edit or delete information recorded on a public blockchain.
Creator earnings are based on eligible Paid Credits. Promotional Credits normally do not produce creator earnings unless a specific promotion provides otherwise. Creator Earnings are subject to a 30-day hold, and the standard minimum withdrawal is US$10 (1,000 Creator Earnings Credits), as described in the Creator Agreement. We process the wallet, transaction, eligibility, verification, tax, and payout information needed to administer these features.
We use necessary cookies and local storage to authenticate users, keep accounts secure, maintain sessions, remember settings, and provide requested features. On our website, Google Analytics may use cookies and process usage, device, browser, online identifier, and IP-derived approximate location information to measure traffic and improve the Service.
We use Google Analytics for audience measurement and Service improvement, not to run cross-context behavioral advertising campaigns. Where required, we request consent before setting non-essential analytics cookies or activating comparable tracking technologies. Available settings and browser controls may allow you to limit analytics. Disabling necessary storage may prevent parts of the Service from functioning correctly. Whether a particular data disclosure is legally considered a sale or sharing depends on actual technology settings and contractual practices.
We may disclose personal information as follows:
We use providers to perform services on our behalf. Depending on the features used, these may include:
| Provider or category | Purpose |
|---|---|
| OpenAI | Story and text generation, image generation, speech processing, and content moderation |
| Volcengine / BytePlus, including Seedance | AI video generation |
| Bunny.net | Video hosting, encoding, and content delivery |
| Cloudinary | Image and media storage and processing |
| MongoDB Atlas | Database hosting |
| Netlify | Website and application hosting |
| Stripe | Card payment processing and related payment services |
| Apple and Google | App distribution, in-app purchases, authentication, and platform services |
| Google Analytics | Website analytics |
| Email delivery providers | Receipts, password resets, security notices, and other transactional email |
| Financial, wallet, identity-verification, tax, fraud-prevention, and payout providers | GUSD, wallet, withdrawal, compliance, and creator-payment services, if offered |
We require service providers to protect personal information and process it only for contracted purposes, subject to applicable law and our agreements with them.
We disclose information when you direct us to do so, publish content, connect a third-party service, participate in a promotion, or otherwise provide consent.
We may disclose information when we reasonably believe it is necessary to comply with law, regulation, legal process, or an enforceable governmental request; investigate fraud, abuse, security incidents, or illegal activity; enforce our agreements; or protect the rights, property, and safety of Ganime, Fresh Road Studio Inc., users, providers, or the public.
Copyright and legal disputes. When you file a copyright or DMCA notice or counter-notification, we may share the information required by law with the affected creator, the complainant, their representatives, courts, or other authorized recipients. For example, a legally valid DMCA counter-notification may be forwarded to the original complainant with the identifying and contact information it contains. We may keep records of copyright complaints and enforcement decisions to operate our repeat-infringer process.
We may disclose information in connection with a financing, merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, sale of assets, or similar corporate transaction. Any successor will be subject to this Privacy Policy or will provide notice of materially different practices as required by law.
Ganime does not sell personal information or intentionally disclose it for cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted advertising, as those terms are defined under applicable U.S. state privacy laws. We do not use Google Analytics for advertising personalization. We periodically assess our analytics configuration, service-provider agreements, and other data flows to support these commitments.
We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of minors for cross-context behavioral advertising. If these practices materially change, we will update this Policy and provide applicable notice and privacy choices before the new activity begins.
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including providing the Service, maintaining security, complying with financial and legal obligations, resolving disputes, and enforcing agreements.
Our intended retention schedule is:
| Information | General retention period |
|---|---|
| Account and profile information | While the account is active; generally deleted or de-identified within 30 days after a completed account-deletion request, subject to exceptions below |
| Private prompts, drafts, uploads, and generated content | Until you delete them or close your account; residual backup copies may remain for up to 90 days |
| Published content | Until deleted or unpublished, except for content retained to serve previous purchases, resolve legal/copyright matters, or meet other lawful obligations; residual caches/backups generally up to 90 days after removal from active systems. |
| AI-provider processing copies | For the period needed to provide the requested function and for any limited security, safety, abuse-prevention, or legal retention permitted under our provider agreements |
| Purchases, GUSD transactions, withdrawals, payouts, identity verification, and tax records | Generally seven years, or longer if required by financial, tax, anti-fraud, sanctions, accounting, or other law |
| Support, copyright complaints, and disputes | Generally three years after closure, or longer where necessary for an active copyright claim, repeat-infringer enforcement, dispute, or legal obligation. |
| Analytics information | Generally up to 14 months in identifiable or pseudonymous form; aggregated or de-identified statistics may be retained longer |
| Security and diagnostic logs | Generally up to 24 months, unless needed longer to investigate an incident, prevent abuse, or comply with law |
| Backups | Generally overwritten or deleted within 90 days after deletion from active systems |
You may initiate account deletion through Settings → Account → Delete Account or through Ganime’s external account-deletion page, if available. You may also contact us at support@ganime.io. Creators should request eligible outstanding earnings before closing an account; the handling of valid unpaid earnings is governed by the Creator Agreement.
When an account is deleted, we delete or de-identify associated personal information unless retention is necessary for legal compliance, financial recordkeeping, creator payouts, fraud prevention, security, copyright complaints, dispute resolution, enforcement, protection of other users, or another purpose permitted by law. Account deletion does not necessarily remove content previously purchased by viewers where Ganime is entitled to continue delivering it under the Creator Agreement. We may separate retained content from a deleted account profile or remove identifying profile information where appropriate. Account deletion does not delete public blockchain records or copies controlled by other people or unaffiliated services.
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information. These safeguards include encrypted network connections, access controls, monitoring, and secure password handling. Where Ganime stores passwords, they are stored using one-way cryptographic hashing rather than in readable form.
No transmission or storage system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and notifying us if you suspect unauthorized access.
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
You can update certain information and preferences through your account settings. To submit another privacy request, contact support@ganime.io or use the privacy-request form made available through the Service. We may verify your identity before completing a request and may request information necessary to confirm an authorized agent’s authority.
We will respond within the time required by applicable law. Some rights are subject to exceptions, and certain information may be retained when legally permitted or required. If we deny a request, we will provide an explanation and appeal instructions when required.
You may opt out of promotional email by using the unsubscribe link in the message. You can manage push notifications through the Service or your device settings.
You may also contact us to exercise rights relating to age-verification information or copyright-complaint records, although certain information may have to be retained or shared to satisfy legal obligations.
Applicable U.S. state privacy laws may require additional disclosures concerning categories of personal information. Depending on the features used, Ganime may collect the following categories:
| Category | Examples | Sources | Purposes and recipients |
|---|---|---|---|
| Identifiers | Name, email, username, IP address, device identifiers, account identifiers | You, devices, authentication providers | Account operation, security, support; disclosed to hosting, authentication, security, and support providers |
| Customer records and commercial information | Purchases, subscriptions, GUSD activity, creator earnings, withdrawals, transaction history | You, app stores, payment and financial providers | Transactions, accounting, fraud prevention, compliance; disclosed to payment, financial, accounting, and compliance providers |
| Internet or electronic activity | Searches, views, watch history, interactions, session and diagnostic data | Your use of the Service and integrated technologies | Service operation, analytics, recommendations, security; disclosed to hosting, analytics, content-delivery, and security providers |
| Audio, visual, and creative content | Images, video, audio, voice, prompts, scripts, characters, episodes | You and Service-generated outputs | AI generation, hosting, publishing, moderation; disclosed to AI, media, hosting, and moderation providers |
| Approximate geolocation | Location inferred from IP address | Devices and network connections | Localization, security, fraud prevention; disclosed to hosting, analytics, and security providers |
| Inferences and preferences | Content interests and recommendations derived from activity | Service activity | Personalization and recommendations; disclosed to providers supporting those functions |
| Sensitive personal information | Account credentials; financial account, wallet, government ID, or identity-verification information when required | You and payment, wallet, or verification providers | Authentication, payments, payouts, fraud prevention, and legal compliance; disclosed only to providers supporting those purposes and authorized recipients |
Ganime uses and discloses sensitive personal information only for purposes reasonably necessary to provide requested services, maintain security, prevent fraud, and comply with law. We do not use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics about users for unrelated purposes.
As described in Section 9, we do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We disclose the categories above to service providers and contractors for the business purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
California residents may have rights to know, access, correct, delete, and obtain information about our collection and disclosure practices; to opt out of sale or sharing where applicable; to limit certain uses of sensitive personal information; and to receive equal treatment. Residents of other states may have similar rights, including portability, opt-out, and appeal rights. Instructions for exercising these rights appear in Section 12.
If European data-protection law applies, we rely on the following legal bases:
You may have rights of access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, objection, and withdrawal of consent. You may also lodge a complaint with the data-protection authority in the country where you live, work, or believe a violation occurred.
Ganime is not directed to children under 13. Viewers must be at least 13 years old and meet any higher minimum age applicable where they live. Creator features are available only to users aged 18 or older. Users under 18 may not create, upload, publish, or monetize through creator features, even with parent or guardian permission. We may use age confirmations or verification checks to enforce eligibility.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that a user is under 13 or that an account has been created contrary to applicable age requirements, we will take appropriate steps to restrict access and delete personal information as required by law, subject to any legally required retention. A parent or guardian who believes a child under 13 has provided personal information may contact support@ganime.io.
If we determine that a creator is under 18, we may disable creator privileges and remove or unpublish associated content. Any valid earnings and legally required records will be handled in accordance with applicable law and the Creator Agreement. If Ganime later offers a child-directed experience, we will introduce the notices, parental-consent procedures, and controls required before offering that experience.
Ganime operates globally. Personal information may be processed and stored in the United States and other countries where we and our providers operate. These countries may have data-protection laws that differ from those where you live.
Where required, we use legally recognized safeguards for international transfers, such as adequacy decisions, contractual protections, and Standard Contractual Clauses. You may contact us for information about safeguards applicable to your personal information.
Depending on the applicable privacy law, you may also have rights or protections relating to automated decisions and profiling. Ganime uses automated processing for content safety, fraud detection, and eligibility screening; requests for human review or further information will be considered where required by law.
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to the Service, our practices, providers, or applicable law. We will post the revised policy and update the “Last updated” date. If changes are material, we will provide additional notice through the Service, email, or another appropriate method. We will obtain consent before applying a change where required by law.
