Privacy without
the theatre.

KIRU is an anime tracker and discovery service with optional account sync. This notice explains what stays in your browser, what saves to your account and the choices you control.

Your tracker starts immediately.

KIRU works without an account. If you create an email-and-password account, tracking, profile, preferences and taste setup save to your private KIRU account automatically. Unique records combine safely; KIRU asks you only when the same title changed in two places. Confirmation, recovery and optional one-time sign-in emails are sent only when requested. Public community contributions are account-backed and separate from private tracker records.

Works before sign-in

Personal tracking and preference data saves on the current device immediately. Without an account, KIRU cannot recover it if you clear that device without a backup.

Automatic account saving

After sign-in, KIRU’s secure account service stores your account identity and user-owned tracking data. Private ownership rules limit each signed-in account to its own records.

What can leave this device

Some title searches and artwork requests may contact an external catalogue or media host. KIRU does not send your account email, tracker history, notes or community text with those requests.

Hosting data

The hosting and sign-in layer may process an IP address, device details and necessary authentication cookies to serve and protect KIRU.

Aggregate website measurement

KIRU counts visits, page views and performance signals without analytics cookies or individual visitor profiles. Account email, tracker contents, searches and community text are not included.

Data controls

Settings lets you download device and account JSON exports, sign out, clear artwork caches and erase KIRU data from the current device. Device erasure is immediate and does not silently erase a connected account. Account deletion is a separate reviewed request.

Consent

KIRU does not display an analytics-cookie banner because its current audience measurement uses no analytics cookies and does not build individual visitor profiles. Advertising and other optional cookie categories remain inactive. Any future optional processing must remain off until a visitor makes a real choice.

Contact

For support, privacy questions, account concerns or abuse reports, use the monitored KIRU contact email. A public personal name is not displayed.

Use KIRU as an anime tracker and guide.

KIRU provides tracking, discovery and optional account sync. The website does not currently offer a paid subscription or checkout.

Catalogue limits. The 41,483-title index is a static snapshot dated 4 July 2026. Source metadata may be incomplete and current ratings can change.
Recommendation limits. Scores are local ranking signals based on recorded evidence. They are not scientific probabilities or guarantees that a person will enjoy a title.
External services. Artwork, trailers and optional outbound destinations have their own terms and availability. KIRU does not host anime video.
Your responsibility. Keep a backup, use lawful services and do not enter sensitive personal information in tracker notes or public community posts.
Changes. Features and data structures may change. Material changes to this notice will be dated and explained.

KIRU is not an anime streaming service and does not host video. Availability, metadata and links from third parties can change.

Account-backed discussion on the public KIRU service.

KIRU Community can serve real public discussions and member profiles. Guests may read. A verified account is required to post, reply, react, follow or report. Private tracker actions are not published to the global community by default.

Built now

Forum reading and contribution, spoiler scopes, drafts, reactions, follows, blocks, mutes, reports, appeals and audited moderator controls.

Protected by default

Guest reading is open; contribution requires a verified account. User-generated routes remain outside Google until they pass a separate quality review.

Owned and monitored

Moderation and incident-response responsibility is assigned internally. Support, privacy and abuse reports go through the monitored KIRU contact email.

Continuing review

KIRU’s implementation audit, backup rehearsal and owner iPhone checks are recorded. Professional legal and online-safety review plus broader cross-platform assistive-technology testing remain outstanding launch risks.

Clear choices, without the technical clutter.

Browse freely: Explore the catalogue without creating an account.
Track locally: Start a watchlist on this device before you sign in.
Connect an account: Choose password sign-in when you want private sync, recovery, account export or deletion controls.
Private measurement: Audience totals and performance are measured without analytics cookies or individual visitor profiles.
External destinations: Viewing services open only after your deliberate action and do not receive the KIRU page address as a referrer.

KIRU uses encrypted connections and keeps private tracker data separate from public community activity.
