Legal notice
Otakudle (otakudle.com) is an anime-themed games website published on a personal basis. Contact: contact@otakudle.com.
Hosting: Vercel Inc., 340 S Lemon Ave #4133, Walnut, CA 91789, USA — vercel.com.
Personal data
Otakudle is played without an account: by default, the site collects no personal data. An optional sign-in (Google, Discord or a code sent by email) unlocks the collection and leaderboards; it then involves the storage described below.
- Local storage: your settings, today's game state and your win streak are stored in your browser only. They are never sent to a server.
- “streak” cookie: a technical cookie (13 months) mirrors your win streak so it survives a local-storage cleanup. It contains no identifier and is not used for tracking.
- Save code: transferring progress between devices uses a code you copy yourself; nothing goes through our servers.
If you create an account (optional)
Sign-in uses Google or Discord (OAuth), or a one-time code sent to your email address. We then store, with our processor Supabase: an account identifier and the email address of that sign-in, a username, and your server-side progress (daily scores, games in progress, training mastery, card collection, packs opened with in-game points). This data is used only to run the collection and leaderboards; only the username is public (on the leaderboards).
You can at any time export or permanently delete your account and all of this data from your “My account” page. Deletion is immediate and irreversible.
Advertising (Google AdSense)
This website may display ads served by Google AdSense. The Android app displays no ads. Google and its partners may use advertising cookies to personalise ads and measure their performance. Where required (e.g. in Europe), your consent is collected through a dedicated banner before any advertising cookie is set; you can change it at any time.

Third-party services
- Anime databases: game data comes from public community APIs (AniList, Jikan/MyAnimeList); visuals are served from our own storage (Cloudflare) and used for identification. Opening clips come from AnimeThemes.
- Vercel: the host produces technical logs (IP addresses, timestamps) required to operate and secure the service.
- Vercel Analytics: anonymous, aggregated audience measurement (pages viewed, country, device type). It uses no cookie, creates no advertising identifier and cannot track you across websites.
- Cloudflare: serves the images and audio files of the games; like any host, it processes IP addresses to deliver them.
- Resend: sends the sign-in email. If you sign in by email, your address is passed to this provider for that purpose only.
Android app
The Otakudle app for Android shows the same content as the website and follows the same rules: it is played without an account, and signing in is optional.
- Advertising: the app displays no ads and loads no advertising service.
- Sign-in: if you choose to sign in, the Google or Discord page opens in your phone's browser, then you are returned to the app. The data stored is the same as on the website (see above).
- Data on your device: settings, today's game state and your streak stay on your device. Some pages and files are kept for offline use.
- Permissions: the app only asks for internet access and vibration. It does not access your location, contacts, camera, microphone or files.
- Deleting your account: from the “My account” page, in the app or on the website. Deletion is immediate and irreversible.
Intellectual property
Otakudle is a fan-made project for fun, not affiliated with the studios, publishers or rights holders of the works mentioned. Titles, character names and visuals remain the property of their respective owners and are used for identification purposes. Any takedown request can be sent to contact@otakudle.com.
Deleting your account and data
- Open Otakudle, on the website or in the Android app, and sign in.
- Open the menu and go to “My account”.
- Under “My data”, select “Delete my account” and confirm.
Deletion is immediate and irreversible. It removes your account, the email address of your sign-in, your username, your scores and progress, your card collection and your pack history. Nothing is kept afterwards, apart from the host's technical logs, which are not linked to your account. If you cannot sign in, write to contact@otakudle.com from the address of your account and we will delete it for you.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you have rights of access, rectification and erasure. Without an account, everything is managed in your browser (clearing site data). With an account, you can export and permanently delete all your data from the “My account” page. Any question: contact@otakudle.com.
