Privacy Policy

ManhwaVault is designed with privacy-by-default principles. To provide our reading progress tracker, chapter log, and tier list creator, we utilize Client-Side Local Storage (localStorage):

• Your custom reading list, bookmarked titles, and read chapter status.
• Your personal ratings and custom tier list configurations.
• Theme and visual preferences.

This data never leaves your personal device and is not sold, transmitted, or synchronized with centralized database servers unless you explicitly choose to export it.

ManhwaVault works with Google AdSense to serve relevant advertisements. Google and its advertising partners use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to our website or other websites on the internet:

Like most standard websites, we utilize basic server logs and privacy-preserving Vercel Analytics. These logs collect standard information including internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamps, referring/exit pages, and number of clicks. These are not linked to any personally identifiable information and are strictly used to analyze traffic trends, maintain server security, and optimize performance.

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), users are entitled to:

• The right to request disclosure of personal data categories collected.
• The right to request erasure of any personal data stored.
• The right to opt-out of the sale of personal data (ManhwaVault does not sell personal data).
• The right not to be discriminated against for exercising privacy rights.

If you have questions, feedback, or data privacy requests, please reach out directly through our Contact Desk or via email at privacy@manhwavault.online.
