Inclusion of forced arbitration in Terms of Service (2025)
[edit | edit source]On January 30, 2025, Crunchyroll emailed US users of its server about an update to its terms of service through email and notifications on login. There were two main updates to the terms of service - forced arbitration and a class action-lawsuit waiver, and an update to account usage guidelines. The messaging about these changes did not mention any means of opting out of these changes or give any warning - they are effective as soon as users click continue on the site or continue to use the service.
Data breach (2026)
[edit | edit source]In March 2026, the customer service platform was hacked and data from recent support tickets. The hacker claimed to take 8.8 million tickets and information from 6.8 million users. Data taken includes users' name, location, e-mail address, IP address, and credit card info (in some of the cases including the complete numbers of the cards). [1]
