Privacy Policy

Welcome to Mangzio. We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website.

When you visit our site, we automatically collect certain information including your IP address, browser type and version, pages visited, time and date of visit, and other diagnostic data. We use cookies to store your reading preferences, bookmarks, and session data. Reading history and bookmarks are stored locally on your device.

We also collect information you provide directly, such as contact form submissions, DMCA takedown requests, and chapter report submissions.

We use the information we collect to provide, operate, and maintain our website and reading service; improve, personalize, and expand our service; understand and analyze usage patterns; detect, prevent, and address technical issues or abuse; respond to DMCA notices and legal requests; and send service notifications if you have subscribed.

Mangzio uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. We use essential cookies required for the site to function (session management, admin authentication), preference cookies that remember your language preference, reading settings, and bookmarks, and analytics cookies via Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our site using anonymized data. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect site functionality.

We use third-party services that may collect information: Google Analytics for website traffic analysis, Cloudflare for CDN and security services, and the MangaUpdates API for manga metadata (no personal data is shared).

We retain your data only as long as necessary for the purposes outlined in this policy. Log data is typically retained for 30 days. Contact form submissions are retained for up to 1 year. You may request deletion of your data at any time.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, rectify, erase, or port your personal data, as well as the right to object to processing. EU/EEA users have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). To exercise any of these rights, contact us through our Contact page.

Our service is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately.

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the new policy on this page with an updated date. Continued use of our service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
