Privacy Policy

• ◆Account data — email address and a cryptographically hashed, salted password when you register an account.
• ◆Preferences — saved anime titles, watchlists, customized playlists, blacklisted tags, and video player configuration settings (such as audio, subtitles, and volume levels).
• ◆Communications — inquiries, reports, or messages you submit directly to our support team, DMCA takedown requests, or contact forms.

• ◆Usage data — videos streamed, playback duration, resume checkpoints, and search queries used to power personal watch history and intelligent recommendations.
• ◆Device data — IP address, browser type, operating system, and coarse regional location (country/city level) used for edge routing, fraud prevention, and regional localization.
• ◆Cookies & local storage — small session identifiers and local browser storage keys that keep you securely signed in, preserve active playback positions, and remember UI preferences.

• ◆Provide, maintain, and secure the streaming platform and your personal registered account.
• ◆Remember exactly where you left off across devices and generate accurate suggestions for related series.
• ◆Detect, prevent, and respond to automated scraping bots, DDoS attacks, security intrusions, and malicious exploit attempts.
• ◆Deliver and measure digital advertising on free tiers, including strict frequency capping to prevent repetitive ad impressions.
• ◆Comply with statutory legal obligations, valid law-enforcement requests, and enforce our Terms of Service.

We share data strictly with trusted service providers who assist us in operating HentaiKage — including Cloudflare for global edge delivery, caching, and DDoS mitigation; secure cloud database hosting; and contracted advertising networks. All service providers operate under binding data-processing agreements that restrict data usage solely to authorized technical functions.

We may also disclose information when legally compelled by valid subpoenas, court orders, or where necessary to defend the physical security, intellectual property, or legal rights of our platform and users.

Cookies and local storage technologies keep you authenticated, remember your volume and playback configurations, and support sustainable advertising on free tiers:

• ◆Essential Cookies: Required for secure authentication, CSRF token verification, and edge routing. The site cannot function properly without these.
• ◆Functional Storage: Saves your dark theme preference, preferred video stream resolution, subtitle toggles, and audio volume.
• ◆Advertising Cookies: Used by partner ad networks to cap how frequently you see the same ad and measure impression validity.

You can manage, restrict, or clear cookies at any time through your browser settings. Please note that disabling essential cookies will log you out and reset your saved video preferences.

We retain personal data only for as long as your account remains active or as required to fulfill the operational purposes outlined in this policy, after which it is irreversibly purged or anonymized.

We protect user data using industry-standard technical and organizational security controls:

• ◆Encryption in transit: All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is protected by modern TLS 1.3 encryption with strict HSTS policies.
• ◆Password protection: Passwords are never stored in plaintext; they are hashed using computationally intensive, salted algorithms (Argon2 / Bcrypt).
• ◆Access controls: Administrative database access is restricted according to the principle of least privilege and protected by multi-factor authentication.

Depending on your geographic location (including under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA)), you hold comprehensive rights over your personal data:

• ◆Right of Access & Portability: You may request an exported copy of all personal data we hold regarding your account.
• ◆Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”): You may request the permanent deletion of your account, watch history, and personal records.
• ◆Right to Rectification: You may correct or update inaccurate profile details directly in your account settings.
• ◆Right to Object & Opt-Out: You may object to data processing for advertising purposes or withdraw previously granted consent.
