The personal information that you are asked to provide, and the reasons why you are asked to provide it, will be made clear to you at the point we ask you to provide your personal information.
If you contact us directly, we may receive additional information about you such as your name, email address, phone number, the contents of the message and/or attachments you may send us, and any other information you may choose to provide. When you register for an account, we may ask for your contact information, including items such as name, company name, address, email address, and telephone number.
2. Cookies and Web Beacons
Like any other website, Otaku Realm uses 'cookies'. These cookies are used to store information including visitors' preferences, and the pages on the website that the visitor accessed or visited. The information is used to optimize the users' experience by customizing our web page content based on visitors' browser type and/or other information.
Cookies help us manage session persistence, recognize you when you return to our website, and maintain your custom theme preferences (such as saving whether you prefer our site rendered in light mode or dark mode).

If you choose to register an account on Otaku Realm, we collect and store your email address, chosen username, and watchlist preferences in our cloud database, which is hosted securely using Firebase services.
We use secure, industry-standard authentication methods to protect your login credentials. Your password is encrypted and is never visible to our team. We use your stored account details solely to synchronize your personal watchlist and coordinate user comments across different devices.
