Prime Video vs Crunchyroll

Amazon collects information you provide, data from your device and browser, and data from other sources. In practice, this can include detailed viewing, usage, and technical data tied to your account.

The notice allows interest-based ads and use of advertising identifiers, including cookies and device identifiers. Even though Amazon says it does not share directly identifying info for ad targeting, it still supports cross-context ad personalization.

Amazon says blocking cookies or identifiers can disable essential functions like checkout and sign-in. That means privacy-conscious users may have to trade off functionality to limit tracking.

The service provider and governing documents depend on your country and access method, so the rules you get may differ by location. That makes it important to check the local terms before subscribing or buying content.

Amazon says it does not sell customers' personal information. That is a meaningful privacy benefit compared with services that monetize user data through outright sales.

You can access certain personal information in the Your Account area, including payment settings and Prime membership details. This gives users a meaningful way to review what Amazon holds about them.

Users can adjust communication preferences, ad preferences, and some cookie/device settings. These controls may reduce tracking or outreach, though some features may stop working if cookies are disabled.

Prime Video is not the only set of terms in play; other Amazon services and Prime benefits are governed by separate documents. If you use bundled benefits, you may be subject to additional rules without leaving the Prime Video ecosystem.

Amazon says it uses encryption, PCI DSS for card data, and physical/electronic/procedural safeguards. This is a positive security baseline, though it does not eliminate all risk.

Users under 18 may use Amazon services only with a parent or guardian, and children's data is addressed separately. This signals some age-related privacy handling, though the rules are still Amazon-wide rather than Prime Video-specific.

Most disputes must go through binding arbitration instead of court, and the terms also waive class actions and jury trials for many disputes. This can make it harder and more costly for users to bring claims.

Users cannot lead or participate in a class action for covered disputes. That limits collective pressure and can make small individual claims impractical to pursue.

Subscriptions renew automatically and your saved payment method is charged unless you cancel before the renewal date. This creates a risk of unexpected recurring charges if you miss the deadline.

Crunchyroll says it may suspend or terminate access for any reason or no reason, with or without notice. If termination is based on your breach, you may lose prepaid fees without a refund.

Digital content is licensed, not sold, and access ends when the subscription ends or content is removed. Users should not expect permanent access even after paying.

The privacy policy says Crunchyroll uses cookies and similar technologies for personalization and interest-based ads, and may share data with third parties for advertising purposes. That means viewing and device activity can be used to target ads.

Crunchyroll collects account details, payment data, usage history, device identifiers, IP address, and location-related data. This is a fairly expansive data profile for a streaming service.

Anything you post as user-generated content can be publicly disclosed, including through social features. Users should avoid posting anything they would not want broadly visible.

EU residents get a 14-day cancellation right with a prorated refund. That is a meaningful consumer protection if you sign up and change your mind quickly.

The privacy policy says users may have rights to access, correct, delete, object, or withdraw consent, especially for direct marketing. These rights can help users control their personal data where local law applies.

Account use is limited to the immediate household, and unauthorized sharing is a material breach. This is important for users who might want to share access outside one home.

SPE says it does not use automated decision-making with legal or similarly significant effects without human involvement. That reduces concern about fully automated high-stakes decisions.
