Children's Privacy

Hikka Forge is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 13 (or under 16 in certain jurisdictions within the EU). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children. If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to remove that information from our servers.

What does this privacy policy cover?

This privacy policy describes how Hikka Forge will make use of your information in the context of our browser extension, which is designed to enhance the user experience on hikka.io through interface modifications and personalized recommendations. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data transparently.

What information does Hikka Forge collect about me?

We collect and process specific categories of data necessary to provide the extension's functionality:

• Authentication Data: When you explicitly authorize Hikka Forge via OAuth, we collect a locally issued access token generated by our backend service, along with your Hikka User ID, username, avatar URL, and user role.
• Service Data: To generate personalized recommendations via our Machine Learning algorithms, our backend server retrieves and stores copies of your anime/manga/novel lists (including Plan to Watch, Completed, and Dropped lists) and your specific ratings for titles.
• Configuration: We store your extension settings (enabled modules, theme colors, font preferences) in your browser's local synchronization storage.
• Error Logs: We collect anonymous error logs regarding failed API requests to assist in debugging; these are not linked to your personal identity.

What is the legal basis for processing my data?

Under the GDPR, we process your personal data based on the following legal grounds:

1. Performance of a Contract: Processing your User ID, tokens, and lists to deliver core features like profile display and recommendations.
2. Legitimate Interests: Processing aggregated ratings and list data to train and refine our recommendation algorithms for all users.

How does Hikka Forge use my information?

We use the collected information solely to provide and improve the Hikka Forge service. Specifically, we use your data to authenticate requests to the Hikka API, synchronize interface settings, and suggest relevant content.

• We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal identification information to third parties.
• We do not use your data for advertising, retargeting, or creditworthiness assessments.

Where and for how long is my data stored?

Your authentication tokens and visual settings are stored locally on your device. Your user profile data and synchronized lists are stored on our secure backend servers located in Lithuania (European Union).

We retain your personal data indefinitely to ensure your settings are available whenever you return, unless you explicitly request deletion or uninstall the extension.

Does Hikka Forge disclose my information to third parties?

Our extension interacts with hikka.io (hosted in Ukraine) to retrieve the content you authorized us to access. We also utilize:

• Cloudflare: To protect our infrastructure and optimize delivery.
• EU Hosting Providers: Secure providers in the EU act as data processors and are bound by confidentiality obligations.

What are my data protection rights?

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the right to:

• Request access to your data.
• Request correction of inaccuracies.
• Request erasure ("right to be forgotten").
• Restrict or object to processing.
• Data portability.

To exercise these rights, please contact lorgon.kv+support@gmail.com.

How is my personal information secured?

We implement appropriate technical measures to protect your data. All data transmission between the extension, our servers, and hikka.io occurs over a secure HTTPS connection.

Will this privacy policy change?

We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices. The date at the top indicates the most recent update.
