Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 21, 2026

Your privacy matters. This page explains, in plain language, what data Sorai collects and how it is used.

1. Overview

Sorai is a free, personal, non-commercial anime tracking app. This policy explains what personal data we collect when you use Sorai, why we collect it, and the choices you have. We only collect what is needed to make the app work.

2. Data We Collect

When you create and use an account, we store:

  • Account details: your email address, username, and password. Passwords are securely hashed by our authentication provider and are never visible to us.
  • Profile photo: the image you choose to upload, if any.
  • Your anime list: the titles you save, their watching status, your personal scores, and when you added them.
  • Preferences: settings such as whether sensitive content is shown, and whether your account has been deactivated.
  • Technical data: basic information such as sign-in times and IP addresses, which our service providers record to keep the service secure and working.

You can browse anime on Sorai without an account. In that case we do not store any personal data about you.

3. How We Use Your Data

We use your data only to:

  • Create and manage your account and let you sign in.
  • Save and display your personal anime list and scores.
  • Show your username and profile photo inside the app.
  • Protect the service against abuse and keep it running.

We do not sell your data, we do not show ads, and we do not use your data for marketing.

4. Cookies and Local Storage

Sorai stores a small amount of information in your browser to work properly:

  • Your sign-in session, so you stay logged in.
  • Your light or dark theme preference.
  • A temporary cache of anime data, which is cleared when you close the tab or sign out.

We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

5. Third-Party Services

Sorai relies on the following services to operate:

  • Supabase: stores your account, anime list, preferences, and profile photo, and handles authentication.
  • Vercel: hosts the website.
  • Tenrai API: provides anime information. Requests are sent directly from your browser, so Tenrai may receive your IP address. No account data is shared with Tenrai.
  • YouTube: embedded trailers and theme song links are provided by YouTube, which may collect data according to its own policy when you play or open them.

These providers may process data on servers located outside your country. Each one has its own privacy policy.

6. Data Retention

We keep your data for as long as your account exists. If you deactivate your account, you will no longer be able to sign in, but your data is kept in case you want to reactivate it. If you want your data permanently deleted, contact us and we will remove it.

7. Your Rights and Choices

You have control over your data:

  • Access and export: download your anime list at any time from Settings.
  • Correction: update your username, email, password, and profile photo from Settings.
  • Removal: remove items from your list, remove your profile photo, or deactivate your account from Settings.
  • Deletion: request the permanent deletion of your account and data by contacting us.

Depending on where you live, such as under Peru's Personal Data Protection Law (Law No. 29733), you may have additional rights to access, correct, delete, or object to the processing of your data.

8. Security

We use reasonable measures to protect your data, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), hashed passwords, and database access rules that only allow you to read and change your own data. No online service is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children's Privacy

Sorai is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child under 13 has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy when Sorai changes. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.
