Privacy Policy

ChineseAnimeTop ("we", "us", "the site") is operated by Aion Ren as part of the Aion Media portfolio. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights.

1. Information we collect

1.1 Automatically collected

When you visit ChineseAnimeTop, our hosting platform (Cloudflare) and analytics tools automatically collect:

• IP address (anonymized in analytics)
• Browser type and version
• Device type (mobile/desktop/tablet)
• Operating system
• Pages visited and time spent
• Referring website
• Country/region of access

This information is collected in aggregate form for traffic analytics. We don't use it to identify individual visitors.

1.2 Information you provide

If you contact us via email, we collect the email address you write from and the content of your message. We use this only to respond to you.

2. How we use information

• Improving the site: Understanding which articles are popular, where readers come from, what they search for.
• Serving relevant content: Showing related articles based on what you've read.
• Personalized advertising: Through Google AdSense and similar networks (see Section 4).
• Affiliate tracking: When you click outbound affiliate links, the destination service may track that you came from ChineseAnimeTop (see Section 5).
• Email responses: Replying to messages you send us.

3. Cookies

This site uses cookies for:

• Essential cookies: Required for site functionality (e.g. Cloudflare security).
• Analytics cookies: Help us understand site usage anonymously.
• Advertising cookies: Set by ad networks to serve relevant ads.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some site features may not work properly.

4. Advertising

ChineseAnimeTop uses third-party advertising networks, including Google AdSense, to display advertisements. These networks use cookies and similar technologies to show you ads based on:

• Your prior visits to this and other websites
• Your inferred interests
• Your location and demographics

You can opt out of personalized advertising via Google's Ad Settings or aboutads.info.

5. Affiliate links

Some links on this site are affiliate links. When you click them and make a purchase or subscription at the destination, we may receive a commission. This commission comes from the merchant, not from you — your price is unaffected.

Affiliate links are always clearly labeled as such. We currently use:

• Crunchyroll affiliate program
• Amazon Associates
• Other anime/donghua-related platforms (clearly labeled where used)

6. Data sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share data only with:

• Service providers necessary to operate the site (hosting, analytics, advertising)
• Affiliate partners — but only the fact that you clicked a link, not your personal data
• Legal authorities if required by law

7. Children's privacy

ChineseAnimeTop is not directed at children under 13. We don't knowingly collect information from children. If you believe we've inadvertently collected data from a child, contact us and we'll delete it.

8. International users

Our servers are located worldwide (Cloudflare's global CDN). If you access this site from outside China, your data may be processed in jurisdictions with different privacy laws than your own.

EU/UK users (GDPR)

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you
• Request correction or deletion
• Object to processing
• Withdraw consent
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority

To exercise these rights, email renbeijin@gmail.com.

California users (CCPA)

You have the right to know what personal data we collect, request deletion, and opt out of any "sale" of personal information. We don't sell personal information.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy. Material changes will be noted at the top of this page with a new "Last updated" date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance.
