This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, process, store, and safeguard your information when you visit our website at https://yoanime-online.netlify.app, participate in our real-time chat rooms, vote in Versus Arena battles, or interact with our editorial content.

2. Information We Collect

  • Account & Profile Data: When you create an account (via Google, Discord, or Email), we store your display name, username, email address, avatar, and community badge status.
  • Community Contributions: Chat room messages, emoji reactions, and Versus battle votes are processed securely to power real-time community interactions.
