Who we are
TotalWaifu (totalwaifu.com) is a catalog of waifu trading cards. Write to privacy@totalwaifu.com about anything on this page.
What we keep
Visits. A count of views per set, series and card, per day and country. It holds no address, device or other detail about who looked.
Your IP address is used for a few minutes, in memory, to stop abuse such as floods of fake views. We don't store it. Our host keeps standard request logs (address, browser, page) for a short time for security and fixing faults.
Cookies
Each one is needed for the site to work or remembers a choice you made, so there is no cookie banner.

Why we use it
Rate limits, request logs and view counts serve our interest in keeping the site safe and knowing which records people look at. None of them keeps personal data beyond the host's short-lived logs.
We make no automated decisions about you.
Who handles it for us
Vercel hosts the site, stores the images and keeps the request logs. Neon runs the database.
They process data in the United States. Transfers from the EU, the UK and elsewhere rely on the safeguards in their data processing terms.
Your rights
You can ask what we hold about you, and object to how we use it. Write to privacy@totalwaifu.com.
