Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026.

Summary

AVBase does not require user accounts and does not collect personal information directly. We utilize Google Analytics and third-party ad networks, which may set cookies or read identifiers to serve and measure advertisements. This page explains what runs in your browser.

1. Data we handle directly

• No Registration. We do not offer user registration or collect emails, names, or addresses.
• Server Logs. Our server records standard request metadata (IP address, user-agent, requested path, response status) for security monitoring and operational debugging. Logs are retained for a maximum of 30 days.
• Local Storage. AVBase stores a small amount of state in your browser's localStorage:
  • Search history (last 10 queries) — used solely for search typeahead suggestions.
  • Theme preference (light, dark, or system).
  These values never leave your device. Clearing site data in your browser erases them.

2. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to measure aggregate traffic (page views, referrers, approximate geography, and device class). GA4 is configured with IP anonymization enabled and Google signals disabled. This data is used solely to optimize features and guide development.

• Google Analytics sets first-party cookies (e.g., _ga) on this domain.
• See Google’s privacy policy for how Google processes data.
• Opt out via the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, browser content blockers, or OS-level privacy settings.

3. Third-party advertising

AVBase displays advertisements served by third-party ad networks. These networks act as independent data controllers, processing identifiers according to their respective privacy policies.

• Ad Providers in Use. ExoClick and AdSterra (placements are loaded dynamically; their respective policies govern the cookies and identifiers they set).
• Data Collection. Ad networks may collect your IP address, user-agent, referrer, approximate location (country level), device class, and browser advertising identifiers. This data is processed for ad targeting, frequency capping, fraud prevention, and performance reporting.
• Cookies & Storage. Ad networks may set or read cookies and localStorage entries under their own domains.
• Opting Out. Use a content blocker, browser tracking protections, or OS-level ad tracking restrictions. Users in the EU, UK, and California have rights under the GDPR, UK GDPR, and CCPA/CPRA, respectively, and can exercise them directly on each provider's policy page.

4. Server-to-server requests

When you load a search or detail page, our server retrieves the page from sukebei.nyaa.si on your behalf and returns the parsed metadata. The upstream request is executed by our infrastructure; the upstream indexer sees our server IP, not your client IP.

5. Children

AVBase indexes adult content. You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to access this service. By using this site, you confirm you meet this requirement. AVBase does not operate an active age-verification system; access compliance is the visitor’s responsibility. Because AVBase stores no user accounts or persistent data, individual usage cannot be tracked or audited retrospectively.

6. Your rights

Since AVBase does not require user accounts or collect personal data directly, we do not store information that can be exported or deleted upon request. However, Google Analytics and the ad networks act as independent data controllers and may hold data subject to the GDPR, UK GDPR, or CCPA/CPRA. To exercise your rights, utilize the opt-out methods above or contact these providers directly.

7. Changes

This policy may be updated as analytics or ad providers change. Material changes will be indicated by updating the revision date above.

8. Contact

Because AVBase does not maintain user accounts, there is no on-site contact form for privacy inquiries.
