Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 2, 2026

MangaDownloader is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use our website and related services. By using MangaDownloader, you agree to the terms outlined below.

  1. Information We Collect

    1. User-Provided Information

      • Manga URLs & Chapter Selections: When you use the Service to fetch or download content, we process the manga or webtoon page URL you submit and your selected chapter range in real time. We do not store, log, or share these inputs.
      • Contact & Support: If you contact us (for example, for support or feedback), we may receive basic information such as your email address and any details you choose to provide in your message.
      • Account & Profile Information: If you create an account, we receive basic profile data from our authentication provider, Auth0 (e.g., your name, email address, and profile picture from the sign-in method you choose). If you edit your profile on the site, your updated display name and profile picture are stored in your Auth0 user profile. Uploaded profile pictures are resized in your browser before being saved.

    2. Automatically Collected Information

      • Log Data: We collect non-personal data (e.g., IP address, browser type, timestamps) for analytics and security purposes.

  2. How We Use Your Information

    • To provide and improve the Service (e.g., parsing chapter pages, downloading images, and generating CBZ files).
    • To analyze aggregated, anonymized trends (e.g., platform usage statistics and performance).
    • To communicate with you (e.g., respond to support requests, send important service or security alerts).
    • To operate your account and display your profile (e.g., showing your display name and profile picture in the navigation bar and on your Profile page).

  3. Data Storage & Retention

    • URLs & Chapter Selections: Submitted manga URLs and chapter ranges are processed in real time and are not stored on our servers once the operation is complete.
    • Logs: Non-personal data (e.g., IP addresses) is anonymized or deleted after 30 days.
    • Account & Profile Data: Your account information and any profile edits (display name, profile picture) are stored by our authentication provider, Auth0, for as long as your account exists. Profile pictures you upload are stored as part of your Auth0 user profile — not on our own servers. A copy of your profile may be cached in your browser's local storage for a faster experience; it is removed when you log out or clear your browser data.

  4. Third-Party Services

    • Authentication (Auth0): We use Auth0 (an Okta company) to handle sign-up, login, and storage of your account and profile information (including profile edits you make on the site). Auth0 processes this data under its own privacy practices — see the Okta Privacy Policy.
    • Hosting & Infrastructure: Our Service may use third-party hosting or infrastructure providers to operate the website and process requests. Their privacy practices are governed by their own privacy policies.
    • Source Websites: MangaDownloader parses publicly accessible pages (e.g., manga, manhwa, manhua, or webtoon sites) only when you provide a URL. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by these third-party platforms, and their own terms of service and privacy policies apply to your use of their sites.

  5. Microsoft Clarity

    We partner with Microsoft Clarity and Microsoft Advertising to capture how you use and interact with our website through behavioral metrics, heatmaps, and session replay to improve and market our products/services. Website usage data is captured using first and third-party cookies and other tracking technologies to determine the popularity of products/services and online activity. Additionally, we use this information for site optimization, fraud/security purposes, and advertising. For more information about how Microsoft collects and uses your data, visit the Microsoft Privacy Statement

  6. Your Rights

    • GDPR/CCPA Compliance: Users in the EU or California may exercise additional rights (e.g., access, deletion, data portability) in accordance with applicable law.
    • Profile Control: You can view and update your display name and profile picture at any time from your Profile page. To request deletion of your account and associated profile data, please contact us.

  7. Security Measures

    • All data is transmitted via HTTPS/SSL encryption.
    • Servers are secured with firewalls and regular vulnerability scans.
    • No Guarantees: While we take reasonable precautions, no online service is 100% secure.

  8. Children’s Privacy

    MangaDownloader is not intended for users under 13 years old. We do not knowingly collect data from minors.

  9. Policy Changes

    We may update this Privacy Policy. Continued use of the Service after revisions constitutes acceptance.

  10. Contact Us
