Google Mobile Ads technologies may automatically collect or process certain information necessary to provide advertising, measure advertising performance, perform analytics, detect fraud and abuse, and operate advertising services.

7.External Websites and In-App Browser
Manga Tracker allows users to save third-party URLs and may allow those URLs to be opened through an in-app browser, WebView, or external browser.
Third-party websites are independent from Manga Tracker.
When you visit a third-party website, including when it is displayed inside Manga Tracker's in-app browser, that website may independently collect information from you through technologies such as:
- Cookies
- Website analytics
- Advertising technologies
- Tracking technologies
- Account logins
- Forms
- Device or browser information
Manga Tracker does not control the privacy practices of these third-party websites.
Information collected directly by a third-party website is governed by that website's own privacy policy and terms, not this Privacy Policy.
Opening a website inside Manga Tracker does not mean that Manga Tracker owns, operates, endorses, or controls that website.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of websites you visit.
8.Third-Party Service Providers
We may use third-party service providers to operate and support Manga Tracker.
These may include, depending on the current configuration of the Service:
- Google Firebase — authentication, cloud infrastructure, storage, database, and other backend functionality
- Google AdMob / Google Mobile Ads — advertising and related measurement, analytics, and fraud prevention
- RevenueCat — purchase validation, purchase history, entitlement management, and restoration of eligible purchases
- Sentry — crash reporting, error monitoring, diagnostics, and application performance troubleshooting
- Apple App Store — distribution and processing of eligible iOS purchases
- Google Play — distribution and processing of eligible Android purchases
These providers process information according to their respective roles, terms, privacy policies, and our configuration of their services.
We may also disclose information where reasonably necessary to comply with law, enforce our rights, investigate fraud or security incidents, or protect users and the Service.
9.How Long We Keep Information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide Manga Tracker, maintain user accounts and libraries, fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, comply with applicable legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and enforce our agreements.
Information associated with an active Manga Tracker account may therefore be retained while the account remains active or as necessary to provide the Service.
If you delete your account, information associated with your account will be deleted, anonymized, or otherwise handled according to our account-deletion process, subject to reasonable technical backup periods and any retention required or permitted by law.
Certain information maintained independently by third parties, such as Apple or Google purchase records, may remain subject to those providers' retention policies.
10.Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information processed through Manga Tracker.
Our infrastructure and service providers may use safeguards such as encrypted network connections, access controls, authentication, and other security measures.
However, no electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Manga Tracker account credentials and your device.
11.International Data Processing
Manga Tracker is available to users in multiple countries.
Our service providers may process or store information in countries other than the country where you live.
For example, cloud, authentication, advertising, diagnostic, and purchase-management providers may operate infrastructure in multiple jurisdictions.
Where required by applicable law, appropriate safeguards are used for international transfers of personal information.
12.Children's Privacy
Manga Tracker is not specifically directed to young children.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable children's privacy laws.
If you are below the age at which you may legally consent to the processing of your personal information in your jurisdiction, a parent or legal guardian may be required to authorize your use of the Service.
If you believe that a child has provided personal information to Manga Tracker in a manner that violates applicable law, please contact us so that we can review the situation and take appropriate action.
13.Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, applicable privacy law may provide you with rights concerning your personal information.
These may include the right to:
- Request access to personal information
- Request correction of inaccurate information
- Request deletion of personal information
- Request restriction of certain processing
- Object to certain processing
- Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent
- Request portability of certain information
- Appeal or complain to an applicable privacy authority
These rights are subject to applicable legal requirements and exceptions.
You may contact us to exercise an applicable privacy right.
14.Account and Data Deletion
Where available, you may delete your Manga Tracker account using the account-deletion functionality provided by the application.
You may also contact us regarding account or personal-data deletion.
Deleting your Manga Tracker account may permanently remove information associated with the account, including stored Manga Tracker library information, subject to applicable retention requirements and technical backup processes.
Deleting a Manga Tracker account does not necessarily delete purchase records maintained independently by Apple, Google, RevenueCat, or other transaction providers where those records must or may be retained under their own systems or applicable law.
A previously purchased Remove Ads entitlement may also remain associated with the relevant app-store purchase history for restoration purposes where supported.
15.Advertising and Privacy Choices
Depending on your country, device, operating system, and applicable law, you may have controls relating to advertising identifiers, personalized advertising, tracking, and consent.
You can also use device-level privacy settings made available by Apple, Google, or your device manufacturer.
Purchasing Remove Ads disables advertisements controlled by Manga Tracker in the eligible version of the application but does not necessarily stop processing that is independently required for purchase verification, security, account functionality, or other non-advertising purposes.
16.California and Other U.S. State Privacy Rights
Residents of California and certain other U.S. states may have additional rights under applicable state privacy laws.
Depending on whether the applicable law applies to Manga Tracker and your circumstances, these rights may include access, correction, deletion, portability, and rights relating to certain uses or disclosures of personal information.
Manga Tracker does not sell personal information for monetary payment.
Where applicable law defines “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising more broadly, rights and choices relating to advertising technologies will be provided as required by applicable law.
You may contact us regarding an applicable privacy request.
17.EEA, UK, and Similar Privacy Rights
Where the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), UK GDPR, or similar laws apply, we process personal information only where an appropriate legal basis exists.
Depending on the circumstances, these bases may include:
- Performance of our agreement with you, including providing Manga Tracker and your account
- Your consent
- Our legitimate interests, such as maintaining security, preventing fraud, troubleshooting, and improving the Service
- Compliance with legal obligations
Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw that consent subject to applicable law.
You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the data-protection authority responsible for your jurisdiction.
18.Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to Manga Tracker, our technology, third-party services, legal requirements, or our privacy practices.
When we update this Privacy Policy, we will change the “Last Updated” date shown at the beginning of the Policy.
Where required by applicable law, we will provide additional notice or request consent for material changes.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
