Privacy Policy

Last Updated and Effective:  December 18, 2023

This privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") applies only to the information collected by Aniplex of America (“AOA”, “we,” or “us”), both offline and online, including through the AOA Official website ( https://aniplexusa.com/) and any other websites, mobile apps, or other digital properties managed by AOA and that post a link to this Privacy Policy, whether accessed via computer, mobile device, or other technology (collectively, “Properties”). The websites, mobile apps, and other digital properties of companies affiliated with or related to us that are in the Sony Group of companies (collectively, “Affiliates” or “Sony Group Companies”), including some that are linked to/from the Properties, may have different privacy policies; therefore, please review the privacy policies on those properties if you visit them.

This Privacy Policy explains the information that AOA may collect when you interact with us and our practices with respect to that information. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. In addition, please review the applicable Terms and Conditions for the Properties, which govern your use of the Properties.

We may ask you to provide information that could reasonably be used to contact you or to identify you personally such as your first and last name, e-mail address, mailing address, and phone number ("Personal Information").

We may also ask you to provide other information about yourself, such as your organization’s name and your title or certain information about your preferences and interests. If we combine your preference information with Personal Information about you, we will treat the combined information as Personal Information.

If you choose to contact us, we may also collect that Personal Information for the purposes of responding to any questions or comments.

The Properties are intended for individuals who are 13 years of age and older. We do not knowingly seek or collect information from persons younger than 13 years of age. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected Personal Information from a person younger than 13 years of age through the Properties, we will take reasonable measures to delete such information from our records to the extent that we can recognize it.

Usage Information. In addition to any information that you choose to provide to AOA, whenever you visit or interact with the Properties, AOA as well as third-party analytics providers or other service providers may use a variety of technologies that automatically or passively collect information about how the Properties are accessed and used ("Usage Information"). Usage Information may include, without limitation, browser type, operating system, the page viewed, time on the Properties, and the preceding page views. Usage Information is treated as Personal Information where required by law.

Device Identifiers. AOA may also automatically collect your IP address or other unique identifiers ("Device Identifiers") for the computer, mobile device, technology, or other device (collectively, "Devices") you use to access the Properties. A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to your Device when you access a property or its servers, and our computers identify your Device by its Device Identifier. Some mobile service providers may also provide us or our third-party service providers with information regarding the physical location of the Device used to access the Properties.

Cookies.  A cookie is a simple text file, containing small amounts of information, that a website asks your browser to store on your device to remember information about you, such as your language preference. In this Privacy Policy, the term “cookie” also refers to similar technologies that carry out the purposes described below, such as web tags or other trackers.

Cookies that are set by us are called first-party cookies and can only be read by us. AOA is the data controller of these cookies. The Property may also use third-party cookies, which are cookies set by an organization other than AOA, and these typically allow us to analyze site usage and improve the site experience. AOA may not control the storage or access to these cookies. You should review the privacy and cookie policies of these services to find out how these entities use cookies and where your cookie data is being stored and processed. Information collected from cookies may be transferred to a country other than your own, where different laws may apply. Where required, AOA will take reasonable steps to ensure that data protection and information security protections are applied by our service providers and partners.

You can configure your browser or Device to block use of certain cookies. In addition, some Properties may have a cookie consent preference management capability that you can customize. But please note that without certain cookies, it may make it difficult for you to use certain features on the Properties.

Website Analytics. We may use Google Analytics provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies to help us analyze website usage. The information generated by Google's cookies about your use of this website (including your IP address) will be transferred to and held on Google's servers in the US. Google will use this information to analyze your use of the website. Google may also transfer the information to third parties where required to do so by law or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with other information maintained by Google. By using this, you consent to the processing of your information collected by Google as described above and for the purposes described above.

Third Party Tracking. Please note that third parties may collect Personal Information about your online activities over time and across different websites when you visit or use the Properties or other online websites and services. For example, some third parties' embedded content or plugins on the Properties, such as media players, allow their operators to learn that you have visited or interacted with our Properties, and they may combine this information with other, identifiable information they have collected about your visits to other websites or online services. These third parties may handle this information, and other information they directly collect through their content and plugins, pursuant to their own privacy policies.

Online Tracking. Some web browsers incorporate a “Do Not Track” feature that signals to websites that you visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked. How browsers communicate the Do Not Track signal is not yet uniform. For this reason, our Properties do not respond to such signals, except where required by law. To find out more about Do Not Track, please visit www.allaboutdnt.com.

AOA may receive information about you from our business partners, including entities working on AOA's behalf. For example, if you are on another property and you opt-in to receive information from us, that property may forward to us your e-mail address and other information about you so that we may contact you as requested. In those cases, we will apply this Privacy Policy to any Personal Information received, unless we have disclosed otherwise.

Social Media Functionality, Content, Links to Other Properties and Services, and AOA Content on Other Websites

Certain content on the Properties may be hosted and served by other entities, which may include additional functionality (such as those that allow you to “Like” or “Share” content on other websites or interactive services or to provide ratings and reviews). Interaction with this content and functionality may result in your Personal Information becoming publicly available, linked with other profiles or accounts, or otherwise accessed by other entities. You should review those other entities’ privacy policies prior to using their functionality.

In addition, when you are on the Properties you may be directed to other websites that are operated and controlled by other entities that are beyond our control. This includes links from advertisers, sponsors and partners that may use our logo(s) as part of a co-branding agreement. In addition, AOA content may be included on web pages and websites that are not associated with us and over which we have no control. These other websites may send their own cookies to your Device, and they may independently collect data or solicit Personal Information. AOA is not responsible for the privacy practices of any other entity.

AOA will use the information it collects, including your Personal Information: (i) to accept your participation in some activities, such as sweepstakes, contests, and other promotions; (ii) to provide you with support including responding to queries and other requests (iii) to tailor the content, advertisements, and offers you see and to determine which of our products, services, promotions or other offerings might be of interest to you; (iv) to improve the Properties and our products and services; (v) for internal business purposes; (vi) to contact you about your use of the Properties or any changes to our policies; (vii) to secure the Properties from unauthorized access or activity; (viii) to comply with the law and establish or defend legal claims; (ix) for purposes disclosed at the time you provide your Personal Information; (x) to verify your identity; and (xi) otherwise with your consent.

We may disclose non-Personal Information, such as aggregate user statistics, demographic information, and Usage Information with other entities for a variety of purposes, including tailoring AOA promotions, advertising, and communications that we present to you.

We may also disclose your information, including your Personal Information, as described at the time you provide your information, as set forth in this Privacy Policy and in the following circumstances:

AOA Affiliates. We may share your Personal Information within and among our Affiliates some of which are outside the scope of this Privacy Policy, for any purpose, including but not limited to: (i) business development; (ii) community administration or development; (iii) support of various business processes; (iv) security; (v) research and development; and (vi) enabling us to link your Usage Information between and amongst certain AOA and Affiliate properties. We may also disclose your Personal Information so that Affiliates may use your information in connection with any of the purposes described above in the Section entitled “How AOA Uses the Information It Collects.” Affiliates that do not follow this Privacy Policy will handle your information in accordance with their own privacy policies, the terms of which may be different than this Privacy Policy.

Business Partners Providing Services on Our Behalf. We may from time to time employ business partners to perform functions on our behalf, for example: hosting or operating the Properties; sending e-mail, and other communications; providing customer support; and performing data analysis. We may disclose Personal Information to business partners for them to provide content, complete a requested transaction or otherwise perform services for AOA. We and our Affiliates may also disclose your Personal Information with advertising partners and with co-promotion partners.

When You Consent or Otherwise Request That We Disclose Your Information. We or our Affiliates may offer you the opportunity to receive information and/or marketing offers from other entities or to otherwise consent to the disclosure of your information to another entity. If you choose to have your Personal Information disclosed in this way, your Personal Information will be disclosed to that entity and the Personal Information you disclose will be subject to the privacy policy and business practices of that entity. If you consent to receiving communications from them, you will need to communicate with them directly if you later decide that you no longer wish to receive their communications. You also may request, sometimes through your use of an interactive feature or application, that we share information about you with another entity and we will typically do so under those circumstances.

Business Transfers.  AOA or any of its assets, including the Properties, may be sold, or other transactions may occur in which your Personal Information is one of the key business assets of the transaction. In such a case, your Personal Information may be one of the business assets we transfer. Hence, AOA and our Affiliates reserve the right to disclose and transfer user information, including Personal Information in connection with a corporate merger, consolidation, restructuring, reorganization, the sale of certain stock and/or assets, or other corporate change including, without limitation, during the course of any due diligence process.

Legal Protections and Law Enforcement. We may transfer and disclose information, including your Personal Information, Usage Information, and/or Device Identifiers (including IP addresses) to another entity to: comply with a legal obligation; to prevent fraud; when we believe in good faith that the law requires it; at the official request of governmental authorities conducting an investigation; to verify or enforce AOA’s Terms and Conditions of Use or other applicable policies; to respond to an emergency; or otherwise to protect the rights, property, safety or security of AOA and its Affiliates, visitors to our Properties, or the public. We may also use Device Identifiers to identify users, and may do so in cooperation with copyright owners, Internet service providers, wireless service providers, or law enforcement agencies, in our discretion or as required by law. Depending on the circumstances, such disclosures may be carried out without notice to you.

Sweepstakes, Contests and Promotions. We, our Affiliates, and our business partners may offer sweepstakes, contests, and other promotions (each, a “Promotion”) that may require registration. If you choose to enter a Promotion, your Personal Information may be disclosed to an Affiliate or business partner in connection with the administration of such Promotion, such as in connection with winner selection, prize fulfillment, and as required by law, such as on a winners list. By entering a Promotion, you are agreeing to the official rules that govern that Promotion, which may contain specific requirements of you, including, except where prohibited by law, allowing the sponsor and/or other parties to use your name, voice and/or likeness in advertising or marketing materials.

Co-Promotion Partners.  The Properties may offer opportunities to enter a contest or sweepstakes or other feature that we offer jointly with another entity. As a result of your participation in such features, your information may be disclosed by us or our Affiliates to the entity that is jointly offering the feature, which will be disclosed at the time your information is collected. Co-promotion partners that do not follow this Privacy Policy will handle your information in accordance with their own privacy policies, the terms of which may be different than this Privacy Policy.

Our Properties may offer the opportunity to submit questions, comments, suggestions or other content, including Personal Information (collectively, "User Submissions").

Note that User Submissions that you post are public. Information you choose to post may be viewed, collected, used, or disclosed by others. If you choose to voluntarily disclose User Submissions, the protections of this Privacy Policy will not cover such disclosures of information. Think carefully before you post and use caution before disclosing any Personal Information.

User Submissions may be published online or offline in any media or format. We may also publish your name and other Personal Information with your User Submissions, and AOA may use the content, or any portion of the content, for advertising, marketing, publicity and promotional activities. By providing any information or content as a User Submission, you represent to AOA that you have the right to do so that the User Submission is correctly attributed as being submitted by you, and that the User Submission is authentic and genuine. AOA may remove any User Submission from its Properties at our discretion if we determine that it was submitted without proper permission, is harmful or inappropriate, or otherwise violates the law, the legal rights of others, or our policies.

We seek to maintain reasonable security measures designed to help protect your information against unauthorized or accidental disclosure, access, misuse, loss, or alteration. There is no such thing as perfect security. Although we strive to protect your information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of such information

To help protect you and others, we monitor use of the Properties, and we use the Personal Information and other information we collect, in order to: (i) identify fraudulent activities and transactions; (ii) prevent abuse and investigate and/or seek prosecution for any potential threats to, or misuse of, the Properties; (iii) ensure compliance with the applicable terms of service and this Privacy Policy; (iv) investigate violations of, or enforce, these agreements; and otherwise to protect the rights and property of us, our partners, and customers. Monitoring may result in the collection, recording, and analysis of online activity or communications through the Properties. Unless otherwise required by law, we are not responsible for monitoring or recording any activity on the Properties, including communications, although we reserve the right to do so. If you do not consent to these conditions, you must discontinue your use of the Properties.

We may retain information about you for as long as necessary for us to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. We may retain your information for an additional time period as is permitted or required to, among other things, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.  In accordance with our routine record keeping, we may delete certain records containing your Personal Information. In addition, we shall also delete your information when required by applicable law. Please note that when we delete your information from active databases, the information may remain on backup or storage media for a certain period of time.

The Properties are operated in and intended for use in the United States. AOA and our Affiliates may collect, transfer and/or retain your Personal Information in jurisdictions, including the United States, that do not have the same level of legal protections for Personal Information as your local jurisdiction. AOA undertakes appropriate and suitable safeguards to ensure your rights continue to be protected, including by entering the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. If you are concerned that we have not complied with your legal rights or applicable privacy laws, you may contact us or exercise your right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

AOA reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time, without prior notice to you, and any changes will become effective immediately upon posting, so please review this Privacy Policy periodically.
