Privacy Policy

How Manga Insyte (mangainsyte.com) collects, uses, and protects your information.

Overview

Manga Insyte ("we", "us", or "our") operates mangainsyte.com and related services that help physical manga collectors catalog owned volumes, track reading progress, scan covers and spines, and organize virtual bookshelves. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1. Information we collect

We may collect and process the following types of information:

Account information such as your name, email address, and authentication details
Collection data you choose to store, including owned volumes, copies, read status, notes, wishlists, and lending records
Photos and scans you upload, including cover crops, spine images, and optional completion-memory photos
Reading activity you log, such as queue items, sessions, milestones, and journal entries
Integration data when you connect third-party services (for example AniList, MyAnimeList, or Notion)
Usage data such as pages visited, features used, and general product analytics
Cookies and similar technologies that help us operate sessions, remember preferences, and improve the service

2. How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

Provide, operate, and maintain Manga Insyte
Authenticate users and secure accounts
Store and display your collection, scans, bookshelves, and reading companion data
Process optional imports and exports you request through connected integrations
Improve product features, reliability, and user experience
Communicate service-related notices and respond to support requests
Process subscriptions and billing when you purchase Pro features
Comply with legal obligations

3. Sharing your information

We do not sell your personal data. We may share information with trusted service providers that help us operate the product—such as hosting, authentication, database, file storage, analytics, and payment processing—when required by law, or with your consent. For example, if you connect a third-party integration, we exchange only the data needed to perform the import or export you request.

4. Public library sharing

If you enable public library sharing, selected collection information may be visible to others through your public page at mangainsyte.com. Spending totals and wishlist data remain hidden on public pages unless you choose to share them elsewhere. Shareable edition journeys and similar features only expose what you explicitly publish.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences such as theme and language, and understand how the product is used. You can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies, though some features may not work correctly without them.

6. Data security

We use industry-standard safeguards to protect your information, including access controls for user-uploaded scans and other private media. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to reduce unauthorized access, disclosure, or loss.

7. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

Access the personal data we hold about you
Request correction or deletion of your data
Withdraw consent where applicable
Object to or restrict certain processing

To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

8. Children's privacy

Manga Insyte is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

9. Third-party links and catalog content

Our catalog may include metadata and cover images sourced from third-party databases and may link to external sites. Those third parties have their own privacy practices, and we are not responsible for their policies or content.

10. Policy updates

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Continued use of Manga Insyte after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised policy where permitted by law.
