Anime Star is for users aged 18+ only. The app is not intended for children or minors. Users under 18 must not use the app. If we learn that we collected personal data from a user under 18, we may delete the account/data and take reasonable steps to remove the data.

- We do not sell personal information.
- Retention differs by category and legal/operational need.
