Cartoonly

Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 7, 2025

Welcome to Cartoonly ("Cartoonly," "we," "our," or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using Cartoonly (the "Website" and related apps), you agree to this Policy.

1) Information We Collect

Account & Subscription Info

If you create or upgrade an account through a third-party payment or membership provider (e.g., Patreon/Stripe/PayPal, depending on what we enable), we receive limited details such as your email, subscription status, and plan so we can grant access.

We do not collect or store full payment card details. Those are handled by the provider you choose.

Usage & Analytics

We use analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) to collect non-identifying data like page views, approximate location (based on IP), device/browser type, and on-site interactions. We use this to improve performance and features.

Device & Log Data

Our servers may record standard logs (IP address, user-agent, referrer, timestamps, error logs) for security, abuse prevention, and debugging.

Local Storage (on your device)

To power features like Favorites, Watchlist, recently watched, and viewing preferences, we store data in your browser (e.g., localStorage, IndexedDB, cookies). You can clear this anytime via your browser settings.

Contact & Support

If you email us or submit a form, we collect the information you provide (e.g., name, email, message) to respond.

2) How We Use Your Information

  • Provide and manage access to Cartoonly (including premium access).
  • Remember your preferences (e.g., favorites, watchlist).
  • Monitor performance, analyze usage, and improve the Website and apps.
  • Detect, prevent, and respond to fraud, abuse, or security incidents.
  • Communicate service notices (e.g., changes to features or policies).

We do not sell your personal information.

3) Third-Party Services & Content

Membership/Payments: Managed by third-party providers (e.g., Patreon/Stripe/PayPal). Their privacy policies govern any information you give them.

Analytics: Google Analytics helps us understand traffic and usage. You can opt out with Google's opt-out tools and ad settings.

Content & Streaming Providers: Some features load data or media from third parties such as TMDB (metadata), YouTube (trailers), and Vidsrc/other embedders (streaming). These services may set their own cookies or collect data per their policies.

CDN & Hosting: We may use content delivery and hosting providers to serve assets quickly and securely.

4) Cookies, Local Storage & PWA Caching

We and our providers use cookies and similar technologies for essential functionality, analytics, and to remember your settings.

Our Progressive Web App (PWA) and Service Worker may cache images, scripts, and certain API responses for faster load times and limited offline use.

You can control cookies in your browser settings and clear cached data (including PWA caches) at any time.

5) Advertisements & External Links

We may display third-party ads or link to external sites. These are independent from Cartoonly; interacting with them is subject to their terms and privacy practices.

Be cautious with promotions that request personal data or software downloads—we do not control third-party content.

Where required, we use a consent banner that lets you choose whether to allow cookies for ads and analytics. If you reject, we won’t use non-essential cookies and ads may not personalize.

6) Data Security & Retention

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect data. No system is 100% secure.

Emails, subscription status, and support messages (if any) are retained as long as needed for service, legal, or security reasons, then deleted or anonymized.

Account deletion: If your membership is managed by a third-party provider, request cancellation/deletion through that provider; we'll receive the update and remove related access on our side. You may also contact us to request deletion of any information we directly control.

7) Third-Party Content & Copyright

Cartoonly does not host or store copyrighted videos. Streaming and trailers may be embedded from external providers.

We are not responsible for the content, availability, or policies of third-party services. Copyright concerns about embedded media should be addressed to the original hosting provider.

7.1) Google Advertising Disclosure

We may use Google advertising services. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies or device identifiers to serve ads based on your visits to this and/or other sites. Where required, we obtain your consent before using such cookies.

You can learn more about how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services here: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

You can manage your ad personalization settings via Google’s Ads Settings or your device settings. If you decline consent in our banner, we will not use non-essential cookies for ads or analytics.

8) Your Choices & Rights

Your options may vary by region (e.g., GDPR/UK GDPR/CCPA/CPRA):

  • Access, correct, or delete information we control about you.
  • Opt out of Google Analytics using Google's tools and your ad settings.
  • Control cookies and local storage via your browser.
  • Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise rights or make a request, contact us (see Contact Us below).

9) Children's Privacy

Cartoonly is intended for general audiences. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

If we identify child-directed content or users under applicable age thresholds, we will not use personalized advertising and will apply appropriate limitations (e.g., limited ads treatment).

10) Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated policy.
