Privacy policy

You can read everything without signing up. In that case nothing about you is stored on our side: your settings sit in a cookie and your history in your browser's storage (see On your device). The hosting provider keeps short technical logs of requests, like any website.

• Sign-in details: your email address and your password. The password is stored only as a secure hash by the sign-in service and is never readable.
• Profile: username, and if you add them, a display name, a short bio and an avatar image.
• Reading data: your library (status, favourite, score), your progress per series, the chapters you finished and when, and your settings.
• Comments you post, with the series or chapter they belong to.

Your email address is used only to send you sign-in codes (account confirmation and password reset). There is no newsletter and no marketing email.

Your profile page shows your username, display name, bio, avatar and the month you joined. Your library is visible there too unless you make it private in Settings. Comments are public and show your name and avatar.

Your email address, your reading history, your progress and the reading activity chart are visible only to you.

Cookies

• mc_prefs keeps your settings: language, content filters and reader options. It lasts about a year.
• When you are signed in, Neon Auth's session cookies keep you signed in.

There are no advertising, analytics or tracking cookies, so there is no cookie banner either.

Browser storage

• Reading history and finished chapters while signed out (mc_history, mc_read). They move into your account when you sign in.
• The translation group you chose per series (mc_groups) and the chapter list layout (mc_chapter_view).

Clearing your browser data removes all of it.

• Neon stores the database and runs the accounts, in Frankfurt (EU). It also sends the sign-in code emails.
• Vercel hosts the site. Like any host it sees requests, including IP addresses, and keeps short logs to run the service.
• MangaDex provides the catalogue, chapters and images. Covers and pages are fetched by this site's server, so MangaDex does not see your IP address for them.
• AniList provides extra details. Banners and character pictures load straight from AniList, which then sees your IP address like any image host.

Fonts are served from this site. Links to publishers and other sites follow those sites' own policies.

Account data stays until you delete it. Deleting your account removes the account, profile, avatar, library, history, settings and comments at once and for good. Sign-in codes expire after a few minutes, and hosting logs are kept only briefly.

• Change your username, display name, bio and avatar in Settings > Profile.
• Make your library private on the same page.
• Remove single titles from your history, or clear it, on the History page.
• Delete your account and everything linked to it in Settings > Account.

Accounts are for people aged 13 or older. Adult titles are hidden by default and only appear after you confirm you are 18 or older.

When the way data is handled changes, this page changes with it and the date at the top is updated.
