Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 20, 2026 · Applies to the LimeShort website and app

Copyright: Content on the Service is provided by LimeShort and its content partners, or licensed to LimeShort. If any content infringes your rights, please contact us at limeshort.mail@gmail.com and we will remove it promptly. See Section 12.

1. Scope of This Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how LimeShort ("we", "us" or "our") collects, uses, shares and protects information when you use the LimeShort website at www.limeshort.net and its subdomains (the "Site"), the LimeShort mobile application (the "App"), and the services and features offered through them (together, the "Service").

By using the Service you confirm that you have read and understood this Policy. If you do not agree with it, please do not use the Service. This Policy should be read together with our Terms of Service.

2. Summary

You can browse much of the Service without an account. If you create an account we store your email address, a password hash if you set a password, your nickname and avatar, and your viewing history so that we can keep your progress in sync. We use cookies and similar technologies for basic operation and to measure and personalise what we show you. We do not sell your personal information.

3. Information We Collect

3.1 Information you give us

  • Account data: your email address, a verification code you request, a password (stored only as a one-way hash), your nickname, avatar and, if you use one, your invite code.
  • Profile and preferences: your interface language, subtitle language, playback preferences and notification settings.
  • Content you post: comments, danmaku, likes, follows, saved titles and any images or text you upload.
  • Support communications: the content of messages you send us, including infringement notices.

3.2 Information collected automatically

  • Device and technical data: device type and model, operating system and version, app version, browser type, language, screen size and a randomly generated device identifier.
  • Usage data: pages and titles viewed, episodes played, watch duration and progress, searches, taps and the times of these activities.
  • Network data: IP address and general location derived from it (usually at country or city level), and the network type you are using.

3.3 Information from third parties

If you sign in with a third-party account such as Google, we receive a limited set of data from that provider, typically a unique account identifier, your email address, your name and your profile picture. We use this only to create and secure your LimeShort account. The third party's handling of your data is governed by its own privacy policy.

4. How We Use Your Information

  • create and manage your account, and sign you in;
  • provide, operate and maintain the Service, and keep your viewing progress in sync across sessions;
  • personalise recommendations, rankings and the language of subtitles and interface;
  • respond to your questions, feedback and infringement notices;
  • understand how the Service is used so that we can improve it, and detect, prevent and fix errors, abuse, fraud and security incidents;
  • send you service messages, and — where permitted and with any consent required by law — promotional messages you can opt out of at any time;
  • measure and improve advertising, and comply with our legal obligations.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies, local storage and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember your language and playback preferences, and measure aggregate usage. You can control or delete cookies through your browser or device settings; some features may not work properly if you disable them.

6. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service providers that help us run the Service, such as hosting, content delivery, email delivery, analytics and customer support providers, under contracts that limit their use of the data to providing those services to us;
  • Advertising partners, where advertising is shown, in the form of aggregated or device-level data used to serve and measure ads, subject to any consent required by law;
  • Legal and safety: where we believe in good faith that disclosure is required by law, regulation or legal process, or is necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of LimeShort, our users or the public;
  • Business transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganisation or sale of assets, in which case we will require the recipient to honour this Policy.

7. International Transfers

We operate internationally, so your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than the one in which you live. Where required, we put appropriate safeguards in place for such transfers, such as standard contractual clauses approved by the relevant authority.

8. Data Retention

We keep personal information for as long as your account is active, and afterwards only for as long as we need it to meet the purposes described in this Policy, to comply with legal obligations, to resolve disputes and to enforce our agreements. Viewing history and similar activity data are normally deleted or anonymised within 24 months of inactivity.

9. Security

We use technical and organisational measures designed to protect your information, including encryption in transit, hashed passwords and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please keep your credentials confidential, and tell us promptly if you suspect unauthorised access to your account.

10. Children's Privacy

The Service is intended for users who are at least 18 years old, or the age of majority in their place of residence, and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under 16 where required by local law). If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

11. Your Privacy Rights

11.1 If you are in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland

We process your personal data on the following legal bases: performance of our contract with you (providing the Service and your account), our legitimate interests (improving and securing the Service, and preventing abuse), your consent (where we ask for it, for example for personalised advertising or marketing messages), and compliance with legal obligations. You have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict processing of your data, to object to processing based on legitimate interests, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.

11.2 If you are a California resident

You have the right to know what categories of personal information we collect, the sources, the business purposes and the categories of third parties to whom we disclose it; to request deletion or correction; to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information (we do not sell personal information); and not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights.

11.3 Other regions

Depending on where you live, you may have similar rights under local law. To exercise any right, email limeshort.mail@gmail.com. We may need to verify your identity before acting on your request, and we aim to respond within 30 days.

12. Content Sources and Takedown Requests

If you believe that content on the Service infringes your rights, notify us at limeshort.mail@gmail.com with the details listed below and we will review and remove it promptly.

If you are a rights holder and believe that content indexed or displayed through the Service infringes your rights, email limeshort.mail@gmail.com with the subject "Infringement Notice" and the details listed in Section 7 of our Terms of Service.

Notices may contain personal information such as your name and contact details; we use that information only to handle your request, and it will be retained in line with Section 8.

13. Third-Party Sign-In and External Links

The Service allows sign-in through third-party providers and may link to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage you to read their privacy policies before using them.

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page, and where the changes are material we will provide reasonable notice, for example by email or in the App.

15. Contact Us
