Effective date: October 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how MyReadingManga (“we”, “us” or “our”) collects, uses and protects information when you visit our website and read our content. We have tried to keep it clear and readable. By using the site, you acknowledge the practices described here. If you do not agree with them, please stop using the site.
Information We Collect
Information You Give Us
You can read the library and blog without creating an account. We only receive personal information from you when you choose to share it — for example, when you email us, submit a correction request or send a copyright notice. This may include your name, email address and anything you write in your message.
Information Collected Automatically
When you visit the site, certain technical information is collected automatically by our servers and by the tools we use. This may include:
- Your IP address (which may be shortened or anonymised where possible)
- Browser type, device type, operating system and screen size
- Pages you visit, the time spent on them and the page that referred you
- Approximate location derived from your IP address, such as country or region
- Date and time of your visit and basic error logs
How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Operate, maintain and secure the website
- Understand which pages and features are useful so we can improve them
- Respond to your messages, support requests and correction requests
- Process copyright notices and other legal requests
- Display advertising that helps keep the site free to use
- Detect and prevent abuse, fraud, spam and security incidents
- Comply with legal obligations
Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR)
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, we rely on the following legal bases: your consent (for example, for non-essential cookies and personalised advertising), our legitimate interests (such as keeping the site secure and understanding how it is used), and legal obligations (such as responding to valid legal requests). You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting processing that took place before.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We and our partners use cookies and similar technologies for several purposes:
- Essential cookies that make the site work, remember your cookie choices and help protect against abuse.
- Analytics cookies that help us understand how visitors use the site.
- Advertising cookies that help deliver, measure and, where permitted, personalise ads.
Where required by law, we ask for your consent before setting non-essential cookies. You can change your choices through our cookie banner or settings, and you can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect how parts of the site work.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, to understand how visitors find and use the site — for example, which pages are popular and which devices people use. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect usage information, which is processed by Google in line with its own privacy policy. We use this information in aggregate and do not use it to identify you personally. You can learn how Google uses data at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and you can opt out using the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Advertising
The site may display advertisements provided by third-party advertising partners, such as Google. These partners may use cookies, web beacons and similar technologies to serve ads based on your visits to this and other websites, to limit how often you see an ad and to measure ad performance. Where required, personalised advertising is only used with your consent.
You can manage personalised advertising from Google through Google’s Ad Settings, and you can learn about opting out of interest-based advertising from many companies through industry tools such as YourAdChoices (in the United States) or Your Online Choices (in Europe).
Third-Party Services and Links
We work with service providers that help us run the site, including hosting, content delivery, security, analytics and advertising providers. They process information on our behalf or as independent controllers under their own policies. Our articles may also link to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites, and we encourage you to read their policies.
How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information for money. We may share information with service providers as described above, when required by law or to protect our rights and the safety of users, and in connection with a merger, sale or transfer of the site, in which case this policy would continue to apply to your information.
Data Retention
We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy, such as answering your message or meeting legal obligations. Analytics data is retained according to the settings of our analytics provider. When information is no longer needed, we delete or anonymise it.
International Transfers
Our service providers may process information in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as standard contractual clauses, to protect information transferred internationally.
Your Privacy Rights
GDPR and UK GDPR
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access the personal information we hold about you, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to its processing, request a copy in a portable format and withdraw consent. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
California (CCPA/CPRA)
If you are a California resident, you may have the right to know what personal information we collect and how it is used and disclosed, to request deletion or correction, and to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising. Some advertising cookies may be considered “sharing” under California law; you can opt out through our cookie settings or by enabling a recognised opt-out signal such as Global Privacy Control. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your request before acting on it.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS). No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children’s Privacy
The site is not directed to children under 13, or under 16 where local law sets a higher age, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology or legal requirements. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. Significant changes may also be highlighted on the site.
